Before this, she had never noticed any of it.
It was obvious the matter had nothing to do with Aurora, yet Tessa still dragged her into it.
Wasn’t that the same as throwing mud on Aurora for no reason?
Realizing this, Grace couldn’t help sighing. How had she lived all these years without seeing it?
Another family’s child had spent so long smearing her own daughter, and she hadn’t even noticed.
She had even kept taking Tessa’s side.
Meanwhile, Tessa finally sensed something was wrong.
Grace used to be openly dissatisfied with Aurora.
No matter how Tessa slandered Aurora in front of her, Grace never cared, but today she instinctively pushed back.
“Mom, what’s going on with you? Why does everything you’re saying today feel so off?”
Unable to hold back anymore, Tessa asked her directly.
She sensed Grace wasn’t acting like herself, because before this, Grace would never have pointed out that she was dumping blame on Aurora.
On any other day, Grace would have already started agreeing with her.
The thought made Tessa increasingly uneasy.
She felt as if Grace had grown unfamiliar—someone she no longer recognized.
And Grace had never been like this before.
“I told you, this has nothing to do with her. Why ask me something so meaningless?”
This time, Grace didn’t follow Tessa’s lead; she cut off any connection to Aurora outright.
Ever since that talk with Arnold, she’d begun to see just how unfairly she’d been treating Aurora.
