ログインShe simply hadn't found the right opportunity to settle the score with Yvonne."Yvonne? What are you doing here?"Aurora was the first to speak.Sometimes, the best approach was to seize the initiative and catch the other side off guard.At once, Yvonne put on an innocent expression."Miss Walton, I'm here today to apologize to you. I'm sure Lucas has already told you."Aurora turned to Lucas with a puzzled look.She wasn't blaming him. She simply had no idea what Yvonne was talking about.Besides, she understood exactly why Lucas hadn't told her.She was pregnant, and he was worried the stress would be too much for her. If the situation was even more complicated than she'd imagined, it meant far too many things had spiraled beyond anyone's expectations.She completely understood why Lucas had kept it from her.What she didn't understand was what had happened to make Yvonne say something like that."So, Lucas never told you."The knowing smile in Yvonne's voice made her intentions pain
"And besides, as long as that child comes from you, we'll be overjoyed. You're the only daughter-in-law the Carter family will ever recognize."I don't care who else comes along. The only grandchildren I'll ever acknowledge are yours."The pointed remark made Yvonne's face burn with embarrassment.How could she not sense Diana's hostility toward her?She couldn't understand it. Diana had always been courteous before, carrying herself with the grace expected of the matriarch of a prominent family.But now, perhaps because of everything Yvonne had done, she had truly angered her.Yvonne could clearly tell that Diana didn't even want to look at her.More than that, what Diana felt toward her was closer to resentment than simple dislike.The realization left Yvonne deeply uncomfortable.Just then, Edwin casually slipped his arm through hers."It's okay. You don't have to care what my mom thinks. She'll come to love you too."He spoke with complete confidence."As long as you're willing to
Michelle and Charles exchanged awkward glances.Neither had expected things to spiral this far.If Edwin was no longer a Carter, what value did he have to the Song family?If he married into their family without the Carter name behind him, he'd be useless.At that point, he'd be nothing more than dead weight.The disdain in their eyes was impossible to miss.Even Yvonne was less than pleased.She asked Edwin to come because she wanted his support.She never intended to spend the rest of her life with him.Otherwise, she would have accepted his pursuit back there without hesitation.If she had, she wouldn't have needed to fear Aurora anymore.Edwin had been pursuing her for so long that many already saw her as practically part of the Carter family. If she accepted him, she'd officially become a Carter, giving her far more leverage against Aurora.The thought both tempted and repelled her.She didn't want her future to become so predictable, as though the rest of her life had already bee
“What is wrong with you, Lucas? Are you heartless? Yvonne has already apologized to you. Don't you feel even the slightest bit sorry for her? Haven't you realized where you went wrong?“And besides, she's made herself perfectly clear. She wasn't trying to run away from any of this. Can't we at least give her a chance?“Everyone deserves the opportunity to make amends after making a mistake.”Edwin looked at Yvonne with sympathy before reaching out to gently pat her on the head."Yvonne, I know you've suffered a lot of unfair treatment. All I can do now is help you seek justice and make sure no one bullies you again."My request is simple. I just hope you'll grant me this one thing—stop putting yourself through this kind of humiliation."The moment those words fell, every member of the Carter family turned to look at Edwin.Philip, in particular, slammed the tip of his cane against the floor, glaring at him with undisguised fury."Edwin, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Are
“I mean it.”Yvonne looked straight at Lucas.“I never intended to run away from this. If I had, I never would have gotten in that car and come here in the first place.“You can ask my parents. They both know I'd already made up my mind on the way here. Once I've apologized to Miss Walton, I'll be leaving the country. I won't stay here and get in any of your way.”The moment Edwin heard those words, his heart sank.“Yvonne... are you lying to me? What are you talking about? I won't let you leave.”His tone was firm and unwavering.“Did I ever agree to let you go? We're not even together yet, and you're already talking about leaving. Don't you think that's incredibly unfair?“Yvonne, did you ever stop to ask what I wanted? Have you ever treated me like someone you actually cared about?”Until this moment, Edwin thought he had always been considerate of Yvonne's feelings.But now he realized there was an invisible wall between them.Even so, he still refused to give up.“But Lucas doesn'
Charles found himself completely unable to understand what Yvonne was thinking.Had she really fallen for Edwin?Yvonne herself looked both surprised and conflicted.“I... The most important thing right now is apologizing to Aurora. Can we talk about... everything else later?”She looked at Edwin with pleading eyes.How could she not see what he was doing?He had deliberately chosen this moment to corner her.She turned him down every time before, so now he picked the one moment when she couldn't easily refuse.The exchange left the Carter family visibly surprised.Philip was the first to speak.“Well now, Miss Song. Weren't you the one who insisted you would never marry my youngest son? “I still remember you saying, quite firmly, that the two of you should keep your distance, that you weren't right for each other, and forcing the relationship would only make both of you miserable. You're the one who said all that. I remember it perfectly.“Or have I reached the age where I'm blind, s
She saw Aurora as her best friend, and having a best friend that outstanding was something to be proud of.Why should she feel upset about it?That was what everyone always said—Megan had a big heart.If it were someone else, they probably would’ve been angry with Aurora or even cut ties long ago.B
Grace shook her head. "I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother before. How could I possibly rest now?"Hearing this, Arnold didn’t say anything more.He knew all too well—Aurora and Grace shared the exact same temperament.Once either of them set their mind on something, they would never
“If you keep going like this, you’ll lose sight of your path. You won’t even know what to do with your future. So remember, all your effort should be for yourself—never for anyone else.”As Arnold spoke, the confusion in young Aurora’s eyes slowly faded.He was right. She was living for herself.So,
She didn’t even know what to do anymore.After all, everything she had experienced was real.She couldn’t forgive the past on behalf of the one who had suffered.If little Aurora knew that the grown-up version of her forgave it all so easily, would that really be right?Aurora pressed her lips tight
