"Aria." Joanna Lawrence grabbed Aria Rowlett's hand, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just want to say that no matter what the rest of the Heath family is like, as long as Brandon likes you and treats you well, that's all that matters. Just like me and Ashton Heath, after we got married, I only visited the Heath Villa occasionally. Whether his family likes me or not, I'm not the one living with them."
"Who the people around you are is what's most important."
Aria Rowlett listened to her say this, and everything became clear.
After a moment of silence, she nodded gently and said, "Hmm, I understand."

The man gently pushed the door open, entered, and again gently shut the door behind him.
