Chapter 20
Three days later, a major event shocked Boston.
Mr. and Mrs. Pierce personally handed over their eldest daughter Serena to the police.
When making this decision, Mr. and Mrs. Pierce went through an incredibly painful struggle.
As they watched Serena being taken away by the police, Mrs. Pierce couldn’t help but cover her face and cry, while Mr. Pierce wore a look of deep sorrow, his eyes filled with helplessness and
resolution. Once, they had showered Serena with love, never imagining she would take such a path
of no return.
When Aria learned of this news, her feelings were mixed.
But only for a moment, because when she had decided to leave earlier, she had already resolved
that she would have nothing more to do with the Pierce family or Maxwell.
After the Kingsley family and Lucas were discharged from the hospital, their health gradually
improved.
One day, Lucas mysteriously told Aria he wanted to take her somewhere.
Full of curiosity, Aria followed Lucas to a garden that was decorated like a dream.
The garden was surrounded by flowers, with petals forming a small path that extended to a stage adorned with colorful lights and balloons.
Everywhere were Aria’s favorite lilies, their gentle fragrance filling the air.
Aria was stunned by everything before her. Before she could react, music slowly began to play.
Lucas walked up to Aria, knelt on one knee, and held out a bouquet of vibrant red roses, looking at her with deep affection: “Aria, from the moment we met, my world changed because of you. You are he most brilliant light in my life. I love you and am willing to spend my life protecting you. Will you
be with me?”
Aria looked into Lucas’s sincere eyes, feeling his deep love.
ust as she was about to speak, hurried footsteps broke the romantic atmosphere. Everyone turned

to see Maxwell rushing in, breathless.
His eyes were filled with anxiety and reluctance as he looked directly at Aria.
Maxwell walked up to Aria and Lucas, looking at Aria with a slightly trembling voice: “Aria, please don’t accept him. I know I’ve done many wrong things and hurt you, but I’ve been trying to change. I’ve realized I can’t live without you. My love for you has never changed. Give me a chance to make up for my past mistakes.”
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Lucas stood up, protectively placing Aria behind him, eyeing Maxwell warily: “Maxwell, Aria is happy now. Stop bothering her. Your past actions have already caused her too much pain.”
Aria looked at the two men before her, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Her thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past. Once, she had deeply loved Maxwell, giving
everything for him, only to be met with repeated hurt and betrayal.
Those painful memories surged like a tide, making her heart ache.
However, she also saw how Maxwell had changed during this time. He had worked hard to make
amends, sincerely wanting to regain her trust. And Lucas, who had stayed by her side when she was
hurt, showed her through his actions what true love and care meant.
Aria took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
She looked at Maxwell, her eyes carrying a complex emotion: “Maxwell, the past hurt me too deeply.
I’ve finally managed to walk out of that pain. Lucas has given me happiness and security I’ve never
had before.”
A flash of despair crossed Maxwell’s eyes, but he still persisted: “Aria, I know I’ve disappointed you. But I promise, from now on, I will love you with my life and never let you be hurt again.”
