Chapter 406

Author: Love Berries
He knew Aurora meant no harm, but right now, she was drowning in her own guilt, completely unreachable, no matter what anyone said.

Leonard stood nearby, quietly keeping her company.

It was the first time he’d seen her like this…

“Aurora, it’s not your fault,” Lucas said gently, his voice low and patient. “I know you didn’t mean for any of this to happen. You’d never hurt her, right?”

But Aurora was lost in her thoughts, too wrapped up in emotion to respond.

Her gaze, sharp and unwavering, was fixed through the glass panel of the hospital room door—locked on the fragile figure lying in the bed.

Her mother, usually so fierce, so unshakably strong, now looked like a broken porcelain doll, quiet and motionless beneath the sterile white sheets.

"Mom… you’ve always been so forceful, so unyielding. Why aren’t you lecturing me now?

"Come on, get up and scold me like you always do. I promise, this time I won’t talk back."

Tears welled in her eyes, the corners reddened as emotion burned throug

    That guy—he wasn’t even as good-looking as Julian, was he?With that thought, Tessa’s gaze toward Julian softened noticeably.She took his hand and guided it to her waist. “Alright, I’m here now, aren’t I? All yours.”Julian’s eyes followed her every move, the message in her actions far from subtle, and he understood it perfectly.His gaze darkened.He was a man in his prime—how could he possibly resist such open temptation?Especially when he did, in fact, like Tessa.The thought alone stirred something in him, and his grip on her waist grew firmer.Tessa gasped softly, their bodies pressed close.Julian pulled her into a deeper kiss, trailing lower with increasing urgency.Tessa could feel his desire, his possessiveness—it pleased her.In her mind, that was what sustained a relationship. If a man had no desire for her, how could any feelings last?She had no doubts about her own allure.But then her thoughts drifted to what she’d seen at the restaurant that day.This visit—she’d com

    "What else can we do? Your son’s the one fooling around. Can’t he use his brain for once?" Albert rolled his eyes at her, and the two of them started bickering right then and there."Enough with the pointless talk. Go help your son deal with that woman already," Albert snapped, clearly fed up as he glared at Carol. He still couldn't understand how he ended up with a son like that.Seeing her husband so worked up, Carol found herself growing resentful toward Tessa. If it weren’t for her unexpected visit, would any of this chaos have happened? There had been no need for it at all.If she’d just stayed in line and played her role beside Julian, none of this would’ve spiraled.Carol muttered under her breath, "What rotten luck… she’s a walking curse."Hearing that only made Albert more irritable."Oh, give it a rest. This is your son’s mess, and you’re still trying to blame someone else?""After all that talk, we’re still the ones who have to clean up after him, aren’t we?"Albert led th

    All she needed to do now was support her mother and help build Walton Corporation into something stronger.What she aimed for was far beyond where things currently stood.Grace could see the change. Compared to before, Aurora had made tremendous progress. That once-stubborn streak was gone, replaced by poise and maturity.“Good. Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease,” Grace said with a sigh of relief. “Right now, I only hope your sister can come to her senses. That’s all I wish for.”“She will, Mom. Don’t worry.”Aurora lowered her gaze, choosing not to continue down that line of conversation. If they kept talking about it, there’d be no end to it.Besides, no matter what conclusions she and Grace came to, it still depended on how Tessa chose to respond.…At that moment, Tessa had returned home and made it clear to herself—she wasn’t going to bother with her mother anymore.Grace had shown no signs of waking when she was there. But after Aurora and the others showed up, she su

    Grace couldn’t bear for things to stay this tense between her daughters. If this continued, what would happen to the company in the future?Just thinking about it made her feel uneasy. No matter what, she couldn’t let things deteriorate like this between her girls.“I just think... maybe your sister’s been going through something lately. That’s probably why she’s been saying such harsh things.”Grace paused, trying to choose her words carefully. “Don’t be too angry with her. You know how she is—she's always been like that. Haven’t you spent enough time with her to understand her temperament by now?”“Mom!”Aurora couldn’t hold back any longer, cutting her off before she could continue.Grace still wanted to speak, but Aurora didn’t want to hear it anymore.“I know what you’re trying to say,” she sighed. “And that’s exactly the problem. It’s because I’ve known her for so long that I know all too well what kind of person she is.”“Please don’t try to persuade me anymore. There’s no po

    Grace’s attitude toward her had changed drastically, so much so that it felt like she was facing an entirely different person.This time, Aurora was determined not to let the opportunity slip away. She had to hold on tight and make sure things didn’t end up the way they had before.Grace glanced at Aurora, who now seemed a little more obedient than before. There were things she wanted to say, but the words stuck in her throat. Some things and people were best left to be changed by time.But the matter with Tessa...Just as she opened her mouth, Grace noticed Lucas and Leonard standing nearby. Her gaze dimmed, and in the end, she said nothing.After all, there were outsiders in the room.Tessa was the daughter she had raised from childhood. No matter what had happened, she didn’t want to discuss such things in front of others. What if it affected Aurora’s emotions?Aurora caught on quickly, following her mother’s line of sight toward Lucas and Leonard.Lucas and Leonard exchanged a

    In the end, it was Grace's quiet sobs that pulled everyone back to reality.Aurora lowered her head slightly, her voice laced with disbelief. “Mom, what’s wrong?”“Both of you are my children. Of course, I feel heartache,” Grace said softly, a trace of sorrow in her tone. “I watched her grow up. Now she says she’s leaving, just like that—how could I not be upset?”Seeing her mother so full of guilt and sadness, Aurora felt a wave of discomfort in her chest.Even if things between her and Tessa had grown tense, eventually, all of this would reach her father’s ears anyway.That thought stirred a quiet defiance in Aurora. After all, back then, she’d hidden it so well, only for it all to unravel when she’d fallen down that slope. Looking at it now, she supposed she finally understood the reason.Grace glanced at Lucas, then at Leonard, a bit embarrassed as she said, “You’ve all stayed with me for so long. If it’s too much, maybe you should go home first.”Leonard had just opened his mou
