Grace’s attitude toward her had changed drastically, so much so that it felt like she was facing an entirely different person.This time, Aurora was determined not to let the opportunity slip away. She had to hold on tight and make sure things didn’t end up the way they had before.Grace glanced at Aurora, who now seemed a little more obedient than before. There were things she wanted to say, but the words stuck in her throat. Some things and people were best left to be changed by time.But the matter with Tessa...Just as she opened her mouth, Grace noticed Lucas and Leonard standing nearby. Her gaze dimmed, and in the end, she said nothing.After all, there were outsiders in the room.Tessa was the daughter she had raised from childhood. No matter what had happened, she didn’t want to discuss such things in front of others. What if it affected Aurora’s emotions?Aurora caught on quickly, following her mother’s line of sight toward Lucas and Leonard.Lucas and Leonard exchanged a

All she needed to do now was support her mother and help build Walton Corporation into something stronger.What she aimed for was far beyond where things currently stood.Grace could see the change. Compared to before, Aurora had made tremendous progress. That once-stubborn streak was gone, replaced by poise and maturity.“Good. Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease,” Grace said with a sigh of relief. “Right now, I only hope your sister can come to her senses. That’s all I wish for.”“She will, Mom. Don’t worry.”Aurora lowered her gaze, choosing not to continue down that line of conversation. If they kept talking about it, there’d be no end to it.Besides, no matter what conclusions she and Grace came to, it still depended on how Tessa chose to respond.…At that moment, Tessa had returned home and made it clear to herself—she wasn’t going to bother with her mother anymore.Grace had shown no signs of waking when she was there. But after Aurora and the others showed up, she su

That guy—he wasn’t even as good-looking as Julian, was he?With that thought, Tessa’s gaze toward Julian softened noticeably.She took his hand and guided it to her waist. “Alright, I’m here now, aren’t I? All yours.”Julian’s eyes followed her every move, the message in her actions far from subtle, and he understood it perfectly.His gaze darkened.He was a man in his prime—how could he possibly resist such open temptation?Especially when he did, in fact, like Tessa.The thought alone stirred something in him, and his grip on her waist grew firmer.Tessa gasped softly, their bodies pressed close.Julian pulled her into a deeper kiss, trailing lower with increasing urgency.Tessa could feel his desire, his possessiveness—it pleased her.In her mind, that was what sustained a relationship. If a man had no desire for her, how could any feelings last?She had no doubts about her own allure.But then her thoughts drifted to what she’d seen at the restaurant that day.This visit—she’d com

By then, even if Grace wanted to change her stance, it would be too late. With everyone watching, backtracking would be nearly impossible.Tessa and Julian were in perfect sync.Since the moment she arrived that afternoon, they hadn’t left the room once.Tessa couldn’t help but feel a bit absurd about it all.She nudged Julian off her gently. “Alright, seriously, look at the time. Your parents are going to think I have no manners.”“They won’t,” Julian replied, his eyes glinting. In fact, he suspected his parents would rather he keep Tessa upstairs even longer, anything to keep her occupied and close.But Tessa wasn’t so comfortable with the idea. She propped herself up, ready to get up. “Enough for today. This has already been ridiculous.”Her body ached, especially her waist, sore and bruised as if she’d been run over. Her skin, always delicate, was now covered in marks from Julian’s less-than-gentle grip. The bruises stood out starkly, leaving her both pained and startled.Julia

Carol chimed in with a soft smile, her tone coaxing, “Tessa, didn’t you say you loved these ribs? When you marry into the family, you can have them every day.”She wore the gentlest, most motherly expression she could manage—her signature charm when she wanted to win someone over.At first, Tessa felt a flicker of warmth, even moved by the sentiment.But the moment those words landed, she glanced around the table and noticed the way everyone was looking at her.Their eyes weren’t just warm; they were hopeful, as if they were all silently begging her to say yes, to seal the deal and marry into the family.And that made something in her chest tighten.She hadn’t even answered Julian’s earlier question yet.With a composed expression, Tessa spoke clearly, her tone serious. “I understand that you all want me to marry into the family. But I’ve said it before—this isn’t a decision I can make on my own. I still have to talk to my mother.“If I give you a verbal promise here today, and my moth
