The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1596

In the past, Arnold was a playful and dissolute man. He lived a carefree and hedonistic life and only cared about living in the moment. But now, this wandering soul of his yearned to settle down permanently with Asher.

However, Mila insisted on digging up his past, reminding him of the pain and forcing him to wake up to reality.

“Aunt Mila, I…”

“Arnold, your father and elder brother overlooked how you’ve played around abroad. I’m an outsider since I married into the Thompson family, and I have no say in how to control you either.” Mila furrowed her brows and said in a low and stern voice, “But Asher is the pillar of the Thompson family, the eldest son that Wyatt has high hopes for. You cannot have any ideas about him!”

Arnold felt a sharp ache in his heart. He took a step back.

“I’ve watched you grow up. In the past, when your father was too busy to look after you, I stepped in to accompany you in your studies and hobbies. I understand you far better than anyone else in the Larson family.”

Mila sat weakly on the sofa, feeling a burning sensation in her chest. “I can read every move that you make like a book. I’ve had my suspicions about your feelings for Asher for a while now, but I wasn’t completely sure and kept observing you in secret. It wasn’t until I found this evidence. Only today, when I noticed your interactions, were my suspicions confirmed. The thing I feared most has finally happened.”

She continued, “Arnold, Asher is different from those men you fool around with. You cannot get involved with him. If you ruin him, the Thompson family will be finished. Wyatt will be so furious that he’ll suffer another stroke!”

Arnold couldn’t hold back his emotions any longer. His eyes turned red as he shouted, “Why does he have to know? Won’t it be better if we keep it a secret?”

Mila was deeply shocked. “What did you say?”

“Asher... Asher likes me too. And I like him very much.”

Arnold clenched his fists tightly, tears welling up in his eyes, but suddenly he smiled brightly.

“No, I don’t just like, I love him. Aunt Mila, I love Asher. I love him so much. No matter what, I will never leave him!”

Mila’s vision went dark. Her heart was set on protecting the Thompson family. For the sake of the Thompson family’s interests, she was determined to stop any potential threats to their family. This included a romantic relationship between Arnold and Asher that the high society of Hatchbay and Savrow could not accept.
