If one didn’t know the truth, they would think she was a loving grandmother.
Cecilia looked at them coolly. “What does it have to do with you?”
Their sudden appearance was definitely not out of good intentions.
Tania’s eyes were red. “No matter what, he is Prisci’s son. It’s only right that I care about him.”
Larissa nced at Wesley. To her, Wesley’s attitude mattered most.
“Wes.”
She bit her lip slightly, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she had countless grievances to pour out.
Cecilia let go of Wesley’s arm. “I’ll wait for you in the car.”
She walked away.
Wesley pressed his lips together. His expression wasn’t exactly indifferent, but it wasn’t pleasant either. “Larissa, some things shouldn’t be forced.”
Larissa felt a pang of sadness. She understood what Wesley meant.
But she couldn’t let go.
“ud didn’t do it on purpose. He did it for me,” Larissa pleaded. “This time, please send him abroad again, okay, Wes? I’m begging
you,”

Compared to going to prison, leaving the country now was the best option.
Wesley looked at Larissa. This time, her tears left him unmoved.
“Larissa, for your sake, I’ve already given the Wilburn family many favors.”
Larissa felt a wave of bitterness. She remembered what Tania had said.
Affection is something that can eventually be worn away.
She forced a bitter smile. “I know. All these years, I’ve been a burden to you.”
Wesley was silent. Back then, it was he who had implicated Larissa.
He ought to make it up to her.
But over the years, he had already been generous enough to the Wilburn family.
“Larissa, you are my sister. I will protect you,” Wesley promised Larissa, but it was also a warning.
The car drove away.
Larissa couldn’t stop her tears from falling. “Mom.”
Tania had expected this oue. She felt upset, but she was good at reading the situation.
“I told you before, and now you see, it came true.”
She hugged her daughter tightly andforted her in a low voice, “Your father and brother are arrogant and think they’re clever. They deserve what they get. If they can’t be saved, then let them be.”

Tania repeated what she had said before, “Larissa, you have to think about your own future.”
Now, her only support was Wesley.
Larissa felt miserable. Wesley’s heart was with Cecilia.
He wanted to win Cecilia back, so anyone Cecilia disliked became a pawn for him to please her.
Now it was ude; in the future, it would probably be her turn.
Wesley got back in the car and nced at Cecilia. She was looking down at her phone, not caring about what had happened between him and Larissa.
“ude will go to prison,” he said proactively.
Cecilia put down her phone, a little surprised.
ude hadn’t been back long–who had he offended this time?
But with Wesley around, it was unlikely he would actually go to prison.
“Noah’s fall is rted to him.” Wesley rubbed his brow.
He didn’t hide anything from Cecilia and told her everything.
Cecilia put down her phone. “You mean he deliberately scattered the beads?”
Wesley rubbed his brow, looking utterly exhausted. “The police have already been called.”
Cecilia fell silent. She was surprised that Wesley would call the police.
In her memory, as long as Larissa cried, he would go through fire and

water for her without hesitation.
So there were times when he could refuse her after all?
“Are you really willing?” she asked.
Wesley leaned back in his chair, and words of affection slipped out naturally.
“For you, of course, I am willing to give up anything.”
Cecilia said calmly, “But for Larissa, you were willing to give up even me and our child.”
The previously warm atmosphere instantly froze.
Cecilia gazed out the window.
She was grateful that Wesley had saved Noah, but it was nothing more than gratitude.
After all, his act of saving someone was, at its core, a transaction.
Thinking of the child in her belly, she subconsciously reached out to touch her abdomen.
There, a life was growing.
What awaited him was a future free from want, butcking only in love.
This child, in the end…
She was lost in her thoughts, not noticing that the man beside her was watching her every expression.
His already deep eyes held a hint of coldness.

Wesley understood Cecilia. Even though she had spent the first three years under the identity of Prisci, ying the role of a fragile woman, she was rebellious at heart.
When she first found out she was pregnant, she wanted to abort the child, but for Noah’s sake, she agreed to keep it.
Now, Noah had Gracelyn to protect him.
Was she… thinking of going back on her word?
