But this was no longer about simple disagreements—it had already dug its way into old wounds from years ago.
“Forget it, Mr. Lee. You don’t need to persuade me anymore. My mom and I both know where we stand.”
Aurora let out a quiet, self-mocking laugh.
“So many years have passed, and she still refuses to tell me the truth. No matter how hard I push now, it won’t change anything.”
Hearing that, Arnold looked genuinely puzzled.
“What happened between the two of you?”
Aurora shook her head, clearly unwilling to say more.
Some things could be shared, but they could never be placed entirely on someone else’s shoulders.
Relying too much on others only ended up hurting yourself.
And while Arnold’s advice made sense, it applied to ordinary mothers and daughters. What lay between her and Grace was a deeper divide—one that couldn’t be crossed unless she confronted Tessa directly.
“Mr. Lee, go on with your work. I should head home.”
Aurora steered the conversation away and walked toward the door.
Seeing her like this made Arnold feel just as heavy-hearted.
“Do you want me to arrange a driver for you?”
“No need. I’ll just take a cab.”
Aurora declined his kindness without hesitation.
Arnold had been in this home long enough to manage drivers with ease, but she didn’t want to trouble him.
Since Aurora insisted so firmly, Arnold couldn’t say anything more to persuade her.
After she stepped outside, Grace’s words kept echoing in her mind.
She simply couldn’t understand how someone could be so unbelievably stubborn.
The evidence had been laid out right in front of her, yet she still refused to believe it.
