Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 509

He called the private dining restaurant and found out they were eating with Lillian.

Naturally, Sebastian was not pleased.

He and Lillian had been divorced for some time, yet she was still in contact with his parents.

However, just as Lillian had predicted, upon learning of the meeting, Sebastian immediately assumed she was doing it because she couldn't let him go.

Lillian had always acted as if she didn't care about him, even saying all sorts of harsh and cutting things to his face.

But in the end, she still couldn't move on.

Meanwhile, Bella was moving quickly. That weekend, she dragged Sebastian along to help her pick out a wedding dress.

Now, sitting in the bridal shop surrounded by a dazzling array of gowns, his mind inexplicably drifted elsewhere.

When he and Lillian got married, there was no formal wedding reception, just a small get-together.

Because it was a secret marriage, they didn't announce it to the public. Only their closest family members and relatives had a meal together, and that was that.

"Sebastian, do you think this one is pretty? Or is this one better?"

Bella moved among the high-end wedding dresses, her spirits soaring. It was clear she was eagerly anticipating the wedding.

To Sebastian, all the dresses looked more or less the same. He wasn't paying much attention.

"That one's nice," he replied casually.

Bella's face fell. "If we weren't in a hurry, we would definitely have a dress custom-made.

"But we want to have the wedding soon, and a custom gown takes at least six months to a year. We just don't have that kind of time."

Turning back to Sebastian, she pleaded, "Sebastian, since we don't have time for a custom dress, can't we just fly to Paris? We could go for a weekend. It'll be a quick trip and won't take up much time. What do you think?"

Sebastian felt that with his parents making moves, it would be better for him to stay in the country over the weekend.

"Things are really busy at the office lately, so I'm afraid I can't make it to Paris. If you can arrange it, maybe you could ask some of your classmates or close friends to go with you."

Sebastian had no intention of accompanying Bella. For one, he had absolutely no interest in picking out wedding dresses. For another, he felt a vague, persistent sense of unease.
