It seemed Ashley Grant was right. This was a good opportunity.
Aaron Wyatt was going to confess to her?
'I wonder if she'll accept.'
But Leona Grant had a feeling she would.
'No, I have to get Aaron Wyatt out of the picture. Only I can be with Annabelle Linton on her birthday.'
'Now that I know how I feel about Annabelle Linton, there's no need to hide it anymore.'
He decided he would give Annabelle Linton an unforgettable birthday—and he would do it himself.
The moment Ashley Grant turned to go upstairs, her expression changed instantly.
'Sister-in-law's birthday... Ryan Linton and Kiera Keane will be there too, won't they?'
The thought of them made Ashley Grant's heart clench, and she wearily closed her eyes.
'It looks like I can't be there for my sister-in-law's birthday...'
...
The next day was the weekend, so Leona Grant didn't go to the office.
He'd shooed Ashley Grant out early in the morning, leaving just him and Annabelle Linton at the dining table.
