Chapter 7 When Ava arrived home, her heart was still beating hard. Her body was covered in a cold sweat and she could not believe what had just happened. Maybe she could have done more research about Leo. But that was impossible because there was so little information available about him. Ava patted her chest and after taking a deep breath, she got out of the car and headed to the house. When she reached the door, she was stunned to see a pair of unfamiliar black leather shoes. She was about to find Sam and ask him what was going on when she heard a familiar voice coming from the sitting room. ‘What was Jason doing at home at this time? Had he brought back another one of his mistresses to torment her?’ Ava thought in her mind. Whatever the reason he had for coming back, it had nothing to do with her. Jason was sitting in the living room with his mother and sister. When they saw Ava enter the house, their faces revealed fierce expressions. Remembering how rude she had been to them
Chapter 8 Ava did not answer him. She directly passed him and headed to the bedroom. Jason’s eyes turned icy cold. He stared at her back and sneered coldly. This was the second time he was being ignored by this lowly woman and he was already reaching his limit. Just what in the world was wrong with her? Before Ava’s hand reached out to open the door, Jason shouted, “Ava, I am talking to you. Were you speaking to another man right now?” Ava’s hand paused and her back stiffened. Jason was even more angry when he saw her actions. So, he was right. This good-for-nothing woman actually had the audacity to speak to another man behind his back, and in his house. Given how gentle and sweet she was sounding just now, their relationship must be extraordinary. He knows that Ava rarely leaves the house and she does not have many friends. In fact, she has no friends at all, especially the male ones. She had just gone out for one day and she was already cheating on him? Jason laughed angri
Chapter 9 Leo looked at his assistant and ordered coldly, “I want everything about the Grayson family, to the tiniest detail as soon as possible.” Dan seemed to have anticipated as much so he nodded his head without hesitation. Just like his boss, he had thought that Ava was sent by an enemy to get rid of the big boss, but after everything he uncovered yesterday, adding to today’s incident, it was evident that Ava was innocent. As for why she specifically approached Leo, they did not know why. Maybe only she knew and it would be a matter of time before his boss knew too. Ava did not come to her senses for a long time even after the man had left. She could still feel his presence in the ward as his unique scent was all over. Ava let her mind wander until the nurse came in to change her dressing. “Nurse, when can I be discharged?” Ava asked. She did not know the kind of hospital she was in and she was not sure if she could afford the medical bill. She did not have so much money s
Chapter 10 After talking to Leo, Ava fell into a deep slumber, and by the time she opened her eyes again, the world had already darkened outside. The moment he heard some movements from the bed, Leo turned off his laptop and walked towards the bed. He asked in his husky voice, “You are awake?” Ava’s mind was still muddled from the sleep and when she heard the question, she subconsciously nodded. “Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Ava finally came back to her senses when she heard the familiar voice. She remembered someone telling her over the phone that they would come to see her in the evening. So, he had really kept his promise. Ava’s tears suddenly fell. When Leo saw her cry, he was shocked. Thinking that she was in so much pain, he immediately ordered the doctor to be brought over. The doctor arrived within seconds and the moment Leo saw her, he looked at her coldly and asked in a voice that bore no emotions, “Didn’t I ask you to take care of her well? Why
Chapter 11 “What happened?” “I have been married to for three years, but my marriage has not been that great. My husband rarely comes home, and every time he does, it would be because he brought back one of his mistresses to rub it in my face.” “I got used to it. And although I hoped that things would one day work out for us, my heart was stubbed so many times that I had to let go, and allow myself to live a more meaningful life.” “Yesterday before I left the house to find you, I happened to have pissed his mother and sister off. Well, they are used to ordering me around as I married into their family to be their nanny, but yesterday, they did not have the chance to bully me, and they got angry at me.” “When I arrived home, I found my husband who had not been home for months waiting for me with his mother and sister. I was surprised at first, but then I realized that they were there to settle scores. I did not want to pay them any attention, but I was pushed on the stairs and hurt
Chapter 12 “I… I realized that I did not have anything to change into after I was done showering, so I thought that this would do.” “Hmm, stay here, I will be back soon,” Leo said. When he returned, he was holding a few beautiful gowns in his hands. He said as he approached Ava, “I thought that you would sleep some more. They are still preparing your clothes. But I think this will do for now.” Ava took the dresses and smiled shyly. This was the first time a man had prepared dresses for her and her heart warmed. He was so diligent that he did not allow her to suffer even a single grievance. She looked at Leo and sincerely thanked him, “Thank you, for everything.” Leo did not say anything. He pointed towards the bathroom door and said, “Go and change your clothes, then come down and have breakfast.” “Okay.” … After breakfast, Leo and Ava sat in the living room. Leo looked at her fair complexion and asked, “Is your neck still hurting?” Ava turned her neck around. Apart from very
Chapter 15 “You have been away from home for a long time, bring back my granddaughter-in-law tomorrow night for a family dinner.” Seeing that it had nothing to do with the situation at the company today, Jason inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. If his grandfather got mad and stripped him of his right to be the next heir, he wouldn’t know how he would live his life. He promised and smiled easily, “Grandpa, I have also missed you. I will come and see you tomorrow with your granddaughter-in-law.” “Good.” the old man said before he hung up the phone. It was only after he ended the call did, he realized that Ava had vanished and he had no idea where to start looking. He was certain that if his grandfather learned that he had almost killed his darling granddaughter-in-law, then the consequences would be more than him losing his right to inheritance, he might even be banished from the family. He called in his assistant, “Timothy, by all means, make sure that, that bitch is within my s
Chapter 14 After Leo comforted her, Ava fell into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes again, the sky had already brightened, indicating the beginning of another new day. She quickly washed up, and changed into a beautiful dress before she headed downstairs. Today the penthouse was so quiet and no living being could be seen around. But Ava was not worried. After staying in this house for a day, she realized that the man liked quiet and private places. If not, why would he be leaving on top of a hotel, instead of his home or just buying a unit outside? When she reached downstairs, she saw the man sitting in the living room with a magazine in his hands. Gold-rimmed reading glasses were strapped on his face, and he looked poised. He was wearing a black suit and his body exuded an aura that belonged to a king. His face was cold without any expression, but he still looked handsome and charming. Ava stared at him, her heart racing. Well, she had always thought that Jason was the cut

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
