CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 884: LET’S SAY THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE

Inside the Carson Family villa, a woman is painting in the garden.

She is intently focused on a few roses in front of her, her hand never pausing as she earnestly writes and draws. Moments later, vivid flowers bloom under her fingertips.

At this moment, a distinguished middle-aged woman walks in.

She looks at Wendy Carson with a somewhat helpless expression, "Wendy, are you painting here?"

"Mother, is there something you need?"

Wendy puts down her pen and paper, looks up at her mother, and shows a gentle smile.

Her features are not stunning, but she carries an extraordinary aura. Her every gesture and movement exude the grace of a noblewoman, more appealing than a woman who is merely pretty at first glance.

Such a woman seems born to be the mistress of a great household.

"Have you really thought it through? Are you sure you want to marry Carter Sharp? You should know that Xavier didn’t do it willingly, and you can’t blame him for what happened."

Wendy gives a bitter smile; she simply can’t get past the hurdle in her heart, which is why she’s turned to someone else.

"Mother, my mind is made up."

Seeing Wendy so resolute, her mother refrains from further persuasion, though she sighs softly in her heart. Such things might happen again in the future, even for the Sharp Family, which has many suitors.

In that case, she would still prefer her daughter to find a man she understands well and is in mutual harmony with.

She and Xavier Keating were truly in love, and such challenges should be faced together.

However, Wendy is rather stubborn; she values emotions highly and cannot tolerate even a hint of blemish.

"I came to you for something."

Wendy’s main profession is Hypnotist, with a secondary focus on perfumery, and she is quite renowned in those circles.

"What is it?"

"Even though you and Xavier have fallen out, the Concentration Incense you previously prepared for Mandy should still go to the Keating Family, right?"

Initially, Wendy was creating a Concentration Incense to soothe Mandy’s body, but it was shelved due to the incident.

Upon hearing this, Wendy frowns deeply. She adjusts the incense according to the user’s conditions, and if she continues to make incense for Mandy, she will inevitably need to go to the Keating Family.

Seeing Wendy fall silent, her mother sighs, saying, "If you’re unwilling, just forget it."

After some thought, Wendy eventually compromises and says, "Alright, contact the Keating Family and let them know I’ll go over, just to honor the bond between our two families."

"But I can’t guarantee that using this incense will wake Mrs. Keating; I can only try my best."

"Alright, I’ll go tell the Keating Family now."

When her mother hears Wendy agree, she breathes a sigh of relief and quickly stands up to leave.

With only five days left until Wendy and the Sharp Family heir’s wedding, her mother, although not wanting any incidents, still hopes Wendy will end up with Xavier Keating.

Sending Wendy over one more time is a last attempt for Xavier to hold onto her. If Wendy can change her mind, that would be ideal.

If not, the Sharp Family would suffice.

Watching her mother’s departing figure, Wendy lets out a self-deprecating smile. How could she not see through her mother’s intentions, but she had already decided.

Once she makes a decision, she won’t look back.

Wendy gently closes her eyes, hiding the pain underneath. She takes a deep breath to calm the sourness in her heart.

Xavier Keating... let’s just say they were never meant to be.
