Chapter 1439Chapter 1439
"Howard was the one who told me not to use my marriage and future happiness to exchange for ten years of his life. I think he
had a point there," Liam answered.
"You—" Madam Sheldon's temper sparked. She pointed at him. " Liam, you are too selfish! How could you say that?"
"If I married Miss Young, then Howard is the selfish one. I think he doesn't want to have the pressure of being selfish so he asked
me not to marry Miss Young," Liam talked back.
Madam Sheldon was lost in words.
"Mom, we should be the ones making decisions for our own future. Can you and dad stay out of it?" Liam asked.
At this point, Madam Sheldon was really speechless. Although Liam did have a point, she was still very furious because she was
their mother. From her point of view, she thought it was just a small sacrifice for Liam to marry someone he did not love but a
woman who was talented in many areas to exchange for the ten years of prison life Howard was facing.
Liam felt helpless when he saw how disappointed his mother was. " Mom, I think I shouldn't come back here. I only make you
angry when I come back."
He pointed at the door. "Why don't I leave now."
Madam Sheldon shouted angrily when she saw Liam leaving, " Come back here, right now!"
Liam stopped walking and looked back. "I can come back. But you can't get so frustrating and we are
not allowed to discuss my marriage."
"You... Are you threatening me?" Madam Sheldon asked.
"I'm not. I just want you to scrap that idea and not think about it anymore," Liam explained.He walked back to the bed and helped her to lie down. "Mom, if you are not feeling well, it's best for
you to lie down. Don't be angry because of me."
Madam Sheldon was afraid he would leave, she endured it and not said the things in her heart. Then
she closed her eyes. "Fine. I won't talk about it anymore. As long as you are happy with your decision."
Liam spent some time with his mother in the bedroom. After a while, Yanne came in with the soup she
cooked. She looked at Madam Sheldon and asked in a small voice, "Liam, is your mother asleep?"
"Not yet." He took over the bowl of soup from her and said, " Yanne, let me do it. You should go get
some rest."
"It's fine. I'm not tired," Yanne said thoughtfully. "Why don't you go rest? 1 can take care of your
mother."
"Yanne, I..." Liam paused. "I need to talk to you."
"Sure. We can talk after your mother recover," Yanne said.
Both Yanne and Madam Sheldon knew what Liam wanted to say to Yanne without guessing. Avoiding it
could not solve the problem but it could prolong a day for Yanne to accept the reality.
"Mom, have some soup," Liam took the soup and said to his mother.
Madam Sheldon opened her eyes and glanced at him coldly but she still opened her mouth to accept
the soup Liam fed to her. She knew no matter what she said, Liam would not listen so she did not say
anything else and finished the soup.
Later, she said to both Liam and Yanne. "Both of you should go rest. I'm going to sleep now."
"Okay. Remember to call me if you need anything," Yannie said."You are such a thoughtful girl," Madam Sheldon sighed.
Liam and Yanne left the bedroom. Yanne went back to the kitchen to take a bowl of soup and sent it to the study room for Liam.
Liam looked at the bowl of soup and then he looked at Yanne again. "I don't want it. Thank you."
Yanne tightened her finger as she held the bowl of soup and said, " Liam, are you afraid I might put something in it?"
"To be honest. Yes," Liam answered boldly.
Yanne coughed embarrassingly, "I'm really sorry for that night. I was just cooperating with your mother..."
"You don't have to explain it. It's in the past," Liam cut her off. He stared at her and said, "Yanne. I don't think you should two
people should be forced to get married. I hope you can understand."
