**Chapter 499**<\/p>\n
Agatha had traversed a life filled with challenges and obstacles. For her, the journey had never been straightforward, especially as a woman navigating a world that often felt unkind. Now, as she looked at her grandson, she felt a deep-seated desire for Sydney to avoid the same tumultuous road she had walked. It pained her to think that the man at the center of this turmoil was, in fact, her own flesh and blood.<\/p>\n
Julian, ever perceptive, grasped the weight of his grandmother\u2019s concerns. Her words were not a condemnation of Sydney\u2019s pregnancy; rather, they stemmed from a genuine fear that one day, Sydney might harbor resentment towards her for the decisions that had led them to this point. Agatha worried that the child could become a wedge, a barrier between them, and that thought gnawed at her heart.<\/p>\n
Yet, Julian found himself untouched by such fears. The idea of standing idly by and witnessing the woman he cherished struggle as a single mother\u2014or worse, the possibility of her marrying someone else\u2014seemed far more daunting than the so-called \u201cproblem\u201d that lay before them. In his eyes, there had always been only one person who mattered: Sydney.<\/p>\n
With a voice that resonated with both conviction and solemnity, he declared, \u201cGrandma, I am absolutely certain. I\u2019ve never entertained the thought of marrying anyone else. For me, as long as she is herself, nothing else holds significance.\u201d<\/p>\n
He had shared this sentiment with Sydney just a few days prior, and it remained true\u2014his heart only belonged to her, as she was.<\/p>\n
Agatha\u2019s expression softened, a flicker of relief and pride illuminating her features.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it appears that bad genes don\u2019t always pass down,\u201d she remarked with a small sigh, her tone lightening. \u201cAt least you and your father didn\u2019t inherit his.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201chis\u201d she referenced could only point to Elijah Sterling, Julian\u2019s late grandfather\u2014a man whose power was rivaled only by his capriciousness.<\/p>\n
Julian raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk dancing on his lips. \u201cThat\u2019s because your superior genes were far too powerful, Grandma. They obliterated every trace of his less desirable traits.\u201d<\/p>\n
She snorted, her eyes glinting with amusement as she saw through his playful banter. \u201cYou\u2019ve got a knack for sweet-talking me, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Narrowing her gaze, she added with a mock seriousness, \u201cAlright, out with it. What do you need my help with this time?\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian didn\u2019t bother to play coy. \u201cActually, there is something I\u2019d like to discuss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her brows knitted together, a look of concern washing over her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026\u201d She poked his arm with her finger, her frown deepening with each poke. \u201cAre you sure this isn\u2019t pushing things too far? Ugh, give me a moment to think!\u201d<\/p>\n
Before he could offer her another sugar-coated line, she swiftly loaded the dishes into the dishwasher, grabbed her well-worn canvas bag, and made a hasty retreat.<\/p>\n
\u2018This kid! Every time he starts buttering me up, I know it means trouble is brewing.\u2019<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a white Audi zoomed through a green light, veering sharply into the Haven parking lot. Inside, the atmosphere was thick with unspoken tension, crackling like electricity in the air.<\/p>\n
In the passenger seat, Raymond\u2019s expression was dark and taut, each line of his body radiating irritation.<\/p>\n
Dinner had been an absolute disaster; he felt as though he had paid for the misfortune of enduring it. Glen, that insufferable punk, had somehow managed to keep tabs on every detail of Tiffany\u2019s life despite being abroad for years.<\/p>\n
At the dinner table, the two had engaged in conversation as if they were the closest of friends, their words flowing effortlessly.<\/p>\n
Whenever confusion flickered across Raymond\u2019s face, Glen had eagerly chimed in, \u201cMr. Hutton, didn\u2019t Tiff mention that? It was during her early internship\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
That internship had coincided precisely with the period when he and Tiffany had called it quits. They had avoided speaking for months, both too stubborn to reach out.<\/p>\n
If he had been oblivious to her life, fine. But did that smug fool really need to sound so self-satisfied about it?<\/p>\n
Raymond\u2019s patience had finally snapped.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe certainly shared a lot with you,\u201d he had interjected coldly. \u201cFeeling proud of yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n
One sharp jab led to another, and soon Tiffany found herself unable to bear the escalating tension as the two men clashed across the table.<\/p>\n
By the time dinner wrapped up, Glen had indulged in a few drinks and casually asked Tiffany for a lift, claiming it was on her way. Naturally, she hadn\u2019t declined.<\/p>\n
And naturally, Raymond had followed suit, even claiming the passenger seat for himself.<\/p>\n
When Tiffany pointed out that Raymond\u2019s place wasn\u2019t on her route, he blurted out that he was staying at Haven that night, conveniently located right across from her apartment and much closer than Glen\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Now, as he watched his temper flare yet again, Tiffany turned to him, her voice flat and unyielding. \u201cWhat? You wouldn\u2019t even let me talk to Glen when we were dating. And now it\u2019s still an issue?\u201d<\/p>\n
Since their university days, Raymond had bristled at the sight of Glen.<\/p>\n
To him, her words felt like a direct challenge. His tone turned icy. \u201cWhen we were dating, I couldn\u2019t stop you from laughing and chatting with him. Do you think I can stop you now?\u201d<\/p>\n
The implication was unmistakable\u2014an accusation that she had always been too close to another man, even during their relationship.<\/p>\n
Tiffany\u2019s lips curled into a sharp, humorless smile. \u201cIf you knew you couldn\u2019t stop me, then why keep asking for trouble?\u201d<\/p>\n
The car glided into a parking space and came to a halt. She unbuckled her seatbelt, retrieved her bag from the back seat, and began to exit the vehicle.<\/p>\n
But Raymond was quick to follow, taking two swift strides to close the distance between them. He grasped her arm firmly, a wave of restrained heat radiating from his chest.<\/p>\n
When she turned back, drawn by his grip, her striking features remained calm, devoid of any visible emotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat now, Mr. Hutton?\u201d she inquired coolly, her gaze steady and unwavering.<\/p>\n
As the chapter draws to a close, the emotional landscape of Agatha, Julian, and their intertwined lives begins to crystallize.
