Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 959

The hard lines of the man's face immediately softened, a look of deep satisfaction and pleasure in his eyes.

As always, his Ana put him first.

He pressed a soft kiss to her temple. “I'm not that petty,” he murmured.

Anastasia felt a wave of relief wash over her. “Then…?”

“Since you care about this friend, it's only natural that I accept him as well,” he explained.

Anastasia was filled with a mix of gratitude and guilt, but before she could speak, Harrison anticipated her thoughts. He gently stroked her hair. “You don't need to feel guilty. I don't care about his identity. Whether he's an illegitimate son or the son Susan had with her ex-husband, it makes no difference to me.”

It was just as Anastasia had sensed before; he'd never truly seen Carter. Now, he was finally acknowledging the boy, but only because Anastasia had acknowledged him as a friend.

And since his Ana treasured this friendship, he would never do anything to make things difficult or awkward for her.

Accepting Carter was a small matter for him. From what he'd seen so far, the boy seemed decent enough. He just hoped the young man wouldn't let his Ana down in the future.

With Harrison's explicit approval, Carter's status within the Lancaster estate shifted overnight. By the next day, even the servants spoke to the young man with a newfound attentiveness and respect.

Harrison had mentioned his intentions to Marina beforehand, and she had expressed a similar sentiment. She felt nothing in particular for Carter; she didn't dislike the boy, but given that his mother was Susan, it was impossible for her to feel any real warmth or affection for him. Still, she had no objections.

Now that she and Ryan were divorced, she was technically no longer part of the Lancaster family. However, her bond with Lady Lancaster, forged over years as a daughter-in-law, was as strong as that of a mother and daughter. With her beloved son and daughter-in-law also here, she still visited often.

This day, hearing that Lady Lancaster was feeling unwell, she made time in her schedule to visit.

Lost in thought, she hurried through the entrance without looking and collided with someone coming out.
