Chapter 1703:
Corrine nodded, her acceptance tinged with sadness. “I'll wait for your return.”
“Thank you.” Nate cradled the back of her head and leaned in to place a tender kiss on her lips.
After the wedding party, the Ford family gathered to discuss their departure plans for the next morning. The
consensus was that whisking Rachel away immediately after the wedding might appear overly strategic.
However, Jayden had pressing work commitments, and Rachel, ever considerate of her new family, proposed
they leave the sday to avoid any inconvenience.
Chelsea, empathetic toward Rachel's transition as a bride far from her family, suggested she stay with the
Astleys for a while. However, Corrine softly interjected, “Aunt Chelsea, remember Rachel and Jules are
newlyweds. Wouldn't separating them now be a bit much?”
Caught off-guard, Chelsea admitted, “You're right. | hadn't thought of that.”
“Chelsea, why don’t we all leave together?” Rachel chimed in, her voice thoughtful. “It would be nice to travel as
a group.”
Chelsea agreed with a nod. “Alright, that sounds good.”
Corrine, however, paused, her eyes flicking to Carl's face before she spoke tentatively. “Grandpa, I'd like to stay
back to visit a friend, so | won't be joining you.”

ahead. Be safe on the road.”

As Corrine walked away, Carl let out a resigned sigh. “Well, my granddaughter has grown up and becher
own person.”
“You're being overly protective of Corrine,” said Jules. “She’s engaged to Nate now. It’s perfectly normal for them
to spend ttogether, so there's no need for you to keep stressing over it.”

Carl turned a sharp glare on him. “If you wantto worry less, then you'd better start working on givinga
great-grandchild!”
At Carl's words, Rachel's cheeks turned a deep shade of red, and she quickly looked away to conceal her
emotions.
Her wedding night with Jules had not gone as expected. Despite several attempts, things hadn't worked out, and
since then, Jules had distanced himself physically, which made her feel as if she had let him down. She was
unprepared for the reality of their intimacy—particularly Jules’ great shape.
Chelsea noticed Rachel's discomfort and quickly took her by the hand, diverting their attention to the task of
packing.
