The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 468

She possessed a beauty so breathtaking it seemed almost otherworldly.

Truly, she was fate’s favorite, the darling of destiny.

Whenever Jasper’s parents spoke of Aurora, the awe in their eyes was unmistakable, as if she belonged to a league far beyond their reach.

“Whoever marries Miss Aurora from the Williams family must have saved a kingdom in a past life,” Jasper’s mother would sigh.

“Aurora is just so outstanding—families like ours could never hope to dream of such a match,” his father agreed.

“I heard even kings from other countries have proposed, wanting to make her their queen,” someone would always add, “but her father turned them all down. Makes you wonder what kind of son-in-law the Williams family could possibly be waiting for.”

“Skyler would never allow his daughter to marry a king and become just one of many women. With Aurora’s family background, beauty, and talent, finding a man who’s exceptional and devoted to her alone should be a walk in the park.”

Jasper’s parents talked about Aurora as if she were some ethereal goddess.

Naturally, Jasper’s curiosity was piqued. He tried to find her photo online, only to come up empty. The Williams family had shielded her well—there wasn’t a single picture of her in the public eye.

It seemed they were determined to protect her, not even allowing so much as a breath of rumor to touch her.

Jasper, ever the skeptic, couldn’t help but compare Aurora to Stella, just to see how much Aurora’s looks would outshine hers.

But to his surprise, from the way Haynes spoke, it sounded like the two were evenly matched?

How was that possible?!

A woman like Aurora, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, had a grace and refinement that would leave Stella in the dust.

Jasper looked incredulous. “Haynie, are you putting Stella on too high a pedestal? There’s no way Stella could compare to a beauty like Aurora.”

Haynes met his gaze. “Is Stella so lacking in your eyes?”

Jasper opened his mouth, ready to bring up Stella’s unimpressive education and reputation.

But one look at the shadow in Haynes’s dark eyes, and the words died on his lips.

After all, Stella was Haynes’s ex-wife—the mother of Keen.

Saying anything bad about Stella would be an insult to both father and son.
