Ava Lins went up stairs to change her clothes. ¡°Ava Lins, join the dinner party with me tonight.¡± Her heart was pounding extremely quickly. Ava Lins was not someone who enjoyed attending social events, but she feltpelled to do so due of her status as Goden Bran¡¯s wife.

Goden Bran avoided making eye contact with her all the way back home. He was taken aback when the phone rang suddenly. He said, ¡± I¡¯ll get there as quickly as I can, that¡¯s OK. ¡± He instructed Ava,¡±Go back yourself¡±. It was the middle of the night when he pulled over to the side of the road, helet Ava out of the car, and then continued on his way, as if it didn¡¯t bother him that he was leaving his wife alone on the sidewalk.

Following that, the door to the room was violently pried open. When Ava Lins resumed her consciousness, she was taken surprised to discover her own sister, Tiara Lins, was staring at her angrily at the door. Ava Lins was taken aback by the sight. ¡°Sis, why are here?¡± Tiara Lins¡¯s look turned fromwonder and awe toshock and anguish.

She said, ¡°What you saw was not this.¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t have imagined you to be a woman like that!¡± Tiara Lins shed a grin to herself as sheughed out loud. Just as the level of tension in the room reached a new peak, the door to the restroom finally opened. Ava saw a man who had a towel wrapped over him. His appearance caught her off guard. It is not Goden Bran? Ava Lins was still reeling from the shock she felt when she learned what was taking ce. She rushed out the door, her eyes started to well up with tears. ¡°Tiara!¡± In the very next instant, Tiara Lins struck her across the face with a punch. ¡°Not only have you let me down, but you have also let down my brother inw, Ava Lins!¡± Ava was taken aback. Ava Lins turned around and saw the man who had been standing behind her, he softly lowered his head and cast a nce at her with thin lips twisted into a wicked grin, but his stare was as frigid as ice. Ava moved closer to him while clutching her hand tightly and took a few steps in his way. He quickly grabbed her wrist and had a firm grip on it as she raised her hand to attack him. She exerted some effort to disengage her hand from his grasp, but he appeared determined to maintain his grip on it. ¡°Let me go!¡± ¡°You look more skilled on bed than you sister.¡± What Ava Lins was listening to was so incredible that she couldn¡¯t bring herself to believe it.

Chapter 2 Home, Ava took a quick nce at her watch as Goden Bran entered the room again. 1 a. m. Normally, she would stand up, walk to the front door, and grab his jacket from there. But she couldn¡¯t get what Nathan Hill had told her out of her mind today. A little timeter, she heard footstepsing from the direction of the front door. The moment sheheard the door open, she dragged herself over to the side of the bed and heaved a long sigh. Ava was able to tell that he was looking at her even though she didn¡¯t move . After that, he moved closer to her till he was standing pretty close to her. He moved his hand around to the back of her neck and grasped her. Her neck was burning, and the alluring aroma of an alcoholic beverage drew her in¡­ She was unable to take her gaze off of him . ¡°Have you been drinking again?¡± she questioned. ¡°Do you have anything to say, Goden Bran?¡± Despite his eyes were closed, she was able to tell that he was awake, and the fact that he was being silent tore at her heart.

Since that time, he abstained from physically contacting her in any way. She wanted to ask something, but he stopped her with his frigid look, thus she was unable to do so. He never once looked at her with a slice of affection ¡­ ¡°Why are you treating me with such disdain, Godden Bran?¡± He did not make a single sound or move in any way. She heaved a long sigh. She¡¯d been up the entire night watching television¡­ She snatched his phone as soon as she realized that he was still asleep, and then she started to read all of his texts and check his caller ID . However, she was unsessful in her quest and came up with nothing. While she was preparing breakfast, Ava Lins stood at the top of the stairs and watched him descend. Even after she had served it to him, he continued to ignore it and did not look at it at all. Instead, he moved in the direction of the door that led out of the room. He stepped into the closet without even casting a nce at her, as if he hadn¡¯t heard her at all. The indifference with which he treated her stabbed her in the chest like a needle. ¡±I beseech you, please don¡¯t look down on me with such contempt,¡± ¡°I¡¯m your wife.¡± She waspletely oblivious to the fact that her tone was inappropriate. Despite the fact that it enraged him, he kept his cool and said in a dispassionate manner, ¡°This is the way I am.¡± As soon as she heard this, she began to experience pain throughout her entire body, and her heart started to race rapidly. Was he trying to convince her that he had had a frigid manner toward her during the entirety of their rtionship? Ava Lins waspletely taken aback by his decision to leave . In the pub. ¡°Who madeourprincess unhappy?¡± Ava studied Belli Tannu¡¯s brilliant grin. ¡°Belli Tannu, I have no doubt in my mind that Goden Bran is carrying on an affair.¡± ¡°Have you seen her?¡± ¡°I have no prior acquaintance with her. Someone was talking yesterday as we were having fun, and I overheard them.¡± Belli Tannu attempted to soothe her by caressing her hand and reassuring her , ¡°You said that you trusted him.¡± ¡°I truly hope you¡¯re right, but it seems like he¡¯s moving further and farther away from me. ¡± ¡°He never talked tome. On the evening of the wedding, he did not even touch me, even a slice of hair.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I simply could not believe it; I don¡¯t know why you didn¡¯t tell me sooner.¡± She expressed her disappointment that he had not even attempted to kiss her. While they were in the pub, they carried on a lengthy talk. Ava thought that Goden Bran¡¯s birthday was going to be tomorrow, so she asked Belli Tannu to apany her shopping. Both Ava Lins and Belli Tannu decided to go together and get a belt from the clothes store. Her lips pursed in excitement, assuming he¡¯d appreciate it. A frightening beep came from her phone at an unexpected time. A woman¡¯s voice filled with excitement said, ¡°Sis, Tianna jumped from the balcony!¡± ¡°What!¡± Ava Lins was struck by lightning, and as a result, she came perilously near to crashing with the car in front of her. ¡°Could you please repeat that?¡± She asked the question as soon as she came to aplete halt. ¡°Daddy and I sped our way to the emergency room as quickly as we could,¡± The woman¡¯s hands started to shake as she thought about what had happened the night before and her sister cried out out of her lungs with tears. ¡°I hate you, Ava Lins, how dare you take your sister¡¯s boyfriend away from her when the two of them were content together and you knew it? You have betrayed my trust!¡± Chapter 3 Ava Lins¡¯ hands trembled as she rememberedst night. Her heart felt like it was riddled with hundreds of holes. Was it worth jumping off from the balcony for this man? Ava parked her car and took a cab to the hospital. When she arrived at the emergency room, she saw her father and brother, Omi Lins, talking to a doctor. Her father¡¯s face was getting paler. She feared that something had happened . The doctor left, leaving Omi Lins staring at her with tears in his eyes that made Ava¡¯s heart swell. ¡°The doctor said we have to amputate Sis¡¯ arms to save her,¡± Omi said. ¡°Sis, what now? How can sister y piano after she loses an arm? That¡¯s more serious than murder.¡± Ava gritted her teeth and hugged Omi, her heart aching. ¡°Omi, this is the only thing we can do,¡± she finally said. ¡°I want her to live.¡± Omi Lins hugged Ava Lins tighter. His boiling tears silently wetted her clothes. The doctor advised the family to act quickly or they might miss the ideal time for surgery and the wounded woman might not survive. They had no other choice. They prayed that she would live, even if she hated them in the future¡­ Ava pulled out her cell phone and read Goden Bran¡¯s message, ¡± I already have appointments tonight, so I will not be back.¡± ¡°The guy you called turned off his phone,¡± she went outside to contact Goden Bran but his phone was turned off. She sadly hung up the phone. She had been through a lot. Where was her husband? Ava Lins often felt unmarried and alone¡­ She looked at her ring. What, besides the ring, made her seem married? ¡°Is not heing?¡± ¡°He has business to attend to,¡± Ava said, turning her head to hide her displeasure. ¡°Did not hee to you when something so big happened? Do you love him so much that he does not feel sorry for you?¡± Ava Lins lowered her head to hide the pain in her heart. ¡°Can¡¯t you talk about it?¡± ¡°Oh yes, do you quarrel with your Sister?¡± said Granny Lins and sighed. ¡°She came back yesterday and said strange things to me. ¡± Ava¡¯s heart stopped when she heard that. She felt guilty. She knew it was a mistake, but she might have prevented these disasters if she had exined to her sis earlier. She had misjudged Tianra¡¯s stamina and assumed that she would be fine if she calmed down. She groaned, not knowing where to start. This cocky person was the culprit! She imagined his mischievous grin. She knew he was someone who abused his father¡¯s wealth and influence to get what he wanted. In a hotel. Goden Bran stood outside the French window. His sword-like brows were pinched tightly together and his eyes were deep and mysterious. Delicate hands appeared on his waist. ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise not to go back tonight?¡± she said softly, pressing her beautiful body against his back, rubbing his cocks. Goden said to the woman behind him, ¡°I still have my papers at home and need to go pick them up.¡± ¡°Then have the secretary take them to your residence, is not that all right?¡± She hugged him tightly, for she did not want him to leave tonight¡­ Goden Bran smirked and backed away. He lifted her lower jaw and set his wine cup aside. Her beautiful looks could fascinate any man. ¡°You were not always like this.¡± She pursed her lips and sped his hand. ¡°I was not always like this. I believed women were supposed to be reserved, but my reserve kept you away from me.¡±¡±I do not want you to go back and live with another woman.¡± ¡°She¡¯s my best friend, and I want her to be happy. But because Heaven is making fun of me, I can tell she¡¯s not happy with you. Why do not you break up with her since you do not like her?¡± ¡°Goden, I confess I regret it,¡± Belli Tannu murmured as she approached him. ¡°I should not have left you to pursue my career those years, it is my mistake, but I really love you Goden.¡± ¡°Give me some more time,¡± Goden Bran murmured softly as he groaned. ¡°After work, I¡¯ll divorce her.¡± ¡°I can wait for you,¡± Belli Tannu said, chuckling. ¡°I have a birthday present for you today. Wait, I¡¯ll get it.¡± Belli Tannu moved away. Then she stood in front of him, loosened his tie and put on the tie she had bought.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Her gentle disposition exuded a seductive fragrance. One could sense the glorious surroundings in her pajamas. Every man, no matter how confident, would be impressed by her. He touched her cheeks and made her pause. He kissed her, his head lowered¡­ Goden Bran threw off his tie, loosened his shirt, pulled down her pajamas, bent down to lift her up horizontally, and walked toward the bed. His fingers are fiddling in herp, his arms crossed defiantly below her round, firm breasts. He took his fingers in to her wetness, she cried out, winching like her body was on fire. He crawls over her body, hovering over. When the sun rose the next day, he discovered Ava Lins asleep on the bed. ¡°Sis?¡± said Grandma, and her heart ached for her. Then Ava Lins woke up, looked at Omi and then at Tianna, who was still sleeping. ¡°You came so early? ¡°Sis, I get you something to eat.¡± She ate her breakfast on the side. She was eating when she saw a newspaper next to her and the person in the article caught her eye! Was not he the one who made Tianna jump off a building? She took a quick nce at the paper. That was him¡­ She had read in the press that it was Jeorge Milton! Of all the celebrities, he attracted the most paparazzi. Ava Lins did not care what his past was, she just wanted her sister, who was missing her arms, while she ate and drank normally! She could not put up with that! Before she left, Ava Lins told Omi to take good care of her. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack with only one person¡¯s name. But his name was Jeorge Milton! Chapter 4 She asked her bartenders if he would go tonight. His grandfather was a veteranmander. His father was a government official, his uncle a powerfulwyer, and his mother was from a wealthy British family. For Ava Lins, this was nothing new. She entered the pub, looked around at people and noticed him sitting there. Ava Lins yanked open the door and rushed inside. She quickly lifted the cup of wine on the table and sshed it over his face! Everyone in the room fell silent. Mr. Milton drank the wine while blinking his menacing eyes at her. He knew her! She was the woman that night, but she didn¡¯t know him. This amazing spectacle took everyone¡¯s breath away. Even the office manager in the UK had to excuse Jeorge Milton. The air became stuffy. ¡°Who are you?¡± they shouted . You are blind! How could youe all the way here just to be an idiot?¡± Ava Lins red at him, ignoring the excitement. ¡°She jumped because of you!¡± Jeorge Milton stood up, expressionless, and asked, Her anger rose as she stared at him, stunned. ¡°Is it you? Because of you, she lost both her arms and jumped off from the balcony. How are you going to save her life now?¡± He raised his eyebrows and twisted his lips into a contemptuous grin. Is that what you want? Heughed mockingly. ¡°Hello¡­¡± I have to marry any woman who jumps on me.¡± Ava Lins was so angry that she raised her hand to p him, but he grabbed her palm tightly again. She struggled back. ¡°Go away!¡± ¡°I am sorry, but I am not going to do anything about it.¡± ¡°You just humiliated me in front of everyone. How will I ever get retribution if I do not get it now?¡± ¡°What?¡± He kissed her without giving her a chance to respond. She was stunned, her eyes wide. Despite her shock, she had already let herself go for him. His tongue yed around her tongue as he kissed her passionately. His kisses were as fierce as a hurricane, devoid of any tenderness, and his lips smelled of cigarette. When she pushed him off her, she saw his sly grin, as if he had discovered something new. His eyes were as dark. ¡°Has no man ever kissed you like that? That¡¯s why you were so shy.¡± When he finished speaking, the audience burst intoughter.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Ava Lins clenched her fists. ¡°Jeorge Milton, do not be so obnoxious and arrogant!¡± she shouted at him with blushed cheeks. ¡°What?¡± he said, arrogantly raising his eyebrows. Are you going to sue me? use me of a crime? Do you want me to show you the door of the police station? Or do I need to contact the principal?¡± She smirked. She had no idea how strong he was, so why was he so arrogant? He saw the dirt on her face as they looked at each other. He reached out to help her, but she pped his hand away and grinned. He snorted, hid his grin, red at her and hissed, ¡°You do not have to hate me. I never did anything to your sister, and I have never been with her. I went to the hotel to find a woman and you rushed in to confuse her. Not for me, Jeorge Milton.¡± This callous usation made Ava Lins¡¯ heart ache. She knew she was in the wrong, but hearing it so clearly made it worse. She had no idea how she had gotten out of here. It was raining cats and dogs. The Street was a silent river of lights. The city looked as if it was wrapped in a pale yellow linen. Ava Lins strolled aimlessly along this road, her body emaciated. A ck car drove by, Goden Bran sitting in it, his eyes closed and asleep, when he heard the driver say, ¡°Mr. Bran, is not that your wife?¡± Then he looked out the half-open window and grimaced. ¡°Do you want to get out of the car, Mr. Bran?¡± ¡°Do not stop, go.¡± He replied coldly, his attention focused on the rear mirror. Then he closed his eyes and remained silent. When Ava got home, the light was on. It was dark when she got back. She put on her shoes. She was about to make coffee when she saw that the light in the study was still on. While she was boiling the ck coffee, she unintentionally scalded her hands, turning them crimson. She sighed. The door of the study was open a crack. She could not go in because he was on the phone. She had no intention of listening to him on the phone, but. ¡°Then will the divorce be finalized?¡± ¡­ A teacup shattered . Ava Lins was stunned as boiling coffee sshed onto the floor and the teacup shattered like her heart. Goden Bran hung up the phone when he spotted her at the door. He pretended she had not heard him. He was still the same, indifferent. She widened her ck eyes and looked at him. ¡°When did you learn to eavesdrop?¡± she asked as he sauntered up to her as if nothing had happened. When she did not answer, he turned and left. ¡± I heard something wrong?¡± said Ava Lins, grabbing his arm and turning around. ¡°You have not heard wrong.¡± He spoke calmly, as if to a stranger. ¡°That¡¯s not funny at all. Sheughed. Her eyes were moist and her voice trembled. Her heart trembled, but he stood firm. He gave her a cold look. His hand withdrew, ¡°I will give you the divorce agreement so you can express any wishes you may have.¡± Then he went up the stairs and closed the door. Silence fell in the house. It was so peaceful ¡­ She pondered all night. Chapter 5 Ava rushed to the hospital after taking Omi¡¯s call. When she arrived, she heard Tianra screaming . ¡°You saved me? How did you save me? Go. Let me go, I can not live like this!¡± ¡°I will die if I have to live like a monster.¡± Please, Daddy and Grandma, let me die! ¡°I do not want to see you. I do not want to see you!¡± Her hopeless wail pierced his heart . She dared not enter to know what had happened¡­ How beautiful and confident she was on stage¡­ But now she had to lose her arms. Ava stood at the door and heard the sobbing. Her heart did too. After a while, the doctor¡¯s sedative had stopped the wailing, but everyone¡¯s mood was somber. ¡°Sis, you¡¯re very chilly,¡± Omi murmured, sping her hand. Ava felt her eyes burn as she listened to Omi¡¯s anguish. She smiled at him and wanted to say something, but she could not. ¡°I am going to look for that guy!¡± raged Omi, suddenly straightening up. Omi! He had to pass the college entrance test this year. ¡°Go on. Let me look for him, I have dealt with him before. He may be the only one who can inspire her to live right now.¡± She had never realized how much she loved him¡­ As if she were that stupid. Ava Lins had been preparing in her mind to meet Jeorge Milton. She had to put up with his arrogance and cockiness. She hade to convince him. Maybe now she would hear him. She knew this kind of love was ridiculous, but she hoped it wouldst. As long as he encouraged her and exined that it was just a misunderstanding between them, she would get out of the valley of life. She rang the doorbell and knocked on the suite door. No sound came from inside. She knocked again. ¡°Milton?¡± ¡°Is Mr. Milton in?¡± She went to knock with her hand, but the door opened and froze her hand. His cor had popped. He found her leaning against the door. His dark eyes were almost imperceptibly surprised. ¡°You are looking for me?¡± he asked slowly. ¡°Are you waiting, or do you want me to punish you? ¡°Mr. Milton, can we talk?¡± Ava Lins clenched her fist. Heughed softly and raised his heavy brows. ¡°Are you that kind today?¡± ¡°Disgusting beast!¡± Ava smiled, but in her heart she wanted to scream. He seemed to be able to read her mind. ¡°Are you condemning me in your heart?¡± he said softly. Then she wondered how he could see through her. ¡°Tell me, why are you looking for me?¡± said Jeorge Milton. But he turned and went back to his room. He lit a cigarette and smoked. Ava followed him and saw only a naked woman under the covers on his bed¡­ His dark eyes did not leave her. His look was as if he wanted to examine her under a microscope. His gaze irritated Ava. ¡°Mr. Milton?¡± she asked darkly. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible, but what can I get if I help you?¡± he said slowly, stubbing out his cigarette. She stared at him in confusion. Then he answered thedy on the bed, ¡°You just ruined my interest, why do not you rece her? Will youe with me for once and I¡¯ll help you?¡± Ava Lins was taken aback when she realized what he meant. ¡°You!¡± ¡°It seems I was wrong, I should not have gone to a beast like you just to debate with your lowly intellect!¡± she muttered between her teeth. Then she turned and walked away. He mmed the door with a dull thud. His eyes were downcast and his lips curved into a mocking bow. Scum! Ava Lins wished she could curse aloud on this busy street! She sucked in her breath and her lungs burst with rage. She had read in the press about the foul behavior of some srich people. She never expected such a thing to happen to her! As she walked, she looked up and noticed Goden Bran¡¯s office. She had strayed here unknowingly. She wanted to see him anyway. She saw Belli Tannu. ¡°Belli Tannu!¡± eximed Ava Lins enthusiastically, despite her confusion. Belli Tannu turned her head, amazed to see her. Then sheughed strangely, ¡°Ava, why do youe?¡± ¡°I am just wandering around,¡± Ava forced herself to grin. ¡°Oh, no¡­ Oh¡­ I came to look for a buddy who works here too.¡± ¡± Maybe I know him too.¡± Belli Tannu sputtered, but Goden Bran strode out the ss door. ¡°Boss,¡± the security guard said. Ava and Belli Tannu looked at each other. Goden Bran was also surprised to see Ava Lins! He turned away, frowning. ¡°Be careful!¡± they said as he approached them. He opened his eyes and saw that the crystal ceilingmp above him was loosening and threatening to fall¡­N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. His chest tightened. He grabbed her and dodged to the side. Then a loud bang. Themb fell from above, about a meter away from Ava Lins¡­ This breathtaking spectacle made everyone gasp¡­ Ava Lins¡¯ beautiful face had turned pale with fear. She was stunned and her pale face made her too exposed to move. With hatred and disbelief, she looked into the injured eyes ¡­ Her husband reached out to lure others away, but not her¡­ Surely he knew that if themp fell on her, she would die? Or did her life and death mean nothing to him? She seemed afraid, she thought. How could she fail to cry out in such a critical situation? ¡°Ava, what happened to you?¡± asked Belli Tannu, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°It was so risky now. ¡°I was scared. ¡°I am OK¡± she forced herself to grin. ¡°I have to work, so I¡¯ll go first.¡± ¡°Ava, are you okay?¡± Her voice trembles. She jokes. ¡°Fine.¡± She turned and walked away. When she came back, her tears had stopped. He did not care about her . Why was it so hard to love someone who did not love her? Ava Lins suddenly felt that she could not go on. Chapter 6 She knelt down, clutching her aching chest and sobbing like a child. The sky was gloomy. A torrential rain began to pour, enveloping the city. Despite the curiosity of passersby, she had to leave quickly to avoid the rain¡­ Ava rushed to the hospital after taking Omi¡¯s call. When she arrived, she heard Tianra screaming. ¡°You saved me? I can not live like this!¡± ¡°I will die if I have to live like a monster.¡± Please, Daddy and Grandma, let me die! ¡°I do not want to see you. I do not want to see you all!¡± How beautiful and confident she was on stage¡­ But now she had to lose her arms. Ava stood at the door and heard the sobbing. After a while, the doctor¡¯s sedative had stopped the wailing, but everyone¡¯s mood was somber. ¡°Sis, you¡¯re very chilly,¡± Omi murmured, sping her hand. ¡°I am going to look for that guy!¡± raged Omi, suddenly straightening up.

