    Chapter 785


    “Yes, yes! Britney is a finedy indeed! Oh, my son! Finally, you’re seeing reason!”


    Peter said, “Mom, I’m calling you to inform you and Dad of our rtionship. Britney and I will be getting


    married soon.”


    “Oh? Married? So soon?! That’s great news! Oh, after pursuing you for so long, Britney’s love is finally


    reciprocated! I’m so happy that you acted so fast after you’ve finally understood what a good match she


    is. I’m so proud of you, Peter!” Mrs. Hall was overjoyed from hearing


    the news.


    Peter gave a bitter smile and said, “Thank you, Mom. I’ll visit Mr. and Mrs. Thomas today to deliver the


    news. This should also give you time to prepare for what’sing.”


    “Good! That’s good! Son, you’re the best! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to hang up and tell your


    father the good news!”


    “Mom…” Before Peter was able to say anything else, Mrs. Hall had hung up


    the phone.


    He wanted to ask them how they had been getting on in all those years he was not around them. Still,


    he had been living all by himself-being so independent that he could not bring himself to show


    weakness and ask her.


    “It’s alright.” He pressed his phone onto his eyebrows and mumbled to himself, “Sally’s with them.


    She’ll take care of Mom and Dad.”


    Three dayster, the swelling on Sally’s face had finally healed and she was released from the hospital.

    As soon as she entered her home, Mrs. Hall grabbed her hand and apologized, “I’m so sorry for how I


    acted the other day, Sally. I’ve always thought your brother had always been a capable boy yet he’d


    done such a huge blunder.”


    Sally was stunned hearing that. “What did Peter say this time?”


    “He told me that you are always so busy with work so it’s not possible for you to find time to date


    someone. He had made a blunder and thought that you were pregnant and intended to elope with a


    man. We are really sorry to have wronged you. You’ve been such a good girl. We should never have


    doubted you.”


    Sally frowned as she sat on the sofa speechlessly.


    Mrs. Hall then tried to cheer her up with good news. “Have you heard about your brother and Britney?”


    “What?” Sally asked in confusion.


    “They’re finally in a rtionship. Me and your dad and Britney’s parents had already gotten the news.


    We support their union.” Mrs. Hall was so happy that she smiled as bright as the sun. “Now that your


    brother has finally decided to get married, it’s about time for you to find your own spouse. Now, Sally, I


    heard about this young man from the Gilbert family…”.


    “No!” Sally interrupted her mother coldly.


    Mrs. Hall was not bothered by her daughter’s curt interruption and kept on with her matchmaking. “No,


    hear me out. This Gilbertd is really good… He…”


    “I meant Pete and Britney.” Sally’s face was as cold as an iceberg. “They cannot be together!


    Never!”


    Then, she stood up from the sofa and asked, “Where’s Pete? Is he home? I need to talk to him!”


    “Sally, what’s wrong? Weren’t you fond of Britney?” Mrs. Hall was confused by her daughter’s sudden


    rejection of Britney.


    Sally gave her mother a conflicted gaze. She then decided that it was best to leave her parents. out of


    this-this matter had gotten tooplicated.


    “No matter what everyone says, I just can’t ept their union. Mom, trust me. Peter can marry any


    woman he likes but not the Britney who’s currently with the Thomases!”


    Mrs. Hall’s face turned sour. She pulled Sally to a side and said, “Is this because of that.


    misunderstanding your brother had of you? Come on, Sally. You shouldn’t hold a grudge. Peter loves


    you so much.”


    “No, it’s not that!” Sally’s head began to ache as she tried to find a way to persuade her mother. “Why’d


    you think I would hold a grudge against him just because he told a lie?!”


    She knew her parents had always doted on their son more than her. It was not umon to see this


    favouritism in Fortuna so she was not all that bothered by her parents ying favorites. After all, her


    brother had doted on her so she did not feel unloved growing up in the household.


    Still, her mother’s words had hurt her a great deal!


    “Why are you overreacting? Your brother was not lying. It was merely a misunderstanding. We’ve been


    really good to you. Sure, Peter was in the wrong for ruining your name like that. But he did it because


    he was worried about you. I was so worried that you were really going to elope while being pregnant


    but I didn’t tell your father. Because if he knew, he would be so pissed that he’d beat you to death,”


    Mrs. Hall said, thinking that her daughter was merely acting up for how they treated her a while ago.


    “Mom!” Sally was so anxious and angry seeing that her mother did not intend to listen to her side of the


    story. She shoved her mother’s hand away and stomped on the floor. “I’m not upset at him saying that I


    was pregnant and nning to elope. I am not upset at all about that!”
