Chapter 376

• Before Pedro could make sense of the unfamiliar emotions stirring within him, his gaze shifted toward the grand staircase. There, descending gracefully, were Jacky and Charlse—his godmother and her husband. Charlse held his wife’s hand carefully, guiding her down with tenderness, their bond evident in the way they looked at each other.
• The sight brought an unexpected memory to Pedro’s mind.
• Just that afternoon, he had done the same for Aida, helping her down the stairs. The thought of it made his lips twitch slightly, but before a smile could fully form, he shook his head and smacked his forehead lightly.