A torrential rain began to pour, enveloping the city. Despite the curiosity of passersby, she had to leave quickly to avoid the rain¡­ The bean-sized rain drenched Ava Lins¡¯ entire body. The rain could not even hide her heart-wrenching sobs. Jeorge Milton, sitting in a ck car nearby, smoked a cigarette and took a deep breath. He leaned back on the cushion, his eyes half-covered. He watched her as if he were watching a y. He worried if she would cry all night. He had smoked a few cigarettes, but she was still crying? Why would she cry? Why was he so impatient? Ava Lins sat down on the floor and sobbed. Suddenly her arm was jerked up. She tilted her head and gave him a sidelong nce. He had the same steely eyes and the same size as Goden Bran, but he was not Goden Bran. Where was Goden Bran at this point? Her eyes welled up with tears. Her hair was damp and stuck to her face, and she looked ghostly. She did not care if he saw her. He was not Goden Bran. Jeorge Milton did not ask where he was going when he pulled her into the car. They remained silent the whole time. He led her to the bathroom, handed her some feminine clothes, and told her to ¡°change!¡± Then she responded and entered the restroom. As Jeorge Milton looked at the restroom door, he thought about his actions. Ava had cried enough and was clutching her phone. Tianra took advantage of everyone¡¯s absence andmitted suicide by bumping against the bedhead.. ¡°Ava Lins, do you want to do this?¡± she asked herself after changing her clothes and taking a look in the mirror. ¡°How are we going to face Goden?¡± She smirked. He was going to divorce her anyway So why not use him as a savior? She smirked, thinking the gods were pulling her leg. He was not outside when she left. She looked, but could not find him. She knocked tentatively on the door of his study. Then she heard him. ¡°Come in.¡± He was standing outside the French window, his hands in his pockets, his back to her. She stood behind him. ¡°Do you remember what you said this morning?¡± she asked boldly. He stared at her. ¡°Can I help you now?¡± Her voice trembled as she swallowed uneasily. Her dark red lips widened and closed, making her look attractive. This woman was stunningly beautiful. ¡°Have you thought this through?¡± he said, his eyes narrowing. ¡°Take off your clothes,¡± he urged softly and saw her nod. Ava Lins took a deep breath and shakily unbuttoned her shirt. The first time she undressed in front of a stranger scared her and made her feel ufortable. He had just unbuttoned two buttons when he grabbed her. His breath seemed to caress her face as he approached her. ¡°I¡¯ll do it,¡± he said, his lips puckered and his grin nasty. His smooth, long fingers undid her buttons and her heart tightened. Was she just going to surrender? This was not Goden Bran¡­ Not the man she desired and dedicated her life to. She could not look at him. Fearing remorse, she simply closed her eyes. When she closed her eyes, she felt stronger. His hands seemed to prate her flesh and tear her heart apart when he touched her. Jeorge Milton felt her fear and trembling, but he could not stop. His wife hand slide over between her legs while she was trembling all over. He chuckled and gently stroked her hair behind her ears. She looked up despite the sorrow in her heart. ¡°Hurry up if you want it!¡± She calmed herself at the thought that she would be defeated by a beast if he made it fast. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry?¡± He leaned close to her ear and grinned. ¡°As you wish.¡± When he finished speaking, he bent down to lift her up. She clung to his neck in horror, afraid she might fall off. As she met his piercing gaze, she sensed that he was heading eagerly toward the chamber. Her heart felt as if it would leap out of her chest. Without waiting for the bed, Jeorge Milton could wait no longer. He felt that he had never desired a woman so much in his life. He set her down, wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her. He pulled her to the bed and tore at her clothes feverishly with his massive hands, forcing her onto the huge bed behind him. His legs were on her legs He shove his tongue into her mouth, devouring her lips, she felt an agonizing sh of pain. He was quite fond of kissing her lips, appreciating her sensitivity . The kiss slid lower, sliding down her neck, lingering on her corbone¡­ His hand slid over her body like an electric wire. This was new to her. He nibbles her skin, trails over to her breast. Her body responded as it should, but her heart felt as if it had been frozen. His fingers slid down to her waist before it went down to her barely covered ass, She moaned when he bit on her sensitive spot, He groped her ass,¡­ He twisted his hips as he plunged into her and growled, his tongue traced outline of her ear. The setting sun hurt her eyes as she opened them slightly. As she watched the strange guy move his hands and legs around her, her eyesight began to blur¡­ She could not help but remember what had happened this morning. Ava Linsy there like a corpse. He kissed her, but she did not answer. Her clothes were off and her messy hair was all over the bed. She tried to ignore the pain by closing her eyes, but she could not¡­ Jeorge Milton felt her trembling. And this trembling was strange.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. When he lifted his eyes, he saw that tears were running down her cheeks. Her beautiful eyshes trembled when she closed her eyes. Chapter 7 She cried so softly that it did not disturb him. But in his heart Jeorge Milton was restless. He desired her. He resisted his body¡¯s need and helped her put on her clothes and fasten one of her buttons. He felt insane, which was even funnier¡­ She opened her eyes and stared at him in surprise. Heughed at her astonishment. Imagine his surprise at a woman¡¯s tears. ¡°Do not stare at me like that!¡± he joked, but she was too frightened to look at him. ¡°I can help you with your sister¡¯s problems,¡± Jeorge Milton said as he rolled onto his side and sat up. ¡°Wake up and get dressed. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± After finishing his sentence, he walked away. Jeorge had already parked the car outside the gate and was waiting for Ava toe down. Instinctively, she moved to the back. ¡°Get in the front,¡± he said as she opened the door. Ava paused in the reviewer mirror, her face flushed. His face lit up with a smug grin. ¡°I am not going to eat you.¡± He leaned forward so quickly that her breath caught and she straightened up. As he helped her fasten her seat belt, he saw that she was being careful. Then, with one hand on the window, he wrapped her in his arms and admired her Chanel gown. His appreciation glowed as he discovered the woman¡¯s second advantage. A beautiful figure¡­ Above all¡­ He smirked at her chest, his lips parted. ¡°I did not think your body was that fantastic,¡± he said, knowing she was fair-skinned. ¡°Do not wear loose clothing anymore, you drive guys crazy, why hide it?¡± Ava Lins was furious, her cheeks heated by his renegade tone. His stares made her feel exposed, even though she was wearing a quilted cotton jacket! ¡°Jeorge Milton, if you say nothing, I shall find you charming!¡± she bit her lip. ¡°You can drive thedies crazy, so why dress up?¡± ¡°Why not naked?¡± ¡°I do not want to wear anything as long as you dare to sit in the car,¡± he teased her. She blushed, but was speechless. The look she gave him made his heart ache and his gaze grow intense. Ava Lins hated being hemmed in by him and burned by his intense gaze. ¡°Hooligan!¡± she said softly as she turned her head and tried to remain calm. He stopped taunting her and raised his lips corners. Ava pouted, looking out the window. They were all unique people who did not want to be insulted and crowned with cruelments. But now that he was here, everything seemed unimportant. Nothing in this world deserved his anger! When Ava stressed the need to exin her connection to him, he looked at her with an inexplicable grin in his eyes. At the entrance of the ward. Ava Lins was waiting at the entrance. He had murmured something to Tianra, but just as she was about to enter, he yanked open the door and left. ¡°Have you told Tianra?¡± ¡°Tell her everything that happened between us today,¡± Jeorge Milton urged, his hands in his pockets. ¡°What?¡± she froze, then looked into his terrible eyes and realized what he had said. ¡°What did you tell Tianra?¡± she jumped up and dragged him to the other side. ¡®Do not you know she¡¯s grumpy? ¡± ¡°Sis!¡± ¡°Sister wanted to talk to you,¡± Omi said, pushing open the door of the ward. Then Ava looked at him angrily and stormed into the hospital room. Jeorge Milton leaned in close to her and grinned teasingly¡­ Ava Lins never expected Tianra¡¯s attitude to change so drastically. She was willing to ept her therapy and talk to her. She said Jeorge would visit me again. .. He was not at the door when Ava left. The thought of her behavior towards him gave her a strange feeling. As if she had wronged him¡­ Omi tried several times that night to urge her to go back and rx, but she always had reasons to stay and take care of her. No one guessed how much she dreaded giving Goden Bran the cold shoulder again.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°Sis, is there something on your mind?¡± he asked . She joked. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Stop lying to me, your smirk is despicable.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the brother-inw, is not it? You will note home like that at night, sis, or Brother-inw will be much more distant. I have always believed that you are too impetuous in your expressions of love. Did not you say that you have to win the man¡¯s appetite first? When you are dealing with a man like my brother-inw, you need a strategy.¡± Is not she brave enough? She was by his side, quietly supporting him in his worst moments. She had even proposed to him. She admitted that she took advantage of the situation. He took advantage of his hurt and offered her marriage. But he could refuse, could not he? The night he promised her, he took the initiative and hugged her first. ¡°Ava, you will not regret marrying me,¡± he added softly. She hoped that marriage would bring them closer. But heaven and earth were not what she had imagined. He not only ignored her, he grew even colder¡­ He came homete at night. Ava saw the light on in the study and knew her father was working. She went into her room and into the bathroom. Chapter 8 Goden Bran heard the door of the study being opened and closed. he did not sip his favourite ck coffee. He spilt the papers and could not settle down. His brain was a muddle and he was striving to make sense of what had happened today. He walked upand growled slightly as he discovered kiss marks on her nec ¡°You can¡¯t wait to find another manbefore we even get divorced? He stood by the window, smoking a cigarette. Ava was shocked to see him as she got in. Ava attempted a grin at his icy look. ¡°Have you eaten yet?¡± she said in a chilly voice. Goden Bran narrowed his gaze and approached her. He gazed at herfuriously, like if she had done something wrong. ¡°Ava Lins, We are not even divorced yet ¡± He grinned, took her by the wrist and pulled her in front of the ss. He persuaded her to lift her head so that they could finish kissing her on the neck. Ava was taken aback. She waspletely unaware of the fuzzy mark that was on her neck¡­ ¡°please hear what I have to say, it¡¯s not that, it¡¯s I¡­¡± ¡°You are in such desperate need of a man to fulfill your lust for sexual pleasure.¡± How could he talk about her in such a nasty manner? When she reached out for him, he pushed her away from him. ¡°Don¡¯t put your hands on me! After he had gotten by her, he reached under the couch and grabbed the keys to the vehicle ¡°Ugh!¡± She struggled to keep up with him and eventually fell to her knees before standing. On the other hand, he mmed the door and ran away. Her ankle burned so badly that she had trouble standing due to the pain. It hurt so badly that she felt like crying out in agony. Goden Bran elerated, The carpierced the air like an arrow, kicking up a breeze that propelled the withered leaves into the air and away from the area. He pressed his foot onto the elerator, which caused the car to speed up. His heart sank as he saw the blue lights and siren ahead go out, and he jerked the wheel around in response, hitting the railing while just avoiding hitting the truck.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.

Goden Bran¡¯s fists balledas he raged He mmed the door, still infuriated. ¡°SHIT!¡± Ava Lins waited for him all through the night, but he did not return. She prepared breakfast in the hopes that he would be able to eat it once he returned home . When the doorbell rang, Ava assumed that her boyfriend had arrived home safely and hurriedly answered it. Goden Bran¡¯s assistant was the man standing at the entrance, and he was the one who assisted Goden Bran in gathering his possessions. Ava was upset. She knew that Goden would feel ill if he drank coffee without eatingin the morning, so she prepared a delicious meal for him and had her assistant bring it to thepany. It took her over an hour to bring him a food. However, Goden Bran spent less than a minute before throwing the package away in the trash can. The Assistant let out a little sigh, but he knew he shouldn¡¯t say anything further. When Goden Bran¡¯s phone rang, he looked at the disy for a while, furrowed his brows, and then pressed the button . ¡°Do you remember making a vow to your mother that you would end up divorcing your spouse? After such a lengthy search, I have finally found some lovely girls for you.

Ava Lins asked Belli Tannu, with a downcast expression on her face, whether she was free to hang out tonight. Belli Tannu said that she was going to spend the night at the home of her friend¡¯s parents. Ava was overjoyed for her, but she mumbled to herself, wondering why she could never find anybody who loved her¡­ She was unaware that she was in the middle of a conference while she clutched the pen. Her colleagues couldn¡¯t take their eyes off of her. A frustrated voice cried out, ¡°Ava Lins!¡± in the distance. As she nced at the manager, she felt a mixture of shock and embarrassment. The manager¡¯s cheeks began to heat up as he waited for a response before asking, ¡°Do you have any concerns with the choice we just made?¡± ¡°There are no problems!¡± Ava gave a little nod in response. How dare she speak up during such a pivotal part of the event? She waspletely unaware of the scheduled gathering. This undertaking will be overseen by Ava Lins as the project manager. ¡°Given that this is the first time thepany has done business with Ciqi Group, we have no choice but to take it seriously.¡± ¡°I have already contacted the Ciqi Group guys that you would be responsible for this project starting today,¡± he said to Ava, who was stunned and perplexed by his words. Chapter 9 ¡°They went to Ciqi Group this afternoon to examine what was going there.¡± Except for Ava, who was startled, everyone had fled. Then she learned her employer had forced her take on the new project. Ava was sad since she had previously taken a lengthier absence, thus the yearly leave would not be valid this year. Ava Lins collected her belongings and traveled to Ciqi Group in the afternoon. She stayed at the business to work and get to know Goden Bran in order to meet everyone. By the time she was ready to return, it waste. As Ava exited the revolving door, she noticed a sports car parked in front of thepany¡¯s entrance. Jeorge Miltonseemed astonished. Was she present? He stubbed out his cigarette, stomped on the gas, and followed her out the door. He had forgotten he was waiting for his spouse to eat. As he cautiously followed her, he seemed to maintain a certain distance. He was right close to her, and she was peering into his eyes. As he remembered her pouring wine on his face, the ckness in his eyes got even more intense. His phone unexpectedly rang. In reaction, Jeorge Milton pressedthe answer button. She was gone when he peered up again. His eyes was lured to her immediately away. He peered around but couldn¡¯t spot her¡­ ¡°Jeorge? Did you hear what I said? Hey¡­ ¡°Hello?¡± He hung up the phone. He got a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but he did not want to ignite it¡­ His lips twisted into a mocking grin.

She called him, wanting to ask shen he woud cme backbut no one answered. What was he doing being sote? Ava would never know that while she was waiting forGoden Bran, hehad brought BelleTannu to his house. He drew Belli Tannu in, and she hurried in after knocking. ¡°Auntie, let me assist you,¡± she grinned as she saw Goden¡¯s mother trimming some flowers. ¡°It¡¯s OK, just walk outside and speak to Goden; he can take you to our garden.¡± ¡°Take her to stroll about, Goden Bran,¡± she murmured to Goden Bran as she pushed Belli Tannu out the door. They entered the backyard, where Goden Bran was at the pool. His ck eyes were serene, and he pursed his lips as though considering. Belli Tannu clutched his hand even more strongly. ¡°Rx,¡± she added, smiling, ¡°I¡¯ll talk to my father about the business venture you are enged in. He would undoubtedly hep you.¡± ¡°Than you Belli,¡± Goden Bran whispered as he brought her into his arms. She shook her head and grinned. ¡°I am here to aid you and us in the future, and I will do everything I can to help you.¡± Emily Howard, Goden Bran¡¯s mother ,hidden behind a locked door, overheard her. She was really satisfied. Unlike Ava Lins, this new daughter-inw was not only attractive, but she could also aid the family¡¯spany¡­ When Goden Bran arrived home, he noticed Ava sleeping on the dining table. As he proceeded toward the stairwell, an unexpected feeling shed / He turned to see her pleasantly sleeping face before approaching her and pulling her up. Her long, straight hair flowed down, obscuring the tears around her eyes. She blinked awake as soon as he raised her. When she heard his footsteps, her heart fell. When he returned, she smirked since she had been humiliated and thought he still cared for her. Ava decided not to pretend to sleep as he ced her on the bed. Her eyes welled up as she threw her arms around his neck Surprisingly, he yearned to grab her hand in his, ¡°What are you doing to me? Is your heart freezing? It will not warm up, no matter how hard I try¡­¡± Goden Bran¡¯s attention couldn¡¯t help but be pulled to her petal-like lips, and¡­ Until he witnessed her close her eyes and hug heraffectionately. He seemed to think of something. He snatched her hand away and scurried away from her like a virus. Then he turned around and went away¡­ As he approached the door, she held him tightly ¡°Please don¡¯t go,¡± she implored cautiously. But he yanked her hand away and made a horrible expression.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Ava had the feeling that he misconstrued the meaning ofst night¡¯s kiss. She raced towards him, obstructing his way. ¡±I can tell you what happened yesterday, Goden. So¡­¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯d believe you?¡± ¡± He cut her off, his eyes ridiculing her. He coughed and averted her sight just as Ava was going to rify something. ¡°I don¡¯t want to dispute with you, this house is for you, and I will stay outside from now on,¡± Goden Bran replied, his heart palpitation as he saw her tears. He approached the door with his back to her Ava nced at his back, expecting things to change But¡­ ¡°you¡¯ve already epted to divorce¡± , he added. Ava Lins followed him through the door with a confused expression on her face. Ava Lins felt as though the world had ended when it came time for her divorce. As she down the stairs, she thought back to the first time she had met Goden Bran, and her anxiety level remained unchanged. The manager extended an invitation to her for a professional dinner. Ava was eager to get outside, but as she was exiting the restaurant, she came dangerously close to colliding with another patron. On the other hand, he had followed her across to the other side. While she went in a leftward direction, the man went in a rightward direction. As soon as she noticed his annoying grin and the tattoos on his hands, Ava knew he was in grave danger. She walked past him to leave, but he reached out a hand and blocked her path. ¡°Miss Lins, please don¡¯t be in such a hurry.¡± How did he manage to remember her name? ¡°Wensor linswas the one who told me that his daughter is married to the head of the Goden Group, and I believe that to be true.

