Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1045

Florence smiled gently, "I get why you're eager to head back to Harmonia Country. You're probably longing to pay your respects to Grandpa and Uncle, right?

I understand the hardship you're feeling.

Since you've made up your mind, I'll accompany you back. I promise to keep you safe and be by your side throughout the journey.

Don't worry!"

Parisa paused, her gaze slightly stalled, not expecting Florence to suddenly become so understanding and supportive. She turned back, a subtle inquiry in her glance, and smiled lightly, "Florence, I'm glad you can see where I'm coming from. But what made you change your mind all of a sudden? You've been quite upset with me before."

Florence hesitated, trying to mask the discomfort on her face.

Was there a hidden meaning in Parisa's words?

She carefully responded with a smile, "I had a chat with my best friend this afternoon. At first, I was really venting about how you couldn't understand my worries, but she advised me not to fight with you, Mom. It made me realize my mistake. Since you want to go back home, I'll support you.

Why should we argue, after all? You're the most important person to me, and vice versa."

Saying this, she leaned in for a warm hug with Parisa.

Parisa patted her pale wrist gently, nodding, her eyes deep in thought. This morning, Florence was against the idea, fearing the trip back home. Now, her change of attitude seemed too sudden. Was there something hidden behind this shift?

But the housekeeper mentioned that Florence had been very well-behaved all afternoon, showing no signs of unusual behavior. Perhaps, Parisa was being overly suspicious?

Now, Florence seemed calm, not bringing up Bryce anymore.

Was it a spur-of-the-moment decision to help Bryce?

Parisa frowned deeply, softening her tone, "I'm relieved that you're supporting my decision to visit home. Don't worry about it anymore, let's have dinner. I'll give Erik a call." With that, Parisa stood up and headed to the upstairs study.

Florence stood still behind the sofa for a moment, squinting her eyes.
