Looking at Grace in front of her, Elara thought, 'A divorced woman? Could she be talking about Lysander's mother?'

Curious, she asked, "So, you're connected to Wyatt too?"

Grace glanced at Elara and said, "Our family used to be well-off. Marrying into the Kerwin family was actually marrying down for me. I used to work at a TV station, and I was quite the beauty back then had plenty of suitors. 'When Wyatt's family was looking for a bride for him, I was among the candidates."

"You went there on your own?" Elara asked.

For a moment, Grace froze. Many candidates had gone, and she was just one of them, but Elara's question left her feeling awkward. She shot a glare at Elara, huffed, and fell silent. Natalie looked between Grace and Elara, then said to Elara, "Let's step outside and talk."

Elara knew Natalie was worried Grace might get under her skin, but her curiosity about Lysander's mother's story only grew.

Instead of leaving, Elara turned to Grace and asked, "So Wyatt didn't choose you and ended up marrying a divorced woman? What's the real story there? Why not fill me in?"

Harold always discouraged Elara from being with Lysander but never explained why.

Grace gave Elara an indignant look and had a problem with her first sentence. "What do you mean 'Wyatt didn't choose me'? I was the one who didn't want to marry him! Thank goodness I didn't."

"So what happened with his wife, then? Tell me, Mrs. Kerwin. You're the best person to ask... I'm sure you wouldn't mind sharing, right?" Elara coaxed.

Grace's mood visibly improved at Elara's flattery and she said, "Wyatt met Yessenia when she was already married."

"What?" Elara was surprised.
