Brandon and Ashton Heath await their brides as Aria Rowlett and Joanna Lawrence arrive, looking like ethereal fairies. The guests marvel at the unions, noting how the two common women are marrying into the prestigious Heath family. Joanna's parents express pride and a touch of melancholy at her wedding, while Ashton's mother compliments her new daughters-in-law.

At that time, she was just in her early twenties.

She was a young girl who still had fantasies about love and was full of enthusiasm for life.

Although she is quite content now, having found the love she wanted and still passionate about life.

But time flies so fast.

In the blink of an eye, both of her sons had settled down in their own families, and even her two grandsons were now married and starting their own households.

She is truly old now.

"Darren, have you been in touch with Octavia lately?" On such a joyful day, Madam Heath still harbored a trace of regret in her heart.

It is said that a harmonious family leads to prosperous everything.

Yet her eldest son and daughter-in-law had divorced.

Even though Madam Heath had many complaints and resentments towards Lady Octavia, she still did not want a once-complete and happy family to end in divorce.

Moreover, she knew her eldest son’s temperament all too well.

After this divorce, he would never look for another partner.

Madam Heath did not want her eldest son to live the rest of his life alone because she believed that everyone needs a companion, male or female, or else it would be too pitiful to grow old alone.

When Madam Heath mentioned Lady Octavia, Darren Heath’s expression became serious for a few seconds.

"She called yesterday."

"Oh? What did she say?"

"Just asking about some wedding-related matters."

"Sigh." Madam Heath sighed, "Octavia did make a mistake, and almost a big one at that. But I believe she must have genuinely repented by now. If she hadn’t been so stubborn, insisting on making things difficult for Aria and Joanna, you and she wouldn’t have ended up like this today."

Darren pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

"In my opinion, if she truly realizes her mistakes and is willing to change, shouldn’t we still give her a chance?" Madam Heath looked at Darren’s reaction before continuing, "I’m not asking you to accept her and remarry right away."

"But I don’t want you two to be like strangers after the divorce, never having contact again."

"Darren, she was your wife for over twenty years, and she bore you two children. She made a mistake, but it’s not an unforgivable one." Madam Heath said earnestly.

Sitting on the sofa with a hint of drunkenness in her eyes, Lady Octavia held a glass of red wine, her eyes reddened as she sobbed to the maid beside her, "Today is Brandon and Ashton’s wedding, but I, as their mother, am not qualified to attend."

"Do you think I’m pathetic?"

"I’m not even qualified to attend my own sons’ weddings."

"Madam, you should stop drinking." The maid looked worriedly at her, "If you drink any more, you’ll get drunk."

"Good, I want to get drunk." Lady Octavia’s eyes filled with tears as she cried, "When I’m drunk, I won’t feel as sad as I do right now. Do you know, Darren used to love me so much. Ashton and Brandon were also very filial. I have been living a happy and carefree life since I married into the Heath family."

"Though Madam Heath didn’t show much love towards me, she never made things difficult for me either."

"I lived an untroubled life in the Heath family for more than twenty years, and everything was wonderful..."

"Until later on, when Ashton and Brandon got married, they both chose ordinary women as their wives, which I was very dissatisfied with."

"My sons are so outstanding, how could they marry women from ordinary families? I couldn’t accept it. I wanted them to find me daughters-in-law who were matching in social and economic status." As Lady Octavia spoke, tears began to flow from her eyes.
