Chapter 603: Aron guided her back inside and gently pressed her to sit down before speaking.
"Maybe you're not entirely wrong. Before Tracy cback, Brian did seem to hold onto memories of her. But now that she's here, reality is different, and that..." "Attachment has faded. Over the years, it was Rachel who stood by him and cared for him without complaint. He grew so accustomed to her presence that he never realized how much she meant to him. But now that she's about to leave, he can't bear it. If I'm not wrong, he's finally figured out who he truly loves. He's made his choice, and we shouldn't interfere. Besides, this is what my mother wants too." Aron's voice remained calm and steady as he spoke. Only then did Debby finally nod, though reluctantly.
"Fine. If I can't change it, I won't fight it," she sighed in resignation. "I've always believed that once a child grows up, they must make their own choices.

"Ouch! My foot! Brian... I think I twisted my ankle. It hurts so much," Tracy whimpered tically, hoping at last to make him look back.

"Do you wantto?” he asked quietly.
"That's up to you," she replied calmly.
