Chapter 419

Author: Love Berries
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,

    But Tessa was different.Because of her weak health, Grace always gave her extra care.No matter what Aurora went through, Grace never seemed to worry.All she ever cared about was Tessa’s condition, and thinking about that made Aurora’s chest tighten with hurt.All these years, she had kept those feelings buried deep inside.She had never planned to tell her mother any of this.But then she remembered what Arnold said at the door, and she wondered why she should keep swallowing everything.“So, Mom… do you see me as your daughter?”Grace froze on the spot.“What nonsense are you talking about?”She shot up in panic.“When have I ever not treated you as my daughter? Are you trying to make fun of me right now?”“Then why, all those years growing up, did you pour everything into Tessa and leave no room for me at all?”Aurora couldn’t stop herself from voicing the accusations she had held in for so many years.She had never dared say anything like this before.Because she had always known

    And because of that, Grace felt the whole situation was unreal. She assumed Aurora must have come with an agenda or that something else had happened.Aurora drew in a steadying breath.After calming herself, she looked at Grace with complete seriousness. “Mom, what I’m about to say might overturn everything you believe, but every word is true.“So, are you willing to believe me?”She held Grace’s hand as she spoke, her expression unwavering.Seeing her like this made Grace’s heart tighten; she suddenly felt unprepared.Since when did her daughter ever look this solemn?No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure it out.“What do you mean?”Grace’s voice carried a hint of fear. “Don’t tell me… you didn’t get involved in something illegal, did you?”“How could I ever do something like that?”Aurora immediately denied it and steered the conversation toward Tessa.“Mom, haven’t you noticed that Tessa’s been acting strange lately?”“Has she?”Grace didn’t understand what Aurora

    If anyone found out, wouldn’t they look down on her and the company?Her reputation represented the company’s reputation, even its stock value.She didn’t mind shouldering the blame herself—whether Aurora misunderstood her or people accused her of being too strict a mother.None of that mattered to her because behind her stood an entire corporation.If people looked down on her, they would look down on the company as well.But Aurora easily caught the way Grace’s gaze kept dodging.And it was rare to hear Grace stumble so much over her words.Thinking about what Arnold had said at the door, Aurora suddenly realized how many details she had ignored all these years.No matter how capable Grace was, she was still just one woman.She, too, must have wanted someone she could lean on but her husband passed away early, and in the end, it was Grace alone holding this family together.If she hadn’t fought so hard for them, who knew where Aurora would have ended up.“Mom, I’m sorry. I was the on

    Aurora stepped inside and immediately spotted Grace sitting on the living room sofa, watching TV.Even from the side, she could clearly see how thin her mother’s face had become. The once full cheeks were now slightly sunken.Her brows tightened at the sight.It had only been a few months—how had her mother deteriorated this much?Her health had been fine before, yet now she looked frail and visibly worn down.A sour ache rose in Aurora’s chest, warmth stinging at the corners of her eyes.She quietly walked toward her mother.Grace, however, was entirely absorbed in the television, her expression blank.In truth, she couldn’t even say what the show was about.She was only watching because the house felt too empty and quiet.She wanted a bit of noise—some sign of life around her.Otherwise, living alone in such a big house felt unbearably lonely.Sensing someone standing beside her, she turned—her right-side vision completely blocked.For a moment, she assumed it was Tessa coming home.

    “But even if I want to make peace, will Mom really forgive me?”Aurora had always carried that knot in her heart.“Besides, she’s always treated us differently, Mr. Lee, you know that better than anyone.”Aurora let out a self-mocking laugh. “So much time has passed, and I’ve already gotten used to it. Our relationship has always been like this.”“But deep down, you still care about her, don’t you?”Arnold looked at her seriously, cutting straight through the thoughts she didn’t say out loud.“The moment you walked in, you asked about Madam Grace’s health. That alone proves how much you still care.”He couldn’t help letting out a small laugh.“See? You’re both so stubborn. Why not just talk things out?”“Can I really do that?”Aurora glanced at her palms, unsure and hesitant.“Of course you can. As long as you’re willing to try.”Arnold guided her gently, the way an elder would coax a child into facing her own heart.“To be honest, you and your mother are very much alike. You’re both s

    Why did Tessa get to have both money and so much of Grace’s love?Thinking of that, Aurora couldn’t help feeling unbalanced inside.But then Lucas’ face flashed through her mind, and she reminded herself that she now had what she deserved.Even though no one truly treated her well when she was a child, at least now there were people by her side who really loved her.Lucas was the one who loved her the most.Aside from Lucas, she also had the best friend who had stayed with her since they were little.These two were the most important people in her life.If her mother was willing to turn back and really listen to her, Aurora would be willing to think about making peace with her.When Aurora stepped into the courtyard, the butler looked genuinely stunned.“Miss Aurora, what brings you back?”“Mr. Lee, I’m here to see my mom.”They had not seen each other for so long, and when he heard Aurora still remembered him, Arnold’s eyes instantly filled with tears.“Oh, Miss Aurora.”He quietly li
