“Grandma, I know what I’m doing with Wesley,” Cilla said firmly. “Please don’t worry about it.”
Truthfully, she didn’t want Wesley near An’an.
No–she didn’t want anyone from the Carlton family near An’an.
An’an was hers alone.
Madam sighed. “I’ve overstepped. Since you’ve made your decision, I’ll respect it.”
After all, with Johan around, An’an would never want for anything.
Cilla returned to her room, packed the gift from Frank into a box, and had it delivered back immediately.
The Carlton’s mansion
Frank beamed with satisfaction. “Cilla accepted the gift! That proves she still acknowledges Wesley as the child’s father. Wesley, you must seize this chance to win her back.”
Amelia had seen An’an’s photos and now accepted the situation–she wanted the child to claim his rightful place in the family.
“Wesley, this is promising. Bring An’an home.”

Before he could respond, the butler entered carrying a box.
“This was sent by Ms. Zamora.”
Frank looked at the familiar box, his expression grim. He sighed
heavily. Cecilia had returned the items, making her stance crystal clear.
Amelia opened her mouth but remained silent.
She glanced worriedly at Wesley.
Wesley’s face stayed calm. He’d anticipated this, yet couldn’t quell the sadness and disappointment inside.
Her resolve was unshakable.
“I’m heading to my room.”
He left the living room.
Amelia couldn’t help complaining, “Cecilia’s heart is too cruel. Wesley is still Andy’s father and guardian.”
“Enough. Wesley wronged Cilla back then. He must face the consequences now.”
Luna entered as the words hung in the air. She’d heard every syllable.
Three years had passed since her husband’s death, yet she showed no intention of leaving, remaining with the Carlton family.
Amelia resented it but couldn’t outright expel her.
After divorcing Brendon, she’d moved to another property.
She’d returned today upon hearing Frank visited the Johnson family, eager for news.

“These matters ended three years ago. Cecilia clinging to them is utterly excessive.”
Luna sat on the sofa, radiating smug certainty.
Frankly, whether it’s good or not, let Wesley get married. With a new wife and child, he’ll finally move on from Cecilia.
Three years had passed since Cecilia left abroad for further studies. Unable to obtain her perfume journal, she set her sights on Wesley instead.
Even as a second marriage, countless families still sought alliance with the Carlton family.
Frank disagreed, adamant that Cecilia was his chosen granddaughter- in–law.
Chloe sighed and advised earnestly, “I know you adore Cecilia, but you must consider the Carlton family’s future. Must Wesley remain unmarried forever just because she won’t relent?”
Frank was torn.

Years ago, he’d sent all his illegitimate children away. Wesley stood as the Carlton family’s sole heir.
If he never married, would their lineage end with him?
Chloe continued, “Father, hear this: Aaron has returned. Let him train under Wesley and teach him how to charm women.”
Chloe’s son carried her surname, Johnson, and was named Aaron Johnson.
