Chapter 756

Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy exchanged a stunned glance. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Aaron had his heart set on Marilla.

Then, the astonished voice of Mrs. Suri Ashbourne echoed through the room, “Aaron, what on earth are you saying? You want to marry Ms. Abernathy? When did you start harboring such thoughts about that girl?

And what about the love triangle with Mr. Fairhaven? Where do you fit into this picture? You better not be aiming to be the other man; not even if I had the thick skin like a hundred–layer cake could I endure the shame! An Ashbourne heir cannot be reduced to a homewrecker, even if he is seeking another man’s company!”

Behind them, Thaddeus and Evadne felt awkwardly speechless.

After a tense silence, Aaron spoke with a bitter edge to his voice, “Originally, I stepped back because I saw the affection between Marilla and Jareth. Jareth truly cared for her. I wanted Marilla to have a smooth path to love; I didn’t want to cause trouble for her.”

Didn’t want to cause trouble. Evadne’s long lashes lowered in a silent sigh.

In truth, Aaron and Marilla were kindred spirits – both constantly put others before themselves, empathetic, and thoughtful.

She had often wondered: Would Marilla be happier with Aaron? But love wasn’t a series of what–ifs.

“But now, Marilla is about to marry someone she doesn’t love.”

Each word Aaron spoke was charged with a burning desire that had been suppressed for far too long, “If that’s the case. Mom, I want to follow my heart for once. I want to pursue Marilla.”
