Grace’s face instantly darkened. “Aurora Walton, I am your mother. Is this really how you’re going to treat me? Have you really decided to cut ties with me?”“Of course,” Aurora replied without hesitation. “Even if I still longed for a mother’s love, I wouldn’t want it from someone who only knows how to manipulate me.“And as for my life with Lucas, you don’t need to worry. His parents treat me wonderfully—better than you ever did. “Through them, I finally understood what a real mother’s love feels like. It’s nothing like what I had with you.”Grace clutched her chest, hurt flashing across her face. “Do you really mean that?”Aurora met her disbelieving gaze and nodded. “I do. Didn’t you see how happy I looked when I came back with Lucas? That smile was real. The only time I ever speak harshly is when I’m with you.“So please, stop interfering with our lives. We’re happy together, and we don’t need anyone else’s opinions or approval.”Tessa stepped forward, trying to ease the tension,

Survival of the fittest—it was a law that applied to every environment.Under her mother’s steady gaze, Tessa nodded. “Mom, I know how much effort you’ve put into me. Sometimes I really hate myself for not understanding you sooner. I want to do better. I really do.“Don’t worry, I’ll study hard and learn properly from now on.”Grace patted her on the shoulder. “I’m glad you understand. I don’t have much else to say. Just remember to learn from your seniors—listen more, ask questions. “Don’t feel embarrassed. Everyone has a first time. What matters isn’t making mistakes, it’s refusing to move forward.”Tessa nodded earnestly. “I understand, Mom. I’ll work harder. You should rest soon. It’s getting late.”“Alright. As long as you understand where I’m coming from, that’s enough.”Grace waved a hand gently. “Go on, get some rest. I’ll stay here in the study a little longer.”Tessa’s eyes softened with concern. “Mom, don’t keep everything bottled up. You can always talk to me, okay? I’ll

“We share the same blood, Aurora. We’re family. No one in this world could ever love you more than I do.”Grace’s voice trembled with sincerity, and if one looked closely, there were tears glimmering in her eyes. Her gaze locked onto Aurora’s, unwilling to let go.Seeing that, Aurora’s heart wavered for a moment. But then, the memory of what Grace had said to Lucas the night before echoed in her ears.She quickly shook her head, trying to drive away those foolish, dangerous thoughts.None of this was real. Grace was only using her. She couldn’t fall for it again.From this moment on, Aurora regretted ever letting her mother learn who Lucas truly was.If Grace had never found out, none of this trouble would’ve happened.“That’s enough. You don’t need to say another word.” Aurora turned her gaze away. “I know perfectly well who’s been good to me and who hasn’t. Saying more won’t change anything.”Her voice turned cold. “I’m an adult, capable of making my own judgments. Words mean nothing

“You really think so?” Aurora’s eyes lit up, her tone almost eager.“Of course,” Lucas replied without hesitation. “But there’s one thing you should always remember—I’ll always be on your side. “No matter what you do, I’ll support you. I’ll be your anchor, and whenever you look back, I’ll be right there waiting.”“Alright. Let’s go home.”Warmth spread through Aurora’s chest. Hearing his words brought her more comfort than she could express.When they returned, she skipped breakfast and had Lucas drive her straight to the studio. She still needed to discuss some project details with Daniel that morning.There was no time to waste.“If there’s anything I can help with, make sure to tell me,” Lucas said. Ever since revealing his true identity, he had been openly supporting her.He no longer wanted to hide who he was. Now that he could stand proudly beside her, why should he hold back?More than anything, he wanted Aurora to lean on him and let him share her burdens.He was done being th

”If you keep being this lazy, what am I supposed to tell your parents?”After sending the second message, Aurora waited for a while but still got no response.It was already close to ten o’clock. Even if Megan had overslept, she should’ve been up by now. Besides, she had never been late for work before, so what was going on today?Meanwhile, Megan was at the hospital, keeping Leonard company.When she finally saw Aurora’s messages, she quickly found a moment to call back.Aurora answered almost immediately, her voice sharp with concern. “Megan, it’s already past ten! How are you still sleeping? You—”Before she could finish, Megan cut in anxiously. “Aurora, I’m not sleeping. I’ve been up for a while.”“Then why didn’t I see you at the studio?” Aurora asked, puzzled. “Did you forget you’re supposed to be at work today? It’s Monday.”“I didn’t forget,” Megan said quickly. “Don’t worry, I just have something to deal with.”“What could possibly be so important that you’d skip work?” Auror
