Chapter 504: Rachel absorbed her words in silence, squeezing Carol's hand in understanding. "I understand." She couldn't imagine any future scenathat would force Brian into such a difficult position again.

"But if he ever betrays you, if he has an affair, you must tell me," Carol said firmly, her eyes locking with Rachel's. "I will stand by you, no matter what." Rachel nodded, a quiet appreciation in her gaze. "Thank you, Carol," she said, her voice full of gratitude. “I'm fortunate to have you on my side." "Of course," Carol replied firmly, her tone leaving no room for doubt. “I'll always support you. And as for Tracy, I can promise you she will never marry Brian. As long as I'm around, she doesn't stand a chance." With that, Carol cast Brian a pointed glance.

Brian quickly explained, "Grandma, you're overthinking it." Satisfied, Carol turned to Rachel. “Did you hear that?" Rachel gave a gentle smile and nodded. "Yes, I heard." With Brian's cooperation and knowing it would please Carol, Rachel played along, her warmth matching the calm atmosphere. It was important to make Carol happy, and she was more than willing to do so.

After dinner, they accompanied Carol on a leisurely walk through the garden. The peacefulness of the evening surrounded them, and Rachel stayed close, holding Carol's left arm while Brian reached out to take her right, their steps in harmony.

Carol laughed softly, pushing Brian away. "Why are you clinging to me? Go hold your girlfriend's hand instead.” If Brian didn't take Rachel's hand now, it would feel off, even suspicious. He glanced at her, silently asking for her cooperation.

Rachel, catching his eye, gave a subtle nod in agreement.

With a playful grin, Brian said, "Alright, since you don't need me, I'll hold my girlfriend's hand." And with that, he gently took Rachel's hand in his.

For a brief moment, Rachel was stunned. His words felt so natural and convincing that they almost blurred the line between pretense and reality.

Once their walk was finished, they helped Carol back to her room. As they turned to leave, Carol unexpectedly spoke up. "It's getting late. Why don't you both stay the night and have breakfast withbefore heading off to work tomorrow?" Brian and Rachel exchanged surprised glances, caught off guard by the sudden request.

Noticing their shock, Carol smiled. "What's the matter? Don't you want to have breakfast with me?" Brian quickly responded, eager to avoid any discomfort for Rachel. "It's not that. We've got a meeting tomorrow," he explained, giving Rachel a subtle look to ensure she was okay.

Carol's expression immediately shifted, her shoulders slumping in defeat. In that moment, she looked almost vulnerable, her disappointment evident. "Alright, I understand," she said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "If you've got work, I won't keep you."

Seeing Carol's bright expectations falter, Rachel couldn't bear it any சிரி longer. "Carol, l'Estay and have breakfast with you tomorrow,” she said softly, her voice reassuring.

Brian, relieved by Rachel's willingness, quickly added, "I'll ask Ronald to adjust the meeting time. There's always room for breakfast with my grandma."
