The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1061

Chapter 1061

When Ryan’s hand met Carrie’s slender back, he realized sweat had seeped through the fabric of her clothes.

His heart dropped, and his breath hitched.

Ryan had pushed her too far. He should not have let her dwell in the painful past or be stuck at getting even.

He did not want the love of his life to be burdened with anything because he would handle it all for her.

“D-Did your sister pick on you?"

Gregory’s sudden question made Carrie shiver to the core.

With her head hung low, Carrie gripped her skirt without saying a word.

“Ts that true? Has Bethany been abusing you? Tell me. [ll take care of it."

“Mr. Salvador, you know Carrie. She doesn’t have your other daughter’s knack for saying the right things. Sometimes , Carrie can be too kind to have a fallout with her family. She would rather live cautiously and tolerate the insult than destroy the peace at home."

Unable to hold his tongue, Ryan opened his mouth, his eyes chilly. “Let bygones be bygones. It’s not worth getting upset about things that happened so long ago. They are both your children anyway."

Ryan made no mention of Bethany, but he was talking about her for sure.

Gregory grimaced, his hands on his lap clenching.

Ryan helped Carrie up and slipped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him in an assertive manner.

“Since the past is in the past, there’s no point dwelling on it. But I can’t say the same thing for the future. Now that Carrie and I are together, I will sort everything out for her. If anyone so much as hurts her, I will make that person pay, and it won’t matter to me who that person’s father is."

Paul added earnestly , “Ms. Carrie is all grown up. She’s not a child anymore. You can’t just keep her at home to stay away from socializing or being in touch with the real world. It will do nothing to help her. Haven’t you realized? Ms. Carrie is bubblier and smiles more now that she’s with Mr. Hoffman."

Gregory gave a nod.

Even he had not seen Carrie smile so brightly in a long time. It was clear that Ryan gave her the world.

“I really spoiled Bethany. Carrie is her sister. How could she do such a thing?"

Gregory’s heart broke as the sweet and innocent image of Bethany in her younger days entered his mind.

“You are the company you keep, Chairman Salvador.” That was all Paul had to say.

Gregory tensed his jawline, his eyes unreadable.
