Virginia knew her son better than anyone. She could see exactly what he felt for Aella, even when he tried to hide it.

When he first said he wanted to marry her, she had been shocked.

But Aella backing out now, right before the marriage license? That stunned her even more.

After thinking it over, Virginia told the butler to pack up a few gifts. She decided to visit the Reids herself.

She arrived a little after nine in the morning.

Aella’s parents greeted her warmly and invited her into the living room.

Virginia didn’t bother with small talk.

“I just want to know if something happened between Aella and Tyrone. The wedding is almost here, but they still haven’t gotten the marriage license.”

Aella’s parents exchanged a look. Miriam quietly got up to summon Aella.

Warren gave a careful smile. “Aella just graduated college. Taking a couple of years to focus on work before marriage isn’t such a bad thing.”

Virginia frowned. “Warren, we’ve known each other half our lives. Working and getting married aren’t the same thing. If she wants to work, I’ll support her. But that doesn’t explain backing out all of a sudden.”

She leaned forward. “Did Tyrone do something? Did he upset you or Aella?”

At that moment, Aella walked into the room with her mother and sat beside Virginia.

Her voice was steady. “Virginia, this is my fault.”

She carried the weight of another lifetime in her heart, but no one else knew that.

Aella spoke clearly. “I spoke out of ignorance. Out of a lack of experience in life. I didn’t understand myself. I thought about it before we went to get the license. All these years, I’ve seen Tyrone as family, not as a man I could love. I care about him, but not in that way. I can’t marry him.”

She reached out and held Virginia’s hand. “I’m sorry, Virginia. Tyrone is like a brother to me. I know it’s late to say this, but it’s better now than after the wedding.”

Chapter 394 Worned Mother

Finished

Aella smiled softly. “You’ve always treated me like your own daughter. So why not make it official? Let me be your goddaughter. Raine and I will both take care of you when you’re older.

Virginia froze. If it were about money, she could have fixed that. If it were about reputation, she could have handled it.

But this? What could she possibly say when Aella said she saw Tyrone as her brother?

There was nothing to argue. She couldn’t turn down that sweet offer of love, but she couldn’t push a marriage either.

When she left the Reids‘ house, she called Tyrone. Her voice was calm but firm. “Come home tonight. We need to talk.”
