Tessa’s voice paused briefly before she chuckled softly.
“Isn’t that what you always taught us, Mom?”
Grace fell silent.
Maybe it was time she reconsidered how she viewed this daughter of hers.
“What do you want me to do?”
She wasn’t naïve.
If Tessa had gone this far, she clearly wanted something
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be taking the time to circle around the topic with such care.
Only now did Grace realize–perhaps her eldest daughter wasn’t as simple as she’d always assumed.
The question wasn’t just to clarify Tessa’s intent; it was to see what other surprises she might be hiding.
And in a way, it was also a test–a chance to see how capable she truly was.
Besides, this was the first time in a long while Tessa had shown such initiative, and Grace found herself unexpectedly intrigued.
Hearing her mother’s question, Tessa knew things were about to go her way.
If she could get this far, the rest would unfold with much less resistance.
She understood Grace well.
The moment her interest was piqued, half the battle was already won.
“Mom, I’m already here, aren’t I?” Tessa said with a smile.
“Just give Lucas a call. Ask him about Aurora’s condition, casually.
“And then what?”
Grace still didn’t see the point. Would a simple call reveal Lucas‘ true intentions?
She couldn’t quite grasp what her daughter was aiming for.
Tessa nodded, her tone sincere. “Just trust me this once. Besides, Lucas took Aurora here despite all of us opposing it. That alone should raise questions.”
