Chapter 4930
Aitana knew her elders only worried because they cared. Still, she wasn’t ready to be distracted by romance. Her career had just stabilized, and she wanted to stay focused.
More importantly, she simply hadn’t met a man who could make her heart believe again.
She couldn’t say for sure what kind of person Alex truly was. They hadn’t known each other long, and their meetings were mostly about his home renovations. From what she’d seen, he seemed polite, grounded, and respectful—but whether he was the right person for her was another question entirely.
And his identity as a York made her keep her imagination in check. She wasn’t the type to chase unrealistic dreams.
Second Aunt Pollock could sense that it wasn’t time yet—for Aitana or for Alex, who hadn’t confessed his feelings either. So she spoke gently, picking up from where Aitana had left off.
“You put too much of yourself into that last relationship,” she said softly. “And look how it ended. You were devastated, Aitana. You couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. You even took medicine in secret just to rest a little—and it broke our hearts to see you like that. We were so afraid you’d stop believing in happiness altogether.”
