Chapter 702
She didn’t even know what to do anymore.
After all, everything she had experienced was real.
She couldn’t forgive the past on behalf of the one who had suffered.
If little Aurora knew that the grown–up version of her forgave it all so easily, would that really be right?
Aurora pressed her lips tightly and continued walking step by step.
On both sides of the tunnel, many scenes showed Grace treating Tessa with overwhelming kindness–so much so that it clearly crossed into favoritism.
Aurora’s heart, once filled with pain, had now turned numb
She had come to understand that if someone didn’t like her, no matter how hard she tried to please them, they still wouldn’t like her.
So, there was no point in caring about it. It wasn’t necessary.
Besides, Grace wasn’t so bad to her now.
Compared to other mothers, she could be considered decent
For some reason, Aurora now saw things much more clearly.
She walked slowly forward alone.
Maybe because she was seeing everything from the outside now, the images felt merely familiar.
After seeing it so many times, it no longer stirred anything in her.
It was like she really was just an outsider.
So, these things didn’t affect her much anymore.
Aurora steadied her emotions and continued walking ahead.
The images on both sides began to slow down, almost as if they had sensed the shift in her mood.
After Aurora learned that her parents didn’t have a good relationship, she no longer felt that curious about the dynamics between them.
Instead, what she really wanted to know was–was Tessa truly her biological sister?
If she was, then Aurora had clearly seen Grace holding her when she was born.
And William had been right there too.
If that were the case, then why did Grace treat her and Tessa so differently?
Was it really just favoritism?
Aurora still couldn’t believe that.
It was like how people say children are the fruit of love between parents.
If she was never loved, then why give, birth to her just to make her suffer?

Aurora genuinely didn’t understand, nor did she know how to make sense of it.
After all this time, she still couldn’t figure out what Grace really meant.
Though things weren’t as extreme now as they were when she was little, compared to how Grace treated Tessa, Aurora still felt like she didn’t matter at all.
She pressed her lips together, staring unblinkingly at the images in front of her.
She wanted to know what she truly meant to Grace.
If she was really her biological child, then why was she treated like that? What had all those years been for?
Was she just a joke?
The thought stirred a quiet fury in Aurora’s chest. Her hand at her side slowly curled into a fist.
She couldn’t even begin to explain how she was feeling–it was just incredibly complicated.
Just as her emotions began to surge, she saw a particular image.
It made her stop in her tracks.
Aurora froze, not quite understanding what it meant.
She didn’t even know what to make of Grace’s actions anymore.
That night, when she was curled up alone at the edge of the bed, Grace quietly entered her room, moving so carefully as if afraid to wake her.
Seeing that, Aurora was stunned.
When had Grace ever been this cautious around her?
