CHAPTER 47
For several seconds, nobody at the dining table seemed able to respond to Tyler’s statement. Everyone stared at him, trying to understand why he had suddenly claimed that Eva was not crippled when they all knew she had been unable to walk for years.Isabella was the first to recover. She stared at Tyler with disbelief, her expression quickly changing into one of irritation.“Tyler, do you even understand what you just said?” Isabella asked, pointing toward Eva’s wheelchair. “Are you seriously telling us that Eva is not crippled?”Tyler remained calm, looking at her without saying anything.Isabella shook her head as though she could not believe what she was hearing. She then turned toward Eva before looking back at him.“Have you forgotten that she has been unable to walk properly for years?” she continued. “This is not something we just discovered yesterday. Everyone in this family knows about her condition, and even the doctors have confirmed how serious her disability is. So why
CHAPTER 46
Isabella eventually shifted the conversation from the wedding to the public attention Eva and Tyler’s marriage might attract. She picked up her glass and took a small sip of water before placing it back on the table. Another mocking smile slowly appeared on her face as she turned toward her younger sister.“Well, I suppose there is another thing you should consider, Eva,” Isabella said, pretending to be thoughtful. “Have you thought about what people will say when they hear that you are getting married to Tyler?”“What do you mean?” Eva asked, her eyebrows drawing together.Isabella gave a small laugh before continuing. She seemed to find the subject amusing, and she made no effort to hide the mockery in her voice.“I mean, think about it. You are a member of the Prescott family, and people already know who you are. When the news spreads that you are marrying a man who has practically nothing, people will certainly have something to say about it,” Isabella explained. “It will proba
CHAPTER 45
As breakfast continued, Isabella returned to the subject of the wedding. She placed her spoon beside her plate and looked directly at Eva, wearing an expression that suggested she was only trying to offer helpful advice. However, the slight smile on her face made it clear that she had not finished criticizing Tyler.“Eva, I really think you should be realistic about the kind of wedding you are expecting,” Isabella said, gently folding her hands on the table. “A grand wedding is not something that can be arranged without a considerable amount of money. There are decorations, food, a venue, clothes, and many other expenses to consider. You cannot simply decide that you want an elaborate celebration without thinking about who will pay for everything.”Eva lowered her eyes briefly, already understanding where her sister was taking the conversation. She had hoped that the subject would be dropped, but Isabella seemed determined to keep reminding everyone about Tyler’s financial situatio
CHAPTER 44
Martin continued questioning Tyler about his plans for marriage, clearly determined to make him uncomfortable in front of everyone at the breakfast table. Martin noticed that Tyler was not reacting and gave a small laugh.“Well, perhaps you haven’t thought about those things yet,” he continued, shaking his head slightly. “But you should start thinking about them. Marriage is not something a man enters without preparation.”“Martin, I think you have made your point,” Eva interrupted, looking directly at him with an uncomfortable expression. “There is no need to keep questioning Tyler about his personal affairs.”Martin turned toward her, pretending to be surprised by her response.“Eva, why are you taking it that way?” he asked, raising his eyebrows slightly. “I’m only trying to make sure that Tyler understands what he is getting himself into. You are my future sister-in-law, and I naturally want you to have a good life. Is there anything wrong with that?”Eva pressed her lips toge
CHAPTER 43
The moment Tyler and Eva approached the dining table, Mr. Prescott, Mrs. Prescott, Isabella, and Martin turned their attention toward them. Their eyes lingered on Tyler’s worn-out clothes, and the contrast between his appearance and Martin’s clean outfit was difficult to miss. He was dressed in an expensive suit, with a luxurious wristwatch around his wrist, while Tyler wore the same tattered clothes he had worn the previous day. However, Tyler remained completely unconcerned about their reactions as he helped Eva settle into her place beside him.“Are you comfortable, Eva?” Tyler asked gently, adjusting her wheelchair so that she could sit properly beside the dining table.“Yes, I’m comfortable. Thank you,” Eva replied, offering him a small smile as she positioned her hands on the armrests of her wheelchair.Tyler nodded and took his seat beside her. He barely glanced at the other people around the table, showing no sign that their judgmental expressions bothered him. Meanwhile,
CHAPTER 42
The following morning, Eva woke up and found Tyler standing beside the bedroom door with his hands folded behind his back, looking more like a personal guard than a man who had spent the previous night in her bedroom. She slowly opened her eyes, still feeling sleepy, and turned her head toward the door. When she noticed Tyler standing there, she blinked several times before finally speaking.“Good morning, Tyler,” Eva greeted him sleepily, rubbing her eyes with one hand as she tried to wake herself up properly.“Good morning, Eva. Did you sleep well?” Tyler asked calmly, turning his head toward her with a gentle expression.“Yes, I did,” she replied, giving him a small smile. However, as she looked at him more closely, she suddenly noticed his unusual posture. He was standing perfectly straight beside the door, with both hands folded behind his back. He did not appear to be tired, and there was no sign that he had been resting against the wall. Her smile slowly disappeared as cur
