When Love Turns to Ashes

To Ashes 271 Chapter 271 Please Join Us for a Wedding Banquet Next Week Menu When Beatrice returned to the dining table again, her eyes were red, and anyone who saw her knew that she had been crying. Bella put down her fork and quickly handed her a tissue, "Beatrice, what's wrong with you?" Beatrice held a tissue, her face filled with patience, and said, "It's okay, I accidentally rubbed hand sanitizer into my eyes." Upon hearing, Angie glanced at Beatrice's swollen eyes and gave a faint smile. While drinking soup, he gave Gillian a wink.

a Gillian put down her fork, tugged at the fur on her shoulder, and looked at Beatrice with gaze filled with pity. "Beatrice, we have already informed Mr. Caden and them that we will get married next week. The wedding can be kept simple." Beatrice lifted her eyes lightly and cast a cold glance at Caden, saying, "Don't ask me." "You were sensible, it's good. Women should marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. They should prioritize their husbands. Nowadays, women are just too spoiled, they all need to be properly disciplined." Speaking, Gillian looked at Beatrice, with a smile on her face, but there was a hidden agenda behind her smile.

"After you got married, I would definitely teach you well. By then, you just need to focus on having children. You are so young, having five, six, seven, or even eight children is not a problem." Beatrice did not respond, nor did she she refute. She simply looked at Gillian's belly with a faint expression.

Gillian's face, which was originally haughty, changed immediately. She quickly covered her stomach with a thick fur coat.

"I...

"Um." I was just too busy with work when I was young, and didn't have tto have children." Beatrice casually responded with a nod, finding it amusing in her mind.

It makes sense for the Seiner family to have remained single for four generations.

Gillian also doesn't want to think that when she treats others like pigs, she herself is also a woman.

But she dared to openly say such things, wasn't it because someone was backing her up? The more humble she behaved, the more satisfied Caden and Angie must have been.

"Beatrice, after getting married, you quit your job and focused on having children. It would be best if the first child is a boy, so it doesn't matter whether the second child is a boy or a girl. As for the third child..." As Gillian was about to continue her speech, Caden placed the wine glass on the table with a gentle but firm touch, his fingers adorned with a red jade ring sliding along the rim of the glass, tainted with a hint of blood. Gillian got so scared that she swallowed the rest of her words.

Beatrice paused for a moment, not quite understanding what Caden meant.

What was he angry about? Without waiting for her to think it over, Angie answered her question.

Angie gave a slight cough and reminded, "Madam Seiner, Bella has been recently taking care of her health, and you have been constantly talking about having a baby. It has been putting pressure on her as well." After listening, Beatrice looked at Bella, and her face did indeed turn pale. It seemed that she was also frightened.

No wonder Caden was so eager to interrupt Gillian's words.

Gillian quickly exclaimed, "Why is Ms. Soder the same?" Bella frowned and said, "Beatrice was also a woman, "Ms. Soder was right, Mom, stop talking and let's eat first. Ms. Soder, try this, it's also a specialty of this restaurant." Jakob, who had been silent all along, looked up and smiled at Bella, even tenderly and considerately picking up food for her.

Gillian made a fool of herself, awkwardly smiling, and surprisingly, she didn't even dare to refute her son's words. Beatrice looked up and stared at Jakob, feeling an indescribable strangeness.

Madam Seiner was also a woman, what's the difference?" I didn't expect her actions to make Bella misunderstand.

Bella blocked Jakob's hand from picking up the food and laughed, "Jakob, you don't have to be so polite, don't forget about Beatrice." Beatrice was taken aback for a moment, before she could even react, the food from Jakobfork was already dumped into her bowl.

Menu There was still about half a bowl of soup left in her bowl, and the soup splashed out directly, spilling onto her light-colored sweater. Jakob frowned and said, "I wish you understood the art of hospitality. This is not the place for you to throw a tantrum." Beatrice pursed her lips and absentmindedly grabbed a tissue to wipe her sweater. Her lack of resistance greatly pleased the people at the table.

Only one gaze stared at her for a long twithout dispersing.

After finishing the meal, Beatrice got up and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Bella affectionately held her back.

Bella looked around and pulled Beatrice to the back.

"Beatrice, although Jakob is a decent person, I feel that his mother is not very nice. When getting married, it's not just about the man, but also about the in-laws. You should consider it carefully. At least find someone like my brother or Mr. Caden, right? You deserve better.' Upon hearing the news, Beatrice felt a pang in her heart.

Sometimes, she actually wished that Bella could show off and boast, so that she could find reason to stay away from or even dislike Bella.

But now, she looks even more like a clown.

Children who were raised with love and care, even if their petals were not complete, still had someone praising their uniqueness. What others perceive as showing off is actually just Bella's everyday life.

After saying goodbye, Jakob called out to her.

Just wait patiently to marry "Mr. Seiner, I am curious, you seem to not likeat all, why did you agree to marryat Ms. Lezon's request?" Beatrice asked in return. "It was probably..." Jakob's rough voice trailed off, as his tall and muscular figure loomed over Beatrice, finally lowering his gaze. "Your legs are really beautiful." After speaking, he smiled and turned around, leading Gillian towards the parking lot.

Beatrice stood outside the restaurant, with Jakob's voice echoing in her ears. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and she felt a chill running down her spine.

She tightened her clothes and turned around to hail a taxi to leave.

Just as she took a few steps, a car stopped beside her, and the window rolled down halfway, revealing a man's profound half-face.

"Get on the car." Beatrice glanced at him and walked straight ahead, and the car also slowed down to catch 1. up.

She couldn't bear it anymore and said, "What's the matter? You just want to know my thoughts on blind dates? Fine, next week, please cto my wedding, are you satisfied?" "Make it clear," Caden asked, squinting his eyes.

"What are you pretending? Did Mr. Caden change his career to becan actor?" Beatrice snorted coldly and, seeing Caden's car blocking her way, she simply turned and entered the pedestrian street.

"So you treatedas..." Beatrice found it difficult to speak, so she paused for a moment.

Just a couple of seconds later, Caden's phone rang.

On the other end of the phone, Bella's gentle voice cthrough, "Mr. Caden, I..." "Coming right away." As Caden hung up the phone, he turned around and left.