Everyone¡¯s attention was drawn to the dazzling red sports car that was parked just outside the restaurant entrance. Ava cast a quick peek in the direction of Jeorge Milton and found herself staring into his harsh eyes. She pretended to be naive with him, despite the fact that she was flirting with another man at the same time. For some unknown reason, he had an instant mental image of her sobbing on his bed, and it filled him with sorrow¡­C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Perhaps she was just too good of an actress. ¡°Do you know that woman,¡± Feru asked, Jeorge Milton said, ¡°I do not know her, and I would not y with that sort slut¡± When Feru stared Ava Lins, he grinned. ¡°I think she is in trouble now.¡± ¡°This bully likes raping women, this girl can¡¯t be escaped. ¡± Jeorge Milton murmured as he opened the car door and fiddled with the key. ¡°Let¡¯s get going.¡± Ferufollowedhim to the restaurant. The button for the elevator was pressed by Jeorge Milton. When he saw Feru enter, he said, ¡°You go in and I will make a call.¡± Then he exited the room. After he walked out of the hotel, he was no longer able to see them. ¡°Help¡­ As his chest tightened, he nced and saw threeguys grasping Ava Lins¡¯ hand and forcing her into the car. His heart froze. Ava Lins twisted around ¡­ ¡°What are you doing? Let go of me!¡±¡±Stop struggling, no one wille to help you , you¡¯d better save some strength to satisfy me on bed, maybe I will consider let you go ! Avafeels like she could throw up. The man moved his hand toward her face as if to give her a smack. Due of her fear, she drew her head and neck back. The car came to aplete halt all of a sudden. She, too, was on the verge of tumbling. ¡± Brother¡­,¡± the driver said in a trembling voice . His attention was drawn to Lamborghinithat was parked in front of him. Jeorge Milton was sitting on the ledge of the window, reclining back. He indicated for them to get out of the car with a hand gesture. If he hadn¡¯t been able to stop so swiftly, he would have been killed. Who here has never heard of George Milton? He got out of the car and offered him a cigarette. ¡°Bring the womanhere,¡± Jeorge Milton said in a straightforward manner. Jeorge Milton opened the door, and pulled Ava Lins out by the arm. ¡°Jeorge Milton, she is responsible for repaying the money that her dadowes to me,¡± Jeorge Milton did nothing except look at him in silence. ¡°Do you wantmoney?¡± Jeorge Milton smiled and pulled his lips into a sarcastic grin as he mocked Jeorge Milton threw a cheque on the rascal head¡¯s face. The rascal head held and take a look at it, 1000, 000 dors. He bowed and left with his minions immediately. Jeorge Milton held Ava in his arms and get on the car. The car elerated as neon lights shed on the side of the road. The light asionally clouded Jeorge Milton¡¯s face and hid his emotions. ¡°Thank you,¡± Ava said . ¡°You owe them money?¡± ¡± I¡¯ll pay it back, so I will not cause you any problems,¡± Ava said bitterly. He scoffed at her words. Did she think that returning the money would avoid facing him? Without waiting for her reaction, he put the car in gear and turned quickly at the intersection. The body of the car shot out of the intersection, startling Ava Lins, who was holding on to her seat belt. It was the same feeling she had the first time she rode a roller coaster. She waited for it to end, afraid to scream out loud, convinced she would die if it did not stop¡­ A few minutes seemed like an eternity to her¡­ The car finally slowed down and stopped. He leaned against the car door and looked at her from the side. He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it carefully. When Ava opened her eyes, she saw that they had reached the top! When she looked back out of the car window, an arrogant person felt lonely¡­ His slender hands clutched the still burning cigarette. It was a lonely me, and the smoke was slowly fading¡­ Ava had expected him to return soon, but there was no sign of him. ¡°When can I go back?¡± she asked when she finally got out of the car. Jeorge Milton blinked, but said nothing. Ava was afraid of others staring at her. She could not help but wonder if her face was dirty. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Then he lowered his gaze and smiled inside. ¡°Do you need money?¡± he asked, looking down at the neon lights of Britain. ¡°You do not need to know,¡± Ava said. ¡°Can I help you?¡± She looked at him anxiously, but¡­ She thought, he would not just help her. ¡°I can fix it.¡± If she divorced Goden Bran, would not she have to pay a hefty separation fee? The pain brought tears to Ava¡¯s eyes like bitter ck coffee. ¡°Do you really hate me that much?¡± asked Jeorge Milton, turning his head toward her. Why would she refuse help if she did not hate him? She met his gaze and fell silent. She said nothing, but her face said it all. She despised him. Maybe it was because he was a tyrant,.. Because he was so arrogant that she felt helpless without him¡­ ¡°Since you already hate me, it doesn¡¯t matter you hate me more,¡± he said softly. He kissed her and reached for her hair¡­ She stared in disbelief at the man standing inches away from her. When his tongue tyrannically forced her teeth open, she suddenly became clear-headed again and pushed him away energetically, unconsciously pping his face. She covered her mouth and looked at him with a somewhat yful expression! Chapter 11 Ava was so angry that she turned around and walked away in a hurry¡­ ¡°Hey, this is the top of the mountain! It will be morning by the time you walk back! ¡± ¡°Ava Lins! ¡± He shouted, but she had no intention of stopping. He lowered his eyes, his longshes hiding an almost imperceptible smile ¡­ The next day, Ava Lins woke up by the call. She answered the call in confusion, but before she could say anything, someone shouted, ¡°Ava Lins, , why can¡¯t you stop causing trouble for Goden?¡± ¡°Mom?¡± When Ava heard the voice, her mind was much clearer. However, she did not understand what she had done wrong. ¡°Take a look at today¡¯s headlines! ¡°It has been revealed that your father borrowed loans from someone else. ¡± When Ava heard what her mother-inw said about his father, she gripped her phone tighter. Even if they were wrong in this matter, she did not feelfortable hearing others criticize her father. Ava hung up the call without giving her mother inw time to respond.

Ava changed her clothes and hurried to Goden Bran¡¯spany. Goden Bran had been out of thepany , so Goden¡¯s assistant finally gave her his current address and she got to his apartment. She rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one opened. After a long time, footsteps were heard from inside. When the door opened, Goden Bran did not look at her and turned to go back into the house. ¡°I am fine ¡­¡± ¡°Goden ¡­¡± She stopped in the doorway and let out a choked cry. He stopped, looked at her and frowned, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Thinking of him divorcing her because he knew he was going to bankrupt, Ava rushed over and hugged him , ¡°I get it, I get it all. You are going to divorce me because of thepany? Goden, I do not care, I do not care if you have money or not, as long as I am with you, I will be happy, no matter what kind of life I lead, as long as you are here.¡± Goden Bran lowered his head slightly and looked at the girl in his embrace. But he could not be soft-hearted. He could not break his own decision! He walked into the living room and said, ¡°You can go. I did not divorce you because of this.¡± She followed him. ¡°You think I am going to leave you just because you say that? I do not care if you are rich or not, I love you. Goden , please do not chase me away, just let me stay by your side and let me get through this with you. ¡± When Goden Bran heard this, he immediately felt his heart sink into chaos. He did not know how to get rid of this self-righteous woman. With boredom on his face, he took a deep breath: ¡°I do not need you by my side. Ava Lins, why do you stay by my side? You can not help me with anything. I just need you to get out of my sight and stop causing me trouble.¡± Frustrated, he got up and went straight to his bedroom, ¡°I do not have the energy to argue with you. Close the door when you leave.¡± As Ava watched him disappear around the corner of the stairs, she held back the tears in her eyes and secretly made a decision. She would not leave him now, no matter what he said ¡­ Ava looked around and realized that the room was a mess. She did not leave, but helped him clean up the room so that it lookedpletely new and organized. She also prepared lunch ¡­ Time passed quickly, and when Ava finished working and stopped, she suddenly remembered that today she was supposed to present the n to the manager of Ciqi Group, and that there was a meeting ¡­ Jesus! She had actually forgotten! Ava patted her head in annoyance. She took out her phone and saw that there were actually more than ten missed calls. She quickly wrote a note and put it on the table. Then she grabbed the package and quickly left the house ¡­ Goden Bran woke up and drank some water. When he went to the stairs, he found that the entire room had be extremely clean. There was a simple home-cooked meal on the dining table. He took the note in his hand, ¡°Goden , I have something urgent to do, so I must go first. When you get up, you eat something. No matter what you say, I will not leave you if you are in trouble¡­¡± He frowned, crumpled the paper in his hand, and looked angrily at the dishes on the table. Finally, he could no longer suppress the frustration in his heart and swept all the items on the table to the floor with a wave of his hand. The dishes were scattered all over the floor, and a few pieces of the te were broken ¡­ He was not in the least grateful for her kindness. Because at that moment her sacrifice was a burden for him, ¡­ He would prefer to let her scream hysterically and then leave, so as not to waste his time trying to dump her. He had a headache from a cold and the thought of their wedding being dyed was giving him a raging headache. He turned and walked up the stairs to the study. He dialed the attorney¡¯s number and said in a worried tone, ¡°This is not the first time you have handled a divorce case, is it? It¡¯s not so efficient this time! ¡± ¡°I do not care what method you use, just get her to sign! ! ¡± He angrily hung up the phone and threw it on the desk. Then he went to the window and looked into the distance with determined dark eyes. He would not let this woman be a stumbling block for him ¡­ ¡°Miss , you are not an employee of ourpany, but since you have asked to work with us, please take it seriously. You have our vice president wait for you all morning.¡± ¡°Sorry, I ¡­¡± ¡°Alright, do not exin it to me! Our vice president wants to see you, so you should leave your excuses with the vice president. ¡± After saying that, the manager gave her a grim look before leaving w. Trembling, Ava arrived at the vice president¡¯s office. As she raised her hand to knock on the door, she thought about what to sayter. ¡°Why do not you go in?¡± Ava was shocked. When she turned her head and saw the person behind her, her lips pursed in surprise. How could¡­ It would be him! In contrast to Ava¡¯s shock, Jeorge Milton did not seem surprised at all. He was wearing a suit today, and although he was supposed to look serious and dignified. He raised his eyebrows. ¡°You are that surprised to see me? ¡± Ava was a little embarrassed , She reached out to open the door and went inside. When he saw that she was still standing at the door, he turned and looked at her, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I thought you were here to exin why you were sote. ¡± This world was truly mystical! The Ciqi Group was such a bigpany that they actually invited Jeorge Milton to be the vice president. When she looked at his posture, lyingzily on the couch, resting his legs on the table and ying with his metal lighter, how could he be vice president¡­ ¡°Why are not you talking? Do not you have anything to exin to me? ¡± Hearing this, Ava lowered her eyes to suppress her suspicions. ¡°I am sorry, I forgot about the meeting this morning¡­¡± He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her, ¡°How do you want me to punish you? ¡°Should we end our partnership, or ¡­¡± When Ava heard this, her heart contracted, ¡°This is my failure, I will take responsibility for it myself. Maybe thepany will send someone for the design idea.¡± There was no reply to herment for a long time. ¡°I will ask Director to send someone again¡­¡± she apologized with a broken heart. ¡°Do I agree with you leaving?¡± ¡°The consequence for beingte is inevitable,¡± Jeorge Milton replied, ¡°As a punishment, you should apany to a meal.¡±. A fancy car parked in front of Ciqi Group. A middle-aged man in a ck suit walked straight toward the car. ¡°Chairman , the young master has officially started work,¡± he dered as he opened the door. Director Donald raised his brows and looked out the window. ¡°Why did he suddenly agreed to work here.¡± ¡°I do not know why, but is not that what you want ?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s what his mother wants to see,¡± Emos Donald grinned. Jim , keep your eyes open. Report everything back to me.¡± ¡°Is there anything new about the boy I told you to find?¡± he suddenly thought. ¡°Not yet,¡± Jim said, embarrassed. Chapter 12 Emos Donald¡¯s grin faded as he recalled the events of that year¡­ ¡°I need to track him down¡­¡± At the dinner With a grin and a n to sneak away, Ava did her best to decline, but unexpectedly ran into her friend Nathan Hill at the corner. She tried to turn back, but it was toote¡­ ¡°Ava, you are here too?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ava said . Ava was instantly afraid ¡°I have work to do, so I¡¯ll go first.¡± We will talk when we get a chance.¡± ¡°Did you hear what I saidst time?¡± asked Nathan Hill to her. ¡°I saw the woman¡¯s ring on her finger,¡± She hastily took Nathan Hill¡¯s hand away. Ava Lins clenched her chest, desperate¡­ He wanted to divorce her because thepany was in danger¡­ Or was there another woman? She seemed calm when she returned to the private box, but she could not forget what Nathan Hill had said¡­ ¡°Miss Lins, you have not had a single cup of wine tonight,¡± Jimmy, the CEO of the Campell Group ¡®s CEO, grinned, offering her a cup. ¡± Ava stared nkly at the wine cup in front of her, raised it, lifted her head and gulped it down. Jeorge Milton, who was sitting across from her, frowned a little when he saw that she was drinking excessively. ¡°Stop drinking!¡±, a pair of huge hands grabbed her hand and a deep voice said from next door.¡± ¡± I¡¯ll send her home,¡± Jeorge Milton said, frowning. He pulled her out of the room ¡°Miss Lins can not drink, our vice president will send her home,¡± the manager said, embarrassed. Come on, let me toast you.¡± Even with his help, her steps were shaky. Ava freed herself from his clutches as he left the restaurant. She assumed that Goden Bran was still not well at home, because he had neither eaten anything nor taken his medication¡­ She wanted to go to Goden Bran, but she did not notice that she was in the middle of the street. Whoosh She noticed a dark car approaching¡­ He pushed her back, staggered and fell into her, then threw his arm around her waist to hold her. ¡°Do you want to die?¡± Jeorge Milton stared and screamed at her, his throat swollen . ¡°Ava Lins, what are you doing?!¡± She was visibly intoxicated, so peaceful that she seemed to have lost all hope and wished for death¡­ ¡°I want it,¡± he said slowly, while Ava¡¯s eyes sparkled. ¡°I have to visit him, he is not well¡­¡±N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°Let go, I am going to visit him. He needs me now, I can not leave him alone¡­¡± Goden is sick, what if he gets worse? Do you still have self-esteem? The woman in front of him was drunk. Jeorge Milton just felt a crushing blow on his chest when he saw her crying eyes¡­ The man he worried about employ the paparazzi to take fake photos of her affairs with another man, The pain in his heart did not stop him from scolding her harshly,¡±Ava Lins, are you stupid?¡± Ava stared at him nkly, her eyes moist. Tears ran down her pale cheeks¡­ ¡°Come with me!¡± he said, grabbing her hand. No matter how hard she tried, he refused. He took off his tie, started his car and drove out of the parking lot. When he arrived at her apartment, he grabbed her by the waist with one hand, snatched the key from her hand and carried her into the bedroom¡­ The man in the wedding photo clearly did not love her, but she could grin so sweetly¡­ He had just put her on the bed and was about to leave when she grabbed his hand and said, ¡°Do not leave me¡­¡± ¡°Goden, do not leave¡­¡± His heart felt wounded. ¡®Who cares about love? How sad? ¡® He did not take her hands away, but she clutched his palm tightly. She opened her eyes and stared straight at him. ¡°Goden, do not leave me¡­¡± Ava Lins sat up, wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled into his embrace as he grimaced. He was surprised, then heard her murmur softly: ¡°Did not you promise me when we got married that you would start properly?¡± ¡°Did not you swear that I would not regret marrying you?¡±¡± ¡°Why are you so cold? ¡± ¡°Just say it, I will change everything, do not get divorced.¡± Jeorge Milton looked down at the woman in his arms, Warm tears soaked through his clothes. he put Jeorge Milton¡¯s hand on her chest and softly pleaded, ¡°Why did not you try to touch me? ¡± Without waiting for Jeorge Milton¡¯s reaction, she flung herself onto the bed and aggressively kissed him. But he responded. She pressed her lips against his, wanting to ignite his excitement, ¡­ His ck eyes darkened significantly as he peered at her drunken eyes. His chest rose and fell, causing his lower abdomen to bleed. ¡°You made fuck you.¡± He went down to kiss her, but she closed her eyes as if she were asleep¡­ Her eyes were wet . ¡°Ava Lins!¡± he shouted and pinched her jaw. He brushed her curls aside and found that her delicate and attractive face exuded a kind of ssic beauty. On her left eye was a tear-stained birthmark that added to her cuteness¡­ His eyes softened as he tilted his head to look at her. Ava woke up the next morning with an aching head. She rolled onto her back and felt something warm ssh onto her face, as if she had the cool scent of a man in her nose. She cried out and sat upl. She wanted to scream because George Milton was sleeping on her bed. ¡°You¡­ Why are you? ¡± She sat at the foot of the bed, ¡°You have forgotten? You led me here. ¡± ¡°You lied!¡± ¡°You do not trust me? You held my handst night and helped me get undressed¡­ Besides¡­¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Chapter 13 Ava¡¯s mind was a mess at the moment. She did not want to listen. This would turn her world upside down! The sound of a car could be heard downstairs. She hurried to the window and looked out, it was Goden Bran¡¯s car, what should she do? ¡°Get up, get up,¡± Ava said in a panic and rushed over. She could not hide it and reached for his hand. She shoved him into the closet. ¡°Please, can you stay here for now? Do not let the Goden find you,¡± she murmured softly as he approached her. He could not resist. ¡°My clothes are still outside,¡± he said expressionlessly. She hurriedly stuffed his clothes and him in to the closet and closing the door. Jeorge Milton grinned and twisted his lips into a mocking grin. As Ava folded the nket, the bedroom door was pushed open. ¡°You are back,¡± she said with a forced grin. Goden Bran frowned. He went straight to the nightstand, bent down, and took the things out of the drawer. ¡°Did you take your medication yesterday? I was busy, so I did not visit you at the hospital.¡± ¡°This is the prescription I rmended you take when you go to the hospital, if you are sick, you have to take the medicine,¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± He did not reach for her pills. He grabbed his things and walked past her. A bang in the closet greeted him at the entrance. Goden Bran stopped, turned and peered into the closet. Ava Lins¡¯ heart beat to her throat when she heard the tter of the closet door, and her hands shook. He returned, approached her, and again looked contemptuously at the closet door. ¡°I always thought you were a simpleton, Ava. How can you hide a man¡± She had no idea that this ice-cold guy¡¯s mocking could be so painful. ¡°No, Goden, I¡­¡± She reached for his arm, but he pulled it back as if to avoid the sickness. ¡°You still want to defend yourself? Do you take me for a fool?¡± he sneered. ¡°Since you imed you did not, then prove it to me. Open the door!¡± Ava¡¯s heart trembled at this sentence. ¡°What?¡± he scoffed, ¡°you do not dare open it?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you!¡± he shouted, gritting his teeth as he stared into her confused face. Then he made his way to the closet. ¡°I did not do anything to deceive you,¡± she approached him. ¡°Believe me.¡± ¡°Get out!¡± The thought of a man in there made him angry! Omi Lins immediately rushed in the room and made a punch on his cheek. ¡°Omi!¡± said Ava, stunned ¡°Omi, stop it! ¡°Goden Bran!¡± Omi Lins grinned at Goden Bran. ¡°Are you human? ¡± His naive sister was willing to put up for this guy. Not only did he not know how to take care of her, he was even looking for a woman outside! Goden Bran scoffed bitterly as he wiped the blood from his palm. ¡°You scumbag!¡± ¡°Omi, what are you doing! He¡¯s your brother-inw!¡± screamed Ava. ¡°What an ungrateful brat!¡± ¡°Sis, get out of my way!¡± ¡°Omi, please.¡± Ava¡¯s heart ached and her eyes welled up with tears. Omi Lins stared at her, hands clenched into fists, Goden Bran suffered his anger and moved away. Ava sat down quietly on her bed, her heart empty. Omi Lins¡¯ heart ached, but he could notfort his sister. At that moment, the closet door opened. Omi was surprised when the man came out. Jeorge Milton pursed his thin lips as he watched her expression. He jumped up, grabbed his clothes and went out. ¡°Sis?¡± ¡°How could Jeorge Milton¡­¡± ¡°Calm down, Omi.¡± She was exhausted, even her breathing seemed tired¡­ ¡°Let me calm down,¡± Ava said, fighting the desire to cry and the despair. At the bar Jeorge Milton sat in front of the counter drinking the red wine, his eyebrows knotted. He was quite upset now! He felt discouraged, he did not want to stay in the closet, but he remembered how she pitifully clutched him as Goden Bran and told him her deep thoughts. He sat inside, thinking about her feelings and considering going out, until he noticed that she was pale. ¡°Brother, you have fallen in love with some young girl,?¡± ¡°Do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± asked Jeorge Milton, turning to the serious Feru. When they left the bar, Goden Bran hugged Tannu warmly and bowed his head. ¡°This is the CEO of the Goden Group, Goden Bran. Look at thedy next to him, her father is big investor.¡±Feru exined.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. When Jeorge Milton heard this, he stubbed out his cigarette, with a mocking look in his eyes. Ava was in a bad mood when she left his apartment. ¡°Ava, your father has let you down by imposing on you too early the duty of supporting your family and causing you constant grief, Take thispany, you can sell it for a fortune.¡± Chapter 14 Ava stood in the bus stop and cried. She lifted her head ¡­ She knew how much her father loved hispany that he started from scratch¡­ After grandfather died, father was addicted to alcohol, gambling . Ever since she met Goden Bran, she longed for a family. The phone rang. The word ¡°Goden¡± on the screen startled and amazed her. Her phone rang for a while. Hesitantly, she picked it up. ¡°I¡­¡± Ava spotted the street sign. ¡°Jordan.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± ¡°Hey¡­¡± He hung up before she could ask. Ava naively waited for the bus, but the roof of the bus stop was too short, and with the nting rain, she would not even get wet standing in the pavilion¡­ Ava tried to call him, but he was busy. It was raining cats and dogs, followed by thunder and lightning, and soon the whole city was soaked¡­ The street was empty, the sky darkened, and the rain continued. Three hours had passed! In her wet clothes and the cool breeze, she sneezed several times. Jeorge Milton scratched his head wearily as he looked out the window and saw her standing there. ¡°Mr. Milton?¡± The driver quickly handed Jeorge Milton his umbre.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Suddenly, lightning shot across the sky, splitting the sky with a bang, and Goden Bran pulled over in front of her. He saw that she was soaked and sneezing. He pulled her inside the car, where she winced and sneezed. ¡°It¡¯s pouring so hard, don¡¯t you know where to take shelter? ¡°I am afraid¡­ If I leave, you will not find me.¡± Goden Bran looked into her eyes and felt his heart ache. He sat expressionless, , unable to say anything more reproachful. Ava coughed and sneezed. When he heard her cough, he took off his suit jacket, threw it over her shoulder, and wrapped it tightly around her. Ava looked up at him in despair. She would be touched if he treated her better¡­ Goden Bran felt his throat tighten and his heart pound as he looked into her tear-filled eyes. ¡°Thank you,¡± Ava said, pulling her clothes tighter. ¡°Grandmother wants to see you. She still does not know we are getting divorced, so¡­ He looked at her and saw that she was asleep, her white oval face, the thick eyshes and the dark red lips¡­ At the red light, he turned his head to look at his wife, whose wless face was an attractive beauty¡­ Take a hot bath and tell Mrs. Ben to bring you some hot waterter. The elder woman was waiting for Ava. They walked up the stairs. Ava took a nice bath and realized that she had forgotten to take off her clothes. She thought for a long time before deciding to wrap herself in a towel and leave. He could not take his eyes off her because her face was so red and she was wearing only a bath towel that showed her arms and her slender, beautiful legs. He turned quickly to the side . ¡°Drink it ¡± She had never felt so ufortable. His icy stare erased all her confidence¡­ ¡± Goden,¡± ¡°Am I really that bad? So you will not even look at me anymore?¡± ¡°Do not be silly, grandma¡¯s downstairs,¡± he said firmly, his Adam¡¯s apple rolling slightly as he felt the softness and mild scent behind him. ¡°Would you even want to talk to me if it was not Grandma¡¯s birthday?¡± she asked. She¡­ really¡­ Do you detest me that much? . ¡± Goden did not answer her and went downstairs. Dinner, Grandma looked at Goden, signed, and asked, ¡°When do you want to have a baby?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too early,¡± Ava replied, looking at Goden Bran as he carefully ate. Grandma scoffed. ¡°Do you know how long your grandmother can live? When you are busy working, you have to let things go. ¡± ¡°Grandmother!¡± ¡°Do not say any more,¡± said Goden Bran, interrupting his grandmother. Ava giggled, holding Grandma¡¯s hand. Do not hold it against him, grandma. Goden Bran looked at Ava¡¯s happy face and felt something in his heart. Ava Lins was a fool who only knew how to love, and he could easily brush her off. Goden Bran was not a fool. He recognized the value of the investment and did not resist, but he felt a touch of guilty. ¡°How is the divorce?¡± thewyer asked Goden Bran after dinner. ¡°I¡¯ll get them to sign the divorce as soon as possible, Boss. ¡± Thewyer stammered. Ava pushed open the door and sat on the bed as he hung up the phone. She had a headache and was getting colder as they ate dinner. ¡°Goden¡­¡± she said. ¡°Goden, I am a little restless¡­¡± ¡°Rest early, I have some work to do,¡± he said and went out without looking at her. Chapter 15 Looking at the closed door, she assumed he was too busy with his work to help her. She felt good after a good night¡¯s sleep. Having to stay with his grandmother, Goden Bran stayed upte studying before retiring to his room. He sat with his back to her, remembering the moment she stood in the rain today. The concept he had in his head then was suddenly unclear and lost¡­ ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± He turned around and found her curled up in the nket, shivering¡­ His heart contracted as he sat up and turned her body over to check if she was shivering. Her pale white skin and the damp hair on her forehead shocked him¡­ ¡°Ava?¡± He got up from the bed and put a piece of cloth over her shoulders to take her fever. ¡°Uncle Sam!¡± he called as he opened the door. ¡± , ¡°High fever! She would have died if she hade anyter! Goden Bran looked at her pale face y. ¡°Ava Lins, why do you have to be so persistent?¡± he muttered coldly, holding her hand. He despised her bravery and even her admiration for him! But now his heart warmed¡­ He regretted her stubbornness and stupidity, because he could not be with her, not only because he did not love her, but because¡­ ¡°Do not make a fool of yourself anymore and do not force me to do something that will hurt you,¡± he said. ¡°You¡¯ll be happy when you divorce me and leave me.¡± She would no longer suffer if she left him. She would have a simpler, happier life¡­ He wished she would leave him He had no idea that one day she would remember him. He went out and left her alone in the hospital. Ava¡¯s eyes sparkled as the door closed¡­ She blinked and stared at the door in a blur. She was determined. One day, he would fall in love with her¡­ A weekter, Ava returned to work. Her grandmother came to see her at the hospita. When Grandmother mentioned Goden Bran to Ava, Ava could only grin. Her body was still weak from her illness. She sat at her desk,. She wanted to rx, but she dozed off. Jeorge Milton saw that she had been absent for two days, sleeping on the desk. The manager behind him was embarrassed and wanted to walk up to her and wake her up, but Jeorge Milton stopped him . Ava had been workingte at the office. She put her things down and waited for the elevator, but she did not expect to run into Jeorge Milton at that moment. He tilted his head and looked at her as the elevator gently lowered. His prating gaze made her hold her breath and she wondered why the elevator was so sluggish. She just rolled her eyes as she could not take his gaze anymore. Her angry gaze tickled his heart. ¡°Are you sick?¡± he asked with an almost imperceptible grin. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Ava Lins, have you forgotten?¡± ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± asked Ava.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. He smirked . ¡± I helped you pay that ten thousand dors, when did you return it to me? ¡± Ava was unsure since she had no money to return it. ¡°I¡¯ll return it as soon as I can.¡± ¡°I need it now?¡± he worriedly asked. She stared at his grin and realized he was forcing her. ¡°you have two alternatives,¡± Jeorge Milton said, his lips curved up, his grin captivating. ¡°What?¡± He grabbed her wrist, unlocked the elevator door, and dragged her outdoors¡­ ¡°Why did you bring me here?¡± Ava Lins asked the guy beside her as the car approached Jeorge Milton¡¯s mansion. ¡°Get out,¡± he ordered, parking the car and looking sideways at her perplexed face. Seeing her enraged look, Jeorge Milton unlocked the car door and dragged her out, grasping her wrist . ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°Ava Lins, I¡¯m hungry,¡± he repliedzily, his eyes burning with curiosity. ¡°So?¡±¡± This dude was insane! He came looking for her when he was hungry,! She turned and went away, staring. ¡°Let go!¡± Ava yelled back as he grabbed her arm. ¡°Help me cook,¡± he offered gently. ¡°The housekeeper is off for a week. You can rece her this week.¡± ¡°ording to the wage of a servant, I shall subtract it from the one hundred thousand dors.¡± Was this the second way he mentioned? ¡°Or should I go ask your sister for the money?¡± she said, ring at him and pulling his hand away. Or¡­ Tell her what happened¡­ ¡± Ava knew that provoking him would ruin her calm existence¡­ He didn¡¯t let her leave, ¡°You should think carefully .¡± ¡°You¡¯re not frightened of getting poisoned ?¡± Ava clenched her teeth and muttered. Seeing her vibrant back as she walked, his grin became thicker¡­ When Jeorge Milton walked down the stairs, he noticed her cheerfully tearing off the flesh from the kitchen board, and a helpless grin emerged in his eyes, does she regard him like that lump of meat paste? She leapt in fear, and the de sliced her finger before she couldpletely grasp it. Ava screamed in agony as she saw her fingers sliced open. ¡°Why are you so careless?¡± he said, taking her hand and leading her to the counter to wash her hands. His voice was soft, warming her heart. She naively gazed as he helped her cleanse her wounds, her eyes moistened. ¡°Ava Lins, you ¡®re so young?¡± His sarcastic tone made her heart throb. Looking at his face, Ava imagined a frigid face. He raised his eyes, recognizing her stare, and she swiftly bowed her head, her tears quietly dripping. Chapter 16 Despite knowing she wasn¡¯t sobbing due to pain in her hand, he murmured quietly, ¡°It hurts? ¡°It aches so hard.¡± It seems to be serious. ¡°You willmand while I take care of it,¡± he added, looking at the kitchen¡¯s prepared items. ¡°It¡¯s time for me to go back,¡± Ava said hastily. ¡°Wait! Stay, I can¡¯t eat all them,¡± he said, grabbing her arm. ¡°Today is my birthday¡­¡± he said disappointingly as Ava was ready to reject. ¡°But, the two women I like are both leaving me on my birthday¡­ The first is my mother. ¡± When Ava heard this, she choked . ¡°Mum died in a car crash. She didn¡¯t even have time to say goodbye.¡± She looked surprised at him, . Ava couldn¡¯t help but think about her mother¡­ ¡°If you had told me earlier, I would have¡­¡± she moaned, her eyes damp. ¡°Jeorge Milton, happy birthday,¡± Ava apologized. She grimaced, realizing she had been duped. ¡°It¡¯s just a random tale, and you still believe it?? ¡± She was so enraged she wanted to strangle him¡­ Ava gritted her teeth. So she turned and left. Jeorge Milton shook the contents in the cup with one hand. His lips curved, but he didn¡¯t smile¡­ Ava came home. When she opened the door, she found herself alone in an empty home. She didn¡¯t want to return. She didn¡¯t enter, but went out, until the number of people on the street began to reduce. Ava opted to spend the night with Belli Tannu. Ava rang the doorbell of Belli Tannu¡¯s t, but no one answered. ¡°Belli Tannu, Belli Tannu?¡± she knocked again. ¡± She pulled out her phone and called Belli Tannu. Belli Tannu¡¯s phone rang out inside the home. ¡°What shall we do?¡± she said, resting on Goden Bran¡¯s chest,. ¡°Ava is just outside. Why don¡¯t you hide in the guest room ? ¡± ¡°Why do you want me to hide?¡± Goden Bran questioned, raising her lower jaw.¡± ¡°You¡¯re cruel, ,¡± Belli Tannu said pleasantly, pushing his hand away. ¡°If we do this, I¡¯m worried Ava won¡¯t be able to ept it,¡± she replied, s ¡°Since you don¡¯t want her to know, don¡¯t say anything,¡± he said, his eyes narrowing slightly. Pretend you missed it.¡± ¡°Huh? Ava Lins stepped downstairs and discovered that her home was already dark¡­ He kissed her in the dark. Ava¡¯s mental condition was poor the following morning. She continued yawning and fell asleep, leading to a meeting when she realized she had left her design n at home and neglected to take it. Ava continued apologizing to the enraged manager. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Jeorge Milton sat and coughed. When the manager nced over, he looked like he had just swallowed a fly. So he didn¡¯t dare to spit it out or swallow it. ¡°Tomorrow!¡± he said, remembering to bringpany. Ava sighed, and returned to her seat as the meeting proceeded.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. After a brief acquaintance, she felt a searing re on her face, greeted by Jeorge Milton¡¯s deep eyes. She appeared very sensitive. She rushed home after work when the hospital called. The hospital had given them a deadline if they did not pay their debt by then they would be prepared to depart. ¡°Ourpany share can sell a lot of money, can you persuade Goden Bran to help us?¡± Omi said angrily: You should not give ourpany shares to that scum! Ava was breathless. Then she just thought about assisting Goden Bran get through the bankruptcy situation, now so many problems weighing down on her like enormous hands. ¡°Hello,¡± she said tiredly as she exited the hospital. ¡°Where? ¡°I¡¯m at home,¡± Ava said calmly, remembering the second way he describedst time, which caused her even more of a headache. ¡°I¡¯m going to bed. ¡± ¡°Sleeping? ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then¡­ How do you look? ¡± Why did he ask that? ¡°Sleep¡­¡± she said, holding her phone and resting in bed. ¡°Ava Lins, your pajamas are incredibly stunning. It exposes a lot .¡± ¡°¡­¡± When Ava heard this, she felt hit by lightning. She turned around unconsciously. Sure enough, he was behind her. His phone remained at his ear, and a cheeky grin adorned his dark eyes. He approached her and stared down at her, his hot breath caressing her face. ¡°Where will you sleep?¡± he taunted. ¡°Outside the hospital?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ava gazed at him, mouth open, confused by his presence behind! Ava Lins was sad in his car for a long period. When the car stopped in front of her home, she was surprised. Wasn¡¯t he there to rece his servant? He stared at her, his eyes as dark as the night outside the window. ¡°You won¡¯t get out of the car?¡± he taunted. Ava didn¡¯t ask any more questions. She only said ¡°thank you¡± and exited¡­ The wind was so fierce as she stepped out of the car that her hair danced¡­ The cold breeze stung her, making her feel chilled. Then she noticed it was bing chilly. Chapter 17 Goden Bran didn¡¯t take all his winter gear. Is he cold? Ava nced at the items in the closet. She was just checking the forecast, but it¡¯s going to be really chilly tomorrow. He gained everything, but he lost her. She d hurriedly packed Maybe she was a little insane. When Goden Bran opened the door, he noticed her carrying his garments and standing at the entryway, and he grimaced slightly in surprise. He nced at her clothing and felt unhappy. ¡°It¡¯s already cold,¡± Ava faked a grin. He stared at her, but a knot in his throat stopped him. Goden Bran didn¡¯t want her toe in and seat when he saw her standing there coldly. ¡°Then¡­ I¡¯ll go back first,¡± she grinned bravely. Then he left. It was already 3 a. m. She didn¡¯t think much about it when she left. She walked alone since she couldn¡¯t get a cab. Suddenly, huge lights illuminated the road ahead. ¡°Get in,¡± Goden Bran said as he sat in the car, horn ring. Ava never expected him to emerge. She looked nkly at him, but she knew it wasn¡¯t genuine. ¡°Get in the car!¡±¡± So, when he spotted her upstairs with the garments in her hands, he couldn¡¯t take it longer and grabbed the car keys and pursued her down. Ava didn¡¯t say anything until the car passed London Square, where she remembered inviting him here and asking, ¡°Goden, may we get married?¡± ¡°Are you regretting marrying me?¡± she questioned after a long pause. Hearing this, he nced at her with puzzled eyes and pursed lips, without uttering a word. His stillness made her weep. ¡°Ava¡­¡± he murmured afterwards. ¡°Don¡¯t say anything, okay? She feared that if he called her name, she might be able to express what had wounded her heart. Ava Lins didn¡¯t want him to watch her cry. Goden Bran¡¯s heart suddenly became heavy?

