“Are you certain that Millie is Aisha? It’s an extraordinary coincidence,” Freyja exclaimed incredulously upon learning of the connection between Aisha and Millie. The revelation was hard for her to fathom.
“| wish | were mistaken. All we can do is maintain absolute discretion. We cannot allow Leon to becaware of this truth. You understand how stubborn he is about this matter. If he were to uncover it, it could shatter the tranquility of the Thomas family.“
Both Leon and Marcus were Claudia‘s grandsons and integral members of the Thomas family. Any discord between them stemming from the Millie-Aisha connection could spell catastrophe.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure lingered just beyond the slightly ajar door-Leon himself. His acute ears captured every word of their conversation.
ANGELA'‘sLIBRARY Leon’s fists clenched with palpable tension.

With a resounding crash, the door was forcefully shoved open. The cup held within Claudia’s grasp slipped from her fingers, shattering upon impact as she was startled by the abrupt entrance of Leon.
Why was she not informed of his return? Did he hear everything? “Grandma, Marcus, Bruce, and I-you favor Marcus, don’t you? Because he’s the better choice?” Leon’s voice dripped with sarcasm as he jeered at Claudia.
With their exposure undeniable, Claudia began to speak, her voice tinged with apology.
“I'm sorry, Leon. | did this for you and for the well-being of the entire Thomas family.”
“For me?”
Leon repeated the words through gritted teeth, his appearance conveying a sense of anguish.
“Leon, it’s tto let go of the past and move forward with your Life. The possibility of you and Millie being together is implausible, and this is also for Millie’s sake. You can see that she shares a meaningful bond with Marcus.” Claudia attempted to reason.
Claudia recognized that whatever she said at this moment would likely incite Leon’s displeasure. Yet she found herself backed into a corner with no viable solution that could appease both sides. Millie was a singular individual, and she couldn't be divided between her two grandsons.
One of them would inevitably have to relinquish his claim on her.
“You must be concerned that I'll resort to any means necessary to claim Millie for myself, thereby pitting myself against Marcus, correct? Your assumption is accurate. At this point, | care for nothing but my own desires. This family holds no sentimental value to me, and I've grown indifferent to its frigid embrace.” Leon's words carried a chilling weight, inducing an involuntary shiver.
These words sent a wave of apprehension through Claudia. Was her worst fear about to materialize? Would Leon truly stop at nothing to wrest Millie away, even if it meant clashing with Marcus?
