I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Kate said , " Dad , don't worry . Sawyer loves me and treats me so well . He won't just stand by and watch me get upset . He'll help you . " Connor believed that , too . He hadn't mentioned it before , but now that he was asking in person , as both Sawyer's father - in - law and mentor . How could Sawyer possibly say no ? If Sawyer did nothing , he would appear ungrateful ! Sawyer suddenly smiled . Just as Connor and Kate thought that he was about to agree , Sawyer turned to her and said , " You're right . I did overlook this . I didn't think it would trouble Connor that much .

After all , I've seen you spending time shopping for jewelry and going to fancy lunches with your friends lately . I assumed that everything had already been resolved . " Upon hearing that , Connor immediately turned to Kate . His expression was full of reproach and displeasure . He couldn't believe that he had been losing sleep every night and living in constant frustration because of that madwoman , while Kate was out dining and shopping like nothing was wrong . He had thought that Kate had been trying to persuade Sawyer to help him . It seemed that this was her idea of helping .

Sawyer calmly added , " Kate never mentioned it . I apologize , Connor . I didn't realize the situation was still ongoing . " " I ... " Kate scrambled to explain , " I was just- " " Don't you start ! " Connor's voice thundered through the room . " Don't try that smooth - talking act you use on outsiders with me ! You're always twisting words and avoiding the point ! You'll say anything to make yourself look innocent , won't you ? I'm your father ! Your only parent ! And you don't care about me at all ? How selfish can you be ?

" If she really cared , she would have talked to Sawyer every day until he helped . " If the Ravelles heard about this , they'd die laughing ! A while ago , Ruby wasn't feeling well , and George sent a helicopter in the middle of the night to fly in top medical experts to the Ravelle residence ! " And when Rhea's third uncle got caught in a hospital scandal , George personally handled it . Those troublemakers disappeared the next day like they never existed ! That's what it means to help ! That's what a real family does !

" Hearing Connor compare her and Sawyer to Rhea and George made that buried thorn in Kate's heart ache all over again . How dare he compare them like that ! Sawyer was just as capable ! There was no way he was inferior to George ! 1/2 Connor left before finishing his meal . He was clearly furious . After he was gone , Kate set her cutlery down too . Her expression was dark and cold . Sawyer , on the other hand , kept eating at his own pace . Since Kate wasn't speaking, he kept silent too . He simply asked the maid to bring him his digital tablet .

As he ate , he scrolled through international news , looking like he had quite an appetite . And why wouldn't that be the case ? After all , it was the first time he had seen Connor and Kate tear into each other like that . He found it delightful . Frowning , Kate crossed her arms . " Sawyer , what are you trying to do ? " She was questioning him for the first time . Sawyer looked up , puzzled . " What do you mean ? " " My dad just stormed out , and you didn't even stop him . You should've promised him to help him take care of Sylvia . He's my dad .

As his family , it's our duty to support and protect him . " Kate was clearly angry now . She felt that Sawyer wasn't putting enough effort into this . She thought that if he truly cared about her , he should have stepped in and dealt with Sylvia . " I think it's better if I stay out of it , " Sawyer said , setting down his cutlery and wiping his mouth with a napkin . Kate frowned . " Why ? " " Because the case is still open . What if the accusations turn out to be true ? Once it's made public , people will say that we're covering for Connor .

How are we supposed to keep our footing in Draventh after that ?" Sawyer replied .
