My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 641:

She turned to Kody, recalling how he had asked for the keys to Gracie’s apartment just days ago. He had explained that he wanted to bring the piano back, but she never expected to find it here. She felt that since the piano had once belonged to the Morrison family, returning it to them was like bringing a piece of Grandpa back home.

Reece joined her by the piano, his voice gentle. “You are the only one in the family with a talent for the piano. You are also your grandpa’s only descendant. This piano belongs to you.”

Tears pricked her eyes as she whispered, “Thank you.”

Jenesis approached her, brushing a hand tenderly through her hair. “Silly girl, there is no need to thank us. Family takes care of each other.” Her voice softened with emotion as she added, “I don’t know what you have been through to be so easily moved. It’s just a room.”

Reece laughed, his tone light but carrying a hint of gravity. “Exactly. Besides, everything in the Morrison family will be yours someday.”

Though the words were meant to reassure, they carried an unspoken weight. Carrie had no idea that the family expected her to one day lead them as the head of the Morrison family—a role traditionally held by the president of the prestigious Music Association.

For now, they chose to keep this future burden from her. For tonight, it was enough to let her bask in the warmth of a home that was finally hers.noveldrama

The heartfelt conversation in the room was interrupted by a voice echoing from the hallway. “Grandpa, Dad, Aunt, where are you?”

Reece slapped his thigh as a thought struck him. “I completely forgot—Arion’s coming back today. I haven’t told him about Carrie yet!”

Before anyone could respond, a silver-haired figure appeared in the doorway. Arion stood there, his trendy outfit slightly rumpled, a teddy bear-shaped bag hanging off his shoulder. He looked around, grumbling, “Why is everyone hanging out in this room? I’ve been looking all over for you…”

But then his gaze landed on Carrie, and his words trailed off. His eyes lit up as recognition dawned. “Wait… Carrie? What are you doing here?”

Before Carrie could answer, Arion’s eyes darted to the rest of the family, confusion written all over his face. “And why’s everyone here? Did I miss something?”

“Arion…” Kody began, clearing his throat to break the awkward silence. No one wanted to admit how often Arion seemed overlooked in family discussions.

Reece stepped forward with an easy smile, clapping Arion on the shoulder. “Arion, this is Carrie—Josh’s only granddaughter. She’s our cousin.”

For a moment, Arion blinked at Reece and then at Carrie, his brain seemingly short-circuiting. “Is this some kind of April Fool’s joke?”

Carrie was equally taken aback. She hadn’t expected the silver-haired young man who had chased her for an autograph earlier to be introduced as her cousin. “It’s not a joke,” Reece said firmly.

The realization finally hit Arion, and the light in his eyes dimmed as disappointment washed over him. “Oh no—my idol is my cousin!”

In his mind, he’d been spinning romantic fantasies about Carrie since the moment he met her. His idol had become his cousin.

The realization hit him like a punch to the gut, and the die-hard fan’s heart broke into a million pieces.
