Filed to story: I Got Married Without You
Especially when she realized that her son was in love, she didn’t feel happy for him. Instead, she believed that someone like Skender, with her background, could never help her son, so she tried every means to break them up…
Back then, when Skender and Aaron had their falling out, she had contributed quite a bit. So when George questioned her in the courtyard, she couldn’t give a single answer. It was true that she hadn’t treated Skender well..!
During this period of time, every time Jocelyn thought of Aaron, her heart would ache. She thought that by snatching the child away, she could heal the wound. But today, she realized that even if she took the child, Aaron would never come back…
Her son would never return, but should she also disregard his last wish selfishly?
It can be said that it was for this belief that Jocelyn finally gave up struggling.
However, the little girl in front of her was still Aaron’s daughter, her own granddaughter. She couldn’t fully let go.
When Rosalyn first met Jocelyn, she seemed lively. But this time, she noticed that Jocelyn had aged, with wrinkles on her face and gray hair at her temples.
As a mother who had lost her child in midlife, no matter how harsh and strict she was, the one she had lost was the child she had carried for ten months.
Rosalyn, feeling sympathy for Jocelyn, asked Grace, “Grace, do you agree?”
After hesitating for a moment while staring at the frail old lady outside the window, Grace nodded and said, “As long as you don’t force me to leave like you did earlier, then you can come to see me.”
Tears welled up in Jocelyn’s eyes as she heard this. “Child, don’t worry, I won’t be impulsive like that again…”
After humming in agreement, Grace turned her small body and reached for the snacks she had secretly hidden in the backseat storage compartment.
Rosalyn noticed and gently patted her bottom. “Grace, how many times have I told you that these snacks are unhealthy and can ruin your teeth? Why don’t you listen?”
Although her tone carried some reproach, her voice was gentle and warm.
Hearing this, Jocelyn remembered Aaron’s childhood. It seemed that she had never spoken to him in such a gentle tone before.
With these thoughts in mind, Jocelyn’s gaze shifted back to Rosalyn. “Since she doesn’t listen repeatedly, why don’t you just take away her snacks and throw them away?”
After stopping Grace, Rosalyn turned to look at the person outside the window. “When I was in the orphanage, because of my weak heart and frail body, I walked and ate very slowly. But the caregivers who took care of me never scolded me and always had patience. Maybe because of this, I can’t scold children either.”
Good environment could truly cultivate a gentle and virtuous person. Jocelyn gradually felt relieved. “With Grace having a gentle aunt like you, she will definitely grow up to be a good girl.”
Rosalyn smiled but remained silent. Jocelyn continued, “Rosalyn, I want to entrust the Sherwood family and the Johnson family to her. Can I?”
Rosalyn, disagreeing with burdening a young child with family responsibilities, replied, “Let’s talk about it when she grows up.” Jocelyn explained, “I mean when she grows up.”
Rosalyn said, “Then ask Grace herself when the time comes.”
She wouldn’t make any life choices for the child. Everything would be in her own hands.
Andrew, sitting in the front, grew impatient and glanced back at her.
Rosalyn didn’t say much to Jocelyn anymore. “Jocelyn, it’s getting late. I’ll take the child back home first.”
Jocelyn said, “Okay,” but then seemed to remember something and said somewhat apologetically, “I’m sorry about your mother.”
Sumasa was her best friend since childhood, but at that time, Alice’s words provoked her and she ended up physically harming Sumasa’s face.
This incident troubled Jocelyn for many years, to the point where she couldn’t face Skender when she found out that Skender was Sumasa’s daughter. She didn’t even dare to let her into her home.
Jocelyn felt guilty towards the three of them. If it weren’t for her, Skender would have married Aaron, and Rosalyn wouldn’t have ended up in an orphanage. In the end, it was her own wrongdoing that caused such a disaster, and that’s why fate took her son’s life.
Rosalyn now understood that it was Alice’s fault that Jocelyn’s potion splashed onto Sumasa’s face. Her resentment towards Jocelyn wasn’t as strong anymore. However, she couldn’t bring herself to accept Jocelyn’s apology on behalf of her mother. Instead, she simply nodded her head to Jocelyn, indicating that she acknowledges the apology.
Jocelyn knew that Rosalyn would never forgive her. If it weren’t for Grace’s relationship, she probably wouldn’t even exchange words with her anymore. Luckily, Grace was there, giving her the chance to apologize to Sumasa’s remaining daughter. This way, Jocelyn’s guilt towards Sumasa would lessen.
After saying goodbye to Jocelyn, Paul, at Anthony’s request, set up a party and invited everyone who had been involved in the court case.
Except for Eva.
During the court proceedings, Paul and Eva were sitting quite close to each other, but they didn’t even glance at each other.
Even when they accidentally bumped into each other while leaving the courtroom, they politely said “sorry” to each other and went their separate ways.
Everyone understood why Paul didn’t invite Eva given their current situation, but Anthony felt that Paul was still not feeling well emotionally.
Anthony picked up his glass and clinked it against Paul’s. “Are you really just letting go like this?”
Paul, drinking his alcohol silently, replied without much emotion, “I’ve tried my best, but I’m tired.”
He was tired and didn’t want to pursue Eva anymore. It didn’t hold much meaning. Things were fine as they were now.
When Anthony was about to try to persuade him again, he looked up and saw Edith walking in from the door, her dark gradually gaining color. eyes But when he saw Dylan following behind her, that hint of color that had just ignited slowly faded away.
Paul followed his gaze and glanced at the entrance, his eyebrows furrowing as soon as his eyes met Dylan’s. “Why did you bring him here?”
He had clearly warned Edith not to invite anyone else to thank Anthony. Why didn’t she listen?
Edith walked up to Andrew with Dylan by her side. “Andrew, you don’t mind having one more person, right?”
Andrew didn’t mind, but Rosalyn…
He turned his head, but didn’t see Rosalyn. He was slightly surprised.
Next to him, Neil raised a symmetrical smile and reached out his hand to Dylan as he stood up. “Dylan, do you remember me?”
The Lawrence Family was the client for Skender’s final project, so Neil, who wanted to survey the construction site, naturally had met him before.
Dylan had a good memory and recognized Neil. He politely shook his hand and said, “Hello, you’re the chief designer of Skender.”
His father had met Skender once and had been interested in her for a long time before finally inviting her to design a house for the family.
Seeing that Dylan remembered him, Neil’s smile became even more symmetrical. “It seems I’m quite memorable. Otherwise, someone as important as you wouldn’t remember.” Looking at the stiff smile on Neil’s face, Dylan forced a smile and said, “You’re definitely memorable. I remembered you the moment I saw you.”
Who wouldn’t remember someone who pursued balance even in their smiles?
Neil was flattered and very happy. “Dylan, come over here and let’s have a drink.”
Dylan hadn’t even greeted Andrew yet when Neil, who was full of enthusiasm, dragged him to sit down.
As soon as Neil sat down, he saw Andrew staring at him, which startled him. “Mr. Evans, why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t take Rosalyn away. She just went to the restroom…” When Dylan came in, Rosalyn quickly ran into the restroom, afraid of being caught and having her identity exposed when they went to survey The Lawrence Family’s construction site. Andrew naturally knew that she was hiding, but he couldn’t stand Neil’s flattery. After giving him a cold glance, he nodded towards Edith.
Dylan was already dragged to sit down by Neil, so he had to nod, but…
The man’s cold, snowy gaze glanced at Anthony sitting across from him.
