The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1690:

“There’s always a way out,” Chelsea said softly, echoing Corrine’s words. “But still, I can’t help feeling worried.”

She stood up and moved beside Corrine, gently taking her hand. “Corrine, do you think Jules and Rachel haven’t returned because her grandparents are giving them a hard time?”

Chelsea had always been gentle with her son. She had never once been harsh with Jules. Even when she was furious, she held her tongue. Because of that, Jules grew up bold—like a little prince who feared no one.

Luckily, Jayden and Carl were there to keep him in check.

But now, just thinking that Jules might be in trouble made Chelsea’s heart twist.

She understood this marriage wasn’t one of equals. It made sense for the Astley family to hesitate. All they could hope for was to ease Rachel’s grandparents’ doubts.

Still, as parents, knowing the reason didn’t make it any easier to see your child suffer.

Corrine could feel her aunt’s worry. But there was no easy fix.

“Aunt Chelsea, Jules plays a key part in this matter, so if anyone can resolve this issue, it’s him.” She gave her aunt’s hand a reassuring squeeze. “Trust him. He’s faced trouble before under Grandpa’s roof and always came out fine. Besides, with the bond between him and Rachel, they won’t go too far.”
