When Carter heard my words, a spark of joy lit up his dark eyes as if fireworks had exploded, illuminating

his face.

"Are you serious?" he asked cautiously,

His uncertainty tugged at my heartstrings...

In the past, Luke had never paid much attention to my feelings. As the most cherished grandson of the Bolton family, he had always been showered with affection and attention, particularly from Jeffrey, who placed all the family's hopes on him.

Luke and I grew up together, and our relationship was common knowledge. Life had always been easy for him-everything he wanted was within reach.

I drove straight to my mom's place. As I stepped inside, I was greeted by the sound of smashing objects and Sadie's screeching voice.

"You witch! You stole my dad and made him ignore me! If I can't live a good life, neither will you!"