His dark eyes looked at her for a long time, making Ava nervous. ¡°Ava Lins, you have a favor to ask of me right now, your attitude is appropriate? ¡°Prepare and join me to a banquet,¡± he said, as Ava turned around to go. I can grant your wish.¡± Her Green dress encircled her breast, making her fear her skirt might copse at any minute.

So this is a misunderstanding, I¡¯m not blind, I¡¯m extremely clear!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t pretend you¡¯re hurt, did I say something wrong?¡± Goden Bran sneered, taunting her. ¡°Would you have gone to the hotel with him if I hadn¡¯t seen you?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your love too cheap, Ava Lins, or do you say that to every man?¡± Ava couldn¡¯t respond to his harsh criticism She hurriedly catch him before he could snort and escape. ¡°Goden, don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Go!¡± ¡°I was merely taking George Milton to the dinner.¡± ¡°Go!¡± He was irritated and didn¡¯t want to see her for a second. He yanked her hand away and shook it. He didn¡¯t want to get too upset and punch her. Ava Lins was wounded, agony crept into her bones, and her skirt was ripped. Just as Jeorge Milton was leaving, he spotted this. He stepped up to Goden Bran, tightened his hands, and smacked his fist into his face. The hit caught Goden Bran off guard, and he took a few steps back . Goden Bran¡¯s rage red up again. He rushed forward to retaliate, and the two guys fought. You don¡¯t even know whose women you¡¯re messing with, George Milton!¡± ¡°I, Goden Bran, have never looked you in the eye since my family is wealthy and strong!¡± Jeorge Milton threw his fist after hearing the provocation.

No more fighting, she implored with Jeorge Milton. What gives you the right to beat him?! Goden Bran forced Jeorge Milton to the ground . Goden Bran exited furiously, wiping his lips and getting into his car¡­ The neon light cast their shadows diagonally on the ground. The chilly breeze made her seem skinny.

Why do you care about my connection with him? !¡± she screamed, her eyes bloodshot. ¡°Why did you treat me like way, Jeorge Milton?¡± Why won¡¯t you let me go? Or do you think it¡¯s amusing to toy with a woman who is weaker than you and watch her suffer? ¡± She loathed his threats and his sudden aid! Why did he have to abuse her like this? She clenched her lips hard, ignoring the sorrow in her heart and the tears in her eyes. She didn¡¯t want him to go¡­ Why else would he drive the car downstairs after drinking with Feru? ¡°Yes!¡± he responded angrily before she reprimanded him for messing with her.

His future is bleak with her like this! Belli Tannu rushed forward ¡± Have you divorced?¡± Belli Tannu gazed at him. ¡°Can I marry you earlier?

The Goden can¡¯t do this!¡± ¡°I will go and question them personally, if Mr. Lark used tactics to get divorced solely for money, you know the result!¡± After she finished speaking, she went to Goden Bran¡¯s door. She opened the frigid door, astonished. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Ava was eager to exin, but she saw a woman¡¯s bra on the couch¡­ As though something was trapped in her throat, she couldn¡¯t utter it out loud. ¡°You must have just woken up and not eaten,¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go make something for you first,¡± she said hastily, dropping her head so he wouldn¡¯t see her tears.

She watched everything that urred, yet she didn¡¯t even question him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you have no appetite?¡± she said, knowing well that he was going to reveal his cards. ¡°Ava Lins, quit trying to flee, go ahead and divorce,¡± Goden Bran replied, frowning. ¡°Isn¡¯t your sister in need of surgery? I¡¯ll pay for it.¡± ¡°You can have that house¡­¡± He only wanted her to consent to the divorce and go. Her presence would destroy his ns¡­ Ava gazed at him, saw his lips open and shut, but said nothing. Did he really want her to leave? Did he really despise her? ¡°I¡¯m a little uneasy. We can speak about itter,¡± she said, interrupting him. After work, her coworkers left. Omi¡¯s ss teacher suddenly called her. Omi has always skipped school to work at a bar. Ava Lins felt a twinge in her heart when she saw Omi dressed as a waiter and greeting customers. Omi Lins looked behind and spotted her. Ava went forward, grabbing Omi¡¯s hand. Go ! How did he wreck his future in his third year of high school? ¡°Sis!¡± I can¡¯t go, I only have one month¡¯s pay left! ¡± ¡°No! ¡°Go back to school!¡± ¡± I can¡¯t let you bear all the burdens alone.¡± When Ava heard this, her eyes zed. Omi was gifted and intelligent. Dropping out of school would ruin his future. Regardless of Omi¡¯s words, Ava would drag him away. He suddenly saw Mr. Lark joking with others. The mention of her by Mr. Lark made her pause and approach the door. ¡°We¡¯re simply assisting each other, if Boss can obtain a divorce easily, it¡¯s all owing to Boss Milton¡¯s assistance that we were able to acquire the picture,¡± Mr. Lark said. ¡°She has no position or background, and her appearance is in..¡± ¡°Boss is desperate to get rid of her. So, if she truly does go off with another guy, it will save him a lot of difficulty.¡± Ava instantly grabbed Omi¡¯s hand and dragged her out of the bar. ¡°We can¡¯t let him get away with it!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to get something from him for our father.¡± ¡°Omi, can you listen to your sister? Go back, go back to school, and study ¡± Ava yanked him. Omi Lins nced at her, her eyes wet with sorrow. Ava waited for Omi to go. Her heart sank as the chilly breeze swept by.

Hearing this made Ava chuckle. Was he still going to lie? ¡°Do you not understand?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that why Mr. Lark helped your cousin win thewsuit?¡± Her eyes were watering as she said this. She clenched her lips to stop the tears. ¡°I was handled like a chess piece,¡± she sighed sadly. ¡°Who told you?¡± said Jeorge Milton. ¡°What does it matter who said it?¡± she mused. ¡°Please go, I don¡¯t want to see you again!¡± Ava screamed, turning away from him. ¡°In the future, Jeorge Milton, don¡¯te in front of me! I¡¯ll quit and dere I¡¯m not qualified for this project.¡± Ava Lins didn¡¯t switch on the lights all night. She was the only one in the vast vi, alone on the big crimson bridal bed.

