"No one can hurt you."
"But this person is your mom..."
"If she's my mom, she can't hurt you at all. You are her daughter-in-law, and you are also carrying her grandchild."
A bitter smile floated to Aria's lips.
It's true, what he said, but when did Lady Octavia ever truly treated her as a daughter-in-law?
But she didn't. Never once.
After all, in Lady Octavia's eyes, she was a scheming woman from a humble background who deliberately seduced her son, seeking marriage into a wealthy family to elevate her social class. How could someone like her become her daughter-in-law?
"But now, she is indeed doing things that hurt me." Aria had now realized that whatever she does, Lady Octavia would always be unhappy with her and refuse to acknowledge her as a daughter-in-law.
Before, as Brandon was kind to her, and since she had married into the Heath family, and expecting their child, she thought to live a peaceful life with him.
She didn't care much about Lady Octavia.
