Edward’s gentle look vanished in a flash. Maybe this was a sore spot for him too.

But since I’d brought it up, there was no way for him to dodge it now.

I took a deep breath and couldn’t help but mock, “Ryan is your nephew. He respects you, looks up to you, but you want to take the woman he used to care about for yourself. He’s bound to lose it. Aren’t you worried he’ll end up hating you?”

Edward’s expression grew more serious. He stayed silent, just listening to me.

“Edward, what we’re doing… it’s just not right,” I said quietly. “We can’t just pretend the rules don’t apply to us.”

A flicker of pain crossed Edward’s face, but he quickly hid it.

“Ryan knows what the Chamberlain family is really like, even better than I do. If he truly loves you, he should realize that without someone powerful to rely on, things won’t go well for you,” Edward replied after thinking it over.

Edward caught the worry on my face, and his own expression soured. He let out a quiet scoff. “Jennings kids aren’t that weak. Relax, he’s not going to do anything drastic.”

But I still couldn’t shake off my worry. I knew Ryan was the type to fight back— giving in and accepting things would crush him. He must be struggling inside right now. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was trying to find a way to break out of the cage he’s trapped in, to defy the rules holding him down.
