Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 545
Confronted with Vivica’s accusations, Neville shot back, “How dare you point your finger at me? If your family hadn’t caused constant chaos over that adopted daughter of yours, Honora, would Dad have been under so much stress?”
“Dad, don’t waste your breath on her. She’s too foolish to reason with,” Larissa said calmly, before turning to Vivica with a half–smile. “Don’t worry, Vivica. Neither my father nor I will upset my grandfather. We’ll just focus on making the rest of your lives a living hell.”
Did Larissa just call her foolish?! Vivica was about to erupt when Leopold interjected, “That’s enough, Mom. Can you please just say a little less?”
Hearing the impatience in her son’s voice, Vivica fell silent for his sake. But seeing her own daughter act so disrespectfully infuriated her. She walked away, deciding it was better not to look at them. Leopold turned to Larissa with a bitter smile. “Larissa, that’s just how Mom is. Don’t take it to heart.” “Aren’t you just like her?” Larissa replied. “Finley takes after his father, and you take after your mother. It’s clear you’re all related.”
Leopold was speechless. Unwilling to subject himself to any more of her scorn, he gave another pained smile and retreated to where his mother was waiting.
Paxton clapped his older son on the shoulder. “Whatever you want to say, wait until your grandfather is here. There’s no point in trying to talk to her now.”
“I understand,” Finley said, pulling his gaze away from Larissa and following his father toward Vivica and Leopold.
“This is the situation. And Dad expects us to reconcile? Is that even possible?” Neville was so exasperated he almost laughed.
Sapphira sighed. “Neville, Vivica has a point. Your father’s health really is fragile. Let’s try not to say anything to upset him tonight.”
“Of course I don’t want to upset him,” Neville replied with a helpless sigh. “But does that mean we have to let Larissa suffer for it?”
Larissa smiled. “Dad, I’m the head of the Judson family now. You don’t have to worry about me being taken advantage of. As long as my grandfather’s request tonight isn’t too outrageous, I’ll do my best to humor him until he passes.”
“We’ll see,” Neville said.
Twenty minutes later, a crowd of travelers began to emerge from the arrivals gate. Among them were Kiernan and his butler, Jett.
Paxton’s sharp eyes spotted his father immediately. He hurried over with his wife and sons, a wide smile plastered on his face. “Dad!”
“Grandpa,” Finley and Leopold echoed obediently.
Kiernan looked at Paxton and noted that he seemed to have aged significantly since their last

meeting, the lines on his face deeper than before. It appeared life outside the Judson family had not been kind to him.
Kiernan sighed internally.
His gaze then fell on his grandson Finley. Leopold had told him the boy was living in a state of constant torment, and indeed, he looked utterly drained.
Kiernan’s heart ached, and he sighed once more.
However, he showed little emotion to Paxton’s family, instead walking silently over to Neville’s side.
“Dad,” Neville and Sapphira said in unison.
Kiernan smiled and nodded, his eyes finally settling on his granddaughter. He watched her expression carefully, trying to gauge her reaction to Paxton’s family being there.
Sensing his gaze, Larissa offered a sweet smile. “Grandpa.”
Seeing her smile, a weight lifted from Kiernan’s shoulders. His granddaughter didn’t seem to be showing any overt hostility or disgust toward Paxton’s family, which brought him a great sense of relief.
