Forbidden Love

Chapter 76

Henry's announcement left Amy dumbfounded.

What does her dad mean by engagement?

What is all this about?

When did he come up with such an absurd idea?

This is seriously not happening.

Amy was wrapped up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice her mom and dad leaving the dinning room. She glanced at Sean and noticed he was wearing a surprised yet happy expression.

Is he being serious right now?

Is he actually happy about the both of them getting married?

She finally found the courage to look at Bryan, who was already staring at her. For a moment, she thought she saw guilt in his eyes, but she was wrong. He showed no emotion whatsoever, causing her to feel extremely hurt and betrayed. She still couldn't believe that Bryan didn't object to the engagement.

After almost three years of dating, he is okay with her getting married to his son?

Does she really have no place in his heart?

At that realization, Amy pushed back her chair and stood up. She stared at Bryan long and hard, trying her hardest not to show how disappointed she was in him. She then left the dinning room in tears. This bothered Sean, so he went after her.

Meanwhile, Henry and Paula were arguing in the living room.

"I can't believe you, Henry. What were you thinking?!"

"I was thinking about our daughter's future. Her happiness!"

"Really? Is that so?... If that were the case, you shouldn't have made such a decision without consulting her first"

"So, now I need my daughter's permission concerning what's best for her?"

"Yes, you do!" Paula yelled, extremely angry at her insensitive ex-husband.

"Our daughter is still too young to get married... She needs to have a life besides the one you decide for her"

"A life I know nothing about"

"Oh please!" She scoffed, giving him a hostile stare.

"You may not realize it, but you're hurting our daughter" Paula said in a calm voice, as she was tired of yelling.

"Why are you always against my decisions? Do you enjoy arguing with me this much?"

There was an edge to Henry's voice. He couldn't quite get why Paula always disagrees with him when it comes to their daughter.

"You're getting it wrong, Henry-"

"Then why are we having this discussion?!" He angrily asked, interrupting her.

"Because I don't want Amy ending up like us!" Paula yelled back, finally pouring out her fears.

The room fell silent after that.

Bryan walked into the living room and noticed the tension in the room.

"I'll be leaving... Henry, I think Amy needs you" he quietly said.

"Is that all you have to say, Bryan?" Paula asked in disbelief.

Paula's question made Bryan nervous. She's putting him in a difficult situation right now. Henry's decision has nothing to do with him.

According to Henry, Sean asked for his help since he was too scared to tell Amy about his feelings, and he also thinks there's a good chemistry going on between them, so he decided to seize the opportunity.
