Orphan to Unbreakable Queen novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548

Noticing David’s displeasure, Jillian thought her husband was making a fuss over nothing.

They’re already engaged. What’s the harm in them seeing each other more often? You’re just worrying too much,” she said.

Not caring that there were guests present, David slammed his fork down and exclaimed, “What do you mean, ‘seeing each other more often‘? She’s a young woman who always runs off to a man’s house. What will people say if the word gets out?

“I don’t care where she is. We have guests here, so go get her back for me, now!”

Jason Molina, their son, was familiar with situations like this. He thought, ‘Honestly, it’s kind of strange. Dad had agreed to Millie marrying Samuel, but now he didn’t want them to spend too much time together. I guess he just has nothing better to do.’

As a young guy, Jason naturally had a soft spot for pretty girls like Aubree. He nudged Aubree and whispered, “Don’t mind my dad, and don’t be scared. He’s always like this. He has a bad temper, but he’ll cool off soon.”

Aubree just smiled and nodded without saying anything. From the situation, it seems like there was definitely something going on with the village chief’s family.

The group naturally didn’t comment on the family’s matters. They remained quiet and tried to gather as much information as they could from the conversation.

Jillian didn’t like that her daughter was being criticized in front of guests, so she and David started bickering back and forth, and it looked like they were on the verge of having a full–blown fight.

Ethan quickly jumped in to smooth things over as he offered, “Hey, don’t worry. If Millie isn’t back yet, I’ll go get her and bring her home.”

Just then, they heard someone at the courtyard gate, “Dad, Mom!” That must be Millie back.

Jason glanced over and was shocked to see his sister. He asked in concern, “Millie, what happened to you? Why are your eyes so puffy?”

Millie’s eyes were swollen red, and she kept wiping away her tears. She tried to stifle her sobs when she noticed they were guests in the house, but she just couldn’t hold it in and blurted everything out, “I went to see Samuel today! Josephine Walls, who lives near the end of the village, is picking on me again!”

*Watch your mouth!” David barked.

Jillian, who had already brought up her daughter’s marriage earlier when Aubree and the others arrived, now grew even more upset. She chided, “Why can’t she say it? You’re her father, so how can you sit there and let someone walk all over your daughter?”

Millie choked back her tears as she explained, “These days, everyone in the village is gossiping that Samuel and Josephine are messing around behind my back. I went to confront him about it today, and the way he stammered and avoided my eyes. He is totally guilty, I can just tell from his behavior!”

No one knows how the rumor started, but word is that one day after work in town, someone saw the village chief’s son, Samuel, and widower, Josepine, getting all handsy at the bus stop. It was sad that Samuel even chased her all the way back to her house.

The rumors just kept spreading, and before long, it turned into everyone saying Samuel and Josephone had been hooking up for ages, and as Millie was just the one getting screwed over.

Jillian knew all too well how the villagers loved to gossip, and that half of what they said was probably fabricated. She usually vented at home, since if she actually went to the village chief’s house to argue about something with no proof, she’d have no real reason to back herself up.

But now, hearing her daughter say all this, Jillian got anxious and exclaimed, “Samuel always looked like such an honest guy. How could he do something like that?

“No way, I’m going to the village chief’s house to get some answers.”
