CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 370: MASTER NATE IS GETTING MARRIED TO THAT GIRL

Mr. Bellamy, who was always not good with words, also came over, "Joy has always said she wants to marry you. Her mother and I initially disagreed. You’re living off our family now, and Joy takes care of you every day. We thought marrying you would only make her suffer, but with this situation, we have no choice but to agree."

Landon Sutton said coldly, "Have you asked me if I agree?"

Mrs. Bellamy said aggressively, "You? What do you count for? When you did those disgusting things to my daughter, why didn’t you ask us if we agreed?!"

Joel Bellamy secretly tugged at his mom, indicating her to speak a bit more politely.

Mrs. Bellamy was too angry to calm down, "We shouldn’t have saved you back then! Without you, we wouldn’t have all this mess!"

Joel Bellamy: "Mom! Stop talking!"

Mrs. Bellamy turned and scolded Joel Bellamy, "You’ve been spoiled rotten! All these years of raising you have been in vain! Later, I’ll go with you to find the village chief to arrange the banquet quickly. I can’t afford to lose face over this."

Joel Bellamy’s parents were afraid that Landon Sutton would leave, so they found a lock and locked him in the room.

Landon Sutton lay on the bed, looking at the rain outside that hadn’t stopped. He ignored the vibrating phone beside him, only smoking one cigarette after another until the box was completely empty...

The rain kept pouring relentlessly. Shannon Quinn stared gloomily at the unsent call.

Ever since that call last night ended, she couldn’t reach him.

Whenever she dialed, there was a shutdown prompt, and she kept deceiving herself, making excuses for him, like his phone had run out of battery, instead of not wanting to take her calls anymore.

"Sis-in-law! Did you hear?" Ronan Rhodes came rushing, breathless, after returning from buying groceries.

Sitting in the pavilion, Shannon Quinn lazily glanced at Ronan Rhodes, feeling listless.

"Master Nate..." Ronan Rhodes gasped, "Master Nate and that girl are getting married!"

"What?" Shannon Quinn exclaimed in shock, standing up abruptly, "Who did you hear this from?"

Ronan Rhodes: "I just heard local people talking while I was buying groceries."

Shannon Quinn shook her head in disbelief, forcing herself to calm down and said, "Impossible... it must be Joel Bellamy deliberately spreading the news."

Ronan Rhodes pursed his lips and hesitantly said, "I think it’s true. In this village, you can’t joke about such big matters as marriage. If it goes wrong, they’ll have no face left to continue living here. Even if that girl is crazy, she wouldn’t stir up such a big mess. I heard they are preparing for the banquet this afternoon."

Shannon Quinn grabbed the still dripping umbrella from Ronan Rhodes’s hand, opened it, and headed out of the pavilion, saying, "I need to go find him and ask!"

"Sis-in-law!" Ronan Rhodes called out, dropping the groceries to chase her, "Sis-in-law, slow down!"

Shannon Quinn could no longer keep calm, her steps up the mountain were somewhat chaotic.

The road up the hill was slippery after rain, and she had hastily rushed out, wearing only flip-flops, which made walking difficult, so she took them off and walked barefoot.

Ronan Rhodes understood how much this matter impacted Shannon Quinn, so he no longer tried to persuade her to be calm and wait at home for developments.

He closely followed her, carefully supporting her when the road was difficult.

Resting for a few seconds when exhausted, then continuing forward.

From that phone call last night, Shannon Quinn felt something was off.

She thought it was just Landon Sutton experiencing an emotional upheaval due to amnesia. Never had she thought he would marry Joel Bellamy.

Marriage in the village is different from outside. It doesn’t require procedures, just parental consent, and a banquet is considered a marriage.

Joel Bellamy guarded outside Landon Sutton’s door, occasionally peeking through the crack to see the inside situation.

Every time she looked, he was just sitting there motionlessly, turning his head to look outside, uncertain of what he was thinking.

Seeing her plan was about to succeed, she didn’t want cooked duck to fly away at the last moment. She had to keep an eye on him.

"Bang bang——"

The knocking sound broke through the rain noise. Joel Bellamy glanced toward the living room, thinking her parents had returned, joyfully ran over to open the door.

"Why is it you?! What are you doing here?"

Seeing Shannon Quinn outside, the smile in Joel Bellamy’s eyes instantly turned hostile.

At this moment, Shannon Quinn looked a bit forlorn.

Her bare feet were covered in mud, clinging bits of withered grass, and her instep had a cut, bleeding lightly.

The hem of her white dress was dirty with mud, and though she had an umbrella, she was still soaked by rain.

She was unlike her usual graceful and gentle self.

Speaking, her voice and body trembled, "Where is he? Can he meet me?"

Landon Sutton inside heard Shannon Quinn’s voice, yet it didn’t stir much emotion.

Rather, he felt weary from such suspicion and deception, disengaging from anyone, unwilling to get involved.

Now, he didn’t want to see anyone, didn’t want to explain anything.

Maybe it was selfish, but he didn’t want to deal with anything, avoiding entanglement in these disputes.

Hearing Joel Bellamy and Shannon Quinn’s dialogue, Landon Sutton had no intention to meet Shannon Quinn. Instead, leveraging Shannon Quinn for cover, he picked up the backpack from the bedside, opened the window, and flipped out...

"I said I wouldn’t let you see her, hurry up and get lost!" Joel Bellamy shoved Shannon Quinn, preventing her from just barging inside.

Ronan Rhodes stood behind Shannon Quinn, supporting her, unable to tolerate Joel Bellamy’s attitude, "Do you know what status Master Nate holds? If my sis-in-law didn’t want to make this big, none of you in the village would have peace!"

Joel Bellamy wasn’t afraid, "Marriage is about mutual consent. How do you have any right to interfere?"

Shannon Quinn seemed to have lost strength, looking weak and pale, speaking in a tearful voice, pleading Joel Bellamy, "Let him come out, I just want to say a few words, will you?"

Joel Bellamy remained in the doorway, "I said no means no! If you make trouble again, I won’t be polite!"

Ronan Rhodes was annoyed to the point of almost hitting Joel Bellamy if she weren’t a girl.

Shannon Quinn’s emotions swung wildly, insisting on meeting Landon Sutton.

At this moment, Joel Bellamy’s parents and relatives returned, intending to celebrate, but instead saw Joel Bellamy arguing with two strangers at the entrance.

Ronan Rhodes appeared aggressive, unknown to the situation, making it seem like Ronan Rhodes was looking for trouble with Joel Bellamy.

Joel Bellamy reacted quickly upon seeing her family arrive, immediately yelling towards them, "Dad, they’re causing trouble and bullying me!"

The relatives, a group of a dozen, upon hearing Joel Bellamy yell, each picked up sticks nearby, with Mr. Bellamy leading, questioning Ronan Rhodes, "What are you trying to do?!"
