Chapter 562
"And besides, after everything they did to you, I don't want to plan a wedding for a betrayer and a backstabber."
Chloe got it. "Godmother, you're worried this might upset me, right?"
Tara paused, then looked up. Chloe knew Tara inside out after all these years. Tara had always treated her like her own, maybe even better than her own son. Now, with Lucas and Linda having their marriage license, they were officially married. Tara hadn't stirred up trouble before, so her sudden opposition to the wedding planning had to mean something.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone in Riverbrook's high society already knew about Lucas and her. It had been a sore spot for years; it didn't make sense for her to be bothered now.
Tara felt Chloe had seen right through her thoughts. "I really don't want to, and I feel indignant for you. But Linda keeps using her pregnancy as leverage, threatening to end it if there's no wedding. I don't care much for it, but now, at eight months, it's nearly a full life, part of the Moncada bloodline. I can't just ignore that..."
"But I'm worried that holding a wedding for them might make you resent me and the Moncada family, like with the Meadows family."
Tara was on the verge of tears. "I truly see you as my own daughter. If this makes you resent me, I can't bear the thought."
Chloe smiled gently, took Tara's hand, and said sincerely, "I won't."
"Lucas and have parted ways, and
I've moved on. Plus, I'm married

now, with a new life. I'm not resentful about their wedding, not even a little, so you don't need to worry about my feelings."
The situation with Lucas and Linda was pretty much settled. Even if Tara was reluctant, they were husband and wife. Lucas was her son, after all, and she couldn't completely cut ties.
Tara sighed deeply, "I really, truly don't want this, a thousand times over. That Linda, I just can't stand her, thinking of her as the one who wronged you. Anyway, your

godfather and I have decided, if they don't move out after the wedding, we will. We'll leave their child to a
nanny; I won't care for th to a
personally. When we're older, we'll live with Belle, letting them do their thing, out of sight, out of mind."
Chloe laughed softly and reassured her, "Alright, alright, you can live with me too."
Hearing this, Tara felt much better. "You don't come by often, stay for dinner tonight."
"Don't worry, it'll just be us and your grandparents. Lucas took Linda to a business cocktail party, and they won't be back before ten."
Chloe wasn't worried about bumping into Lucas and Linda. She nodded calmly, "Okay."
