Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 553

Bella was smart enough to know when to leave. With a male model keeping Debbie company, she probably hadn’t slept well last night if she couldn’t even get up to answer the door.

After sizing him up a few more times, she concluded that Lucas was indeed high-class, even for an escort. He had a great service attitude and seemed to be keeping Debbie very happy.

Bella wasn't the least bit surprised that Debbie would entertain male models.

She had raised a son and groomed him into the heir of the Blake Group, yet she never got her chance to rise in status. After so many years on her own, it was perfectly normal for her to have a few lovers or keep some boy toys.

Most importantly, Debbie was Sebastian’s mother; she was never short on money.

Bella could easily imagine how comfortable life was for a woman like that, based on other examples she had seen.

After saying her piece, Bella prepared to leave. With Debbie still in bed, it wasn't appropriate for Lucas to be waiting on her. After all, even though Lucas was the kind of professional who would be with anyone for the right price, Bella didn't feel right ordering around her future mother-in-law's companion.

So, after a brief look around, she left.

Lucas saw her out and returned to the bed.

Just then, Debbie began to stir, murmuring, “Who was that?”

Lucas wrapped his arm around her waist. “I’ll tell you later.” He pulled the covers over them, and soon the only movement was the rippling of the blanket.

After another intense session, Debbie’s legs were weak when she finally got out of bed. These young, energetic men were truly something else. If she had known how much fun it was, she would have hired a few to serve her long ago.

However, she guessed Bella wouldn't tell her son. After all, Bella couldn't admit to being in Northwyn herself.

When Bella first brought her here, Debbie hadn't known what her plan was, but over time, she had pieced it together. Bella was simply afraid her wedding wouldn’t go smoothly and wanted to bring her here to stir up trouble. She had mentioned setting up a “reunion” with Sebastian’s father several times.

Debbie had no interest in a reunion, but she had to play along with Bella. After all, she didn’t know how much money Bella had to fund her stay in Northwyn.

But now that she’d been caught with an escort, she knew she had to explain herself.

So, Debbie composed herself, rehearsed her story, and prepared for her performance.

She called Bella, who surprisingly arrived in less than ten minutes. Bella explained that something had come up with the Mercer family, and she would have to stay at the hotel for the week.
