Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1788

When he said that, William’s eyes were filled with nothing but pain for Aurora.

He wasn’t blind.

He knew that when Aurora was little, she had actually relied on Grace a great deal.

Even though he had loved her dearly from the moment she was born, he could only ever play the role of a father. He could never fill the void left by a mother who didn’t love her.

Thinking of that, he felt Aurora’s childhood had been unbearably cruel.

Why did such a small child have to endure something like this?

But when Grace heard his words, she dismissed them without a hint of remorse.

“Any child I had with you is a child I’ll never like.”

That single sentence was enough to make William completely give up on her.

From then on, he never treated Grace kindly again.

And whenever he saw Tessa, he either rolled his eyes or ignored her outright.

After all, it was this child who had taken all the affection that should have belonged to his daughter.

Aurora should have been the little princess loved by everyone, yet out of nowhere came a stranger’s child who took her place.

What was his daughter supposed to do then?

Was she simply meant to suffer?

At that age, young Aurora understood nothing.

All she knew was that ever since she could remember, her parents seemed to fight constantly because of her.

That was when she stopped talking as much. Deep down, she felt Grace never loved her.

Before Aurora was old enough to understand the situation, she had longed desperately for a mother’s affection.

But once she grew old enough to make sense of the truth, she stopped hoping for it altogether.

No, that wasn’t quite right.

She didn’t just stop hoping; she stopped expecting anything at all.

Because she learned early on that, to Grace, a mother’s love was nothing but an empty, unreachable concept.
