Chapter 466
Aría continued, “By chance, we got to know each other. She’s staying with me now and will continue to do so. As her biological sister, I thought you
should know.”

She paused, then added, “You two don’t have any real bond, so if you’re not comfortable reuniting with her, that’s fine. She’s doing well now.”
Silvía sat there in stunned silence, struggling to process everything. Aria didn’t rush her–she simply waited, giving her time to take it all in.
After what felt like an eternity, Silvia finally found her voice, her tone uncertain. “We’re practically strangers… Would she even want to accept me?”
It was precisely because the Saxon family treated her so well that their own flesh–and–blood daughter, Aría, seemed all the more pitiable by comparison.
Though she wasn’t their blood, the Saxon family had given her unconditional love. She could never go against their wishes.
Even if Joseph arranged a marriage prospect for her, even if she detested the man, she still couldn’t refuse.
She had no choice but to follow the path laid out by the Saxon family. If she refused, she’d be seen as someone who bit the hand that fed her.
Silvia was like a bird in a cage–how could she not envy the hawk soaring free?
Everything Aria had, she earned through her own efforts. Silvia’s heart swelled with both admiration and envy. ‘Aria’s truly free–unshackled by anyone’s expectations.‘
Silvia couldn’t hate. She’d received the Saxon family’s love and affection, so it was only fair to lose something in return.
Now that she got to know she had a biological sister, the initial shock quickly gave way to irrepressible joy.
‘I have family after all. I’m not alone, Silvia thought, a wave of relief washing over her.
‘Maybe this is my chance to break free from the arranged marriage.‘
Aria gazed at her quietly and said, “Her name is Pearl Saxon. She took my last name.”
“Pearl,” Silvia repeated softly, her eyes welling up with emotion. “Thank you for telling me, Aria.”
‘If I were Aria,‘ Silvia thought, ‘I could never face the person who took my life without resentment.’
Yet she had never seen even a trace of hatred in Aria’s eyes.
Aria gave her a meaningful look and asked, “Do you want to see Pearl right now, or should we schedule another time?”
Silvia said, “I’m free now, Aria. Would this be a good time for you?”
“Now works. Let’s go,” Aria said.
Silvia flashed a gentle smile and picked up several bags beside her. When Aria looked over, she explained with a hint of shyness, “These are some desserts I made myself–so you can try them.”
“Mm. Thanks,” Aria said.
‘Silvia didn’t know about Pearl before coming here,‘ Aria thought. ‘So these treats… were they meant for me?‘
Aria shot Silvia a subtle glance, catching the unusual spark of joy that had just flashed in her eyes.
‘Hope things won’t let her down,‘ Aria thought.
Standing before the door, Silvia nervously clutched the bags. ‘If Pearl chose to stay with Aria, she must really like her,‘ she thought anxiously.

‘Aria and I are polar opposites. I’m not sure if Pearl will accept someone like me.
“Let me take those,” Aria said, taking the bags from her and opening the door.
