Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 817:

But since Tiffany walked away from the wedding, Arabella knew it was time to let that dream go.

Meanwhile, Arabella noticed how deeply Connor adored Marissa, and her own affection for Marissa had grown just as strong as it had been for Tiffany. Now, more than anything, she just wanted the family to stay together.

She had once believed that Lawrence and Lindsay weren’t truly part of the Daniels bloodline, yet she cared for them just the same. Now that she knew they were, her love for them only blossomed further.

If Marissa could step into the role of their mother, and they could all live together under one roof like a true family, it would be nothing short of perfect.

Yet, Marissa remained resolute, stating with finality that she had never lost an egg and that Lawrence and Lindsay weren’t her biological children. Though Arabella’s voice trembled with disappointment, Marissa stood firm, unwilling to waver.

After a brief pause, she rose to her feet.

“Grandma, Lawrence and Lindsay are part of the Daniels family. They belong here with you. I’m at peace with it. I’ve got some important business in Cher Snain today, so I’ll be leaving the kids in your care. noveldrama

Rita will stay to help watch over them. When I return in a few days, I’ll be finalizing my divorce from Connor and leaving the Daniels Manor for good. Goodbye, Grandma.”

Without another word, Marissa turned on her heel and walked away.

Arabella watched Marissa’s retreating figure, her lips parted as if she might call her back. But she hesitated, knowing there was no turning Marissa around once her mind was made up.

Connor sat in stunned silence for a moment before bolting out after her. By the time he caught up, Marissa was already straddling her motorcycle, helmet on, and engine humming. She cast him a cool glance. “If you’re here to talk me out of this, Mr. Daniels, save your breath.”

Connor sighed softly and asked, “What are you going to do in Cher Snain?”

Marissa met his gaze and told him the truth. “I’m going to retrieve a chip. It holds information about my father.”

Connor’s eyes widened in shock. “Your father?”

Marissa nodded before telling him everything about Q. She had never mentioned her search for Tiffany before, but now that Tiffany was the mother of his children, it felt crucial to lay it all bare. It was also his duty to bring Tiffany home now.

Connor understood the need to find Tiffany. Though Tiffany was practically a stranger to him, their DNA had been used to create Lawrence and Lindsay, and he felt a deep sense of duty to save her for the kids. It wasn’t about some old flame; it was about being responsible to the kids.

As he absorbed Marissa’s story, his brow furrowed. “I’m coming with you to Cher Snain.”

“That’s not happening,” Marissa shot back. “I’ve got this under control. I’ve already mapped out a plan to save Tiffany. All I need you to do is stay here, wait for me to return, and help me see it through.”

Her plan was to trade herself for Tiffany, but she wasn’t ready to share that part with Connor yet. The thought of Tiffany being infected with a new virus weighed heavily on her, and as her gaze fell on Connor, her heart sank even deeper
