Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 13 Summary
In this chapter, Larissa shocks everyone by asking Sapphira and Neville to be her parents, effectively proposing to be adopted by them. Sapphira reacts with joyous disbelief, while Paxton is outraged and feels humiliated because his daughter is rejecting him in favor of his older brother. Paxton’s anger is fueled by concerns over the family inheritance, as Neville and Sapphira are childless, and this adoption could affect how the Judson fortune is divided.
Leopold mocks Larissa’s request, accusing her of trying to cling to the Judson heiress title, but Larissa firmly asserts that she is the true Judson heiress, not Honora. Honora, meanwhile, is secretly pleased by the proposal because it secures her place in the family and keeps her prospects intact. Even Kiernan considers the possibility, saying the adoption depends on Neville and Sapphira’s willingness.
Sapphira is thrilled by the idea, having always wanted a daughter, and Neville agrees quietly. However, Vivica objects strongly, feeling that Larissa is her daughter and cannot simply call others her parents. Larissa counters by pointing out that Honora, who has no blood ties, is accepted as part of the family. Despite Vivica’s protests, Sapphira embraces Larissa with tears of joy, declaring her as her precious daughter from that day forward, which deeply upsets Vivica.
Chapter 13
The proposal shocked everyone in the room.
For Sapphira, the shock quickly turned to joyous disbelief. “Larissa, what did you just say?”
Larissa repeated herself. “Aunt, I want you and Uncle Neville to be my parents. Would that be okay?”
Paxton, finally snapping out of his stupor, forgot his dislike for his daughter and barked, “Don’t be ridiculous in front of your Grandpa!”
His own daughter was disowning him to claim his older brother as her father! It was a complete humiliation. Where was he supposed to put his face? And beyond that… Neville and Sapphira were childless, which meant the Judson fortune would eventually pass to his branch of the family. But if his daughter officially became their child, who knew how Kiernan would divide the inheritance?
“I’m not being ridiculous, Larissa said seriously.
Leopold sneered. “So that’s your game. You can’t bear to give up the title of a Judson heiress, so you’ll stoop to something as absurd as asking Uncle and Aunt to adopt you.”
“You’re hilarious,” Larissa shot back. “What do you mean, I can’t bear to give it up? I am the Judson heiress. You must be talking about Honora. She’s the one who isn’t a Judson but is clinging on for dear life.”
Honora bristled at the comment but was secretly thrilled. This was the perfect solution. It would guarantee she could stay in the Judson family, and as long as Larissa was officially a Judson daughter, she could still be sent to marry the disabled Haskell.
Even Kiernan was taken aback by the suggestion. After a moment of thought, he said, “It’s not impossible. It would depend on whether Neville and Sapphira are willing.”
Of course Sapphira was willing. She had dreamed of having a daughter her whole life.
Neville saw the ecstatic look on his wife’s face and had already decided to agree.
Before either of them could speak, Vivica objected. “Absolutely not! I carried Larissa for ten months. She is my daughter. How can she call you her parents?”
Honora, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt a new wave of panic. But she quickly regained her composure. She realized that no matter how much affection her mother had for her, the lack of a blood tie would always be a vulnerability.
“Why not?” Larissa taunted. “Honora has no blood ties to you, yet you protect her and she calls you ‘Mom‘ and ‘Dad.”
Vivica stammered, “Th–that’s different… We’ve lived with Honora for twenty years. We have a bond…”
Ignoring Vivica, Larissa looked earnestly at beautiful Sapphira. “Would you and Uncle be willing to be my mother and father?”
Sapphira’s hands trembled. She looked to her husband for guidance. “Neville…”
Neville nodded. “Sapphira, I know you’ve always wanted a daughter. Now, we finally have one.”

Chapter 13
Hearing her husband’s consent, Sapphira burst into tears of joy and hugged Larissa. “My dear child, I will be your mother. From this day on, you are my precious daughter.”
“Sapphira, how could you!” Vivica cried out in protest. Her feelings mirrored her husband’s; she could resent her own daughter, but she couldn’t tolerate her daughter calling someone else ‘Mom.‘ It was a public slap in the face.
