Chapter 411

Author: Love Berries
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

    “Of course it’s true!” Julian held up his hand, swearing as if sealing a vow. “Really, Tessa. After everything that happened today, I realized that I care about you even more. I can’t imagine being without you.“I want a life with you. I’m not joking.”Sitting in the driver’s seat, Tessa looked at how serious he was, and in the end, she was moved.“Alright. I hear you. I’ll talk to my mother when I get home,” she said sincerely.And she meant it.Even though she’d argued with Aurora, and she deeply resented Grace’s favoritism, when it came to something as important as marriage, Tessa still wanted her mother’s blessing. She wanted this union witnessed and acknowledged, not just by her, but by both families.Marriage wasn’t just between two people. It was a merging of lives, families, names.And in matters like that, Tessa remained traditional at heart.Julian felt a flicker of frustration.He’d hoped for a firm yes, but seeing that he had at least softened her stance, he took it as a

    Carol couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Honestly, not rushing into marriage might be for the best. As far as she could tell, Tessa was no pushover—definitely not an easy one to manage.If she really did marry in, who knew how much drama she’d bring into this house?Carol was getting older. She didn’t have the patience or the energy for that kind of chaos.But the moment Albert heard her say that, his temper flared.“What’s that supposed to mean? Is he my son alone now?”Carol widened her eyes. “Don’t twist my words. That’s not what I said, you’re the one who keeps putting words in my mouth.”Albert was practically pacing by now, his frustration boiling over. “You think I pushed this marriage for fun? I’m doing this for our family!“Do you have any idea how bad things are with the company right now?“At this rate, when the business folds, who’s going to play host with your friends? Who’ll play poker with your social circle, huh? You’re living in comfort and don’t even realize it.”With

    Carol chimed in with a soft smile, her tone coaxing, “Tessa, didn’t you say you loved these ribs? When you marry into the family, you can have them every day.”She wore the gentlest, most motherly expression she could manage—her signature charm when she wanted to win someone over.At first, Tessa felt a flicker of warmth, even moved by the sentiment.But the moment those words landed, she glanced around the table and noticed the way everyone was looking at her.Their eyes weren’t just warm; they were hopeful, as if they were all silently begging her to say yes, to seal the deal and marry into the family.And that made something in her chest tighten.She hadn’t even answered Julian’s earlier question yet.With a composed expression, Tessa spoke clearly, her tone serious. “I understand that you all want me to marry into the family. But I’ve said it before—this isn’t a decision I can make on my own. I still have to talk to my mother.“If I give you a verbal promise here today, and my moth

    On the surface, the family dinner looked warm and harmonious.Julian remained attentive, picking out all of Tessa’s favorite dishes and placing them in her plate with care. Albert and Carol made occasional lighthearted comments, their tone teasing but amiable. To the housekeeper watching from the side, this was as good as it got.Whatever had happened earlier, maybe she was better off pretending she hadn’t heard or seen a thing. It wasn’t her business, after all. As long as it didn’t fall on her shoulders, she’d keep her head down and focus on doing her job well.With that thought, she busied herself even more diligently. If she stayed out of trouble, everything would be just fine.Tessa, too, was affected by the lighthearted atmosphere. She found herself laughing along, slowly relaxing. She’d been worried earlier—after all, they’d spent an entire afternoon upstairs, and she had no idea what Albert and Carol would think of her because of it.But now, judging from their attitude,

    By then, even if Grace wanted to change her stance, it would be too late. With everyone watching, backtracking would be nearly impossible.Tessa and Julian were in perfect sync.Since the moment she arrived that afternoon, they hadn’t left the room once.Tessa couldn’t help but feel a bit absurd about it all.She nudged Julian off her gently. “Alright, seriously, look at the time. Your parents are going to think I have no manners.”“They won’t,” Julian replied, his eyes glinting. In fact, he suspected his parents would rather he keep Tessa upstairs even longer, anything to keep her occupied and close.But Tessa wasn’t so comfortable with the idea. She propped herself up, ready to get up. “Enough for today. This has already been ridiculous.”Her body ached, especially her waist, sore and bruised as if she’d been run over. Her skin, always delicate, was now covered in marks from Julian’s less-than-gentle grip. The bruises stood out starkly, leaving her both pained and startled.Julia

    "Then tell me, what exactly do you mean by wasting time?" Tessa countered."Are you saying that sitting here talking to me is a waste of time?"Julian opened his mouth to argue, but nothing came out.“It’s just… a night like this, it’s worth more than gold…” he muttered, voice growing smaller by the second.He wasn’t sure why, but something about Tessa tonight felt especially intense, like she’d come here with a purpose, and that purpose had everything to do with him.And he wasn’t wrong.That was exactly why Tessa was here.A night of passion? What a joke.Under her sharp gaze, Julian finally gave in, confessing obediently, “Alright, fine. That day… I only had a meal with her. That’s it. Nothing more happened.”Eager to prove his loyalty, he lifted his right hand as if swearing an oath. “Tessa, you have to believe me. Nothing happened, I swear.“I was only being polite to Aurora out of respect for you. Without you, she wouldn’t mean a damn thing to me!”In an effort to reassure her, J
