Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 199

Sabrina smiled. "Men... why contradict them? Just let them think what they want to think. Isn't that enough?

When they're happy thinking their own thoughts, it's much easier than having to coax them like a child, isn't it?

Whatever he wants, just let him think he has the ability to get it, and he'll be happy. When he's happy, your life will be easier. No one will be nagging you. Isn't that nice?

As for everything else, as long as the situation is within your control, you just have to quietly manage it. If you can't manage it, then find another way. In short, you don't have to completely crush all their thoughts and ideas."

"What you're saying makes sense, but what if Mr. Mercer finds out you're secretly using birth control? Wouldn't that hurt your relationship even more?"

"Who said I'm secretly using birth control? Giving birth would indeed be very harmful to my body, and there's a chance I could lose my life. But getting pregnant is another story.

Don't worry, your mother has already thought of a complete plan.

You should just focus on what you need to do and not worry about me.

Your work is so busy, and Sebastian still isn't divorced. Bella, your situation is what I'm most worried about.

Do you understand?

Only when things are stable on your end can I rest easy. Now that Lillian is no longer needed for a second child, the most important thing is to find a way to get rid of this obstacle.

As long as she's around, you and Sebastian can't be considered a legitimate couple. You've seen what happened to me, so you know how important it is to be legitimate. I'm already in this situation, and some things can't be washed clean. There's nothing I can do about it.

But you're different.

My beautifully crafted daughter must marry into a wealthy family with a clean and untainted reputation.

You're still young, and you might not understand some things now, but in the future, you'll realize how important a clean reputation is."

Bella understood perfectly. It was because she understood that her hatred for Lillian was so deep.

If outsiders knew about Sebastian and Lillian's secret marriage, they would probably gossip about her behind her back.

This was also why she had gone to great lengths to fire the old employees who had started the business with Sebastian and Lillian.
