Chapter 1450


    Tears welled up in Deanna’s eyes. Her father seemed like a stranger now.


    She had believed that marriage meant two people loving each other and living together for a lifetime, but it seemed it was all


    about self-interest.


    Brad suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Deanna with a hint of remorse in his eyes.


    He reached out to grab Deanna’s arm. “I’m sorry, Deanna. | said some thoughtless things.”


    Deanna pulled away, tears streaming down her cheeks.


    “Dad, you have disappointed me. Let me make it clear. | only have one mother. This house belongs to me. | won''t allow that


    woman to step into this house as long as I’m alive. If you dare marry her, I''ll cut all ties with you!”


    She stormed off to her room crying.


    Brad furrowed his brow, watching his daughter’s retreating figure in silence.


    Tears welled up in Noemi’s eyes. She spoke with bitterness in her voice.


    “Brad, even if you don’t love me, Deanna is your own flesh and blood. | hope you won''t let your desires cloud your judgment.


    Don’t be like my ex-husband.


    Don’t let a scheming woman harm our daughter! If | ever find out that woman has ill intentions towards Deanna, I''ll stop at


    nothing, even if it costs me my life. Let’s go, Brian!”


    Brian gave Brad a subtle nod before carefully getting into the car with Noemi.

    Inside the car, Noemi looked out of the window in silence.


    Seated beside her, Selina sensed it was the right moment to offer somefort.


    “Noemi, don’t keep it all bottled up. If you feel like crying, go ahead.”


    Noemi closed her eyes, her voice quivering as she spoke.


    “| have failed as a mother. | felt guilty towards Brian in the past, and now | feel guilty towards Deanna.”


    She had thought about holding on, not divorcing Brad, and continuing the life they had.


    But deep down, she knew there was a barrier in her heart she couldn’t ovee.


    The thought of not divorcing was driving her to the brink of madness.


    “Noemi, don’t worry. Deanna is an adult now. She will be alright soon. And Brian, he is okay now, right?” Selina tried to reassure


    Noemi.