From his vantage point, she was stunningly lovely. Hearing footsteps, Ava turned to face him. With her charming smile, red lips, and gleaming teeth, she made him feel unfamiliar. Is this his wife? Ava Lins smiled at him. ¡°Are you free today?¡± she asked, her voice hushed. ¡°Will you¡­¡± ¡°I have something to say to you,¡± Ava said bitterly. The chilly wind tossed fall leaves into the sky, leading Ava to sigh with sorrow, ¡°Time flies, it has already been two years¡­ She saw him. ¡°Do you remember our first meeting?¡± He purred his lips, slightly frowning. ¡°Have you forgotten?¡± she said cruelly. ¡°Your ball rolls to my feet,¡± she replied, pointing to the field. Goden Bran stared towards the stadium. ¡°I¡¯m going to call Belli Tannu,¡± he said, looking at the screen¡¯s phone number. Then he went to the side. Ava squinted at his back. She wouldn¡¯t have met him if she hadn¡¯t gone to Britain University . Her eyes dimmer as she read the divorce papers. ¡°I¡¯m really busy and have things to do. Don¡¯t waste time. There¡¯s something I want to speak to you about¡­¡± he said impatiently. ¡°Our divorce¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve signed, so I won¡¯t say anything else.¡± Ava stopped him and smiled as she handed him the divorce papers.

Why do you need to do something I don¡¯t want to do? Ava gazed over and smiled . ¡°I brought you here today to remind myself that time cannot alter you.¡± She wanted to weep, but not in front of him. ¡°Tell Mr. Lark I¡¯m heading to Civil Affairs Bureau,¡± Ava murmured, taking a deep breath, and turned to go. ¡°Ava!¡± He unconsciously touched her arm. Ava Lins faced him. ¡°Mr. Goden Bran, is there anything else?¡± she said, her tone faraway. He wanted to say something, but he wasn¡¯t sure what to say . Chapter 21 He lost control. ¡°Let me make it up to you,¡± he said hopelessly. Perhaps he could make amends financially to put her mind at rest. ¡°How much would you pay a woman who loved you?¡±¡± Avaughed. She took his hand and walked away, leaving him with a resolute back. Goden Bran walked out, and the driver opened the car door, but paused and looked at the boss. He immediately remembered. For two years, every detail had flooded his thoughts. She went in front of him and confidently requested, ¡°Is Goden Bran dating anyone? ¡± Now she was quietly informing him about the divorce. His heart felt a little void. ¡°Boss Goden Bran, you have a meeting in the afternoon,¡± the driver reminded him. ¡°What day is it today?¡± Goden Bran said, his lips curling in a sad grin. ¡°Thirteenth.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the graveyard,¡± he said after a pause. His steps halted in front of Cary Bran¡¯s gravestone.

The wine was intense, and the spice slipped down her throat, making her want to weep.

A mournful grin emerged on her lips when she realized he was weary of her dullness and had gone through thick and thin with other women¡­ Who saiddies couldn¡¯t lie? She was enraged, wondering whether there were any men out there who were interested in her Ava nced about, but none of them grabbed her attention. Being a lover was nothing unusual.

As if Ava needed further proof that there was still a guy interested in her body¡­ She approached a guy who resembled Goden Bran, but after just a few steps, she nearly fell down, but someone nearby reached out to help her ¡°Are you okay?¡± Jeorge Milton frowned, but she squinted and cocked her head, as if she didn¡¯t recognize him.

We¡¯re already done, so waiting here would be a waste of time,¡±Belli Tannu¡¯s mother grinned. ¡°That¡¯s correct, if you have anything , go first,¡±Belli Tannu¡¯s father agreed.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°I¡¯ll simply hire someone to take care of it,¡± Goden Bran joked. Afterwards, everyone got down and spoke about his and Belli Tannu¡¯s marriage. ¡°Uncle, I have affairs to attend to, therefore I¡¯ll be taking my leave first,¡± he jumped up immediately. He exited the restaurant with a big stride after respectfully leaving. Belli Tannu had pursued him, but she couldn¡¯t catch him. The road¡¯s neon light sometimes illuminated his face. Goden Bran squinted and drove straight into the hotel¡­ Chapter 22 The night was dreary. The ck car halted outside the shop. Jeorge Milton walked out of the convenience shop with water in her hand.

Or are you going somewhere?¡± Ava Lins said, her lips twisted and her eyes unfocused. It made him angry. He scowled and narrowed his eyes at her, believing she would be just as provocative if it wasn¡¯t him. ¡°Are you sure you want to do this?¡± he said, his fingers stroking her lips. ¡°Kiss me¡­¡± Ava pretended not to hear. Instead, she encircled his neck, like if she were about to die. Maybe she was too inebriated, but she felt the stimtion and didn¡¯t mind the odor on his body¡­ A mild aroma hit Jeorge Milton¡¯s nostrils, generating heart ripples, yet he remained sensible. ¡°I¡¯ll give you one more opportunity, there¡¯s still time to refuse¡­¡± he said, his gaze deepening.

He said he liked her¡­ He wasn¡¯t a decent guy and he didn¡¯t want to miss out. She took the initiative to press a lip on his lips. It made him lose control, making his whole body..

He couldn¡¯t help but grasp the back of her head and kiss her soft lips as he entered the elevator. When the elevator door opened, he grabbed her hand and ran to the apartment. He rushed her against the locked door, his hot lips kissing her ear, making her body shake¡­ ¡°You are so lovely¡­¡± His crazy kisses forced her against the wall and tore her garments as he locked the door¡­ His kiss was urgent and domineering, something Goden Bran had never did for her. Her body shook as she felt his massive hands move. Her reason tormented her as she reacted. Her heart became a little sour thinking he was a stranger. She felt as if her heart was stopped by a rock and it was impossible to even breathe when she remembered all Goden Bran had done to her, that contemptuous nce, that expression that made her wish she didn¡¯t exist¡­ She wanted to numb herself from any thoughts of Goden Bran. She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes to absorb his kiss. His zeal made her shiver. Never before has a guy clung to her like this. He had already crushed her to the bed.

His pulse throbbed as he stroked her silky smooth hair. ¡°Baby, you¡¯re so gorgeous¡­¡± he said quietly. ¡°So ufortable¡­¡± she muttered, her mouth slightly wide. He tried to contort her body to a morefortable posture. Ava was heated, and her thoughts was a jumble. Even though she was asleep, tears still poured from the corner of her eyelids, softly soaking into the pillow¡­ He first mistook her emotional state for her body¡¯s unusual warmth. His heart sank as he stretched out to touch her brow. Then he saw her fever! She was sick! ¡°Ava Lins?¡± He cried out many times, but she only scowled and opened and closed her lips as if murmuring something. SHIT! ¡°Uncle Sam, I¡¯ll have to bother you toe over,¡± he said, as he was on the edge of death. Only the old doctor, Uncle Sam, could call him that. Jeorge Milton sat on the edge of the bed, observing her ufortable frowning and Goden Bran¡¯s name still muttering in her lips. He didn¡¯t have the heart to take her after viting the rule twice, but she was thinking about other guys while shey under his body!

Uncle Sam stepped to the door, red at Ava Lins sleeping on the bed, groaned, and left. Ava Lins¡¯ feversted all night,. To avoid falling asleep, Jeorge Milton could only sit by her side, one hand on her head, and watch her motions. Jeorge Milton couldn¡¯t fight back his tiredness, so he closed his eyes and slept. He¡¯d open his eyes, nce at her, and then shut them again. He rested his fingers on her brow. He turned his head to stare at her palm-sized face, after ascertaining that she did not have fever again. Her ckened eyes showed an unseen affection. Chapter 23 Ava could sleep better now that her fever had gone down. Her kitty-like stance made one want to hold her ¡­ He always did what he wanted, and after he grabbed her, he found afortable position for both of them. The sun and heat were too much for Ava¡¯s eyes. Intense beams of light streamed out of her eyes, putting her in a trance. Faced with the bright light, she noticed a face. Ava¡¯s blurry eyes lit up with astonishment when the sight became apparent. Why him! Her mouth was wide open, the vision of her drunken night at a pub, the strange guy in a car, and finally the hotel¡­ Images flooded in her head.

