My Guardian Married My Sister But I’m His Alpha Chapter 33
Francesca was silent for a few seconds.
She ran a hand through her hair, an old nervous habit.
“Chiara, after you left with Sterling last night, the atmosphere at home was terrible.”
“Grandpa and the elders were in the study for hours. Riverbend also lodged a formal objection with the Council.”
She sighed. “I spent half the night trying to calm everyone down. I told them you’ve never liked people arranging your life for you.”
Chiara looked at her, her expression unreadable.
Even now, Francesca sounded so sincere.
As if she had really come to clean up Chiara’s mess.
“Francesca, what about Tucker? He has a child, and his registration isn’t even clear. You wanted me to sign an agreement with a man like that, and you call that being for my own good?”
Francesca’s hand slipped from her cup and fell into her lap.
“Chiara, Tucker was my mistake. I truly didn’t know.”
She looked up, her eyes pleading. “But don’t blame the family for it. Griffin is worried about you, too. After you left yesterday, he stood out in the garden for a long time.”
