Chapter 57 Ava looked at the old man playing chess all by himself and felt in awe. Although in her past life she had been married to Jason, she had never heard much about the legendary Wyatt family until Leo saved her. Christopher looked intimidating and his sharp gaze was as if nothing could ever be hidden from him. The moment he looked at Ava, she felt as if the man had already seen through her deepest thoughts. Leo looked at the old man that he had not seen for years and his gaze softened. He was about to gently call him out, but when he noticed him intimidatingly looking at Ava, his gaze became cold and he cleared his throat as a sign of warning. Christopher came back to his senses. He looked at his grandson and sneered in disdain, “You finally decided to come back home after so many years?” “Grandfather, how have you been?” “As you can see, I am barely hanging on. If you had not come back, I would have been forced to drag you back home.” Ava looked at the old man again. Alt
Chapter 58 When Dexter saw Ava, he was stunned. He quickly called out to her, “Ava, what are you doing here?” Christopher was shocked when he heard Dexter address Ava. It was like they were familiar with each other. Ava was only stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. She called out to Dexter, “Grandfather, you are here?” Hearing her call Dexter her grandfather, realization dawned on Christopher. Was he the grandfather that she had been talking about? Well, if that was the case, then it was a big coincidence, or maybe fate. “What are you doing here?” Dexter asked. In his memories, he did not remember Ava being related to anyone in the Wyatt family. The only possibility could be that… Ava had told him that she had moved on and she had even found someone who treated her well. He had been wanting to meet the said person but a lot of things happened, and they had not had the chance to meet up, could it be that the lucky man was from the Wyatt family? “Grandfat
Chapter 59 When Beth saw Leo, her eyes lit up. This was the man of her dreams, and she was the only person worthy of him. Seeing how he was protectively hugging Ava a deep envy took root in her heart. If only she was the one in his arms now, she would be so happy that she could not wait to fly. Christopher took the opportunity to push Beth away. Although he was displeased by her boldness, he did not show it on his face. He looked at his grandson and explained, “Your father invited the Graysons over for lunch. We were here to welcome them in the house.” Leo looked at Dexter and bowed politely. Ava had said that he had been the only person nice to her in the Grayson family, and for that, he deserved his respect. As for the rest, he did not even spare them a glance. After bowing to Dexter, he politely invited him to the house, “Welcome, Grandpa Dexter, I have heard so much about you from my wife. Thank you for taking care of her in the past.” Dexter was flustered when Leo personally
Chapter 60 “Dad, do you remember what you had promised Uncle Dexter after he did you a huge favor many years back?” James asked as he looked at his father, Christopher. Christopher nodded. If he had not realized the reason as to why James invited the Graysons over, then he would not be the same person who had ruled the business world for many years. “Of course, how could I forget?” Hearing that, James continued, “Although the Grayson family status might not be on par with ours, it is good to take care of our own. And now that Leo is back, and him being the eldest son of the Wyatt family, his marriage must not be taken lightly.” Everyone had different expressions when they heard that. Beth was excited as she looked at Ava with a provocative gaze. ‘Hah, Ava, although you worked so hard to get Leo, I am about to have him without even lifting my finger. You don’t even have the right to compete with me.” Ava lowered her head as the hand that holding the spoon tightened. Although she h
Chapter 61 The next morning, it was unusual for Ava to be the first to open her eyes. But she was so eager to know about her mom’s origin that she had barely slept. When Leo woke up, he found his wife staring at him with wide eyes. He could tell from a glance that she had barely closed her eyes the previous night. He touched her face as he asked, “Couldn’t sleep, huh?” Ava nodded truthfully, “Yes, honey. All I could think about was my mom. I can’t believe that she actually had a family that never for once came looking for her.” Leo sat on the bed and hugged his wife in his arms. His eyes darkened but after thinking for a while, he decided to be honest with her. Although he had a lot of unanswered questions, he had promised to tell her everything that he knew. “Have you ever heard of the royal family in the capital?” Ava was confused when she heard the question but she still answered, “You mean where the king and the queen live?” Leo nodded, “Yeah.” “Well, I haven’t heard so mu
Chapter 62 Ava stopped in her tracks but she did not immediately turn around. She pretended to be considering whether she should just leave or stay. After what seemed like forever, Ava finally turned around. Seeing Henry relax his tensed muscles, she smiled lightly. She shrugged her shoulder and spoke as if she was left with no choice, “I think that I will just stay then after all you are my father, and the woman that my mom once loved.” Henry quickly nodded when he heard that, “Yes, you are my daughter. Your mom and I were once deeply in love. I feel guilty every single day for betraying her. In fact, I was thinking that you should come home more often. Even staying a few days would be perfect.” When Ava heard that, she sneered in her heart. Ha, for the sake of his benefits, this man could promise you heaven. Although she was thoroughly disgusted on the inside, she pretended to be moved on the outside. Looking at Henry, she spoke in a choked voice, “Daddy, did you and Mommy love
Chapter 63 The DNA results came back two days later. Ava looked at it and exclaimed, “As expected, I am not related to Henry.” Leo looked at her and hugged her as he rubbed her back gently, “Are you sad and disappointed?” Ava looked at her husband and smiled. She aimed for his lips before she said, “If it had been in my past life, maybe I might have been sad, but now I actually feel kind of relieved. He has never treated me like his daughter because he knew the truth all along.” “What makes me puzzled is why mom married him. I am now sure that there was never love between them.” Stared at his wife and gave his analysis, “If my guess is correct, Mom wanted to give you a sense of belonging. If she really is from the West Royal family, maybe she did not want to lose her family completely and she also wanted you to have the surname West while growing up, maybe it would be easier for you to find her family.” Ava looked at Leo with sparkling eyes, shocking Leo. He looked at her in con
Chapter 64 “Ava, what are you doing?” Henry looked at the fierce bodyguards who were ready to throw them out and exclaimed. Ava retorted when she heard the question, “What do you think am doing? Can’t you use your brain a little?” Martha screamed as she looked at Ava. She could not believe that this bitch was actually throwing them outside the house they have lived in for more than a century, “You bastard, how can you chase us out of our home? Do you think that you can do anything you want just because you are married to Leo?” Martha was still mad that Ava found herself such a fine man just after divorcing Jason, but there was nothing she could do. They only tried to mess with her once but they ended up in the police station. They did not dare do anything stupid. What pained her the most was the fact that her daughter had not been able to finish her school. Now, not only could she not find herself a well-paying job, but she also ended up with a street boy as her boyfriend she ref
