Ines had only been shrewd once, but it happened to be at the worst possible time. She had come to learn about her own situation and was consequently heartbroken, insisting on breaking up with Aiden. Hence, the time Yvonne mentioned when Ines had cried her heart out and dropped out of school was because she had severed all ties with Aiden. Aiden, in turn, had given up everything to stay by Ines' side.
The Quirk family breathed a sigh of relief. In 1. the path of love had been a roller coaster ride, tough on these two young people. Wait, who did Yv e say she had slept with? Could it be that Aiden was so heartbroken that he lost control after drinking and mistook Yvonne for Ines? Was the situation really that cliché?
Alexander reacted swiftly. After all, Isabella had previously mentioned a crucial piece of information- Aiden only had one woman in his life, Ines. Therefore, no matter how eloquent and logical Yvonne's words were, they couldn't change the fact that Aiden had never laid a hand on her.
It seemed as if Isabella had the same thought, unable to hold back her commentary.
Despite the fact that Yvonne was nowhere to be found in his memories of studying abroad, Aiden's first formal introduction to her had already taken place when she was his stepmother. In other words, there's a high chance that this misunderstanding between aunt and nephew was due to Yvonne mistaking someone else for him again. Goodness, that's just incredible. Did she really mistake every man she had been with for Aiden? That's just... well, it's beyond ridiculous. It was fortunate that Ines was simple-minded and easy to appease. Aiden had demonstrated multiple times in her presence that he genuinely disliked children, and that he had only agreed with her previously, leading to a misunderstanding. So, this issue didn't bother him at all. He preferred a world with just the two of them and even feared that a child might compete for her affection. With his sweet talk and persuasive charm, Ines was indeed easily pacified, and they resumed their blissfully foolish romance. The reason why the Deleon family had not yet agreed to the marriage was due to their reservations. During the time the couple was together, the Deleon family had repeatedly made concessions to the Burke family. After all, they were aware that the Burke family held the belief that having many sons brought great fortune and blood ties were crucial. However, if Aiden truly wished to be with Ines, they would have to consider adoption as their only option for children in the future.
The Quirk family believed that the Deleon family was quite reliable.
Alexander speculated that if the Burke family were to discover the truth, they would certainly object to the two of them being together. No wonder Aiden and Ines had spent most of their time abroad. It was their attempt to distance themselves from the control of the Burke family.
The Deleon family were honest folks. What use was it giving benefits to the Burke family, especially when Aiden had a strained relationship with them? If they knew about all the things Aiden had done for Ines, they'd probably be singing the Burke family's praises. They should find an opportunity to remind them in the future, lest these good-hearted people be taken advantage of.
The people of the Quirk family nodded in agreement with Isabella's comments.
Taken aback, Alexander found himself momentarily stunned. He hung onto every word his wife said, so he quickly grasped the implication. What did she mean by 'knowing what Aiden did for Ines? Could it be that Aiden had done something unknown to everyone else? However, Isabella didn't consider this aspect. Hence, no one could hear it.

budding romance with Aiden was continually being ruthlessly suppressed, causing her much distress.
"After he left, I wanted to reach out to him, but my attempts were met with silence. I even started working at Burke Corporation in hopes of seeing him again. However, fate played a cruel trick on me. Ralph took a liking to me and my parents, upon finding out, decided to use me for their own gain. I was no longer able to be with Aiden in an open and honest way. Despite all this, I couldn't let him go. I wanted him to be happy, even if I wasn't the one to bring him that happiness. So, I had no choice but to suppress all my feelings and dutifully play the role of his stepmother, pretending not to know him whenever we crossed paths."
Elijah listened, completely stunned. Yvonne's words were so sincere that Elijah believed her entirely. He hadn't realized his nephew could hide such a secret so well, watching his own father marry the woman he once loved.
He even dared to sleep with a woman who was already a stepmother, resulting in a child.
With the plan of having another plan, they were essentially intending to sustain this illicit relationship.
I always thought this kid was rebellious, but I never expected him to be this audacious.
Elijah ranted on wildly, seemingly forgetting that just mo
