Chapter 299Chapter 299 Elmore Is So Shameless
Elmore knew Vivien’s words were ironic, but there was nothinghe could do. He had to act humble since
he now wanted Rory to marry Becky.Elmore pretended he didn’t comprehend Vivien’s words.
“You’recorrect, Mrs. Ramos. I think a proposal of marriage is in order. Young people today are not as
conservative as we do. They areimpulsive and have trouble controlling their actions. They arenot to
blame, and Rory is just as culpable. He failed to protectBecky as a man should. The news about them
staying in a hotelroom has been out for a while. I think they should get married assoon as possible. If
they get married, people will think they loveeach other. The sordid gossip will disappear. Don’t you think
so?”This bastard! Vivien cursed silently. She would have cursed him out loud if itwould not damage the
relationship between the two families. Stevie had a serious expression as well. Elmore pretended
tosuggest this proposal all for Becky’s sake, but Stevie was annoyedby this pretense. Times had
changed when it came to relationships. Things weremuch more open than they used to be. Becky and
Rory had notmade up, and even if they did, sex would be a normal thingbetween them. Elmore acted
as if it was something shameful. “I disagree,” Stevie said. “Only Becky and Rory know what is best for
them. I think we should not incorporate ourselves into their affairs. 1 know that you have the best
intentions, but youngpeople today do whatever they want. If something bad happensbecause of your
good intentions, it will defeat the purpose.”Elmore’s expression went still. “You’re right, but now that
Rorystill loves Becky and vice versa. It can be difficult for people fromprominent families to get married.
They don’t always findsomeone who loves them for who they are. I want to have agreat-grandson as
soon as possible.” “I get what you mean,” Stevie said. “We feel the same. We don’tget involved in
Becky’s private affairs. If she loves who she’s withand he treats her well, we trust her decisions.”.
Elmore was aware that his proposal idea was being easilyrejected. He changed the subject. “One
should marry someonewho loves them. It would be good for them to live that way.”The rest of the
conversation with Elmore remained focusedaround other topics.novelbinElmore did not leave until eight o’clock that evening. Vivien and Stevie looked at each other with stern
faces afterElmore was gone.. “What is wrong with the Casper family? They were mean toBecky before,
and they still have the audacity to proposemarriage between her and Rory!” Vivien snapped. “Does he
thinkwe want the betrothal gift and compensation?” Stevie was angry, too. “That old man would do
anything forinterests!”. Stevie was able to see things clearly after the conversation. Elmore was usually
aggressive. This time, however, both Stevieand Vivien replied to his suggestion sarcastically and
Elmorekept a smile on his face the whole time. Elmore was so shameless. And it made Stevie and
Vivien. disgusted,.
