The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 154
Book 2 Chapter 77
~AUTUMN~
“What the hell is wrong with you?” I demand from Atticus. “How could you hit your brother?”
He runs a hand down his face, “how can you be okay with all of this?” He demands. “rissa is my
sister, and until a few days ago, I thought Damon also considered her his sister.”
“They’re in love,” I shout. “In love, Atticus. Like the both of us. I love you, and if I were in rissa’s
situation, I would have done the same thing. Their love for each other is not wrong. You shouldn’t treat
them the way that you did earlier.”
He sits on the edge of the bed and drops his face in his hands. “You don’t understand, Autumn. It’s
hard to ept my sister and brother being in love. I know she’s my adopted sister, but she’s my sister.
He’s my brother. Every time I think about it, I feel sick to my stomach. I don’t know how to ept it. I
don’t know how to be happy for them. I wish it were easier; I wish it were different.”
I sit beside him and gently ce a hand on his tensed shoulder. “I know it’s going to be hard. It isn’t a
situation that your family would easily ept, I understand that, but you shouldn’t have done what you
did. Damon may not have supported our marriage initially, but he did ept it eventually, I’m sure he
will appreciate it if you could do the same thing for him.”
I can see how much this is hurting Atticus, but he needs to ept them one way or the other. If he and
the rest of the family don’t ept them soon, we will lose them both. And that’s thest thing that I
wanted. rissa was like a sister to me. I would not lose her over something like this.
“You need to talk to your family.” I urge him. “They will listen to you.”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
“Did you even see the look on Dante’s face?” He demands. “He recently lost the woman he was in love
with, and now he finds out that rissa and Damon are in love with each other. I don’t think there is
anything that I could say to make him change his mind.”
I sigh. I knew Dante would probably be thest one to ept any of this, but the main problem was the
family’s elders. They had to ept it first, and I knew Atticus would be able to convince them. He was
always good at convincing his family; my job was to get Atticus first to understand what I was trying to
say to him.
“You care about both rissa and Damon.” I remind him. “And their happiness is being with each
other. I know you’re still upset with me for keeping this from you, but I had to be there for rissa. I
don’t know how to exin it, but I wanted to make her happy. I have this bond with her, my heart tells
me that she’s my sister, and maybe it’s because of the support she’s always given to me. I wanted to
return the favor. She was there for me during the hard times, and I wanted to take care of her as well. I
hope you can forgive me for it, Atticus. But please, right now, I need you to try your best to ept
them. They will need all of us when outsiders learn about their rtionship. It won’t be easy for them,
and you know it. We can’t abandon them when they need us the most.”
He surprised me when he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face in my chest. “I didn’t
mean to go all crazy on them or you.” He whispers. “I’m sorry, Autumn. Just the thought of them being
together made me angry. I didn’t want to believe that Damon was taking advantage of rissa. I didn’t
want to believe that he would ever overstep his boundaries like I thought he did. Now that I know how
much they love each other, I think I’m willing to try and be more understanding.”
I bury my hands in his hair and press my lips to his forehead. “Thank you, Atticus. I know this isn’t easy
for you. But thank you. With your help, we could convince your family to bring them back home.”
“Do you know where we can find them?” He asks me.
“Thest message from rissa informed me that they were returning to the beach house. They will
stay there until tomorrow. Damon is hoping to find somewhere else to stay.” I answer him. “If we can
get your parents down there by tomorrow or even tonight, we can convince them to return home.”
Atticus nods, “Okay. Let’s talk to my parents.”
We barge into their room a few minutester. His mother’s eyes were swollen and she’s definitely been
crying.
“Mom.” Atticus greets her first. “Dad.”
“We are having a private discussion Atticus, why don’t youe backter?” His father asks him.
“This is important.” Atticus informs him. “It’s about rissa and Damon. I think that you should support
their rtionship.”
His parents looks both surprised and unhappy with his suggestion.
“Atticus, what are you saying?” His mother demands. “Just a while ago you were saying something
completely different. How can we allow this rtionship to continue?”
“You love them both.” Atticus answers her. “One of them is your biological son, and the other, is your
daughter no matter what others say. I know this isn’t something any of us can easily ept, it’s
something that none of us expected. However, we all love them. We want them to be happy and if it’s
being with each other, we should not get in the way. This is simr to when you learned the truth about
Autumn. It was hard at first to ept everything but eventually you did the right thing. You epted
her. Please consider doing the same for Damon and rissa. If you don’t, we will lose them both.”
I couldn’t have said it any better. Now all we had to do was hope that it works.
