Zoe stared at Cora in slight surprise, not quite convinced that she could let go of past grievances so easily.Cora read Zoe's mind too and explained, "Since I've been brought back here, my mother has become the most important person to me. She gave me everything I did not even dare dream of before, be it riches, fame, or kinship. To me, her concerns are mine, and I won't care for what she doesn't care about."In other words, Cora changed her opinion of Zoe because Nancy did.It was as much of a surprise as it was unexpected.However, Zoe told her bluntly, "Actually, I think you should be more independent. You shouldn't be living for anyone else."Cora stared at her, unable to react to Zoe's advice, not to mention that her mother had told her the same thing just the other night."I understand that you're still afraid even after being given back what was rightfully yours," Zoe explained. "That's why you're tiptoeing and never gained confidence, because you fear that your newfound

Sean was waiting at the airport, glowering as if they owed him money—though he probably would not be that upset even if they did.Still, Cordy noticed in surprise that Patrick was there too! Should he not be in Rocktown? What was he doing here?!"Sean…" Cordy barely began when Sean turned and strode off.He looked really upset.Cordy slid a glance at John, who gave her an assuring look as if it was no issue.Cordy rolled her eyes—for him, maybe, since Sean was not his cousin.She quickly hurried after Sean, though they left the airport in two different cars.Though calm earlier, Cordy was starting to get a little worried because of Sean's silent treatment when John assured her, "Don't worry—I have leverage against him.""What?" Cordy exclaimed in surprise—leverage again Sean? What could it be?John merely grinned enigmatically while their cars soon took them to Cranston Hall.There, Cordy gingerly approached Sean. "How's Grandfather?""You remember him now?" Sean scoffed,

Richard was not actually watching the adults but was using his phone.He had no concerns these days since his daddy and mommy made up. He was therefore caught by surprise when his daddy suddenly said his name, and he looked at them in confusion.Sean was smart enough to catch what John meant right then—when he was older, Richard could take over the Cranston family estate.The man certainly had brains."What's wrong, Daddy?" Richard asked in confusion just then."Nothing. Get back to using your phone." John smiled.That smile creeped out Richard somehow, as if John was going to sell him off to some slavers.But considering that he was not adopted, and his biological parents had no reason to actually sell him, he shrugged and continued poring over his phone."How about that?" John asked for confirmation.Sean nodded begrudgingly—it was certainly not difficult.The reality was that Sean himself had no intention of abandoning the Cranston family estate easily since it was his gra

And the future was right in front of them.Everyone stayed at Jesse's ward for a while, and Cordy's eyes were still red as they left.She must admit that she felt relieved like never before, as if she really bade farewell to the past and made peace with it after telling her grandfather that John was there with them, alive.And she would always allow John to be in his life, always.Returning to Cranston Hall, John was leading Cordy to her room to get some rest when she said bluntly, "I'll rest later. You can go to our room for now—I want to talk to Patrick."John naturally knew what they would discuss, and Patrick agreed to it cheerfully.The last time they met was at their botched wedding—others aside, the two of them were still business partners, and they should not stay away from each other forever."Okay," John said simply."I'll take you to your room," Sean offered, letting Cordy and Patrick be alone.After John and Sean left, Cordy and Patrick headed to the tearoom outsid

Cordy had just picked up her teacup and was taking a slow sip—Patrick's words almost left her spitting it out.Patrick frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried?"Cordy considered it—but John had always been straight…"You don't really understand how amazing those two men really are," Patrick said solemnly. "You should know how incredible John is even without rose-tinted glasses. Others aside, I very much have no argument even if I lost you to him.""As for Sean…" Patrick trailed off, embarrassment showing on his face for once. "He's a real keeper only after I really got to know him.""Really? Is he that amazing?" Cordy was skeptical."Are you doubting your cousin's charisma?" Patrick demanded, clearly upset.Cordy raised a brow—here he was, defending his belief again!"Anyway, I'm going. I have to check out what those two are up to!" Patrick said and left.Cordy watched as he left really urgently right then, afraid that Sean would be stolen.She sighed feebly, thou
