"Lady Octavia, I think it's better to let it go. Ashton is already married, and he really likes Joanna. If I keep pestering him... it wouldn't be right."
Upon hearing this, Lady Octavia's face changes, "Rebecca, are you... are you giving up? You don't want to fight for Ashton anymore?"
Thinking of Frank Parker, Lady Octavia becomes increasingly anxious.
Rebecca is the daughter-in-law she favors most.
Only Rebecca is worthy of her son.
If Rebecca falls for another man, where would she find such a good and suitable daughter-in-law again?
Rebecca sighs, her eyes downcast, filled with sorrow. "Lady Octavia, it's not that I want to give up. But Ashton is married, what can I do? I can't possibly become the other woman who breaks up his family."
"I'm a Kelloway. I have my own pride and dignity. If I act this way, it won't just be a disgrace to myself, but to the Kelloway family as well. Lady Octavia, I've accepted it now. It's just not meant to be between Ashton and me."
