Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2300

Elliot's expression darkened as he spoke sternly, "Once you've made a decision about a relationship, don't drag it out or leave loose ends."

Adora's lost her appetite as she mumbled, "You just think his family is poor and that he's not good enough for me."

Elliot's temper flared. "Do you think your mom and I are the type to discriminate based on wealth? They say a person can be poor but still have ambition, but all I see in him is a scheming mind, not drive or aim."

"Dad, you've got it all wrong…"

Seeing the conversation heating up, Callum quickly intervened, "Uncle Eli, please don't be angry. Adora's just blinded by that jerk right now. She'll eventually see his true colors and understand your concerns."

Adora turned and glared at him.

Sheena shook her head helplessly, serving Elliot some food. "Let it go. Life is a journey one must experience themselves. Right or wrong, she needs to experience it to truly grow up. Let's drop this and enjoy our meal."

The rest of the dinner passed in silence.

After dinner, Sheena asked Adora to see Callum out, and the two left E&S Haven together. They walked slowly through the winding alleys of the Jenkins estate under the moonlight. On the surface, they appeared as if they were taking a stroll, but the atmosphere was tense.

Callum could feel Adora's coldness, clearly directed at him.

"Adora, are you mad at me?"

Adora replied icily, "Why did you bring up marriage? You knew I hadn't told my parents about Brooklyn and me. I was planning to put in a good word for him, but you've made things more difficult now."

He did not feel he had done anything wrong and argued, "But I agree with Uncle Eli and Auntie Sheena. We don't want you to be with him. Brooklyn isn't a good person. You and him…"

"Enough," Adora interrupted, "Who I want to be with, who I want to marry, that's my business. What's it got to do with you?"

The young man's soft, clear voice sounded pitiful.

Adora froze, slowly turning to meet his blue eyes, misty with unshed tears. She was at a loss for words.

"I'm sorry. I won't meddle with you and Brooklyn again. I shouldn't have made you angry. You can hit me if you want, but please don't leave me here."

Looking at his tearful, wronged expression, Adora's anger melted away. Callum was known for his heart-wrenching crying scenes and making him actually cry felt like a terrible sin.

"You've been a crybaby since you were little. I just can't deal with you!" she sighed.

Despite her words, she walked back and took Callum's hand. "I've been thinking and realized I'm not that busy tonight. I can take care of things tomorrow. Come on, I'll drive you home."
