Capítulo 98: He had abandoned them.

'His partner is not an object which will be used to gain profits.'

When Maya heard these words, she felt touched. It was as if now, she had a sense of responsibility to handle.

Sometime ago, why was she having the thoughts that Aiden and herself could never be together? If Aiden's first response was so confident, then she should also be confident about it, shouldn't she? 

Riely was still saying something but Maya cut her in between, "What if I try to make myself better?" 

Riely smiled internally, she really saw her previous self in Maya.

Several years back, the then matriarch of the Smith family; Ethan's mother who was also her mother in law, had asked her the same things.

She had told Riely to choose someone else for herself. Being a part of the Smiths was not an easy task.

With what you would call a simple relationship, came a huge responsibility as well.
