Kapitel 38: Passionate Kiss *

After a long silence, Sean asked, "If... only my mother allows us to get married, will you accept?" 

"I'm sorry, Sean. I can't." Bella stated firmly. "I wish your parents would accept me and my son sincerely, without any conditions." She didn't want to repeat her past mistakes by marrying into a toxic family like Tristan's.

Sean sighed softly after hearing the answer. He said nothing because he suspected Bella's marriage to Tristan didn't seem happy.

Bella smiled as she heard him sigh deeply. She gazed at him momentarily, teasing him, "Oh, Mr. Spencer... giving up already?"

Sean sat up straight again and tilted his body slightly to see her face clearly. 

"Bells, giving up is not an option for me. No matter how hard the road may be, I will pursue my goals." He said firmly.

"I like your enthusiasm. You will have my prayer, Sean." 

"As you should!" Sean patted the top of her head gently while smiling.
