NovelUpdateChapter 561 When Noelle heard Wyatt's question, she was equally curious. Donovan protected Xenia so much. Even after knowing about her kickbacks from the foundation, he was still willing to clean up her mess.
Could it be that Donovan liked Xenia, too? The question lingered in the air, and the entire hall fell into silence.
Xenia gawked at Donovan in disbelief. She'd never thought about it that way. Donovan was rarely home, after all, and he was much older than she was. That idea had never crossed her mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut if Donovan did like her, that'd certainly be better than Wyatt.
Donovan immediately reprimanded Wyatt. "What nonsense are you sprouting? I've always seen Xenia as my younger sister.
"Do you think I'm like you? Someone who gets his hands on his younger sister?" Donovan was furious at Wyatt's words. To say he liked Xenia was a ridiculous claim. There was a reason he protected her, but it definitely wasn't because he liked her. He wasn't that desperate.
Wyatt grew mad. "But Xenia isn't our biological sister." "I handled her adoption paperwork, and she's legally our sister now. That means you two can't get married or register as a couple." Noelle had never considered that, but it made sense. Though Xenia and Wyatt weren't blood-related, the law still prohibited their marriage.
Wyatt froze and confusedly asked, "Is that true?" Xenia quickly chimed in, "I think that's how the law works." She let out a quiet sigh of relief. Truthfully, she'd never wanted to marry Wyatt, but she had to agree for now to resolve the current situation. She'd always know that she and Wyatt couldn't legally register their marriage, but she'd kept quiet and pretended not to know.
Now, Donovan finally spoke about it. Wyatt held her hand tightly. "Don't worry. I promised to marry you, and I'll take full responsibility.
"Tomorrow, we'll start the process to dissolve the adoption and remove your identity as a Liddell. That way, we can get married." Xenia's lips twitched slightly. She'd worked so hard to get registered as a daughter of the Liddell family, so how could she possibly give up that easily? She lowered her voice and replied, "That's not forto decide." Wyatt turned to Donovan. "Donovan, are you really gonna break apart two people who are in love? If you see Xenia as your sister andas your brother, you should agree." Donovan was now the head of the family, after all.
Donovan glanced at Wyatt's empty pants and felt incredibly frustrated. "It's not that I don't agree, Wyatt. But I Xenia's adoption was finalized less than a year ago. If she suddenly annuls it now, people will mock her if words get out." "We'll just make sure no one finds out!" Wyatt grew anxious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, he continued, "I know you can make it happen, Donovan. You just don't want to agree to it. I'm disabled, and having someone who likesis rare enough. If you stopfrom getting married, how are you going to explain to Mom and Dad?" té "Enough!" Donovan was on the verge of losing his temper.
Was Wyatt an idiot? Couldn't he tell that Xenia harbored malicious intentions and married him not just because she liked him? There was definitely something else going on, but Donovan couldn't outright expose it either.
Meanwhile, Noelle enjoyed the from the side. "Just agree already, wise Donovan Xenia will be more closely tied to the Liddells; isn't that great?"
"I know you hate and want to kickout, Noelle. But if I annul my adoption less than a year after being taken in, how will I face the world if words get out?" Xenia felt incredibly uneasy. She really didn't want Donovan to agree.
Wyatt reassured her. "Don't worry, Xenia. We can move to another city kowe where no one knows us. That way, people won't gossip." Xenia was resistant to the idea. She wanted to stay in Yasnia, and there was no way she'd like to hide in a small town.
Noelle smirked. "That actually sounds like a great idea. After splitting up the family assets, Wyatt can take his share and start a new life somewhere else. He'll live quite comfortably."
