Outside the hotel, Caden Sterling called out to Aria Sterling. "When my grandfather invited you to visit the Sterling family often, he meant it. You shouldn't just brush it off."
His meaning was clear: since she had agreed, she should keep her word and visit the Sterling family often.
Aria Sterling thought for a moment before asking, "Is the Sterling family planning to officially acknowledge me?"
She had always been a straight shooter. If there was something she didn't understand, she would ask directly to get a clear answer.
Caden Sterling didn't know Aria Sterling well enough to tell whether her question meant she was willing to rejoin the Sterling family or not.
He asked in return, "If the Sterling family wanted to acknowledge you, would you be willing to come back?"
