Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You’re A Zillionaire Heiress

Chapter 742:

Lovingly embracing Skyla, Harlee’s voice was a whisper of gratitude.

“Thank you, Mom. I understand that all of you are tough on Rhys out of concern that I might get hurt.”

This marked the first time Harlee had thrown herself into Skyla’s arms since her return to the Sanderson family. While this was a typical moment of affection between a mother and her child, to Skyla, this simple yet tender moment felt extraordinary.

Tears welled up in Skyla’s eyes as her hands hovered, tentative and unsure, above Harlee’s back. Noticing Skyla’s subtle movements, Harlee’s heart skipped a beat. She was taken aback by the impact of such a modest gesture of closeness.

It dawned on Harlee how distant she had been projecting herself when faced with her family, though she never intended for it. Years of maintaining a guarded distance had made the expression of love challenging.

Still, Harlee made an effort to mimic the cozy snuggle she’d seen Tonya showcase with Skyla, akin to a puppy seeking comfort.

Skyla’s pupils widened with emotion, and she enveloped Harlee in a firm embrace, holding her tightly as if to never let go.
