NovelEnglishChapter 179 Family Restrains
“I’m going inside.”
There was so much more that Sheena wished she could say to this man, but she couldn’t.
Carle smiled and nodded, “I’ll walk you to the door.”
“I’m fine. We’re at the gate. There’s no point in walking me. Besides, it’s late. You should go home and
rest.”
Carle didn’t insist. He nodded. He watched until she entered the house safely before driving off.
Sheena watched his taillights disappear from the window. Her heart ached.
He was so kind. If he returned her feelings, she would stay with him for the rest of her life.
Elisa was not interested in him at all. Would this pain scar him forever and keep him from pursuing a
relationship in the future? Would he watch over Elisa for the rest of his life?
Sheena’s eyes welled up even more.

and asked worriedly, “Sheena, what’s wrong?”
Sheena realized where she was. She quickly wiped away her tears. “It’s nothing. I’m just tired. I’m
gonna go rest now.”
Her mother grabbed her arm and saw that Sheena was still crying. Her worry grew. “What happened?
Was someone mean to you? Why were you out this late?”
No matter how she had tried to strongarm Sheena into marrying Hayden in the past, Sheena was still
her daughter, and she could not bear to see her crying like this.
Sheena took in a deep breath. She could not control her emotions from showing on her face. She
tugged her arm away from her mother. “I’m fine. No one was mean to me. You don’t need to worry
about me.”
She quickly walked to her room.
“Sheena!” Her mother caught up to her and asked, “Was it a boy? Did a boy bully you?”
Her mother could not stop herself from blurting out what she really wanted to ask. Sheena stared at her
in shock. “Were you worried because you thought that I had been intimate with someone?”
Her mother’s eyes shifted. “I know that societal standards have changed,” her mother said
exasperatedly, “but you’re still a girl. You need to be careful. If anything were to happen, you’d be the
one to suffer.”
“I’d be the one to suffer?” She asked sarcastically.
There was a subtle change to her mother’s expression. Sheena dug in deeper, “Did you care about my
happiness when you were about to marry me off to that b*stard?”
“You!” Her mother reigned herself back. She said helplessly, “I didn’t know he was like that! He fooled
me. Your father thought…”
Her mother stopped herself from saying anymore. It was as if she did not want Sheena to hate her
father.
But Sheena knew what had happened. “Whatever,” she said calmly, “I don’t want to talk about this

She slammed her door shut.
Her mother was furious. “Sheena! You’re old enough to know better and yet here you are! Acting like a
child! Did you think that all the privilege you’ve experienced came freely? You are a Gilio, and you owe
it to the family! This is your destiny!”
Sheena’s tears fell freely now.
She was suddenly envious of Rachel’s life. If only she could live like her.
Rach chose to cut ties with her family. Her family now had no control over how she lived her life.
Whereas her…
Sheena gasped for air and shut her eyes. She planned on going apartment hunting the next day.
It was a fitful night for Sheena and Elisa. Their troubles kept them from sleeping well, and they kept
waking. The alarm rang, and it was time to get up. Today was the day that she was going to visit her
grandma.
