Chapter 689 Chapter 690 In the past, whenever he tried to find a stepmother for Emma, she always reacted strongly and flat-out refused. But now, with someone closer to her age, things were surprisingly different. They even had a lot in common. It seemed Nicholas was genuinely considering keeping Tessa around for the long haul. Still, since Emma was so fond of her right now, it was better to leave that decision for later. There was still time. As long as Tessa remained useful to him, there was no way they'd part ways. If Aurora ever found out about this, she'd probably laugh out loud.

Of course, he was a businessman. They never make a move unless there was something in it for them. Everyone knew that unspoken truth. No one was hoping for kindness or sincerity here. It was all about leverage. And the only reason Tessa was willing to be with Nicholas was because what he could offer far outweighed anything the Waltons ever could. That was exactly why she stuck to him so willingly. Otherwise, knowing Tessa's personality, Aurora was certain there was no way she'd be following around some older man without a good reason. There had to be something in it for her.

No one was that naïve. They were all adults-no one pretended otherwise. Everyone knew the game. Aurora, though, found it ridiculous. A high schooler, getting involved with her classmate's dad? What kind of power did this man really hold? Was he truly that influential? How had she never heard of him before? And how did Tessa find out about him? Just thinking about all of it made Aurora feel like her head was about to explode. She didn't even know what was happening to her anymore. In that moment, Aurora felt with startling clarity that it was as if a part of her memory had been stripped away.

But what exactly was it? She couldn't figure it out. After all this time, after reading through so many versions, she still didn't understand what she was truly here for.

Just then, the thoughts in her mind began to drift like smoke, and the floor beneath her feet started to sway. Only then did her vision sharpen again. She opened her eyes and looked around.

It turned out, she was once again back in that strange, teleportation-like passage. So where was it taking her this time? Aurora was starting to feel a flicker of anticipation. But more than that, it was curiosity toward the unknown that stirred inside her. Where would she end up next? The question made her heart beat faster with intrigue. Still, her mind kept drifting back to Nicholas. And his daughter, Emma. Once she woke up, she would definitely investigate all of it thoroughly-just who exactly was this man? And how had Tessa even met him? Could it really have been through Emma?

But no, that couldn't be it. Tessa and Nicholas clearly knew each other before the Emma connection came into play. Because the moment Tessa found out Nicholas was Emma's father, there wasn't even a flicker of surprise on her face. That alone told Aurora one thing for sure-Tessa had definitely met Nicholas long before any of that came to light. Today's Bonus Offer
