The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 735

Aunt Kellen approaches Tara, her eyes softening. "Tara, I'm so glad you came. I honestly thought you wouldn't."

It is a tragic occasion, but seeing her niece here brings Kellen a profound sense of comfort. If Charles is watching from somewhere, knowing Tara came to say goodbye must mean she has finally forgiven him. He would be at peace.

"I didn't think I would either," Tara replies softly, keeping her devastating sorrow locked tight behind her ribs.

Her cryptic response leaves them guessing, but no one pushes her. The simple fact that she is standing here is a massive turning point, regardless of her reasons.

The rest of the service proceeds smoothly, draped in the heavy silence of grief. Tara doesn't speak to the brothers again. Given the suffocating atmosphere, it isn't the time for dramatic apologies or drawn-out conversations. There are only quiet sighs, muffled tears, and murmured condolences.

Eventually, the guests begin to filter out, leaving only the immediate family in the hall.

"You should all head out. Tara needs a moment alone," Danny says quietly but firmly, stepping in like a shield as the brothers tentatively approach her.
