Obsessed

Chapter 6

Mr. Smith was an enigma who people usually could not get a word from, so it was a rare sight for him to speak so much in a short time. Clearly, he was furious.

"Old Smith is right. We love our daughter a lot. We won't let her get into a marriage that could cost her life at any moment."

The look on Carla Garcia's face was frighteningly cold as she looked at the Jones family. Mr. Jones, you should know that our daughter can get any man she wants. If your family isn't satisfied with my daughter, our families can make an appointment privately to clear everything up in advance. I only have one precious daughter and she has many suitors out there. We don't need to rely on your family, but your son chose the most hurtful and humiliating way to show it! This is simply unacceptable!"

The couple's words were so blunt that even a seasoned man like Daine Jones was rendered speechless.

As Bella Smith listened to her parents' tough questioning with a cool look on her face, she had no intentions to come forward and ease the situation.

In fact, from the moment she stepped into the Jones family's home, she was fully focused on looking for a specific person.

After she heard the familiar wheelchair sound, Bella Smith's heart fluttered. She quickly looked up and her gaze was met with the familiar figure at the banister on the second floor.

Right at that moment, she could feel heat building at the tip of her nose and her tears followed, blurring her vision.

Finally... She could finally see him again. She was no longer following him around in her ghostly state, watching him avenge her over and over at the expense of his repeatedly damaged body, while she could only watch and not do anything for him.

This time around, she was going to walk up to him properly, touch him, embrace him, and even... kiss him.

The surrounding noises around her continued, but Bella Smith could not hear anything else. Her eyes were filled with only the man she loved so much and whom her heart hurt so much for.

When the quarrel between the families intensified, Bella Smith took the initiative to come forward and spoke clearly and loftily, "The marriage contract between the Smith family and the Jones family can continue."

The bickering between the several people stopped abruptly and Carla Garcia's expression changed slightly as she stared at her daughter in disbelief. " Bella!"

In contrast to the Smith family, Mrs. Jones looked overjoyed and excited as she exclaimed, " I knew Bella wouldn't give up on Kenny. Just look at the two of them, Carla..."

"But I want to choose the person I marry."

Kenny Jones had a disgustedly smug look on his face, thinking that she loved him so much that she could not give him up. Bella Smith interrupted Mrs. Jones and incidentally shot Kenny Jones a glance full of mockery and disdain.

She stood up in front of everyone, raised her hand, and pointed at a specific person who was also watching her frome upstairs. Shr said firmly and cheerfully, "I want to marry him."

When Bella Smith said those words, the atmosphere in the room became quiet.

Not only were the Smith and the Jones families completely baffled, but the person in the spotlight, Andrei Jones, was in a daze as well.

Did she just ask... to marry him? Did that particular person whom he had placed in the deepest pedestal on his heart, the person whom he felt that even liking from afsr would be viewed as excessive... Did she just ask him to marry her in public?!

"You want to marry my youngest uncle? Bella Smith, you're crazy!" Surprisingly, the person who reacted the strongest when hearing Bella Smith's words was Kenny Jones.

He initially thought that Bella Smith was in love with him and was going to use their engagement card to get together with him, so he totally did not expect Bella Smith's declaration.

Kenny Jones did not feel happy or relieved at all. Instead he was rather humiliated.

Bella Smith canceling their engagement and turning around to marry a disabled person was a massive slap in his face!
