Chapter 77 Breaking Point
Nolan took a deep breath, pressing his lips together in disbelief. Amelia, are you out of your mind? De even realize where we are right now? And what on earth did you just say?”
He jumped to his feet, his entire body tense with agitation. He couldn’t tell if he was angry because Amelia didn’t know her place, or because of the sudden, inexplicable panic rising inside him.
Jessica snapped, “Nolan, sit down right now!”
Nolan trembled, biting his lips several times. “Mom, aren’t you going to say something to her?”
Jessica tugged at him. “Sit down first. Why are you getting so worked up?”
Nolan forced himself to take a deep breath and sank back to his scat, shooting Amelia a glare that could burn through steel.
Amelia ignored him. Just then, her phone buzzed–it was a message from Dylan.
“What are you up
to?”
She was in a good mood, so she replied right away.
“Discussing breaking off the engagement.”
“Wishing you success.”
Amelia couldn’t help but smile. When she looked up, she met Nolan’s gaze.
The smile in her eyes struck him like a spark in dry grass–igniting fury.
Nolan shot to his feet again and stormed over her.
“Who are you texting? Smiling so happily–have you completely forgotten who you are?”
He walked right up to Amelia, reaching out for her phone.
Amelia smoothly dodged, her expression calm and unbothered.
“Jessica, you’ve seen your son’s attitude for yourself. He’s emotionally unstable. I don’t want my future husband to be like this, so the engagement must be called off. I won’t be staying for dinner. I wish him and Milly all the best.”
With that, she stood up, phone still in hand.
Nolan suddenly grabbed her shoulder and shoved her back down into her seat.
“Amelia Summers! Look me in the eye and say that again!”
Her shoulder hurt from his grip, and she finally realized just how much stronger men could be.
She frowned and pushed him away. “Nolan Hale! Maybe you should take a look at Milly’s face right now?”
Only then did Nolan seem to snap out of it, as if someone had jabbed his sore spot. He quickly turned to look at Milly.

Chapter 77 Breaking Point
Milly stood a few steps away, holding a tray of glabres, Her face was palt. The moment the she forced a pitiful smile.
“Nolan, don’t worry about me. No matter what you decide, I’ll support you.
Nolan’s face darkened even more, and he took several steps back.
Jessica took a deep breath. “Nolan, what exactly do you want? Do you want Milly, or do you want Amella
Her tone was harsh, partly because Nolan seemed to like both of them, and partly because of Amelia? attitude today.
A shadow flickered in her eyes. Nolan was the son she’d raised with all her love–she would never let him suffer in love, not if she could help it.
If this had happened a few days ago, Nolan would have chosen Milly without hesitation. But now, seeing the look of relief on Amelia’s face, he felt unsettled.
“I…” He didn’t know how to respond.
As the tension built up, Felix’s voice came from the doorway
“Hey, Jessica, Nolan, what’s going on here?”
Felix was dressed to the nines today. The moment his eyes landed on Amelia, he couldn’t look away.
Amelia really was stunning–impossible for any man to ignore. He’d missed his chance last time, but he wasn’t about to let her slip away again.
Jessica, always eager to please Felix, immediately stood up when she saw him.
“Felix, what brings you here?”
Her face lit up with delight as she personally welcomed him in. “Come in, have a seat.”
Then she quickly glanced at Amelia and Nolan.
“Amelia, Nolan, let’s talk about your issues later. For now, let’s eat.”
But Amelia just smiled. “Jessica, I don’t want to drag this out any longer. Let’s make things clear today.” Jessica’s face darkened even more. Amelia had embarrassed her again and again.
Felix quickly tugged at Jessica. “Jessica, what’s going on? Why does it feel like everyone’s at each other’s throats?”
Jessica didn’t want him involved, so she kept her tone light. “Just a little spat between the young couple, nothing serious.”
Felix leaned in close, whispering so only she could hear.
“Jessica, Amelia is getting out of hand–she’s been acting like she’s possessed lately, and you can’t conuol her. Did you see the way Nolan looks at her? I’m worried he’s really falling for her and will regret it later. Why not set me up with Amelia instead? If she can’t be your daughter–in–law, she could be your sister–in- law. I can handle her.”

Finished
Jessica was already fed up with Amelia today, and she adored Felix more than anything. Hearing that he wanted Amelia lit a spark in her.
“Felix, you really like her?”
“I do. Since Nolan doesn’t, why not let me have her?”
“All right, I’ll talk to Amelia later.”
Amelia had no idea what they were whispering about, nor did she realize she was being treated like an object, passed from one hand to another.