All she could remember was kissing him in the car, elevator, and being so hungry¡­ Wouldn¡¯t Jeorge Milton believe she was a woman dissatisfied with her own desires? Ava sucked in a breath as she saw the skyscrapers speed past. She was torn. Then, when she opened the door, she saw Goden Bran¡¯s car in the garage. She was puzzled when she went down the corridor and found her grandma speaking. Ava was perplexed. ¡°Ava is back,¡± Grandma smiled when she saw her. Ava mustered a grin and sat next her grandmother. Goden Bran¡¯s inquisitive stare had not left her since she entered the room, as if waiting for a chance to question her sternly. Ava¡¯s skin was pale. Maybe it was the first time she didn¡¯te home at night. ¡°Are you tired living there and apaning Grandma,¡± Grandma smiled and grasped her hand. ¡°How can it be? I wish my granny lived with me,¡± Ava said. ¡°I was overjoyed,.¡± The elderly woman grinned. Seeing Ava¡¯s poor look, ¡°You already told mest night that you wanted to visit your sister again at the hospital, how could anything like that happen? Hearing this, Ava gazed surprised at Goden Bran, her eyes burning . Goden Bran coughed quietly, put his palm over his mouth, and whispered, ¡°Boil some medication for Grandma. You should rest upstairs. The elderly woman knew she had to make room for the pair. She stood and grinned. ¡°OK, I¡¯ll go upstairs and rx.¡± After Grandma went, the air grew stuffy. Goden Bran¡¯s intense stare rested on her. She didn¡¯t feel bad in front of him since she knew they had already signed a divorce agreement¡­ It became easier as she thought about it. Why should she feel sorry for him when he was the first to go? She got up, walked upstairs to pack, and the door shut behind her. She walked to her wardrobe and got dressed. ¡°Did you go out?¡± He questioned her. Her grandma was here, and she didn¡¯t go home at night. ¡°Do I need to tell you, Mr. Bran?¡± ¡°Who are you with, Ava Lins? ¡± His voice was awful, like though Ava had never heard him like this. She got weaker as she faced his rage. ¡°Please step aside, I still have to pack my stuff,¡± Ava said, biting her lip as he questioned her. ¡°Packing up? Why are you so eager to move to Jeorge Milton¡¯s ce?¡± he scoffed. Goden Bran¡¯s heart sank as he remembered how she spent the night with Jeorge Milton. He grabbed her wrist and yanked her close to him, forcing her garments to tumble on the ground. ¡°What are you doing, get off of me!¡± she screamed violently as he clenched her wrist. ¡°Ava Lins, before we formally divorce, you are my legal wife!¡± ¡°So tell me who you were withst night and what you did with him!¡± Ava saw his wrath and distrust. His eyes were hot and his hands prickled. ¡°You already know what Jeorge Milton and I did, so why do you ask?¡± She just wanted to pack her bags and escape. He snatched her bag and flung it on the ground, picking up the items on the ground and cing them into it. He was so enraged . He couldn¡¯t stand her ignoring him now! She fought to withdraw her hand, but he held on tight. Goden Bran let go of her hand as they drew apart. Suddenly, his rage gave way to remorse. Hecked confidence after seeing her silently drop her head, but he refused to believe it was his fault. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have provoked me like this,¡± he said. Hearing this made her grin and cry. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have provoked you, I shouldn¡¯t have!¡± she sneered.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. She fought hard to hold back her tears but failed. Suddenly, all the annoyances and pains pour out. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go now; you should be pleased; it¡¯s time to bring your darling girlfriend to live here, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°The divorce agreement was sent to you yesterday afternoon, remember? Did you ever feel sad for me while I was with Jeorge Miltonst night? Why are you so daring to ask me?¡± Maybe she was too furious, yet her voice trembled. She sobbed¡­ Chapter 24 After a few deep breaths, she resisted the impulse to weep. She could barely bear the ache till her eyes stung. She knew she was cheap and silly in his eyes, therefore she didn¡¯t want to be so¡­ The room became quiet. Ava nced at her strewn garments and wanted to continue speaking, but her voice was strangled with grief and she couldn¡¯t. Goden Bran slowed down as he leaned down to assist her up. But she ducked and stood up, braced. After just a few feet, her legs gave out and she copsed in front of his eyes. At the hospital. Goden Bran sat beside her sickbed, staring at her pale face, as though meditating. He raced to the Shangri-La Hotel after the dinnerst night, but they weren¡¯t there¡­ He couldn¡¯t understand why she had raced there. He pondered it and realized he didn¡¯t want her with Jeorge Milton! Who else might she be with than Jeorge Milton? Even if it was that year, he wouldn¡¯t be that worried! He gave Mr. Lark the divorce case, and when Mr. Lark showed him the images, he flung them all on the ground in rage. Shouldn¡¯t he be calm? He was waiting for Ava Lins to n against him since she knew this was a conspiracy. But when he saw their images, he was so angry that Mr. Lark didn¡¯t dare to speak. After not seeing his grandmast night, he had to return. He waited in the study room till the sun came up, his first fear gone. He pondered why he lost his temper and almost insulted Belli Tannu¡¯s father because of her. He was cautious and conservative, yet he lost his calm. He didn¡¯t want to ask anymore, but when he saw her return, he couldn¡¯t stop himself. Goden Bran nced at her, his eyes dimming. He realized he shouldn¡¯t have grown close to her and shouldn¡¯t have continued to engage with her¡­ Otherwise, she may have ruined it all for him. The following day, Belli Tannu¡¯s beaming face appeared. ¡°Are you better?¡± ¡°Do you need water?¡±C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Belli Tannu grinned and asked some personal questions, making Ava feel immediatelyfortable. Her cheeks flushed as she clutched Belli Tannu¡¯s hand. Goden Bran and I split up. ¡± ¡°When was this? ¡°Years ago.¡± ¡°Actually, I already knew that you had an affair,¡± she said, taking a long breath. Belli Tannu was shocked, Ava Lins was so ovee with grief ¡°Do you remember what I said before? Someone told me that he had an affair, but I refused to ept it. I was inclined to trust him as long as he didn¡¯t tell me in person. ¡± She loved him too much to imagine he had another woman outside, so she deceived herself and trusted in him¡­ She grew enraged at her own stupidity ¡°Do you, Belli Tannu? Mr. Lark¡¯s words made me realize how much he disliked me and how foolish I was. ¡± Belli Tannu, felt relieved and worriedly, ¡°Do you dislike him, Ava? ¡± ¡°Do you doubt him and go to his firm to find trouble?¡± ¡°Will you actually divorce like this? I never considered vengeance¡­ and¡­. ¡± She was scared Ava Lins would be dissatisfied and rush over to cause problems, so how would she still have the face to behave like a human in the future? Ava smiled, her lips curled ¡°You¡¯re angry for me, but am I not? What more can I do than sign the divorce agreement? Sob? I don¡¯t want Goden Bran to look down on me more. ¡± Belli Tannu couldn¡¯t be more pleased as she listened, knowing she wouldn¡¯t create any issue. She hoped Ava could help Goden Bran. Goden Bran¡¯s guilt towards her would be broken. But, as Ava Lins had said, would Goden Bran really shatter if she didn¡¯tin or cry? ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Belli Tannu? ¡°I¡¯m simply wondering how you do it.¡± Belli Tannu stretched her hand and sped Ava Lins¡¯ hand, asking, ¡°Ava?¡± ¡°Hmm? ¡°Can you forgive me if I do something bad and still be your friend?¡± Ava felt a pang of worry as she saw her serious face. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m worried you won¡¯t forgive me.¡± Belli Tannu purposefully brushed her brow hair, showing small scars. Ava was reminded of the moment when Belli Tannu rushed to her aid. That scum¡¯s hands would have destroyed her if not for Belli Tannu. ¡°Fool, no matter what you did wrong, I will forgive you,¡± Ava smiled and sped Belli Tannu¡¯s hand. Belli Tannu nced at Ava Lins¡¯s grin, but in her heart she wished she could really forgive her,e to her wedding, and bless her. If they couldn¡¯t gain Ava Lins¡¯ blessing, how would others see her? That she took away her dear friend¡¯s husband? It would be different if Ava Lins could still befriend her. Knock knock¡­ ¡°My sister¡¯s not well, the doctor said she has to rest longer, don¡¯t bother her here,¡± Omi said, leading Ava to nce over and find Omi standing at the entrance with a poorplexion. Ava was astonished by Belli Tannu¡¯s sour face. Why would Omi say such a thing? Seeing she wasn¡¯t moving, Omi opened the door ¡°Goodbye!¡± Belli Tannu couldn¡¯t remain long since she understood what Omi Lins meant ¡°So I¡¯ll return first. Rest well.¡± She stopped walking and nced at Omi Lins, sensing his disdain, she grimaced and had to go away. As she exited the hospital, she heard a scream ¡°But!¡± Omi Lins raced over, re-stuffed the fruits bag into Belli Tannu¡¯s hands, and shouted, ¡°If you feel you¡¯ve let my sister down, don¡¯t go in front of her again!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go too close to my sister!¡± Belli Tannu couldn¡¯t take it anymore, she retracted her normal kind and friendly demeanor ¡± Omi, your sister truly likes me.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Omi clinched her hands, rage in her eyes. ¡°If you truly want your sister not to be wounded, be more nice next time you meet me!¡± Belli Tannu smiled and touched her cheek. Chapter 25 Belli Tannu turned away and snorted. ¡°Sis!¡± ¡°I want to read now,¡± Omi said, pulling a book from her rucksack. Was she trying to silence her? Ava sat alone, sometimes looking at Omi, who sat in the light behind her. A ck Audi A8L was parked in front of the hospital as she left. The guy she didn¡¯t want to see stood near the door, appearing as if he knew she¡¯d follow him. Maybe it was because he was heading to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get his divorce certificate, but she didn¡¯t want to speak to him. She headed in the other way, aiming to swiftly grab a cab. She was terrified when she saw his car approaching. He sat in the car, window pulled down, and gazed at her expressionlessly ¡°Enter..¡± Ava gazed at his stony face, thinking: ¡°Why should I obey you ?¡± He pulled open the car door and moved up to her , holding her arm, but mistakenly grabbed her hand ¡°Don¡¯t test my patience . ¡°Then what do you think I should do? Do you expect me to obey your directions like I used to?¡± Ava said cruelly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but when we married, I failed to inform you that I had my own anger,¡± she said regretfully. He had no idea that his wife, in addition to being obedient, would also be defiant and even dismissive. As they were discreetly servicing each other, a dominant expensive car approached. ¡°Get in,¡± Jeorge Milton murmured provocatively as the car window slid down. Goden Bran waited for Ava¡¯s reply. She¡¯ll exin¡­ She intended to go towards Jeorge Milton¡¯s car, but Goden Bran lost control and reached out to grasp her arm. Ava waited for him to speak. She hoped that before she gave up, she might forget his nastiness and revert to her previous self. What was he doing? She sat in Jeorge Milton¡¯s car, releasing his hand. His stare burned her, but she refused to look at him. Jeorge Milton didn¡¯t speak, and Ava was thinking about Goden Bran. ¡°Please stop the car at the side of the road,¡± she said as the car sped away. He pretended not to hear. He stepped on the gas and instead of stopping, he elerated.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. His speed scared Ava Lins to the point that her heart pounded. As he wandered up the mountain, he turned his head to look at her and grinned. ¡°Are you willing to die with me?¡± he said. ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Ava said, puzzled. ¡°Stop!¡± she said, shivering, as she realized he wasn¡¯t kidding. ¡± The crimson mole on your left breast is a charmer. ¡°The cliff was in front of us; if you kept driving, we would die.¡± ¡°Do you want to die with me, Ava Lins?¡± He said it yfully, but it seemed serious, and he did hurry towards the edge. Ava screamed in terror as she saw the car approaching. He braked hard, spun the car around, and with a shake of the tail, slid passed the most perilous point. Ava was so terrified that her face grew pale and she violently clinched her teeth and yelled, ¡°You¡­¡± He ced his hand on the back of her head, and she couldn¡¯t help but resist. His hands held her chest, but she couldn¡¯t open it. Shaking her head left and right, she tried to evade. He shoved his aroma into her nose and tongue, a subtle tobo scent¡­ His dark and heavy eyes were filled with emotion, and his lips were red and swollen. His desire, with a yful glow, he stared straight at her, raised her chin, and teased ¡± I like a challenge.¡± She tried to shove him away, but she couldn¡¯t do anything except swear fiercely ¡°Stupid!¡± She shouldn¡¯t have provoked this enigmatic viin! Jeorge Milton gripped her lower jaw and pushed her to gaze at him ¡°Remember not to think about other guys while you¡¯re with me. I can¡¯t promise you won¡¯t get distracted.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t enjoy being distracted.¡± When Ava heard this, she was astonished. Was his erratic behavior simply to warn her? She shook his hand and smirked ¡°Who is she?¡± How did she be his? He leaned on the cushion of the car, causing her to hold her breath as he raised the corner of his lips and put his palm against the ss, squeezing her into a corner.¡± ¡°That day you seduce me.¡± Jeorge Milton said quietly, raising the corner of his lips. His menacing stare went down to her breast, making Ava want to dig out his eyeballs, but she could only scowl at him with a heated face. ¡®You¡¯ If looks could kill, Ava longed to gouge out tens of thousands of holes in his body. What had he done to her? She was crazy in believing nothing had urred, yet she felt perfectly normal. But the minute he spoke those words, her joy dissipated. She shouldn¡¯t have provoked him. She chose what urred that day, but it was him! She¡¯d rather be another guy, therefore it¡¯s not a big deal. Ava blinked her eyes and scowled at him ¡°What are you doing!?¡± ¡°Be mine.¡± He leaned out to caress her lips, then nced up at her tears, notughing nor questioning her, but nonchntly ordering her not to refuse, as if he knew he would devour her. Ava resisted ¡°If I reject,¡± He murmured quietly, calmly touching her cheeks, ¡°Do you think I can arrange it such that even if you have the money, you can¡¯t find a hospital willing to take Tiara Lins?¡± Ava sneered viciously, ¡°You, Jeorge Milton, are vile!¡± Unhappy, he lifted his brows and shoved her side-burns behind his ear, ¡°Isn¡¯t this your brother¡¯s third year in high school?¡± ¡°I heard he caused trouble at the pub yesterday. ¡± Hearing this, Ava¡¯s heart clenched and she scowled fiercely at him, tears in her eyes. He looked at the wetness around her eyes, held out his hand to brush it away, and continued slowly, ¡°Ava Lins, I have always gotten what I desired. You too.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you rush to the bar to avenge Goden Bran¡± ¡°Will you seed if you are not with me?¡± Ava Lins¡¯ eyes became redder as she remembered Goden Bran¡¯s contempt for her, and she questioned, quivering, but fighting back her tears, ¡°Why me?¡± What type of woman did he desire, and why did he have to conspire against her family to acquire her? Jeorge Milton nced at her, but he seemed to be staring through her. But then he masked his feelings and whispered , ¡°I appreciate your style. Is that enough? ¡± Ava Lins¡¯s eyes welled up with tears as she lifted her lips to express her heart¡¯s pain. He¡¯d nearly had her before, but now she couldn¡¯t get away¡­ He¡¯d extend his wolf jaws like a fiend and viciously kill her, then unwittingly provide a helping hand, making her believe he was aiding her¡­ However, she realized that the guy in front of her would not assist her easily since she was too foolish .. He assumed that if she said she wouldn¡¯t meet him, she wouldn¡¯t. How could she have known they were at odds the first time she saw him, Chapter 26 She hastily exited the car and went inside the apartment she had been in before her marriage, not wanting to remain any longer. She didn¡¯t like what happened today, but she had nowhere to go. She stood in the bathroom, letting the hot water wash over her, but the kiss mark he left behind remained¡­ She was upset that she had cheated. Despite the fact that she was not the person he loved, she constantly felt a feeling of loss in her heart. Ava stepped out with her damp hair loose and she answered the phone. Will two divorced men share a bed? In case Ava did not pay her sister¡¯s pharmaceutical bill by the deadline, the hospital phone continued calling. She refused to seek for Goden Bran¡¯s aid. She could only divorce Goden Bran quickly. That was her only chance to get the property. They came to the Civil Affairs Bureau, where they waited outside waiting, recalling the first incident. It was their turn to be called, but none of them moved. Until the staff rushed out and said, ¡°Do you want divorce?¡± Then Ava stood up, walked in first, and handed in her ount book and marriage certificate.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. Goden Bran followed them, and the staff stared at them, gently asking, ¡°Are you sure?¡± Neither said anything. ¡°Have you considered it?¡± The crew said. Goden Bran smirked and nced at Ava, who was biting her lip and nodding. He hoped she could shake her head at that moment. His lips curved up in self-mockery . The divorce document was in her palm, and as she held it, Ava felt a stinging agony in her heart. In two months, she married and made millions. She deserved to be humiliated. After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, she saw his car on the right side, so she turned left and went her own ways¡­ Ava continued onward, holding back her tears, but soon his car came up with her, and he got out, stepped around her, and blocked her way. She gazed at him, waiting for her heart to burst. She overheard him say, ¡°Can you stay a while? I haven¡¯t told Grandmother. ¡± It was for Grandma¡­ He would never have thought ofing to find her or taking the effort to speak to her if not for his grandmother. Ava sighs ¡°She¡¯ll find out soon. It would have been the same. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ll keep this a secret forever? ¡± She wallked past him and fled, but he yelled angrily, ¡°Didn¡¯t you love your grandmother?¡± He said, ¡°Ate stomach cancer! ¡± Her pace slowed. She nced around, puzzled at the term ¡°stomach cancer¡±. When the car stopped in front of the vi, he grabbed her hand. Wait¡­ Goden Bran turned his head to stare at Ava, but was unable to say anything for a long time. Everything seemed to shift at once. He was surprised when she opposed him, as though he was ustomed to her docility and devotion. He returned to work, sighing ¡°The doctor says Grandma has advanced stomach cancer. She instructed the doctor not to tell us she doesn¡¯t want treatment. She doesn¡¯t want us to know. ¡°I ¡°If you truly don¡¯t want to, I won¡¯t push you,¡± he added, lighting his cigarette. He knew they were divorced and he had no right to pressurize her. It would be a benefit if she agreed. He couldn¡¯t do anything to her if she refused. Ava remembered how they had just received their divorce papers, but now they had to appear loving in front of his grandmother. She felt both resentful and silly. But grandmother was very kind to her. She jumped out of the car and went inside the home before he could say anything. When Ava entered the room, she smiled and concealed her anguish. She prepared her grandmother¡¯s favorite foods until after her grandmother had fallen asleep, allowing her to return to her room and prepare to sleep in the guest room. ¡°Whither?¡± ¡°Guest room,¡± she said coldly. ¡°Does Grandma mind if you sleep in her room?¡± ¡°We¡¯re divorced, do you still want to lie in the same bed?¡± Ava said mockingly. ¡°You sleep on the bed, I¡¯ll sleep on the couch,¡± Goden Bran said He then sat on the couch, his back to her, as if annoyed. He had no idea where his rage had originated from. Neither of them should have slept with the other. However, she had rmended it, as though millions of people didn¡¯t want to remain in the same bed as him. Ava tossed and turned in her huge bed that night. Her sorrows were continuously on her mind, and tears streamed down her cheeks¡­ She coughed in the middle of the night, even though she had a cold. He was sleeping when he sprang up and said, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Wake up, drink some water, and take the medication,¡± he said, returning with the hot water from the nightstand. The kindness on his face made her heart ache. Then she would have been overjoyed. But after her heart¡¯s trauma, she couldn¡¯t tell the difference between bliss and death. She sat up, holding a cup of hot water in her hands, and bowed her head, drinking the water quietly, not daring to look at him, scared he would see the tears in her eyes. Her tears fell gently after he left. Next day. Ava handed the money to the hospital But Tianra was displeased, not wanting to see anybody in bed or speak to Ava. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Jeorge Milton been to visit me yet?¡± ¡°Bring Jeorge Milton to meet me, older sister.¡± ¡°Sometimes I simply wanted that I could die at that time since only that way no one couldugh at me for my wired look. I knew all of you felt sorry for me and loathed me.¡± ¡°I know that now that I am like this, Jeorge Milton will no longer care about me. ¡°I love him, and I can¡¯t live without him¡­¡± ¡°Leave me alone, don¡¯t make me suffer, I¡¯m sick of living.¡± Her terrible sobs were like unseen hands gripping Ava Lins¡¯ heart. She tried calling Jeorge Milton¡¯s number many times, but she was cut off each time. ¡°I want to speak to you,¡± she said as she called Jeorge Milton¡¯s phone. She waited in his vi¡¯s living room. The servant handed her a cup of water,. She held the cup firmly, not knowing what would happen next. She came here in response to his plea. He and she knew. She was too inebriated to recall thest time. So how could she face it this time? ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go upstairs?¡± A loud bang startled Ava. Her cup dropped from her hand and smashed with a tter. She turned to see him in his pyjamasing down the stairs. ¡°Sorry,¡± Ava panicked, seeing his profound look. He moved up to her and leaned down to grasp her wrist, stopping her from picking up the shattered ss on the floor. Chapter 27 His loving hands gently gripped her hands as he lifted her up. ¡°Come in.¡± In the dining room, he invited her to join him. Then he gently let go her hand and said, ¡°Come with me for a supper.¡± Ava wasn¡¯t hungry. She couldn¡¯t get anything out of her mouth. She had no idea what he was doing. This guy behaved like a child at times, yet a demon at others. What he was thinking, nning, and doing next was absolutely beyond her conception. ¡°Why are you staring at me like that?¡± Jeorge Milton said, raising his eyebrows and pouring ck coffee into a cup. She lowered her gaze to the table. ¡°You seem to be afraid of me today?¡± he asked, his mouth curled up as he looked straight at her. Why had she never dared to speak to him before? ¡°Isn¡¯t this what you want?¡± Ava said, a sad grin on her face. ¡± Heughed. She hated him! Ava Lins had never looked at him so closely before. His steady look and small grin tormented her. Even when anxious, she couldn¡¯t put it. Heughed at her anxiety and said, ¡°Aunt Marry¡¯s sandwiches are really dull. What do you eat at breakfast? ¡± ¡°Nothing!¡± Ava sighed. He smirked ¡°Why are you so thin? Being overly skinny is unhealthy.¡± He smiled and handed her the milk . Then Ava got it, and she scowled fiercely at him, her cheeks flushed. ¡°I agree to your request, but let me make a promise,¡± Ava said as she wiped the corner of her lips with a tissue. He waited with raised brows. He knew she¡¯d been thinking about these words since she walked in. ¡°So, what?¡± ¡°It¡¯s only on weekends¡­ During this time, I shall not bother you or yourpanions. Don¡¯t mess with my life. Also, I hope you can visit Tianra. ¡± He lighted his cigarette and stared at her. ¡°And¡­¡± Ava began, looking at him ¡°When can I go?¡± Hearing this, he grimaced and gazed at her, as if he wanted to know when she would leave him¡­ His grin twisted ¡°Leaving me?¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t, Is it possible to remain with you forever? ¡± ¡°Surely.¡± He asked, his keen gaze making her nervous. Ava smirked and added, ¡°I can¡¯t and won¡¯t hope. You should know I have no affection for you.¡± After she finished speaking, he put out his cigarette, rose up, and proceeded up the stairs, his back to Ava. ¡°Then three months,¡± Jeorge Milton said, pausing on the stairwell for a while before turning to face her. He should get bored of ying after three months, and he would not spare her! Goden Bran returned early that night. He entered the room and found her standing in the kitchen, as if she hadn¡¯t spotted him. He came over and turned off the heat, frowning when he noticed the pot¡¯s contents were scorched ¡°What¡¯s on your mind?¡± Is this risky? When Ava Lins regained consciousness, she felt betrayed by Goden Bran¡¯s stern gaze. If he knew she was with Jeorge Milton¡­ So what? Then she wondered why they¡¯d divorced. She smiled, bewildered. Goden Bran saw something flicker in her eyes, but it swiftly faded, and he yelled out, ¡°Ava!¡± Ava didn¡¯t respond and took the prepared porridge out of the kitchen and up the stairs. He stormed up the stairs, enraged. Then, seeing her grandmother was already asleep, she went to the closet to get some clothes for a bath. It was impossible to ignore his coughing in the dead of night. She went to the restroom, pretending not to hear him. When she returned, he was coughing. She drew the nket over him, but she opened her eyes and turned over to look at her. Ava suddenly turned around to go, as if she had done something wrong.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. But he reached out and grabbed her wrist. He spoke hoarsely, without arrogance, as if he were a patient ¡°Can you¡­ Get me some medicine? ¡± She turned around and was about to leave when she heard him say, ¡°You hate me?