“Take a seat,” Vivian said, then turned and lifted the curtain to step into a small room inside. Through the
beaded curtain, | saw her light sincense, bow to a memorial tablet, and then cback out.
| was startled. Was there a memorial for someone in there?
Vivian cback out, and the housekeeper had already brewed the coffee. Vivian sat down.
“There's a memorial tablet for Ryan’s grandmother in there. Every t| cby, | light sincense for her,”
she explained.
Oh, so it was Ryan's grandma.

Vivian took a sip of her coffee. “When she was alive, she treatedso well. She was born into a prestigious
family-graceful and poised, always patient and modest. | was truly lucky to have a sister like her.”
My mind was a mess of complicated thoughts. Women back then were honestly incredible-they could put up with
their husbands having several wives and mistresses, and would bend over backwards just to compete for his
attention.
If the roles were reversed, would people judge her for it?
“Do you look down on Edward just because I'm his mother?” Vivian looked up at me, her gaze sharp.
| was caught off guard for a moment, then quickly shook my head. “No way. He's incredible.”
Vivian nodded. “These days, hardly anyone mentions where he cfrom, but when he was a kid, the two of us
got plenty of side-eye.”
| watched Vivian talk about the past like it was nothing. For someone as reserved as her, hearing all that gossip
behind her back must've been tough.
“Victoria, | can tell my son's really fallen for you this time. Would you consider giving him a chance?” Vivian
asked softly,
“Vivian, do you know about my situation?” | asked.
Vivian nodded. “Edward told me. It's not a big deal to me.”
| was stunned. Was Vivian really not going to judgefor my past or what | could do?
Seeing how surprised | was, Vivian explained, “Edward’s ex-wife was actually a perfect match for him on paper-
sbackground, sstatus. But there was just no spark between them.”
| remembered meeting Jane Leigh once. She was all business-decisive, sharp, a real powerhouse of a woman.
Isn't everyone always talking about power couples? Does that mean two strong personalities just can’t make it
work in love?

Vivian took a slow sip of her coffee. “Marriage is about two people building a life together. You don’t have to be
total opposites, but honestly, when one person is strong, the other showing a bit of softness can make things a
lot more stable.”
“Vivian, I'm just worried | won't live up to what you guys expect,” | admitted. ‘I'm not kidding myself
“What are you so afraid of? Even if you marry Edward and end up splitting up, he won't treat you badly. Are you
really scared of divorce?” Vivian gavea curious look. “If you're not afraid of anything, then what's left to
worry about?”
“I'm not afraid, but isn’t love supposed to be about staying together forever? Or am | just naive?” | asked, feeling
a little lost.
“If love comes, enjoy it. If it fades, just move on. Do what feels right-nobody says you have to stay married for
life,” Vivian said. She really was as open-minded as Edward said.
“Vivian, honestly... | always thought you wouldn't be okay withand Edward,” | said, giving her an awkward
smile.
“My son's been all about his work these past few years. You're the only woman he’s ever brought hto meet
me, so I'm giving you my blessing,” Vivian said, sounding like she’d really thought it over.
“Thank you for trusting me, Vivian. I'll think it over,” I replied. It felt like something insidehad finally
loosened up. Maybe | really shouldn't keep wavering.
“Just make sure you settle things with Ryan the right way,” Vivian said, her tone growing serious.
| said quietly, “After we broke up, | never even considered getting close to him again or starting anything up.”
