Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 277

Chapter 279

Six Years Ago

It was the first year after Evelyn Vance's death.

Aaron still couldn't find his way out of the shadow her passing had cast over him.

In that house, he didn't have anyone he felt close to.

His parents were both busy with their own lives and barely spared him a thought.

Vivian Vance, his other sister, did try to be closer to him, but she also had her own circle of friends.

Besides, Aaron never liked Vivian's so-called best friends. In his eyes, they were shallow, flashy, and dreadfully dull.

Among the Vance family, only Evelyn was different.

She always stayed quietly in her room, but whenever she saw him, she'd drift over and wrap herself around him—never in that noisy, incessant way Serena did, always chattering as if words would run out if she stopped.

Aaron genuinely enjoyed spending time with Evelyn.

In those moments, the house actually felt a little warmer, as if it was home after all.

Losing Evelyn had been a crushing blow.
