    Chapter 299 Elmore Is So Shameless


    Elmore knew Vivien’s words were ironic, but there was nothinghe could do. He had to act humble


    since he now wanted Rory to marry Becky.Elmore pretended he didn’tprehend Vivien’s words.


    “You’recorrect, Mrs. Ramos. I think a proposal of marriage is in order. Young people today are not


    as conservative as we do. They areimpulsive and have trouble controlling their actions. They arenot


    to me, and Rory is just as culpable. He failed to protectBecky as a man should. The news about


    them staying in a hotelroom has been out for a while. I think they should get married assoon as


    possible. If they get married, people will think they loveeach other. The sordid gossip will disappear.


    Don’t you think so?”This bastard! Vivien cursed silently. She would have cursed him out loud if


    itwould not damage the rtionship between the two families. Stevie had a serious expression as


    well. Elmore pretended tosuggest this proposal all for Becky’s sake, but Stevie was annoyedby this


    pretense. Times had changed when it came to rtionships. Things weremuch more open than


    they used to be. Becky and Rory had notmade up, and even if they did, sex would be a normal


    thingbetween them. Elmore acted as if it was something shameful. “I disagree,” Stevie said. “Only


    Becky and Rory know what is best for them. I think we should not incorporate ourselves into their


    affairs. 1 know that you have the best intentions, but youngpeople today do whatever they want. If


    something bad happensbecause of your good intentions, it will defeat the purpose.”Elmore’s


    expression went still. “You’re right, but now that Rorystill loves Becky and vice versa. It can be


    difficult for people fromprominent families to get married. They don’t always findsomeone who loves


    them for who they are. I want to have agreat-grandson as soon as possible.” “I get what you mean,”


    Stevie said. “We feel the same. We don’tget involved in Becky’s private affairs. If she loves who


    she’s withand he treats her well, we trust her decisions.”. Elmore was aware that his proposal idea


    was being easilyrejected. He changed the subject. “One should marry someonewho loves them. It


    would be good for them to live that way.”The rest of the conversation with Elmore remained


    focusedaround other topics.


    Elmore did not leave until eight o’clock that evening. Vivien and Stevie looked at each other with


    stern faces afterElmore was gone.. “What is wrong with the Casper family? They were mean


    toBecky before, and they still have the audacity to proposemarriage between her and Rory!” Vivien


    snapped. “Does he thinkwe want the betrothal gift andpensation?” Stevie was angry, too. “That


    old man would do anything forinterests!”. Stevie was able to see things clearly after the


    conversation. Elmore was usually aggressive. This time, however, both Stevieand Vivien replied to


    his suggestion sarcastically and Elmorekept a smile on his face the whole time. Elmore was so


    shameless. And it made Stevie and Vivien. disgusted,.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
