Bab 129: An Emotional Mess

Winter doesn't have to earn anyone's favor in that household. 

Even if it's only pretense, she shouldn't bother. It doesn't matter if Cyrus gets disappointed in her all the time or if Grace keeps finding faults in how she does things. Everyone else in the family can also abhor and detest her. Regardless of what they'll do, she'll never let Bianca get what she wants.

She'll never marry for their benefit.

"It's alright, Uncle Cyrus and Aunt Grace. Let Winter be for now. This may have been too sudden for her. Maybe she still has to take it all in," was what she heard Bianca saying before she left the dining hall that morning.

Winter won't fall for it, though.
