Connor remained calm throughout. After Allyson stopped talking, he tightened his grip on Marissa's hand. He said solemnly, "Grandma, Aunt Allyson, I feel extremely fortunate to marry the woman next to me." Allyson's eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you just say, Connor?" Connor explained clearly, "Aunt Allyson, you were right. I resisted strongly when Grandma tried to makemarry Tiffany and felt upset. I was unhappy in my marriage. But now-" He turned to look at Marissa, a sweet smile spreading across his face. "I'm happy. I won't divorce her."

Why would I force you into a bad marriage?" Connor smiled and chose not to say more. He felt truly grateful to his grandmother. Arabella had been adamant about him marrying Tiffany, even threatening her own life. If not for that, he wouldn't have ended up marrying Marissa, such a remarkable woman.
Arabella turned to Allyson with a smile. "Allyson, as you can see, I'm not forcing Connor or preventing him from getting a divorce. He doesn't want to." Allyson was still in shock and struggled to collect her thoughts. Arabella's words snapped her back to reality. Looking at Connor, she asked, "Connor, how can you-" Allyson wanted to ask how he could have fallen for such a dreadful woman but stopped herself. After Connor had expressed his love for his wife, she didn't want to hurt his pride.
Connor beamed at her. "Aunt Allyson, I know you've always cared for me. But the details of my relationship are our own. I can handle my marriage. Please don't worry." Allyson still looked concerned.
After taking a moment to compose herself, she turned to Marissa and asked, "Tiffany, what's going on between you and Xander?" Marissa was still reeling from Connor's unexpected declaration. Although he had confessed his feelings for her in private, she hadn't anticipated that he would openly defy his aunt for her.
Allyson's question snapped Marissa back to the present. "It's a misunderstanding," she replied almost reflexively. "A misunderstanding?" Allyson retorted with a sneer. "You say that, but what about the breaking news online?" News online? Confused, Marissa pulled out her phone to check the news and discovered the rumors about her and Xander.