¡± Ava paused and licked her lips. ¡°It¡¯s only natural that you detest me, but Ava, I hope that guy isn¡¯t Jeorge Milton,¡± Goden Bran muttered cruelly in his heart. Was he saying that as long as it was another man, it was fine? When Ava heard this, she cried quietly. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. I¡¯m your ex. Do you mind it? ¡± ¡°Plus¡­¡± ¡°Not a chance.¡± She went to the bed and tucked herself in. Goden Bran tilted his head and stared at her, his heart heavy. Time flew by. Weekend came and went in a sh. When she was making breakfast, Jeorge Milton texted her: Ava didn¡¯t respond, and then came another message: I¡¯m going to pick you up? When the three of them were eating, her phone rang, and she was shaking , sitting there and not replying for a long time. Grandma questioned ¡°Ava Lins, Why didn¡¯t you answer the phone? . Goden Bran looked at her. Ava sucked in her saliva and attempted a grin. ¡°But¡­ It may be the hospital.¡± She got up, grabbed her phone, and proceeded to the balcony. ¡°You helped her share in the matters of Ava¡¯s little sister, I can see that she has lost a lot of weight recently, your own wife doesn¡¯t feel good about it, you should be careful of being kidnapped.¡± Hearing Grandma¡¯s words, Goden Bran realized she had dropped a lot of weight. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling so well today, I¡­¡± Ava Lins lied to Jeorge Milton. ¡°I¡¯lle see you.¡± Did he intend to pay a visit? ¡°No!¡± His tone both friendly and coercive. ¡°If you don¡¯te, I¡¯ll go find you.¡± Ava could only grit her teeth and say, ¡°Got it!¡± He then hung up. She turned around to see Goden Bran behind her. Her stunned reaction was suspicious, as was her guilty reaction. She straightened her back, tried to be cool, and moved by him to the dining table. His car waited for her at the roadside. Ava reluctantly climbed into the car. Chapter 28 Jeorge Milton moved his head to the side, his dark eyes gleaming at her. She reached out to reim her hand, but he gripped it hard, like if she didn¡¯t exist. Your hand is so cold, why don¡¯t you wear it more? ¡± That tone was gentle, as if he really cared. Ava stared at him, puzzled. Since she couldn¡¯t get away, she decided to let him hold her and rest while looking out the window. They didn¡¯t chat much till he arrived at the hotel. Despite her best efforts to shake him off, he took her hand and strode into the hotel, despite her fears. He didn¡¯t nce at her until he was in front of the suite¡¯s door andsaid, ¡°Your hands are drenched. What makes you nervous? ¡± The suite door opened before she could respond. Ava was astonished to find a few men in the room, and Feru opened the door. Jeorge Milton drew her near a group of men ying cards. Seeing that Jeorge Milton had brought a girl, they all smiled and greeted him with a smile. He held her hand tightly, as if he knew what she was thinking ¡°Do you y?¡± Then someone smiled and lifted his head ¡°Today I¡¯m unfortunate. Come on, sister-inw, let¡¯s y.¡± Ava¡¯s skin was scorching. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± His ambiguous gaze made everyone present smile meaningfully. He sat beside her and asionally held her hand to help her y. After a few rounds, she had no idea if she had won a fortune. A tiny grin emerged on her lips as her mood improved. Ava learned she wasn¡¯t a woman at all, but rather a gambler who had never met someone who could y with her like this. After an hour of ying, Jeorge Milton asked her if she was hungry, and Feru took over, pulling her hand and leading her to the next room, taking out his room card and opening the door. Ava¡¯s calm heart stiffened up. This room was quiet, which made her uneasy and agitated. He dropped his coat on the bed and just wore a ck shirt, which made him handsome. She didn¡¯t dare to look at him, so she could only bow her head without saying anything. She finally heard his deep,pelling voice ¡°Are you anxious?¡± How could she be calm? Jeorge Milton pulled her lower jaw to let her gaze at him, seeing her lovely facial features that reminded him of a memory. He bent over and kissed her, and she held her breath, closed her eyes, and shivered. He was about to kiss her soft lips when he paused and peered at her with his half-lowered dark eyes. ¡°Someone¡¯sing to bring us lunchter, open the door,¡± he said, turning around and walking towards the restroom. He then shut the bathroom door. Ava took a long breath, her hands cupping her chest. A server gave her a romantic lunch, but she seemed uninterested. She was lost in front of the windows, staring down on the city. Maybe she was too busy with her thoughts to see her exit. His heated lips bit softly on her earlobe , causing her body to shiver as she returned to her senses. ¡°What¡¯s on your mind?¡± ¡°Ignore other guys and stick with me. Did you forget? ¡± The sensitive girl couldn¡¯t help but tilt her neck in an effort to avoid him pressing his lips on her face and then her thin neck, but the arms around her got tighter and tighter.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. A numbing electric charge sted her whole body, forcing her to nearly fall ck in his grip. She wanted to shove him away, but he spun her around, forcing her against the ss pane, forcing her to shrink back in resistance. Ava¡¯s fingers crushed on his chest, but she couldn¡¯t move it. He kissed harder as she fought. Their kiss was a tussle, she fought, he plunder¡­ He let go of her, reluctantly putting his lips on her cheeks, his hands holding her face, his fingers caressing her swollen lips, and curled the corners of his lips, seeing her nervous expression and saying lightly, ¡°I¡¯m hungry,e and eat with me.¡± He then grabbed her hand and led her to the couch, where he put a dish of western food on the coffee table. Ava Lins nced at him from the side till she realized that he was actually eating. Only then did she think that he was genuinely hungry. He was eating with enjoyment, while she was not eating at all. Not only do they dislike Western cuisine, but they¡¯re also apprehensive and unhappy¡­ ¡°Why not eat?¡± ¡°No appetite,¡± Ava Lins shrugged. ¡°I¡­¡± she asked, realizing it waste.¡± Hearing this, Jeorge Milton dropped the dinnerware, got a tissue and cleaned his lips, then pulled out a cigarette and lit it. She started coughing dejectedly as soon as he lit it. ¡°I can¡¯t stay for the night,¡± Ava had to exin. She had to go back early to see her granny early. He got up and headed to the bed, she believed he¡¯d leave her. He sat back on the bed and closed his eyes, as if to sleep. He closed his eyes. ¡°Come in.¡± Her heart jumped. He hadn¡¯t forgotten what he was going to do. She hoped they wouldn¡¯t have to do it today¡­ She knew she couldn¡¯t deny or postpone, so she did. He drew up the nket and embraced her as shey down. Her heart pounded irregrly when she was near him. She merely stiffened and let herself be held forcefully. There was nothing wrong. ¡°Sleep with me, I¡¯ll send you back.¡± He said it softly, his voice a little tired. With her fingers on his chest, she could hear the steady, strong beat of another man¡¯s heart. The clean, cool aroma of his flesh surrounded her in his arms. Ava clenched her fists, fearing he¡¯d leap on her like a ravenous wolf. She would grow exhausted tensing up like this. She lifted her eyes to stare at his sleeping face. He seemed innocent and harmless, but lethargic. Chapter 29 If Goden Bran had gorgeous and exceptional face characteristics, then Jeorge Milton had sharp and distinguishing facial features. He was yboy. Goden Bran would not be participating in such an event today. He would be wasting time if he spent it ying cards, ording to Goden Bran¡­ That¡¯s how Ava learnt to remain quiet with Goden Bran. When she attempted to speak to him more, he told her to shut up! Ava became quiet every time she stepped up to Goden Bran and met his sneering re. After so long being refused by a guy, she felt lost. She felt herself sinking into the sand. Ava couldn¡¯t deny that Jeorge Milton¡¯s bright eyes helped her restore her lost self-esteem. He was loyal. He drove her out when it becamete. Three or five men approached them as she exited the hotel elevator, and Ava unconsciously resisted. Will the wedding go forward as nned? She dreaded gossip. He didn¡¯t say anything on the trip. Ava Lins mistook his calm for anger. Ava was ready to get out when the car stopped near the vi. ¡°You¡¯re simply going like that?¡± he said, smiling. As he talked, he pointed to his own face, signaling that she had something to say. Ava¡¯s cheeks felt flushed as she watched him beg for a kiss like a lover. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a week,¡± he said thoughtfully. Give me a kiss. ¡±This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. He kissed her thin fingers and grasped her hand. Her fingertips felt wet and hot, like feathers brushing across her heart. She withdrawn her hand, pulled open the car door, and left. Ava Lins knew Jeorge Milton was a love specialist! When she nced at her fingers at night, thinking about how she was in love with him, she felt somewhat heated. Goden Bran saw her . The TV was on when he got out of the shower, but she was looking at her hands. Her bangs were tied back with a thin rubber band, disying her beautiful oval face, slightly flushed, making her appear somewhat charming¡­ ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± He cleared his throat a few times, then strolled over and sat alongside her, drying his damp hair with a huge towel and digging for the remote control. Ava Lins gave him the remote control board after seeing his search. He had grasped her hand and kept it with him. Ava¡¯s heart was pounding harder, but she tried to be expressionless and turned her head away from him. To avoid overthinking things, Ava Lins picked up the newspaper on the table and went looking for a job. She studied design in college, but nor firm hired her. ¡°Unemployed? ¡°Yes.¡± He knew everypany¡¯s bottom line and helped her look around . Ava paused, then gave him the newspaper with a cocked head. ¡°I want a pen.¡± ¡°These two firms may have a go,¡± shes said gently, as she gave him the pen. Oh, this foreignnguage requirement is too high¡­¡± Ava listened intently, biting her lip and puffing her cheeks, her face lovely. When Goden Bran turned his head, he noticed her adorable gaze extending out from the softest portion of his heart. Her skin was so wless that he couldn¡¯t see any pores, forcing his throat to constrict. Trying to approach her. It¡¯s impossible to say whether they¡¯d fall in line with a quick change of heart. His thoughts slipped away from her, unable to focus on the crucial things she needed to know. The same Body Soap, therefore how did she smell? It made him want to get closer, closer¡­ Her lips were smooth and delicate as she licked them, giving them a healthy pink glow. He didn¡¯t say anything since Ava was listening intently, her questioning eyes meeting his. ¡°I¡¯ll search for myself again,¡± she murmured, grabbing the newspaper and hastily ncing aside. I¡¯m tired and heading to bed.¡± Next day. The warm sun shined brilliantly on the curtain, radiating a beautiful glow. Goden Bran sat in front of the desk, his lengthy fingers flicking over the paperwork and contracts. ¡°Boss Goden Bran,¡± Assistant Jasper Beezer moved forward, surprised by his fury. ¡°Where is EAva, the project manager?¡± Goden Bran demanded, his voice rising with rage.¡± ¡°Tell her to visit me!¡±¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same a sCiqi Group¡¯s strategy!¡± EAva¡­ She¡­ quit,¡±Jasper Beezer said quietly. Hearing this, Goden Bran red at the assistant, his eyes icy. The assistant bowed his head and waited for his approval. ¡°You manage the recruiting, it¡¯s time for Design Department to attract new staff,¡± Goden Bran said after a lengthy quiet. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do it immediately,¡± the assistant said, sighing deeply. ¡°Boss Goden Bran, is the wedding between you and Miss Belli Tannu as scheduled?¡± he questioned as he approached the door. Goden Bran scowled and pondered before responding. ¡°Goden Bran?¡± ¡°As nned,¡± he murmured, pinching the middle of his brows. A minuteter, his phone rang. He was preupied and didn¡¯t respond. Ava had been out for a day and had yet to find work. Afternoon he raced back to his grandmother¡¯s. But he heard his grandma giggle as he approached the door. Her granny speaking pleasantly, and smiled. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me?¡± ¡°I simply happened to stop by and wanted to offer you a surprise, I didn¡¯t anticipate you to be not at home, just having Grandma at home,¡± Belli Tannu smiled. Belli Tannu was here for the first time. ¡°Grandma, let Belli Tannu join you for a talk, I¡¯ll cook the feast tonight,¡± she smiled as she entered the kitchen. ¡°Don¡¯t be busy, just ask the servant,¡± Her grandma preferred Ava Lins! As long as Ava Lins was around, she would quietly split her possessions¡­ Before Ava Lins, she was the most amazing, most sessful, and most attractive. She drew the attention of numerous males s¡­ She became her deskmate and was adored by many professors and students that year. People loved her more because she wasn¡¯t as pretty as she was¡­ ¡°Ava Lins, see how much granny loves you,¡± she added, feigning jealousy. Chapter 30 Ava grinned as she heard this. When Goden Bran returned from work, Belli Tannu was there! He grimaced at Belli Tannu and looked Ava. Seeing her peacefully talk with Belli Tannu, he became serious. The food had been served, and he had returned. ¡°Goden Bran, are we not going to lunch together?¡± Belli Tannu said. Goden Bran gazed at Ava, who was upied at the side, and said nothing for a long time. ¡°Don¡¯t wait for me,¡± he murmured, turning around. He finished chatting and went up. Belli Tannu was already uneasy as she watched him ascend the stairs. She was assisting to take the tes to the table when the te dropped and ttered on the ground. ¡°Are you okay? Is it hot?¡± Ava said. She examined Belli Tannu¡¯s hand for scalds. ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Ava shouted. ¡°Not terrible, my clothes were simply soiled; should I go get a change?¡± Belli Tannu smiled. Ava went upstairs to clean up the debris¡­ ¡°Ava Lins,¡± Grandma said, ¡°Go up and get Belli Tannu some clothing, she¡¯s an outsider.¡± ¡°I know you believe in Belli Tannu, but even if they were up there, they couldn¡¯t get near enough to each other to change clothing. ¡°Alright, fine, alright, I¡¯ll go up now,¡± Ava Lins said, her grin slowly fading as she realized she had to stop what she was doing to put her grandma at rest. Water sshing could be heard upstairs in the bathroom. Goden Bran heard the door open and assumed it was Ava. ¡°Ava, help me fetch a pair of pajamas,¡± he screamed from inside. A knock cameter. When he opened it, he was shocked to find Belli Tannu. ¡°Why?¡±C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°So what you said to me was phony, what you said together was just a show, I genuinely believed you guys were nothing, but what about what I saw? Was it Ava Lins who handed you pajamas while I wasn¡¯t around? ¡°You sleep together?¡± Her eyes welled up with tears. Barely as he was going to exin, he heard a phone ring outside his door. Ava had just climbed the stairs when her phone called. Ava pulled through the bedroom door as Goden Bran was going to lock the bathroom door hastily. ¡°Belli Tannu?¡± ¡°Belli Tannu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m alright,¡± Belli Tannu said. She didn¡¯t want Ava to ask any more questions, so she immediately shifted the subject: ¡°Help me find some clothes, anything.¡± Ava stopped asking and headed into the closet to fetch her clothing, when she saw Goden Bran¡¯s clothes were torn up and scowled. Why was his outfit a wreck today? She didn¡¯t know where Goden Bran¡¯s pajamas were, so she rummaged about in the closet, adding to her annoyance. How could Belli Tannu disbelieve her? ¡°Let¡¯s go to the closet to change,¡± she grinned after packing things. ¡°Ava, have you ever considered about finding another man?¡± Belli Tannu said, not in a rush to change¡± ¡°Why are you now asking?¡± Ava joked. ¡°You can¡¯t possibly stop seeking for me for the rest of your life, right? I don¡¯t want you to be alone forever. ¡± Goden Bran¡¯s love would never stop as long as Ava Lins remained alone. Even if they divorced, she was anxious about staying beneath the eaves for her grandma. ¡°It¡¯s alright ,¡± Ava sighed. Are you with me? ¡± ¡°I¡¯m not with you. ¡°I¡¯m engaged.¡± ¡°You¡¯re married?¡±¡± Ava Lins was stunned; her closest friend was getting married and she hadn¡¯t spoken a thing to her. Belli Tannu chuckled and nodded, but a session of urgent taps on the door halted her. When Goden Bran exited the restroom and opened the door, the servant murmured hurriedly, ¡°Mr. ¡°Goden Bran, Mrs. says she¡¯s not feeling well; you two should go down and see.¡± As his heart sank, he rushed downstairs, Ava followed after. Grandma was indeedying on the couch, her face pallid and her lips twitching. ¡°Grandmother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Ava said, terrified. ¡°A little uneasy.¡± Ava clutched her grandmother¡¯s hand and felt it chilly sweating; Goden Bran, who was nearby, got out his phone and dialed 911. The ambnce roared and rushed through the streets. After her grandmother was taken, Ava felt her grandma¡¯s hand go disturbingly cold. Waiting was frequently difficult. Seconds went by. Suddenly, her hand was clenched. When Ava turned her head to look at him, she noticed him gently bending his head and fiercely pursing his lips, which made her heart hurt for him. She didn¡¯t let go of his hand this time. Belli Tannu ran over, not expecting to see such a spectacle. What did you give Grandma? Her heart ached. But she could only gaze, clenching her hands and letting that hard fingernail dig into her palm. The door slowly opened. ¡°Doctor, how did Grandmother suddenly be so serious?¡± Ava said, shaking off the doctor¡¯s fingers. ¡°You still have the guts to ask?¡± the doctor sneered. How can you ignore an elderly man? ¡± ¡°How can you give her cancer medications at random?¡± ¡°You mean Grandma took the incorrect medicine?¡± Ava asked. ¡°I clearly separated theponents¡­¡± What does she give? She paid close heed to her grandmother¡¯s medication. ¡°Do better next time.¡±He finished his speech and walked away. Ava gazed at Goden Bran, his eyes full of distrust. ¡°You gave Grandma?¡± He spoke harshly, as though confident she had given his grandma something she shouldn¡¯t have. Goden Bran was enraged since his grandma was his most significant family member. He couldn¡¯t be courteous to her when he realized it was her fault his grandmother almost died. ¡°I put Grandma¡¯s medication away, so how can Ibine it?¡± Ava said, her voice shaking. ¡°Why is Grandma inside?¡± . Grandma is a patient! She can¡¯t stand even the tiniest amount of carelessness! He had seen her preupied and absent-minded countless times, and she had no clue where her soul had gone while the pot was burning! She¡¯d been out of her headtely! His grandma wouldn¡¯t have gotten the incorrect prescription if she hadn¡¯t thrown the tablets together carelessly! He had not expected her to be so irresponsible! The enraged roar med. Even if there were hundreds ofints, Ava could not speak. He would never strive to believe her, to trust her right away. Too many aches and frustrations flooded her heart, and she feared crying like a kid if she remained any longer. Ava Lins left. Chapter 31 She moved hurriedly, head down. No one knew she was already crying¡­ Only Jeorge Milton saw that rushed back . He had sent Feru over, and when he heard the fast footsteps, he believed it was Feru. When he looked up, Ava Lins had already left. Seeing her walk away, he extinguished his cigarette and was going to pursue her when Feru appeared next him. ¡°Remember to drive back, I still have stuff to do, so I won¡¯t be over tonight!¡± said Jeorge Milton. He stopped speaking and rushed towards Ava¡¯s back, without waiting for Feru to reply. ¡°Hey!¡± brother! ¡± ¡°So you¡¯re serious about this?¡±Feru said, his eyes locked on Jeorge Milton¡¯s back.¡± Jeorge Milton smiled and shook his head before driving away. Jeorge Milton caught up to her in a few strides, reaching out to seize her wrist. Her delicate wrist held her, and all he saw was her tearful face. When Ava realized it was him, she reached out to wipe away her tears. ¡°Why are you crying?¡± ¡°None of your business.¡± ¡°Leave.¡± ¡°Due to your sister?¡±¡±¡­ He assumed her mncholy stemmed from the fact that she had fled the hospital. Ava didn¡¯t want to exin. ¡°Jeorge Milton, don¡¯t you care too much? Let go of me!¡± she said angrily. She pushed him away and went to the roadside before hopping into a cab. But Jeorge Milton was quicker; he had already forcefully held the car door, preventing her from closing it. The driver turned around and stared at them puzzled. ¡°Jeorge Milton, please keep away from me!¡± yelled Ava. He opened the door, mmed it shut, as if he hadn¡¯t heard. He grabbed her wrist as she was ready to get out of the car. His dark eyes red viciously at her, and she red back. ¡°I want out!¡± ¡°Drive!¡± They nearly spoke at the same moment. This made driving much more difficult. After many years as a cab driver, he had never witnessed a young couple causing a scene. ¡°You should simply go home and dispute,¡± he moaned. Jeorge Milton arched his brows, a thin grin in his dark eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her¡± he told the driver. Ava couldn¡¯t do anything since the car was ready to start, and he had his arms too tight over her, preventing her from getting out. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± she screamed, unable to speak.¡± She sat close to the door, her eyes still moist. He wished he could reach out and wipe away her tears¡­ But all he could do was watch. ¡°Your sister¡¯s affairs, will arrange for a decent prosthetic limb to be utilized for a length of time after rehabilitation so that she may walk properly,¡± Jeorge Milton said tenderly. He hoped she¡¯d be pleased at least.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°Do you think I should thank you?¡± she said, her eyes welling up with tears again. ¡°A person like you would never understand other people¡¯s bitterness and if it urred in you, you would never realize how awful it was,¡± Ava said coldly, looking out the window. ¡°Why would I want to see you now?¡± Only you, only your encouragement can make her feel less desperate¡­¡± Ava resented Jeorge Milton¡¯s presence at times. Tianra adored him¡­ But what could she do as Tianra¡¯s sister? Jeorge Milton¡¯s ebony eyes glistened with helplessness as he heard her reproach and anger. His sword-like brows furrowed hard as he tilted his head to stare at her¡­ He drew his gaze back and stretched his hand to grab hers. His lengthy fingers slipped between her fingers and firmly sped them. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t¡­ ¡°Since your sister needs me so much, please remain by my side.¡± A man who solely cared about his possessions. He never considered how others might suffer¡­ ¡°I overestimated you, so I assumed you were still human,¡± Ava mocked angrily. ¡°Very excellent, you seem to beprehending me,¡± Jeorge Milton said, his face darkening. Hearing this made Ava angry. He wanted to remove her hand, but he couldn¡¯t. However, a single pull from him knocked her down, and she felt the terrible aura emanating from his body. He went close to her ear and said, ¡°You hate me?¡± He gazed at the wrath in her eyes, and the corner of his lips twisted up beautifully. ¡°I simply want to keep you by my side.¡± He would detest her if he couldn¡¯t love her. Hate her to the core . At the very least, he had a ce¡­ His deep voice was quiet, making his emotions difficult to discern. But Ava sensed its deterrence. ¡°You were odd!¡± As she spoke, she tightened her teeth. But he chuckled warmly and let off slightly, enabling her to sit correctly. But his grasp on her hand didn¡¯t budge. No one spoke until the car halted in front of his house. ¡°Jeorge Milton, it¡¯s not a weekend,¡± she said as she approached the door. He began. He realized she was reminding him that it was not the weekend. Was he not entitled to visit her? His chest tightened and his face clouded. ¡°Don¡¯t remind me!¡± ¡°Please let me go.¡± Jeorge Milton gave her a sidelong nce and remained silent. Was she reminding him to keep his word? When had he ever seen ady so excited about the weekend? But she recalled she had to leave him often. A day before, was it torture to see him? He had even missed tonight¡¯s family dinner to be with her, but she kept finding excuses to leave him. ¡°Do you honestly think I want to see you that much?¡± shouted Jeorge Milton, who had never been treated so badly. ¡°Ava Lins, are you too serious?¡± ¡°I never imagined you¡¯d just want to see me,¡± Ava said sadly. He scoffed,ughing at himself for being funny. ¡°Don¡¯t remind me of our rtionship!¡± He turned away. ¡°Leave now if you wish!¡± He was enraged, but she obeyed and fled. Jeorge Milton felt insane looking at her, and he longed to be with her! It was dark. Goden Bran stared out the window into the night sky, where a chilly breeze blew. Guilt grew in his heart as he remembered her fleeing away, fighting back her tears. Maybe she simply didn¡¯t mean it. His grandmother¡¯s filial piety was not an act. Seeing his grandma nearly die must have hurt her heart more than he did. Chapter 32 Goden Bran pulled out his phone and dialed Ava. ¡°The number you phoned was off¡­¡± said a frigid voice on the other end. ¡°Has Ava Lins returned?¡± he questioned again at home. Goden Bran untied his knot. He was scared as well as guilty. Why didn¡¯t she return? What happened? He exited the ward and opened the door to see Belli Tannu seated outside. Belli Tannu¡¯s eyes became redder and her face was still wet when she saw him. She stood up and embraced him silently. ¡°Is Grandma okay?¡±C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡± ¡°I was terrified, but you were busy, so I had to wait.¡± Goden, I was worried about my grandmother. She was still talking with me in the afternoon, what happened? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s OK,¡± he said, soothingly patting her back. ¡°I¡¯ll ask the driver to take you home, and don¡¯t let your mind run wild,¡± he said. ¡°And you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll guard here,¡± he said, hoping he could find Ava Lins right now. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t have to. Rest, or my heart would hurt.