His grip softened, his brows eased, and he gently rubbed her soft hand. “What do you want for lunch?”

“Are you hungry? If it’s not urgent, let’s go home and eat. I’ll cook for you.” Aria looked at his elegant profile. He was a man carved from a painting—refined and handsome—yet he kept humbling himself for her. That made her want to treat him even better.

She didn’t have many ways to repay him, but whatever she could do, she would.

“You really like cooking for me now,” Archer said with a quiet smile.

His normally sharp features softened with that rare smile. The cool edge in his expression melted away like morning fog, revealing something calm and radiant.

She blushed but didn’t look away. Instead, she smiled and admitted it without hesitation. “I do.”

He suddenly tightened his hold on her hand. She always found a way to surprise him like this, making his mood soar. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it again and again.

“Then let’s go home,” he said simply.

    “Enough! I’m talking to my son!” Lillian snapped, clearly irritated as her attention swung back to the call. “What is it?”“Mom, it’s not that I’m ignoring you. We came to the Duncan house first because Old Mr. and Mrs. Duncan are both still here. Out of respect, it’s only right we visit them first,” Mark explained patiently.“Well, now you’ve said your hellos, so come home for dinner,” Lillian shot back. “I went to the supermarket and bought all kinds of ingredients when I heard you were coming back. I’ve been cooking all afternoon. And now you tell me you’re not coming? What am I supposed to do with all that food?”“Mom, I told you earlier we’d come to the Duncans first, have a meal with them, and then head home. You’re the one who—” Mark trailed off, realizing it was pointless.“I’m the one who what?” Lillian’s voice rose sharply. “Is it so wrong for a mother to want her son and daughter-in-law to come home for a meal?”Then came the familiar sound of sniffling on the other end

    Aria couldn’t say a word. She just leaned into Archer’s chest and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck—just like how he’d always held her so tightly.Archer lowered his head into the crook of her neck, breathing in the scent of her hair. He kept planting soft, scattered kisses on the delicate skin there, his lips brushing through the strands as he moved.Neither of them knew how long they stayed like that, wrapped up in each other, until a polite little cough broke the silence from the far end of the hallway.“Ahem!”It was Marianne’s voice.Aria wasn’t scared, but she was absolutely mortified. Her face flushed a deep red, and she quickly pulled away from Archer’s arms.Archer, on the other hand, looked completely unbothered—as calm and composed as ever. His strong arm stayed looped around her waist, not letting her step too far away.“I was just looking for Melvin,” Marianne said from the end of the corridor, standing where she was without coming any closer. “It’s almost ti

    Aria felt Archer’s grip on her hand tighten. It wasn’t aggressive, but firm—full of determination.“I’m not just marrying her,” Archer said, his voice calm but unwavering. “I’m giving her a full wedding. A big, beautiful one. Because that’s what she deserves. I won’t compromise just to make things easier. I won’t let her be wronged. She didn’t do anything wrong, and she shouldn’t have to be treated like she did.”As he spoke, Robert’s face grew redder and redder. Maybe it was from anger. Maybe it was his blood pressure. Either way, Archer didn’t stop.Even though Robert never said the word “get out,” his expression made it clear that’s exactly what he wanted to say.Archer didn’t wait for him to spit out the insult. He turned and walked out of the study with Aria without a backward glance.The hallway leading back to the living room was long. After a few steps, Aria couldn’t hold it in any longer and tugged gently at his hand.He stopped and looked down at her. His tall frame sto

    Yvonne opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, but in the end, all she managed was, “I’ll go talk to her.”With that, she lowered her head and headed upstairs.Mark stood up too, wearing a mild, apologetic expression. “Grandpa, Grandma—I’ll go check on her.”Marianne waved her hand wearily. “Go ahead.”Robert sat in silence for a moment, then stood. “You two—come with me.”Aria looked at Archer, unsure, but he gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. Without saying a word, he led her as they followed Robert into the study.Grace watched the whole scene and could only shake her head. Even in a moment like this, Archer couldn’t bear to let go of Aria’s hand. There was nothing she could do.“Close the door,” Robert ordered gruffly, and before he could finish the sentence, Aria had already shut it behind them.Before speaking, Robert reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. He took one out, but before he could light it, Archer’s calm voice cut through the silence.

    Fifi’s expression darkened. She’d only gone away on her honeymoon for a short while—how had things changed so drastically? Since when did the whole family just accept Aria?Without thinking, she blurted out, “Auntie, Uncle—why is she allowed to just show up at our house like it’s no big deal? You’re really okay with this? Don’t you care that the Duncan family’s being mocked because of her background?”“Watch your mouth,” Marianne snapped, her face instantly cold. “Don’t think I don’t know why you’re so against her. You’re already married to Mark—stop being so paranoid. If your marriage falls apart, it won’t be because of someone else. It’ll be because you ruined it yourself.”Marianne had long known about the past between Mark and Aria. She understood exactly why Fifi was so hostile.In truth, Fifi was Grace’s niece, and technically not a Duncan by blood. She shouldn’t have been spending so much time at the Duncan estate. Grace was especially close to her brother since their parent

    Aria reached out when she saw Archer carrying all the bags by himself.“Let me carry a few,” she said.He glanced at her. “Let’s go.”“You’re holding too much. I’ll help,” she insisted.“Don’t be difficult,” he replied calmly. “Let’s get home before your mom starts worrying.”Though his hands were full of bags in all shapes and sizes, he didn’t seem the least bit bothered.But to Aria, it was hard to ignore how out of place it looked. A man as composed and elegant as Archer Duncan—yet here he was, carrying shopping bags without a trace of ego.When Rachel and James saw the mountain of bags they brought back, they both stared, speechless.Was Archer planning to move in or something?James couldn’t help but laugh. He could see it—Archer really did seem to care about his sister.Back in her room, Aria cleared out half the closet to make space for Archer’s new clothes.Archer looked on with satisfaction as his clothes joined hers in the wardrobe. Her little childhood room now hel
