I’m Dedicated To You

Everyone in the room gasped at what Bradley said and they all took a moment to digest it. They never knew he could be a hopeless romantic so they were all shocked.

“Wow I didn’t know my big cousin is a lover boy” Joanna cooed but she stopped when Emily glared at her.

“What exactly did you see in that poor orphan girl!”Emily yelled livid with anger and the whole group was surprised at why she was so mad.

“Mother!!”Bradley called angrily and that scares his mother because he has never seen Bradley so mad like that.

Her son just shouted at her? She hates that girl.

“Son, why are you like this?”Emily asked with her voice shaking.

“I wasn’t saying anything earlier despite the disrespect because I am letting you savor the moment,” Bradley says.

“Savoring?”Emily questioned, not understanding and she looked lost.

“Yes I want you to savor the moment because this is going to be the last time my wife and I are going to eat with this family,” he says and Emily gasps in shock.

“Bradley!!”Bradley’s father called and Will Hale sipped his wine enjoying the play in front of him.

Why go to the cinema when he can just get entertained in the corner of his house?

“I know you are angry with your mother but that outburst is over the range,”Beatrice reprimanded because he doesn’t want the father and son to have a clash.

“We are a family so dinner here and there is inevitable so don’t say that, “Kate says faking concern Bradley didn’t even bother looking at her and she gets angry by his behavior but she masked it up.

“Bradley I don’t think you should get so angry at auntie I am sure she didn’t mean any harm I am sure everyone will want their son to marry a proper woman,” Juliana says emphasizing the PROPER.

“Miss Shawn just because my mother invited you to dinner that doesn’t mean you can interfere in my affairs,” Bradley says dismissing Juliana like an air she felt so awkward but she could cover it up.

“Since everyone doesn’t have anything to say anymore I will be going now,” he says, turning around to leave the dining room.

“We are a family no matter what happens we should learn how to forgive others mistakes,” Grandpa Hale says and that got Bradley laughing.

“Family?”Bradley asked, scoffing.

“Oh you must mean forgiving each other and acting like a big happy family even someone in the family planned a kidnap and an attempted murder on the other one, that must be the kind of family you are wishing for Grandfather,” Bradley says and everyone in the room goes silent and someone even felt more cornered than the rest.

“I just want my family to be happy, “Grandpa Hale says sadly and his wife went to console him.

“What to do grandpa, it seems the family you are trying to protect won’t stop at anything to tear each other down and also degrade themselves just so they could prove their point,” Bradley says.

“My son I am sorry I just have your best interest at heart that’s why I am against you and that girl,” Emily says apologizing.

“No mom you never have my interest at heart you are just using me to keep your position as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hale,” Bradley says his face livid with anger and his mother gasped at her son’s outburst

“Bradley I won’t have you talk to your mother like that”Bradley’s father reprimanded slamming his hands on the dining table.

“That’s enough!!!”Grandpa Hale yelled, choking on his breath due to his old age.

“Since you like the girl so much no one will be against her but if we learn that she isn’t worthy then you will have to divorce her, “Grandpa Hale says with a tone of finality.

Divorce her? Who are they to decide for him?

“Father…”Emily called but a scream was heard at the dining entrance.

“I am sorry ma’am I don’t know you were there” we heard a maid apologizing profusely and I heard Georgina’s voice. I quickly rushed to the scene when I got there and I saw Georgina’s hand was already red due to the burn.

“What happened here!!!”I asked and the maid explained, panicking , how she bumped into Kira and the soup she was holding fell on her.”I think you should quickly get her first aid,”my father suggested.

“No it’s okay I am fine it’s not that bad,” Georgina says and I could see that my family looked at me weirdly.

“You don’t have to be polite let me get you first aid”, Jayden says grabbing Georgina’s hands she quickly retrieves her hand and I glare at Jayden.

“I am sorry for the disturbance. I will go get it treated, “Georgina says and grandma instructed someone to bring first-aid to my room.

“What a troublemaker”Bradley’s mother mutters and everyone looks at her weirdly except Juliana who is staring at Jayden who has been looking at the couple’s retreating.

“Looks like I found myself an accomplice, “Juliana thought happily.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
