Chapter b461 /bUnwilling Resentment

bThat /bevening, Landon and Tessa arrived together at the Sinir residence.

Because Tessa was coining home, Walter had already asked the house chef to bprepare /bbmany /bbof /bher favorite dishes.

The kitchen had been busy all afternoon.

bAs /bsoon as he heard the sound of a car engine, Walteri–/iwho had been sitting on the couch–got bup /bbright /b

away.

“Is that Tessa? I’m going out to see.” Tessa, really… she hadn’te to see him in so longb. /b

Louis immediately went to support him as they headed outside.

The moment Tessa got out of the car, she saw Walter and Louis standing at the door waiting for them. bShe /brushed over and held Walter’s arm.

“Grandpa, why did youe outside? It’s so hot out here. Wouldn’t it be better to stay inside and brest/bb?/bb” /b

Hadn’t she already promised toe home and have dinner with him?

“I just wanted to see you a little sooner! You little rascal, you haven’te to visit me for so many days- have you already forgotten about me?”

He was getting old. Who knew how much longer he could get away with acting spoiled like thisb? /b

“Grandpa, what are you talking about? How could I ever forget you? I just went to Yalvaria with Landon for a couple of days. We only just got back.”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I was the one who took up her time,” Landon said with a smile.

“Is that so? I thought Tessa didn’t want to see this old man anymore!” Walter said cheerfully.

As long as Tessa was with him, he was always full of smiles and in a great mood.

Winona had been watching from the second floor ever since she heard the engine. Her expression was

twisted.

Everyone used to hate Tessa the most–so why was everyone gathered around her now?

If only she hadn’te back from Falindale!

L knocked and came in. When she saw Winona still standing by the window, she shook her head.

“Winnie, don’t be like this. If you keep working hard, you’ll have your own ce in the world too.”

Her moodtely had been way off. It really couldn’t go on like this.

Seeing that L hade upstairs, Winona moved to sit on the couch nearby.

“Mom, do I really have a future?”

“I heard the Lawson family found some famous foreign doctor to operate on Connor. His leg bseems /bbto /bbe recovering! Look-”

bAt /bbthe /bbmention /bof Connor’s name, Winona felt a bsharp /bpaint bin /bher bchest/bb. /b

b“/bMom, don’t say that name again!” No matter how thick–skinned she was, bhow /bcould bthe /bbhave /bthe nerved bgo /bback bto /bConnor now?

bShe /bwas the one who’d chosen to give up.

Besides, Connor had never loved her.

Even if she did go crawling back to him now, he wouldn’t love her, would he?

So what was the point of saying all this?

“Winnie, you really could try going back. After all, you did save his life.” L truly thought Connor bwas /bba /bgood choice. Now that his leg was healing, he’d likely be Thunder Pack’s sessor bagain/b.

After all these years, he had to still feel something for Winnie, didn’t he?

“Mom, do you think no one else choose me, bso /byou want me to go back to Connor?b” /bWinona basked /bbitterly.

Why was it that Tessa was always surrounded by big shots, while she was left with the ones bTessa /bdidn’t

want?

L sighed. “Winnie, I know you’ve got pride. But in your current situation, Hoping for someone better bthan /bConnor… it’s just not realistic.”

Of course she wished her daughter had better options–but what was the use?

Winona clenched her teeth.

iIt’s /iijust /iinot /iifair/i.

“Alright, it’s dinner time. Let’s

downstairs.”

If they didn’t go soon, Walter might get upset.

“Mom, I’m not hungry. I’m not going.”

“Winnie, don’t be like this. You can’t be so short–sighted. Don’t forget–Tessa isn’t just powerful herself, her boyfriend is Montedra’s Alpha King–Mr. Thorne! If you could fix your rtionship with Tessa, maybe they’d even be willing to help you someday.”
