Chapter 54 It has been two weeks since the graduation, and although Ava had hoped to start working immediately after graduation, Leo had forced her to take a one-month break for her to recharge herself. But she had not been sitting still and doing nothing over the past two weeks. Her main interest was to be a reporter for an entertainment agency, and for the past few days, she had been familiarizing herself with the entertainment industry. She wanted to know what was required of her for her to get the most trending news, what the online netizens were most interested in in the trending topics, and just everything to do with showbiz. Ava had always believed that for one to be outstanding, they had to be the best in their game and she was planning to do that no matter what it took. So, apart from getting familiar with how the industry works, she had also been sending out her resume to several media houses, dealing mainly with showbiz, hoping for a positive answer. When Leo arrived ho
Chapter 55 Leo stretched out his hand to take the protection from the drawer but Ava stopped him, “It is safe today, you can go in without it.” Feeling his flesh on hers, Leo knew that he was finally home. The void feeling that had been hovering in his heart was filled as he enjoyed the heat coming from his wife’s sweet rose. Since he had promised that he would be quick, Leo did not overdo it. He knew how much effort his wife had put into preparing that dinner, and he did not want her to feel disappointed. After having released some of the tension from his body, Leo washed up before he helped Ava clean her body. After they changed into a new set of clothes, they went downstairs hand in hand with their hair still slightly dumb. When they reached the living room, they were stunned to see Ethan and the rest in the living room, looking at them with wide eyes Ava instantly felt embarrassed when she saw their expressions. There was no doubt that whatever was going on through their min
Chapter 56 The following morning… Leo was woken up by the ringing of his phone. Looking at Ava’s beautiful sleeping face, he did not want to be separated from her, but the caller was insistent. He carefully removed his arms around her before he turned over to take his phone. Seeing that it was his grandfather's calling, he could not ignore it. He removed the blanket and he was about to get out of bed when Ava hugged him across the waist. She nestled her face on his back before she spoke in a sleepy voice, “Don’t go.” Leo’s heart melted in an instant. He turned around and hugged her. He kissed her on the forehead before he said, “It is my grandfather calling, I don’t want to wake you up so I will be quick.” Ava shook her head, “No, just answer it from here.” Leo would never say no to his wife. Seeing that the call had ended, he took his phone and hugged her in his arms before he dialed his grandfather’s number. “Hello…” “You rascal, what time is it? Are you still in your bed?”
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 86 “You were the first person to ever hold me so gently in your arms and worry about me. At that point, I felt like I had finally made it in life. I at least had someone worry about me even though I did not even know who you were.” “My only regret was that I had not met you earlier enough, or I would never get a chance to thank you. Now that we are here, My Love, I want you to know that the moment I met you was when I was reborn. I did not know that I would also be able to tell such a beautiful story about us.” “Leo Wyatt, I love you beyond what this world could ever comprehend.” Ava emotionally said out her vows. Although people understood only half of what she said, Leo knew exactly what she was talking about. His wife had been wronged in her past life, making her die such a tragic death. But he was glad that she had not died all alone on the cold street. She had found peace in his arms even in the moment of death. Leo cleared his throat and looked at Ava with a clear g
Chapter 85 Ava looked at herself in the mirror and lamented, “I cannot believe that I am wearing my wedding dress and I am about to get married. It feels so surreal.” Samantha looked at her granddaughter and commented, “You found yourself a good man. He knows what is good for you and he would do anything to make you happy, so you must cherish him.” “I know, grandma. After leaving such a miserable life and going through so much pain, he was the first real blessing that I have ever experienced in my life. The moment he came into my life, everything changed.” “Tomorrow, I will walk you down the aisle. I did not have the chance to do that for my daughter, but I can do it for you. With that, I can die without any regrets.” “Grandma, you are very strong and you are not going to die anytime soon. You are yet to see your great, great, great, grandchildren.” Samantha laughed, “You child, I am just kidding.” Ava received a text from Leo after she was done changing her dress. He had rushe
Chapter 84 Leo’s baritone voice echoed through the room, “I knew you were special the very first time I laid my eyes on you. You came into my life and swept me off my feet like a hurricane. Although I tried to deny it time and again, I knew that I was just deceiving myself.” “The more I did not want to think about you, the more I thought about you. The more I did not want to fall for you, the deeper I fell for you.” “They always say that in every darkness, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and honey, in my dark life, you are the light. You have illuminated my life so brightly that sometimes I wonder if this is all a dream, and I will one day wake up from it.” “If it is just a dream, then it is the most real dream I have been in, and if it is not, then it makes me the happiest man in the world.” With that, the lights were turned back on. Ava saw Leo was still kneeling on one knee with a microphone in his hand. She felt like she was floating in the clouds as she walk
Chapter 83 Two days later, the West royal family which hadn’t opened its gates to the public for centuries once again became lively. That was because their long-lost granddaughter was being welcomed home. The news spread to the capital like wildfire, overtaking the top-ranking news that had been in the headlines for days. The name Salome was revived and it took over the social media by storm once again. “Didn’t they say that Salome died a tragic death at the sea while she was escaping from her father?” “From the news that is circulating, it does not seem to be the case. They never found her body so everyone assumed that she had been swallowed by the shark.” “This is earth-shattering. Who would have thought that she would stay outside for more than twenty years and then she suddenly pops up with an all-grown-up daughter?” “The royal family has always been very complex with so many complicated matters. Who knows if this person is of royal blood?” “Well, we can just wait and see
Chapter 82When Lucy saw Leo enter the castle, her heart skipped a beat. She had witnessed everything that had happened with the Moore family and she was so mad that she did not know what to do.And this handsome face seemed like something she could use right now.She always thought that Karl was the most handsome man on the planet, but after all his evil deeds had been exposed, she felt as if she had been living in the wrong universe.Leo’s appearance was like a breath of fresh air. Her face blushed as she looked at Leo and asked, “Sir, are you looking for someone?”If she had not spoken, Leo would not have noticed her. Just as he was about to look in her direction, he heard the familiar voice and he immediately looked towards the stairs. Ava was coming down from the stairs. Her hair was messy and she seemed to have just woken up.“Honey…” She called out as she looked at Leo with a smile.Leo’s heart rate increased at the sight of her and he quickened his pace.Ava hurried down the s
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
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 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
