Madam Heath reflects on her past and her eldest son Darren's divorce from Octavia, expressing regret and a desire for reconciliation. Meanwhile, Octavia, unable to attend her sons' wedding, drowns her sorrows in alcohol, lamenting her past choices and the circumstances that led to her estrangement from her family.

I hope the Heath family gets better and better. I’m doing this all for their own good..."

"Did I do something wrong? I wholeheartedly had their best interests in mind, but why does it seem that everyone is blaming and resenting me in the end? They all say I was wrong." Tears streamed down her cheeks, wetting her face. "Tell me, did I really do something wrong?"

"Now I have nothing. My husband, my two sons..."

"My Lady." The maid couldn’t bear seeing Lady Octavia like this, crying every day. She squatted down by her side and gently consoled her. "It’s true that you want the best for the two young masters, but perhaps the way you show your love to them was misguided."

"Misguided?" Lady Octavia blinked, already slightly intoxicated, her eyes looking a bit hazy. "How did I go wrong?"

The maid thought about it and carefully replied, "I once heard a saying. A person likes to eat bananas, but you bought them many apples instead, claiming that those apples were the biggest and most expensive ones you could find for them. However, they like bananas, not apples. No matter how many or how good the apples you buy for them are, they won’t like them."

"Your love for the two young masters is like giving them many apples when they actually like bananas."

"What you provide them is not what they need. It might even bring them more trouble."

Lady Octavia was dumbstruck.

"You may think bananas are not as good as apples, but for the two young masters, what suits them and what they like is what’s important. If you force them to change their preferences, they will surely resist and even begin to avoid you."

"Bananas, apples..." Lady Octavia listened to the analogy and was stunned for a long time.

"My Lady, please stop drinking. I’ll go to the kitchen and make some hangover soup for you." The maid took the wine glass from Lady Octavia’s hand and gently placed it on the coffee table. "You haven’t eaten much today. I’ll have some porridge cooked and prepare a few light side dishes for you. No matter what, you have to take care of your body."

"The two young masters are your own flesh and blood. As long as you can understand some things and change your original ideas, make up for your mistakes with sincerity, they will eventually forgive you."

The maid got up and left.

Lady Octavia sat on the sofa, pondering the maid’s words over and over again.

On Seville Island.

Joanna Lawrence thought she was the only one nervous about her wedding with Ashton Heath. But when she was led by Gary White to stand before her groom, and her hand was held tightly by Ashton at that moment, Joanna realized that the seemingly calm and composed man in front of her was no different from her.

The man’s palm was sweating, damp and warm.

As soon as he held her hand, Joanna felt the warmth and moisture emanating from his palm.

She paused, surprised, and looked up at him.

The man’s profile was incredibly handsome, just like the first time she saw him, with his deep-set eyes, prominent nose, thin and attractive lips, as well as his distinct and three-dimensional facial contours.

Today, he seemed a little different.

He was so... captivating to Joanna.

He was wearing a white tailcoat with a bow tie, and his hair was combed back from his forehead.

With his forehead not concealed by stray strands of hair, his beautiful brows and eyes were fully exposed.
