Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022

It looked like they were going to lose their son after all.

There was a flicker of struggle in the eyes of Albert and Carol.

After all, they only had one son.

It wasn’t easy to let go, especially for Carol–she’d brought him into this world, he was a piece of her.

How could she not ache for him?

Now, to be told to give up their child just like that–any parent would hesitate.

Carol glanced toward the dazed and vacant Julian, her eyes filled with pain.

But in the end, she turned away without saying a word.

That one look was enough for Julian to understand everything.

It was obvious. He was the one being abandoned.

He lowered his head with a foolish smile, hiding his emotions behind the messy fringe on his forehead.

He understood–they were giving up on him.

It was clear he wasn’t part of their final decision.

Between the company and him, the choice had always been obvious.

The few minutes they spent pretending to hesitate only made Julian feel they were hypocrites.

Why hadn’t he seen it earlier?

Tessa finally loosened her grip on her mother’s arm.

She hadn’t expected her mother to truly make such a ruthless decision for her.

Clearly, she had underestimated her before, assuming she wouldn’t be able to go through with it.

Now, Tessa felt deeply satisfied with her mother’s choice.

Only by sending Julian away could she truly feel at ease.

And that secret–would stay buried forever.

Whether Julian was genuinely insane or just pretending–it no longer mattered.

Once he was sent in, Julian’s fate would no longer be his to decide.

The thought made Tessa even more thrilled inside.

Standing beside her mother, she had to dig her nails hard into her palm just to keep herself from getting too excited.

After all, with so many people were watching, she couldn’t risk giving it all away at the last minute.

Watching the others exchange hesitant glances, Grace sat calmly the sofa, completely composed.

At this point, the choice was in their hands.

But the power always remained in hers.

Grace had always understood that clearly.

That was exactly why she wasn’t worried at all because the ones who should be worried were the people sitting across from her.
