Dumped Today Married Tomorrow: My Overnight Wedding to a Tycoon novel Chapter 248

Lancey Carter was pacing back and forth in Cassian and Ana’s living room, anxiously waiting

“Daughter–in–law,” Ian Rhodes called out.

Lancey stopped and looked at him. “Dad, it’s getting late. You should go home and get some rest.

Ian shook his head. “How can I possibly sleep at a time like this?”

Lancey paused. She felt exactly the same way, so she didn’t push the old man any further.

Just then, they heard the sound of someone entering the security code at the front door.

Ian and Lancey exchanged hopeful glances, their eyes lighting up as they looked toward the entrance.

Heavy footsteps echoed through the hallway, and Richard Rhodes appeared in the doorway, looking rushed.

“Dad, honey, why are you guys still up?”

The disappointment was clear in both Lancey and Ian’s eyes when they realized it was just Richard.

Richard awkwardly scratched his nose. Apparently, he wasn’t exactly the person they were hoping to see tonight.

“I heard about Ana’s situation and flew back immediately. How are things now?”

“Did Thomas or Gilbert call you?” Ian’s expression darkened.

“Thomas did. He wanted me to talk Cassian out of going after the Donovans.”

“So that’s why you’re here? To try and stop him?” Lancey’s face scrunched up in frustration as she glared at Richard.

Those two brothers had already pissed her off enough, and now Richard had rushed back from his business trip just to join their little intervention?

Richard scratched his nose again, wondering what the hell he’d done to make both his wife and father look at him like he was garbage.

“Why would I want to stop him? Ana’s family now. When family’s in trouble, you don’t run away–you step up.”

He paused, then added, “I already chewed those two idiots out over the phone.”

That seemed to improve his wife and father’s mood considerably.

Just then, they heard footsteps at the door again, and Cassian walked in carrying Ana.

Ana hadn’t expected everyone to still be awake. The moment she entered, she found herself face–to–face with the whole family in an awkward staring

contest.

“Put me down,” she whispered urgently.

“Oh no, don’t worry about it! It’s late anyway–we were just heading home,” Lancey said quickly, relief flooding her voice now that Ana was back safe. “You two go get some rest.”

Ana’s cheeks turned pink with embarrassment. “Grandpa, Mom, Dad, you don’t have to rush off. You can just stay here tonight if you want.”

“No, no, we’re so close by. It’s really no trouble at all.”

Lancey shot meaningful looks at Richard and Ian, and they took the hint, following her toward the door.

In Lancey’s mind, this was Cassian and Ana’s love nest, and having the older generation hanging around would just make the young couple feel

awkward.

Chapter 248

Truth was, Ana genuinely didn’t mind having them stay- the really meant the invitation

Watching them leave, Ana actually felt a little guilty.

Cassian gently set Ana down. “I’ll run you a bath”

“Okay.”

Ana suddenly thought of something and grabbed Cassian’s hand. “I’m sorry,”

In the car earlier, she’d been so exhausted that she’d fallen asleep in his arms. Now that she finally had some energy back, she could properly apologize.
