Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1878

“But back then, I threatened him. I told him that if he didn’t want to lose his job, he’d better keep his mouth shut.”

Hearing this, shock flashed across Grace’s eyes.

She turned to Arnold in disbelief.

“Arnold, is what she said true?”

Seeing Grace so shaken, Arnold could hardly bring himself to answer.

He knew that once he spoke, it would deal her yet another blow.

After all, Grace truly had doted on Tessa since childhood.

Yet Tessa never once considered her feelings.

At that thought, even Arnold found the situation bitterly ironic.

Still, these were things he could not say outright.

Grace had always cared deeply about her dignity.

Those around her knew her temperament well.

At times, they even avoided involving her.

Arnold let out a quiet sigh.

“Madam Grace, what matters most right now is handling Tessa’s situation properly.”

“As for everything else, I hope you won’t dwell on it too much.”

How could Grace not understand what he meant?

Tears streamed down her face, as though they would never stop.

In that moment, she finally realized how absurd her own actions had been.

Just as Grace was about to speak to Tessa again, a disturbance came from the doorway.

Everyone inside looked up.

A man stepped in from the light outside, his figure silhouetted against the glare.

The moment Grace saw his outline, her heart jolted.

After all these years, she hadn’t expected her heart to still skip a beat.

She had thought she was long past it.
