Chapter 255: Relieved
Seeing how the situation had calmed a bit and knowing the three men would need more privacy, Rain quietly slipped away and headed straight to her Aunt Melanie.
She smiled as she approached the balcony on the second floor, where Uncle Ben was sharing a thoughtful breakfast with her aunt.
"Oh, you’re finally here! Come and join your aunt for breakfast," Ben said with a welcoming smile. "I’ll head downstairs to check on the Masters."
Rain nodded appreciatively as he left, settling into the chair next to Aunt Melanie.
"You’re already aware of it?" Aunt Melanie asked softly, the words barely escaping her lips.
Rain nodded and murmured, "Alexander and I found out by accident three weeks ago."
Aunt Melanie gently took her hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. "Oh, dear... I’m so sorry."
Rain felt a rush of emotions as her aunt’s sympathy enveloped her. "It’s been hard," she admitted, her voice shaky. "I just wish things could be different. I don’t want to see them hurt, especially my husband. He’s been carrying so much."
"Oh, sweetheart," Aunt Melanie said, her voice filled with compassion. "You know you’re not alone in this. We’re all here for you. For them. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Just remember that love can be a powerful force, especially during times like these."
