Chapter 319

Author: Cloud Drop
Rachel’s eyes fell on their hands—Archer’s fingers were long and slender, his knuckles clearly defined. On his ring finger, the silver band stood out starkly against his pale skin. She glanced down at Aria’s hand resting on her knee. She was wearing the exact same ring on her left middle finger.

Something tightened in Rachel’s chest.

Deep down, she still didn’t approve of this relationship.

Without any real status or support behind them now, who could say what kind of mistreatment Aria might face in the Duncan family? Would anyone stand up for her if she were wronged? Or would they all just think she was lucky to be marrying up—easy to overlook, easy to push around?

Rachel was about to speak when the doorbell rang.

She cast the two of them a quick look, then stood and went to answer it.

When she opened the door, an elderly woman stood outside, arms full of shopping bags. Rachel stared at her, trying to place the familiar face. It took her a few seconds to realize—was this… Arche

  • Second Marriage to the Billionaire: Ex-Husband Begs Me Not to Go   Chapter 324

    Marianne sniffled and took the phone from Grace with a doubtful look. Despite her age, she was surprisingly adept with technology—at least when it came to smartphones. She was even on social media herself, scrolling through updates every day.She swiped through the screen a few times, then stopped. Her face changed the moment she saw the files—documents that clearly showed Archer had orchestrated the downfall of the Jackson family’s company.Her tone turned sharp and low. “Where did you get this?”“Where else?” Grace replied, slipping the phone back into her purse once Marianne handed it over. “It’s not like I’ve got the resources to dig this up myself. He showed it to me last night. Before he left, I took a photo.”Marianne’s expression darkened further.Grace continued gently but firmly. “Even if no one says anything now, do you really think this can stay hidden forever? Sooner or later, Aria’s going to find out. And when she does—how is she supposed to keep living with him?”S

    “I might’ve dressed a little plainly today and skipped the makeup, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to act like I’m invisible,” Marianne huffed. “That woman—Kandice’s mother, I don’t even remember her name.”“Sandra Peterson,” Grace murmured beside her.Marianne waved a hand dismissively. “Sandra. Whatever. She bumped into a box of red wine the driver was carrying and completely lost it. Started ranting about how we had no manners. I mean, really—who’s the one with no manners here?”Her eyes flashed. “She must’ve thought I was just some random old lady she could walk all over. But if she knew who I really was? Please. With her snobby attitude, even if I shoved her down the stairs, she’d still smile and apologize for being in my way!”Then her tone sharpened.“Let me tell you something, Grace—you’re not going to force Archer to marry a woman he doesn’t love.“You know how he grew up. If you and Jonathan had been more present, he wouldn’t have suffered the way he did. And now

    Both Lily and the driver were caught completely off guard, their hands trembling slightly as they accepted the tea.Even Rachel couldn’t help glancing at Archer in surprise. She never imagined someone like him would serve others himself.It wasn’t a big gesture, but coming from Archer, it felt strangely humbling.The way his pale, slender fingers held the teapot—there was a certain grace to it.Marianne, meanwhile, waved off the idea of a starring role. “No need for anything too major. I’m not as young as I used to be—don’t have the stamina for long shoots. One or two scenes is perfect for me. I’ve got the skills; I don’t need screen time to shine.”Then, as if something suddenly struck her, she narrowed her eyes at her grandson. “Wait a minute—are you bribing me?”Archer didn’t deny it. He just smiled. “There’ll be more roles like this down the line.”Marianne was sure of it now—he was absolutely bribing her. And all for Aria.Well then. Her grandson was clearly all in.Jus

    “At first, I really wasn’t on board with the two of them,” Marianne admitted, her voice growing more animated. “But the more I thought about it, the more I realized—my grandson has clearly made up his mind about Aria. And all that gossip? It won’t last once they’re married. What really matters is that the kids are happy. Why should we let other people’s opinions ruin something so good?”Her face lit up as she began picturing the future. “They get married, and before long, I’ll be holding my first great-grandchild. You’ll have your first grandchild too, Rachel. Isn’t that something worth looking forward to? As long as we’re happy, who cares what outsiders say? Since when has listening to idle talk ever led to a good life? All it does is tear families apart. Why let a few baseless rumors steal our children’s chance at happiness?”The truth was, Archer finally finding someone he wanted to marry was a big deal. And yes, Aria had been married before—to Larry Spencer—but beyond that, she w

    Thinking back to what she’d said to Rachel earlier, Marianne figured there was nothing too harsh about it. She wasn’t worried Archer would take offense either.Across from her, Archer raised an eyebrow. He’d heard everything his grandmother had said just moments ago and could pretty much guess what she was trying to do. His lips curved slightly, softening the stern lines of his face.“I actually came here to talk to you about our wedding,” he said calmly, his voice deep and steady. His expression was serious, completely devoid of the smile he usually wore.Marianne: “…”Aria: “…”Rachel: “…”Even James was speechless.Honestly? Archer could be absolutely shameless sometimes.There had been no mention of a wedding before. But now that his grandmother had shown up—and was clearly on their side—he was suddenly pretending that this was all part of the plan.“I came to formally visit my future mother-in-law,” Archer added with a half-smile, glancing sideways at his grandmother. “Bu
