Olina's face grew even more sour at the thought of having to appease Cecilia in the future.

She knew her son was a man of deep affections and loyalty.

The way he had loved Ruby for over a decade despite her indifferent treatment was testament to his steadfast nature when it came to the matter of love.

In the past, his love was for Ruby, and Olina had liked Ruby too. Owen's devotion to Ruby was something she had encouraged, considering his loyalty to love a virtue.

But now, it had become his flaw.

Even now, Olina found it impossible to warm up to Cecilia.

Yet Cecilia had become the apple of Owen's eye, and Olina had no choice but to accept.

Cecilia had hidden herself in the restroom, taking her clothes with her to change but hadn't done so.

Owen's words to his mother had reached Cecilia's ears as she hesitated inside.

She feared that Owen might give up everything for her.

That would only fuel the fires of discord between her and her future mother-in-law.

Standing before the mirror, Cecilia examined her reflection.

Megan's insults were completely uncalled for.
