Thea didn't intend to cry, but somehow she suddenly felt emotional.
She simply couldn't control it.
However, she really wanted to properly thank her aunt.
"I..." As soon as she spoke, her voice started to tremble.
Her aunt patted her shoulder and hugged her, "Aunt knows. Thea doesn't need to say anything."
"Actually, I didn't feel it's been hard these years at all. Instead, I always felt indebted to you."
"Since your parents left, your uncle and I had to take good care of you and Aaron."
When mentioning Aaron, her aunt's eyes also reddened. "You've been abroad for so many years, I felt uneasy, always worried you might find it difficult to adapt."
"Every time I wanted to visit you, you said it wasn't necessary. I know it's for our sake, but I genuinely missed you."
Due to their status, going abroad was indeed troublesome for them.
Besides the long journey, Thea didn't want them to go through the hassle, so she stopped them from proposing to visit her.
