Chapter 137:

Bringing up Wyatt’s name altered the look on Elena’s face right away, though she clung to denial and brushed off the idea.

Noticing she refused to budge, Jordy didn’t bother with any more warnings. “If being part of the Green family still means something to you, then you’ll head to the hospital and say you’re sorry p>

Still, Elena held her ground, her resolve as hard as stone.

“If you’re worried about what Wyatt thinks of you, you’d better come with me to the hospital and apologize,” Jordy continued.

He quickly realized that appeals to family wouldn’t get him anywhere, so he tried a new tactic—Wyatt was the person Elena cared about most. The moment she heard Wyatt’s name, her expression turned conflicted. After much persuasion from Jordy, she finally gave in and agreed to go to the hospital to apologize.

Jordy had already made up his mind. The second this mess was handled, he would have the bodyguards send her straight back to Prevda.

At Kretol City Hospital,

Elena and Jordy stepped into the room and found Amelia and Wyatt already waiting. Elena’s heart stung with regret as soon as she saw them. The look on Amelia’s face made her feel mocked.

She just stood there, saying nothing. Jordy’s frustration showed as he leaned close and muttered, “Are you just going to stand there? Get on with it and apologize p>

Elena tuned him out and glanced instinctively at Wyatt instead. He had been paying attention to Amelia, but then turned to look at Elena. Nothing but distance showed in his eyes. He looked at her as if she were a stranger—one he didn’t particularly like.

That was all it took for Elena’s composure to crack. She pulled her arm free from Jordy and made for the door, but he blocked her before she could leave. Thinking of what Wyatt had said, Jordy dropped his voice. “Walk out now, and I’ll call Grandma right away p>

Elena feared almost no one, except for her grandmother, Nola Green. Having grown up under Nola’s strictness, she still remembered the punishments she had endured. Her grandmother’s standards allowed no exceptions. Just the memory left her shaking, and she stopped before she reached the door.

Anger burned in her eyes as she turned to glare at Amelia, only to sense a cold, piercing gaze. Wyatt’s eyes bored into her with intensity. “Is this how you apologize p>

While speaking, his attention flicked over to Jordy. “Elena p>

Jordy gave her a warning look. He pulled out his phone, silent but threatening. Elena, her eyes glistening with tears, finally found her voice. “I’m sorry.” Although she was the one at fault, after apologizing she turned to Jordy and yelled, “Are you satisfied now p>

With no intention of lingering another second, Elena shoved past Jordy and hurried out of the hospital room.

As her footsteps faded down the corridor, Jordy turned to Matias, who was lying quietly in bed, and tried to smooth things over. “I’m truly sorry. This is on my family. We didn’t raise her the way we should have p>

Matias, fully aware he’d only received the apology because Amelia insisted, quickly tried to ease Jordy’s burden. “There’s really no need for you to apologize, Mr. Green. Miss Green wasn’t entirely at fault. I shouldn’t have provoked her p>

After leaving the hospital, Amelia walked in silence beside Wyatt, her brow furrowed with worry. He noticed the tension in her face. Looking at him, she asked, “Do you think Mrs. Stewart is going to blame me for everything that happened today p>

She knew that Wyatt was in her corner, but the rest of the Stewart family was a different story.

He caught her uncertainty and let out a soft laugh. “You’re still calling her Mrs. Stewart? Isn’t it about time you changed how you address her p>

Before she could find the words to answer, Wyatt continued, “Don’t stress about it. My mother is not unreasonable. And between her daughter-in-law and an outsider, she’ll definitely side with her daughter-in-law p>

No sooner had he said it than Amelia’s phone buzzed with a video call from Wyatt’s mother.

At that moment, Amelia’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly. She looked at Wyatt for help, but he pretended not to notice, leaving her no choice but to answer the call.

As soon as the call went through, Della’s bright smile filled the screen. “Amelia, I just heard from Kurt that you and Wyatt got your marriage registered! That’s wonderful news p>

Della’s open excitement made Amelia blush with shyness, but she managed a gentle nod.

Della’s tone then became more serious. “Now that you’re officially part of our family, Amelia, you need to remember something. If Wyatt ever gives you a hard time, just come to me. I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson for you p>

Whether Della meant every word or not, Amelia could feel the warmth and acceptance from her. A smile broke across Amelia’s face.

Seeing that Della was still talking, Wyatt couldn’t help but take the phone from Amelia. “Mom, please, don’t disturb us, okay? Give us more time to be alone together. We just got married, after all p>

Without waiting for an answer, he ended the call. Amelia opened her mouth to protest, but before she could say anything, her phone rang again.

A number flashed on the screen without a name, but she recognized immediately that it belonged to Ricky.
