MasukLife was simply unpredictable and beyond calculation.Nothing was ever certain, and no one could foresee what would come next.If a person insisted on fixating on it, with life spanning barely thirty thousand days, it only meant living in constant exhaustion.After thinking it through, Charles became noticeably more open-minded than before.“Let’s go. Time waits for no one.”Hearing this, Michelle and Yvonne exchanged a glance.They had not expected Charles, who had always been the one opposing things, to become so straightforward all of a sudden.His words were direct and decisive.Unexpectedly, he was even more proactive than they were.By the time they walked in, Yvonne had already put on her practiced smile.But the moment she saw who was inside, that smile stiffened.“Why are you here?”The words slipped out before she could stop herself.Hearing this, Aurora and Lucas exchanged a look, both finding her reaction somewhat amusing.Before Aurora could speak, Diana spoke up sharply.
In the past, she always thought her parents did not love her.Now she realized it was only because the way they expressed love was too restrained.That was what led to all these misunderstandings.If she had noticed it earlier, would her relationship with her parents have been even better?Yvonne pressed her lips together, unable to describe what she felt.Because she knew very well that there were no what-ifs.What mattered more now was cherishing the people in front of her.Only the present was real.If someone kept living in the past, they would never be able to move forward.With that thought, a gentle smile appeared on Yvonne’s face.…After settling in and arriving at the Carter residence, they noticed a familiar car parked at the entrance.At the time, Yvonne simply stayed alert but did not think too much of it.“Dad, Mom, are you ready?”Yvonne glanced over at her parents.There was no expression on either of their faces.When Yvonne asked, they responded earnestly.“Of course
“Yvonne, at a time like this, what are you making a fuss about now?”“Don’t you want to dissolve the agreement between the two of you?”“I’m not making a fuss!”Yvonne shot back loudly.“I know you’ve both worried yourselves sick over my situation. I know I’ve been immature. I just feel awful inside, alright?”As she spoke, her eyes were already tinged red.She had never meant to become a burden to the family.Everything had just happened too suddenly.If Edwin had not existed, things would never have deteriorated to this point between her and her family.Thinking about it, Yvonne found herself at a loss for words.Michelle spoke earnestly, “My child, we’ve never blamed you. Whatever happens, shouldn’t our family face it together?“If you keep ignoring us like this, your father and I are the ones who get hurt the most.”Hearing that, Yvonne’s heart skipped.Before Michelle said this, had she been misunderstanding her parents all along?She thought she had dragged the family down.Would
That had always been what she thought. She never wanted to give up Grace.Tessa only hoped that Grace would give all her affection to her.She was also worried that if her identity were exposed, Grace would no longer like her.When that time came, where would she go?It was precisely because of this that she had boarded Sean’s ship.But now, there was no turning back.If she did not listen to Sean, what would she do afterward?Tessa took a deep breath.“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”Hearing this, Sean smiled even more broadly.“That’s more like it. That’s my good daughter.”Tessa pressed her lips together and said nothing.She knew that if she argued with Sean now, it would only make him more displeased.Sometimes, it was better to go along with what the other person wanted.Otherwise, the consequences of resisting were all too clear.Tessa felt she should not ruin her future over something like this.Her life ahead could not be confined to this narrow space.…At the same time, Yvonne
“I know what’s going on. But what use is it for you to yell at me now?”“I…”After Sean said that, Tessa was left momentarily speechless.Because she felt he was not entirely wrong.If things had truly reached this point, the two of them tearing into each other here would achieve nothing.It would only damage the relationship between father and daughter.With that thought, Tessa did not know what else to say.Sean let out a sigh as well.A glint flashed through his eyes.He suddenly realized there was still a way to make use of Tessa.If he pushed her out now, the burden would fall on him alone.That was something Sean would never agree to.“Tessa, I’m your biological father. How could I ever harm you?”Hearing this, Tessa’s first reaction was disbelief.In her eyes, she was no better than an outsider to him.Even after Sean acknowledged her, all he ever did was scheme to seize Grace’s company.Beyond that, Tessa could not see any other motive.With that thought, she did not know what
“Shut up.”Sean was already in a foul mood.With Tessa bringing it up again and again, it only made him feel worse.In Sean’s mind, Grace would never betray him.He had always believed Grace stood on his side and would never fuss over such matters.Yet now, Grace had struck even harder.Her move left Sean utterly humiliated.When Tessa heard Sean shout at her like that, she froze on the spot.“Dad, what do you mean by that?”Back then, they had agreed that even if they got the company, they would not turn on each other.Yet this was barely the beginning, and she was already being treated this way.The thought sent a chill through Tessa.It seemed Sean was not someone she could trust after all.And even if she trusted him, he had never truly taken her seriously.“I already know what’s going on, and you keep hammering it in again and again. Do you think I wouldn’t be irritated?”Sean looked at Tessa with undisguised disdain.To him, Tessa now seemed utterly brainless.If only his daughte
