The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1295
Grace expressed her concern, ” Marriage is a pivotal moment. Skipping a wedding might draw unwelcome attention and cause rumors.”
Liam noticed Blake’s discomfort and quickly reassured her, his voice steady and supportive. “It’s okay, Blake has made her decision, and I will support her in whatever she chooses.”
Seeing the couple fall silent, Grace did not press further. “If a wedding isn’t what you want, we’ll respect that decision. Let’s plan a family dinner, at the very least.”
Blake agreed without further objection and said, “I’ve already made arrangements for dinner next month when my parents return. We can celebrate together then.”
Grace accepted this plan. She conceded, “Since you’re both in agreement, I’ll support it. It’s ultimately your choice.”
Shifting the topic, Grace’s tone turned to concern. “By the way, Blake, have you tried contacting Mya recently? It’s odd. She used to call home every day, but recently there’s been no word from her and I can’t get through to her old number.”
Blake responded, a hint of worry in her voice. “I’ve tried calling since I got here, with no luck. She might be preoccupied.”
Grace nodded and said, “I’m not as worried about her safety as I am about her health. I fear she’s not holding up well, and her condition might worsen to the point that she might even forget us.”
Blake promised, albeit reluctantly, “I’ll try calling her again.”
Grace then offered, “Why not stay here tonight? It’s been too quiet around here without you.”
Blake agreed to stay.
After dinner, while Blake and Grace took a reflective walk outside, Liam and Simon engaged in a game of chess inside.
During their walk, Grace probed gently, “You had feelings for Kevin, didn’t you? What changed? Did something happen? Marriage is for life, Blake. You need to think it through.”
Blake hesitated, then suppressed her troubles to herself. She did not want to burden Grace, who had already aged significantly from worrying about Mya.
“I’ve made up my mind. Who I marry doesn’t really matter. Liam said if I ever want to divorce, he’d let me go,” said Blake.
Grace, sensing something unsaid, cautiously asked, “Did Cecilia influence this decision?”
Blake offered a strained smile, masking her true feelings. “No, it was my decision. Liam is good to me, and I’m not getting any younger. If Kevin doesn’t care for me, I shouldn’t waste my time on him.”
Grace nodded. “That’s true. If Kevin doesn’t care for you, there’s no point in lingering on him.”
But Blake’s heart could not accommodate anyone besides Kevin. The truth was that her agreement to marry Liam was merely a facade to deal with Cecilia.
Unexpectedly, Cecilia had sold her shares in the Jardin Corporation to a stranger and stepped down from her role, leaving everyone to ponder her motives.
