Aurora Sterling maintained a pleasant smile. "Thank you for your concern, Uncle. But my grandmother and father already have my future figured out, so you don't need to trouble yourself with it."
Hearing Aurora's words, Bernard Sterling gave a reluctant nod. "Well, as long as it's figured out. Aurora, you must remember that a girl needs to be independent. Don't just think about getting married."
"Yes, I understand, Uncle," Aurora replied with a smile.
Bernard Sterling had wanted to say more, but seeing Aurora's consistently meek and mild-mannered act, he realized pressing the matter further would make him seem forceful, so he simply closed his mouth.
Susan Sterling curled her lip. 'Today is my younger daughter's big day. I can't waste all my time and energy on that fool, Aurora.'
