Chapter 74“Miss Ava, I have been longing to meet you. I cannot believe that it finally happened.”“You have been following me for quite some days now, I don’t know you and I don’t really know what you want from me.”The man looked at her and smiled gently. He did not seem bothered by Ava’s doubtful gaze on him, “You look so much like your mother. If no one knew better, they might think that your mother has never aged.”Ava was shocked when she heard that, “You knew my mother? Are you from the capital?”The man nodded, “Of course I knew your mother. The West family and my family have close ties panning from centuries to centuries. You can say that we each make up a side of a coin.”Ava frowned. She could not help but ask, “What is your name and which family do you come from?”“Sorry, it was rude of me for not having done a proper introduction, I am Karl Moore from the Moore family of the capital.”“Haven’t heard of it.” Ava said.Actually, she knew nothing about the capital except for
Chapter 75When Leo arrived home in the evening, he expected to find his wife in the kitchen making dinner as usual. But when he entered the house, although the lights were on, no one was home.He searched through all the rooms but he did not see anymore. Suddenly, a sense of foreboding overwhelmed him and his left eye twitched.He took out his phone and immediately dialed Ava’s number. When the familiar ringtone sounded in the house, Leo was confused.‘Well, maybe she had just gone out for a while and she will be back soon.’ Leo thought. He knew that Ava’s phone rarely left her side unless she was in the bathroom.An hour passed and Ava was still not yet back. Leo started to get worried. It was not like her to stay somewhere for too long. He grabbed the coat that he had placed on the rack and immediately left the house.There was a supermarket just across the street and if Ava had gone there to get something, then he will definitely find her there. But she has never stayed for that l
Chapter 76 Leo arrived in the Capital in the middle of the night. Although he was worried and he immediately wanted to go and find Ava, Tyler told him to have some rest and that was the first thing they would do in the morning. “Ava is not in the castle, and unless we know where she is, we cannot startle the old man. Let him continue to think that everything is working in his favor and we will attack when he lists expects.” Leo spoke through the phone in a cold voice, “Uncle, Ava is my wife and she is so precious to me. If anything happens to her, even if she loses half a strand of her hair, I will turn the capital upside down to avenge her. I hope that when that time comes, whoever is involved would have the heart to face the consequences.” “Leo, don’t worry, I am on your side. If I had been bold enough and stood up for my sister, then she would not have gone through what she went through. I am not going to let anything happen to her daughter, that, I swear on my life.” Leo only
Chapter 77 “Dad, you will never listen, right? Why did you go around provoking a sleeping lion?” Old West looked at his son and sneered, “What do you mean?” “Do you really know who Ava’s husband is? I warned you not to mess with that girl but you could not listen? Do you want to watch as the whole family goes down with you before you are satisfied?” “What are you talking about?” “Dad, you can stop putting on an act. Ava is already missing and Leo believes that she was taken away by you. If someone was not blocking him at the airport, then the Capital would have already been in chaos as we speak.” “I am glad that he realizes that he cannot go against me. Just let him find another girl and marry. As for Ava, she has her duties to fulfill as a royal blood.” “So, you accept to have kidnapped Ava?” Tyler quickly caught on to the main point and asked. Old West realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have but it was already too late. Anyway, he was not worried as he was not p
Chapter 78 Karl and Old West were stunned by Samantha’s sudden slap. Karl’s cheek turned red immediately. He had never been slapped in his life, and although he wanted to curse and say some mean words, he did not dare do it. Old West looked at his wife and asked with furrowed eyebrows, “Dear, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly slap Karl? Did he do something to make you angry?” Samantha placed her hands across her waist and looked at her husband, her eyes red from anger, “Don’t you dare dear me! Where is my granddaughter?” “What do you mean?” Old West asked. “Were you eavesdropping on our conversation just now?” “Do I need to stoop to the level of evil people just to know what they are planning? Now, if you don’t bring me my granddaughter, I am going to jump through this window and die.” As Samantha said that, she walked towards the window. The castle had four floors and they were currently on the fourth floor. Samantha was already so old and if she threw herself down, the
Chapter 79When Ava arrived at the castle, she was surprised by how big and beautiful it was, but she was not in the mood to be impressed.Since she was here, she did not know if they would continue to restrict her, but she had to find a way to get in touch with Leo no matter what.Karl looked at Ava’s indifferent expression and he was impressed. Even he himself had not been so calm when he first set his foot in this place.Maybe she really did not feel anything because this was not her home.But her indifferent expression made him fall for her even more. If it was someone else, maybe they could have shown an excited expression and they would have been reluctant to leave. But to her, it was like she could not wait to get out of this place.When Samantha heard that her granddaughter was already here, she was too excited that she immediately went to wait at the door. Lucy also joined her. She was eager to see this cousin of hers that everyone was fawning over.As the number one socialit
Chapter 80Samantha spent most of her day in Ava’s room. It was like she was glued to this granddaughter that she had just met.“This used to be your mother’s room, and she always did the decorations all by herself.”Ava looked at the room as a nostalgic feeling welled up in her throat, “I thought that it looked familiar, and now I know why.”“Huh?”“My room back in the city was decorated in the exact same way, and it was my mother who did it.”“How was she as a mother?”“She died when I was very young and my memories of her have somehow faded. But she was the gentlest woman I have ever known. And the most loving, of course.”“I wish that I had been bold back then and stood up for my daughter. None of this would have happened.”Ava hugged the older woman on the arm as she consoled, “It is okay, grandma. I am sure that even in her death, mom never really blamed you. She had already forgiven you.”“Really?”“Yes.”Samantha felt as if a load had been taken off her shoulders and the guilt
Chapter 81Ava was so excited after seeing Leo that she almost pounced on him. But remembering that she was pregnant, she slowed down in her movement.She approached the bed as she slowly asked, “Honey, how comes you are here and how did you enter my bedroom?”Leo looked at Ava and frowned. He saw how Ava was coming to him fast after switching on the lights, but seeing her slow down in her movements, he felt as if something was wrong.Her face was also pale and she did not look well. Leo’s expression sank. Had they really been mistreating his wife? He felt the urge to destroy everything in this castle.He immediately got off the bed and approached her. Seeing his change in expression, Ava did not know what she had done wrong, so she instinctively took a step back.“Honey, is something the matter?”“Have they been mistreating you badly?” Leo asked. His voice was laced with a tinge of anger that Ava did not fail to miss.“No. No one has mistreated me and my grandmother has been especial
