Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 101

Cecilia cried, "Sean, am I going to die soon? Chemotherapy is so awful. I can't sleep, all my hair's gone, and I look hideous.

"I'm terrified. I'm so scared that I won't get to stay with you anymore…"

As Cecilia sobbed, her tears fell like pearls from a broken string, soaking a patch on Sean's chest.

The heat of her tears jolted him back to the present. As he looked at the sobbing, shaking Cecilia in his arms, the anger Annie had stirred in him finally found its vent.

It struck him that Annie was cold and emotionless, while Cecilia was fragile and needed his care. Only with Cecilia did he feel wanted, dependable, and respected.

He held her closer before announcing in a low, firm voice, "Nonsense. I won't let you die."

In his arms, Cecilia lifted her head, tears brimming in her eyes as if he were her last lifeline. "Is that true?"

She bit her lip, feigning hesitation as the calculated look in her eyes faded. "But Sean, I'm scared… Your mom has never liked me.

"The last time she visited, her eyes were so cold, like I'm some kind of jinx. I-If she forces you to leave me, what will you do?"

After she threw the question at Sean, he frowned.

It was true that Helena disliked Cecilia. She decided that the latter came from an ordinary family and was a burden with her sickly body.

But so what? His life was his own to live, and no one else had the right to dictate it. His defiance and need for control burned hotter than ever, especially after Annie had humiliated him.

When Cecilia noticed his silence, her heart sank. Finally, she decided that she couldn't wait any longer and rose onto her toes to press her lips to his.

It carried a desperate resolve and a subtle, calculating edge. After just a brief peck on the lips, she pulled back almost immediately as her tears streamed even harder.

"Let's get married, Sean. I want to wear a wedding dress and be your bride, even if it's just for one day.

"As long as we get married, I'll be your wife. Your mom… She'll have no reason to drive me away again, will she?"

She looked up at him with eyes full of anticipation, perfectly conveying a woman's beautiful yearning for love and marriage. Once they were married, Sean would be bound to her for life and could never shake her off.

Sean completely froze.

When he heard the mention of marriage, Annie's cold, stubborn expression immediately appeared in his mind.

He had once promised to give her a grand wedding, too, but she had decisively turned away and not even bothered to spare him a single glance.