¡± Belli Tannu¡¯s heart melted as she heard this and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll phone you when I get home.¡± When Belli Tannu left, Goden Bran proceeded towards the parking lot, holding his phone and dialing Ava¡¯s number. Goden Bran went to the car, and drove away. She hadn¡¯t even returned to her old t; where could she go? Could it be that he was with Jeorge Milton? Doubts develop like moss in the spring. He searched for her for a long time without sess, and when grandma became sick, he had to return to the hospital. As he approached the ward¡¯s entrance, he heard a familiar voice. He could see Ava through the door¡¯s gap. ¡°Grandmother, you truly frightened me to death today,¡± she muttered angrily as she sat by her grandmother¡¯s bedside. Luckily, you¡¯re OK.¡± Grandma was still sleeping on the bed. ¡°Grandma, sometimes I truly feel exhausted,¡± Ava said chokedly, holding Grandma¡¯s hand. Why do you believe humans must live? Something constantly weighs me down, making it difficult to breathe. I¡¯m not sure how to get out of this one. ¡± ¡°I used to believe I¡¯d be happy as long as I married the Goden. But it¡¯s exhausting to love someone so much I can¡¯t stand him.¡± Goden Bran¡¯s hands froze in the air after hearing those words, and he hopelessly drooped down. He felt dragged. He didn¡¯t go in, but sat alone outside, smoking in solitude. ¡°Mr. Why didn¡¯t you go in? ¡± Ava, confused by the voice outside, went out . The four of them nced at each other, r. Ava softly closed the door and left. ¡°I was sorry for what I said today and myments were a touch excessive,¡± hesaid after a long sigh. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he replied eventually, after a lengthy quiet. Ava was surprised at the shame and apologies in his gaze. she nearly sobbed when he said ¡®I¡¯m sorry¡¯. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first,¡± she said, lowering her head . I¡¯ll return tomorrow with Grandma.¡± Ava had been taking excellent care of her grandmother for a few days and had avoided Goden Bran to avoid thinking about it. Maybe her heart was still a little sour. She was stingy even though he had apologized, since she remembered his violent reprimand that day. Not all regrets are forgiven. Ava Lins had no idea she was so petty, but she was bored for a few days. She wouldn¡¯te or stay with him because he was sick. Even at home, she regarded him as if he was nothing, his face nk¡­ He awoke early to assist his grandmother cook the porridge for the hospital. He stepped down the steps and noticed her standing in front of the counter, dressed appropriately for the interview, despite the modest ck and white clothing. A magnificent emotion flooded his heart at that moment¡­ Since she didn¡¯t even lift her head to look at him, he coughed a few times to get her attention. Surprisingly, she didn¡¯t care. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± He coughed. She poured the porridge in the thermal container. ¡°Is it porridge?¡± he questioned, his heart heavy with sorrow. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Any other?¡± Ava dropped her eyes and said, ¡°No.¡± So she packed her bags and prepared to depart. Goden Bran suddenly felt entirely neglected. In the past, she would have asked him what he wanted to eat with a grin. ¡°Ava,¡± he said, stepping forward to hold her hand. ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t do this to me.¡±¡± ¡°Then what do I want?¡± Ava said coldly.¡± ¡°If it was in the past, you wouldn¡¯t be so cold to me, and you wouldn¡¯t care what I said to you thesest few days,¡± I have apologized for what urredst time, are you still enraged? ¡± She wasn¡¯t a saint, so why did she have to totally forgive him every time? ¡°You also said it was previous,¡± she responded coldly, her tongue refusing to ept it. In the past you were my spouse, but now you are my ex. Is it crucial how I treat you? ¡± ¡°I still have to grab something for Grandmother, don¡¯t waste my time,¡± Ava said, knowing he was dumbfounded. ¡°Wait, I¡¯m going too.¡± He added, meaning to question her about work. ¡°Then give it to granny,¡± Ava said, handing him the bag. I have work to do therefore I won¡¯t go.¡± She then fled in a hurry, as though she feared being caught up. ¡°Ava Lins!¡± He yelled, but she didn¡¯t respond. Looking behind him, he felt he had failed. People frequently said that the greatest way to forget about love was to remain away from them. Ava sat on the bus, looking over the city, wondering if she should be furious or vengeful, or whether she should just avoid Goden Bran. She was astonished to meet Jeorge Milton at the interview firm. He had just got out of the elevator and was chatting to people as he went. She couldn¡¯t escape it. She could only walk ahead with her head down. Ava hoped he didn¡¯t see her. How did she know that as Jeorge Milton approached the spinning door, he twisted his head to look behind her, but his dark eyes were also smiling. Chapter 33 She bowed her head and pretended not to recognize him, making him feel as if a thorn had grown in his heart. Why did she hate him so much? The guy next him smiled and questioned, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± when he saw Jeorge Milton¡¯s concerned expression. Is there anything going on today? ¡± Jeorge turned around to stare at Ava,. Jeorge Milton sat in his car, smoking a cigarette, his ink-ck eyes fixed on the building¡¯s door. Until the person he was expecting arrived. He was envious of the guy who could simply made her to grin happily as she walked away with the others! Why did she just have chilly eyes and derision for him yet she could smile warmly at others? He took a long breath as he thought. Maybe he was breathing too forcefully, forcing him to cough violently, hurting his heart and lungs. He put his hand on the door handle and was ready to open it¡­ She merely shifted her body slightly, bowed in agony, and touched her ankle. ¡°Dumbass!¡± He muttered softly, his tone tinged with hopelessness. He took out his phone and looked at the screen after watching her disappear. It was Saturday. She wouldn¡¯t have wanted to hear or see him if he hadn¡¯t contacted her. When had he ever expected to be treated like this? Maybe he was spoilt by women and no one would ever admit it. No one has ever previously overlooked his presence. Not just him was squinting at his phone. Ava waited in the cab, clutching her phone, unsure whether to contact him. She was supposed to go visit him. But there were millions of things she didn¡¯t want . If she called him now, wouldn¡¯t she be entering the tiger¡¯s den? He merely needed a phone call! But he couldn¡¯t wait. The people around him were having fun, but Jeorge Milton was looking at his phone. He fiddled with his phone, scrolling through the records therein, none of which were hers. ¡°Is this phone really so pretty?¡±Feru joked, grabbing his phone. You¡¯ve looked at it all day. ¡± ¡°Give it to me!¡± said Jeorge Milton. Feru sighed and returned the phone. That¡¯s when the phone went off. He was pleased and grabbed his phone, which disyed the number of his father. His excitement changed to disappointment, then boredom, and he abruptly ended the conversation. He imed he would nevere home! Unless she can leave the home! ¡°Young Master, why are you so quiet today, it doesn¡¯t seem like your manner of doing things.¡± Feru wanted to intervene, but the woman put her palm on Jeorge Milton¡¯s breast. ¡°Scram!¡± yelled Jeorge Milton, grabbing the woman¡¯s wrist.¡± Feru had brought the woman out for amusement, so he quickly pulled the woman up and encouraged her not to antagonize Jeorge Milton. It was almost forbidden to discuss the Milton family to Jeorge Milton! Feru understood this since he had known Jeorge Milton for so long. Jeorge Milton drank from the cup dejectedly, his ck eyes aze with unquenchable rage. His hatred had grown in his heart for a long time and had no cure. Even a thousand deaths of that woman would not quench his rage. That¡¯s why he wanted her to live, to experience agony, then torment her¡­ Ava Lins guaranteed that he would not be knocking on her door again . Tonight, Goden Bran did not return, and the vi was unusually silent, frightening everybody. Ava Lins sat on the bed, dazed, when her phone vibrated. ¡°Hello,¡± she said, reaching for her phone, closing her eyes. ¡°Hello?¡± She had to open her eyes and check her phone. She paused and waited for him to speak. ¡°It¡¯s not midnight yet,¡± Jeorge Milton said finally, after a lengthy quiet. ¡°I¡¯ll see you.¡± Ava scowled. What time did he say he¡¯d meet? He sounded inebriated. ¡°Did you?¡± ¡°Take a sleep. Alreadyte.¡± ¡°And if I must see you?¡± ¡°Are you tyrannical? Is it toote? ¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t¡­ I can only knock. ¡± Ava Lins¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she raised her nket and moved to the window, staring down. His car was really there. He sat on the hood of the car, his legs crossed, wearing a nice ck shirt with open cor. When Ava nced at him, he lifted his eyes and startled her, so she ran and hid behind the curtain. ¡± I just want to see you,¡± he replied quietly, seemingly having read her mind . A deep and captivating voice slowly rang out, generating a strange sensation in Ava¡¯s heart. The cool breeze rushing against her cor made Ava Lins more alert. She stepped in front of him, hoping Goden Bran would return with something to say. His ck eyes were as dark as the night sky, and the curve of his lips was unruly. He bent down slightly and wrapped his arm tightly around her waist, resting his chin on her thin shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s so chilly, let me hold you,¡± he said softly, shocked Ava. While he was speaking, he gripped her firmly around her wrist, making her dizzy and forgetting to push him away.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°It felt nice hugging you, Ava!¡± He talked as if he was an intimate lover who had never had a disagreement. ¡°It¡¯s Ava, not Ava!¡± ¡°This is called romance, Ava is so wonderful, only I can call you that, unique to the rest of the world,¡± Jeorge Milton yelled. His voice was proud and dominant, as if she were also his, and the heat and love words she inhaled made Ava blush. He narrowed his eyes and kissed her delicate earlobes. ¡°You smell so nice¡­¡± he muttered hoarsely, as she trembled and dodged. She sat helpless, unable to express her rage. She sneered at him, her face hot. His inadvertent flirting would confuse her. ¡°You may not call me Ava. So he wasn¡¯t ufortable since he had something to think about? In between, he grasped her hand and kept it near to his lips. Chapter 34 Her fingertips felt hot and damp, forcing her cheeks to flush. Ava knew Goden Bran couldn¡¯t, or wouldn¡¯t, tell her when he¡¯d return. She secretly wished Goden Bran knew nothing. ¡°It¡¯ste. ¡°Go back earlier.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a few minutes,¡± he said, squeezing her hand. Ava¡¯s heart skipped a beat hearing this. Was he drunk? Ava¡¯s heart was truly a little bitter. ¡°Let¡¯s go back early.¡± ¡°Then promise me.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Work forCiqi Group.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Ava asked, puzzled. ¡°Return to work. The other jobs don¡¯t fit you.¡± Ava was perplexed. ¡°Stupid!¡± he squeezed her face, helpless.¡± ¡°Stop squeezing me!¡± ¡°Just return. ¡± ¡°Do you want to bribe the boss in front of you?¡± Ava smiled at his casual tone. With her grin, she felt more calm and he seemed less disgusted. He urged her to leave first, and Ava honestly didn¡¯t know how to move with such a scorching re. She returned home, scared to go to the window, so she switched out the light. Jeorge Milton returned to his car and drove away. A gust of frigid air swept into the car, and he remembered how he had just held her. His heart was empty and he realized she was different from others and wouldn¡¯t search for him. Finally, he came to visit her. Jeorge Milton sighed, wishing to dominate her. Or did he constantly think of the guy in his heart when he gazed at her? What else? He wasn¡¯t sure either. Late at night. Belli Tannu¡¯s chamber was dimly lit¡­ She sat up, resting on the bed, as Goden Bran entered with hot water. ¡°Goden,¡± she whispered softly when he sat on the bed. Can you rub it? ¡± Belli Tannu called Goden Bran just as he was about to leave work, saying she was ill and asked him toe over and check it out. While he expressed his concern for her, he was secretly considering returning to inform Ava about his job. EAva¡¯s post was constantly vacant, thus having Ava work for him may be seen as rpense. ¡°are you feeling unwell?¡± he calmly asked Belli Tannu ¡°Here, help me massage,¡± Belli Tannu said, pulling his hand. Goden Bran helped her rub it, then she sat up and leaned on him. A slight scent flowed across, and seeing her in a cold and alluring nightgown, he felt an odd response. ¡°Goden, it¡¯s been a long time since west met,¡± Belli Tannu whispered softly as she caressed his chest, unbuttoning his shirt one by one. He¡¯d been desperate to date her since his divorce and his grandmother¡¯s sickness¡­ She had to lead. Her initiative made Goden Bran squint, as if something was off. When the mood strikes, women may take the lead¡­ Every time SShe took over, he lost interest. ¡°Stop ying around,¡± Goden Bran said, holding onto the hand that was about to shatter. ¡°Aren¡¯t you feeling ufortable?¡± he said, standing up and picking up a suit jacket from the side. Rest early, I still have to visit Grandma. ¡± He then turned to go. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to go,¡± Belli Tannu eximed, rushing up to stop him. ¡°You said you would acquire the marriage certificate, Goden Bran, what are you waiting for?¡± She was upset as she talked, tears in her eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be alone,¡± she hurled herself at him. ¡°Gode.¡± ¡°Belli Tannu, Grandma is still in the hospital, I have to go have a look,.¡± As he said, he let go of her hand and walked out. Belli Tannu waited at the window, watching his car go¡­ how can you break my heart¡­ When Grandma asked where her medication was, she was told it was provided by Ava. When Belli Tannu was hunting for the pill, she found some drugs intended to treat inmmation. She had an evil thinking as she slipped two of the white pills into her grandmother¡¯s tablets, which were also all white. She had been allergic to these medication¡­ This was a rare allergic response. It¡¯s good if nothing¡¯s wrong, but if there is, she¡¯ll fix it. Since Grandma is already nearing death, why should she survive another day to allow Ava Lins to be at home? How could she let go of such a profound love¡­ She was anxious and wished for a quick finish to this day. The elderlydy¡¯s life was too lengthy. Goden Bran arrived homete at night.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. He strolled into the dark bedroom and switched on the light. He proceeded to get the stuff left on the bedside table, but she was drenched in perspiration and her brows wrinkled like she was experiencing a nightmare. ¡°Goden¡± ¡°Goden¡± ¡°No.¡± Unaware of her dream, she yelled his name and urged him not to go. He nced at her and was amazed that he still carried some weight in her heart¡­ He sat on the bed¡¯s edge, holding her delicate hand. Her separation made him doubt her love for him. When I divorced my wife, she was extremely calm. He recalled her grin as she gave him the divorce papers. Then he worried how he would have felt if she had called again. So strong was her love for him that he was scared of getting too near and losing his control¡­ So Goden Bran let go of her hand. He¡¯d had no option. Late at night. On the same night, Even though it waste, just the senior high school ssroom lights were on. But only Omi Lins remained. He didn¡¯t want to ask his sister for money, so he took over those school assignments and estimated how much he needed to produce a book¡­ Finally, he gathered his belongings and stretched before packing up and leaving. As he exited the ssroom, he saw a youngdy in a school uniform, with a bag and something in her hands, who smiled brightly as she spotted him¡­ Chapter 35 Omi Lins¡¯ face darkened as he took a step forward, as if he didn¡¯t notice her. ¡°Omi Lins, I have something for you,¡± she said as she raced up to him. ¡°This is what I saved for a whole year, so you don¡¯t have to assist other people with their assignments,¡± she replied, handing him her own deposit jar. You may rx early.¡± Omi Lins clutched the hefty deposit jar in her hands, thinking about her sister Belli Tannu, who had let her down. He violently flung the piggy bank on the ground, shattering it. ¡°Omi Lins¡­¡± she sobbed, retreating a few steps, eyes wide open, innocently looking at him. ¡°Avoid me in the future!¡± ¡°Sister is sister, I am myself, why should we mix up like this, Omi Lins! Lins! ¡± ¡°Omi Lins, how can you toss my heart on the ground?¡± she said, visibly upset. Suddenly, an adult¡¯s feet appeared in front of her¡­ When the girl nced up, she saw an awful, deformed face. Omi Lins was ready to climb over the wall when he heard a cry of astonishment¡­ Ah¡­ The night sky slid by with a cry, disturbing the night¡¯s calm. Omi Lins felt a pang of fear when a horrible dream invaded his mind. The thought of her scream made him turn and run back. He nced around, but she wasn¡¯t there. The change and porcin bits were all over the floor¡­ And her white canvas sneakers. Omi Lins stepped forward, picking up his left canvas shoe. She¡¯s gone. Is there a risk? Omi Lins was in a rush, his chest heaving fiercely, and the heated air he exhaled condensed into white smoke. After a lengthy search, he nced down at his canvas shoes and grimaced. He had no idea that in the campus¡¯s shadows, Aya¡¯s lips was securely covered by a pair of enormous hands, and that she could only watch Omi Lins walk away, step by step¡­ Omi Lins, her name, became her wailing at the end. Aya¡¯s little hand grabbed fast onto the man¡¯s hand, her fingernails fully dug within¡­ But how could a sixteen-year-old girl resist a drunken man? That was a sleepless night for Omi Lins. He put his head on his pillow and nced at her canvas shoes, thinking with a sad heart that she should be alright¡­ It¡¯ll be fine. Why was he so tense? Tonight was too lengthy for him, but wasn¡¯t it for Aya? Her dream, her unrequited love, her first love¡­ Her revered teacher. The sun shined the following day. When Goden Bran went downstairs, he couldn¡¯t help but look around. He found her in the storage room, on a high stool, looking for something. She wore a suit tha made her seem good. Her legs were slim and fair¡­ He had no idea her legs were so lovely. The lines were well-proportioned, creating a lovely appearance. ¡°What are you searching for?¡± he said,. Ava stepped back, but lost her bnce and falling back. Screamed, ¡°Ah¡­¡± Fortunately, Goden Bran¡¯s response was quick enough: he seized her waist, pulled her off the chair, and held her horizontally. Ava¡¯s chair rocked and thudded to the ground. Ava¡¯s hand unconsciously clutched his shirt, like a lifesaver. What urred next made her even more humiliated as Goden Bran held her horizontally. He seldom hugged her like way¡­ She recalled asking once, wanting to know how it felt to be embraced like this, but he dismissed her request as a foolish joke! She never addressed it after that. Sadly, their connection was very different¡­ ¡°Please let me down,¡± she begged, letting go of Goden¡¯s hand ufortably. Holding it like way, he felt he couldn¡¯t let go. Her heated face was like a feather softly touching the tip of his heart¡­ When he realized, he could only release , and she behaved like a terrified rabbit, and let her withdraw a few steps away from him. ¡°What are you searching for?¡± he said, clenching his fist and coughing a few times. ¡°Nothing much not a very significant item,¡± Ava said, looking for a box she had brought with her previously. She finished and couldn¡¯t wait any longer. ¡°Ava Lins!¡± ¡°Is anything wrong? ¡°Did you find work? She was amazed that he worried about something as trivial as obtaining work. ¡°Yes,¡± she said honestly,. ¡°Really?¡± Goden Bran said, a forced grin tugging at the corner of his lips. You cane to his firm if you haven¡¯t discovered it. She didn¡¯t need his aid, she could get a respectable career on her own, and she could live well without him¡­ Realizing this made him sad. He wished she didn¡¯t depend on him so much. ¡°Oh sure, I¡¯ll move out tomorrow,¡± he said as Ava was ready to depart. Grandma wants to return to her old home. Since Grandma is returning, living together is inconvenient.¡± Ava left, seeing noints. Goden Bran couldn¡¯t focus on his job since he knew she had to leave tomorrow. Wasn¡¯t this his goal? Was he nervous when she was resolved to leave? With the kitchen, he spotted her in an apron, busy working in the kitchen¡­ The soft light on her body made people feelfortable and at ease.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. How long had he felt that way? Due to his mother¡¯s inability tomunicate with her grandma, he was forced to remain in the city to study and live with his mother after his father¡¯s death. He regrly came home hungry from school. It always made him angry at the people who had ruined his Goden Bran Family. Only the coldness of his family brought back his rage towards the one who ruined his family¡­ She had done a lot since they married, but he had forgotten what it was like to have a family and was used to the coldness¡­ He¡¯d always disliked her and didn¡¯t want to be around her. He feared that herpassion and beauty would make him want to give up all he had and not be weary of life as long as he was with her. Goden Bran couldn¡¯t. When his father died, he was full of bitterness and reluctant to disclose it, but he didn¡¯t have the opportunity. Chapter 36 ¡°Grandmother is back, I¡¯ve made several meals,¡± Ava replied, turning around to find him standing there. Come dine with me.¡± Grandma came home from the hospital and stayed with them for the night. Ava recognized her grandma¡¯s mentality and could only follow her and try her best to treat her well while she still had time to appreciate. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go in and assist Ava? ¡°She probably doesn¡¯t want me to go in,¡± Goden Bran thought bitterly. His words meant she didn¡¯t want to be alone with him, but her grandmother had heard Ava refused to allow him in to assist. ¡°Won¡¯t you go in if she says she doesn¡¯t? Gran grinned, reprimanded him, and pushed him in. He couldn¡¯t do anything except remain in the kitchen, so he coughed quietly to get her attention. He stepped in front of her and she¡¯ll ignore him. He¡¯d never been so neglected or felt so uneasy inside. ¡®Ava¡¯ ¡°Can I assist? ¡°Can you not behave like this?¡± he questioned again, bing agitated when she didn¡¯t respond. Her apathy made him ill at ease.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°You are merely pretending in front of Grandma, there is no need to assist me with anything, just take the dishes out,¡± Ava Linssaid tly. Would he have volunteered to help if grandma hadn¡¯t pushed him? Impossible! Ava thought it was a little excessive. Goden Bran¡¯s mood worsened as he stared at her icy face, but he couldn¡¯t speak. When she sat opposite him at dinner, she didn¡¯t even nce at him, but smiled at his grandmother, ¡°Everything I prepare today is your favorite,¡± Goden Bran said. Try the braised pork chops and tell me whether my cooking abilities have improved. As she talked, she put a pork chop in Grandma¡¯s dish. Grandma smiled cheerfully, but her sickly white skin made Ava¡¯s heart ache. Then she bowed her head and pretended to eat. Grandma could see what she was thinking. ¡°The vor is much better than before, why don¡¯t you offer him a piece?¡± Then she dropped her eyes and didn¡¯t look at him, like his granny had suggested. ¡°Grandmother is old, I can¡¯t wait for your child¡¯s birth, and I can¡¯t watch you two happily together,¡± Grandma murmured sorrowfully, pulling Ava¡¯s hand and then Goden Bran¡¯s hand. ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t talk nonsense,¡± Ava said, her eyes moist with tears. So you can¡¯t see? ¡± Ava¡¯s heart ached thinking about her grandma¡¯s condition and her refusal to be treated. Even after she had divorced Goden Bran, she remained rted. To watch her grandmother go¡­ Finally, Ava Lins¡¯ dazzling and transparent tears dropped across her lovely face. ¡°Sweetheart, what are you sobbing for?¡± Grandma gently wiped away her tears. ¡°Grandma is elderly and will die.¡± This is life¡¯s rule. Take death lightly. I don¡¯t want to make you sad.¡± ¡°I simply want you two love each other. So you¡¯ll be pleased even if granny dies. Can you grant grandma¡¯s selfish wish? ¡± Grandma shook Ava¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Go on, Grandmother. ¡°Anything I promise.¡± ¡°In the future, no matter what he has done, you must give him another opportunity to be by his side,¡± the grandmother said, sighing. ¡°Grandmother has only one granddaughter-inw like you. Even Goden will never find a wife as good as you. Thank you for forgiving him for Grandmother¡¯s sake.¡± ¡°Goden was bitter in heart. He doesn¡¯t let me say some things, so please be understanding.¡± Ava was speechless when she heard her grandmother¡¯s words. Didn¡¯t they split up? Even if she forgave him, he¡­ She could forgive him for turning the world upside down on other women, but she didn¡¯t have a saint¡¯s heart. ¡°Are you not willing? ¡°Grandmother, don¡¯t speak anymore,¡± Goden Bran replied, his voice low. ¡°Try these foods, they¡¯re chilly.¡± After a few minutes of quiet, Ava could only nod and reply, ¡°Alright, Grandma, I promise.¡± I¡¯ll give him a chance despite his mistakes.¡± ¡°Grandma knows you¡¯ll agree,¡± she said, stroking Ava¡¯s hand on the back. Goden Bran looked at her in the eyes, puzzled. Would she forgive him if that day came? ¡°Will you forgive me, Ava Lins?¡± The night wind was chilly. A cold wind blew through the room¡¯s curtains as Ava packed her things. It also gave the room a coolness, as if the room knew its owner was about to leave for good¡­ He sat on the couch, lit up a cigarette, and smoked with a sad heart as he watched her grab what was hers and move about in front of him. Until she lost everything she owned¡­ Only the gifts he bought her remained. Precious dresses, nes, and jewelry. But that year, while he was passing through Paris, he purchased her a cartoon doll and she took it with her. Goden Bran sucked in a cigarette and put it out in the ashtray. ¡°Are you really going tomorrow?¡± he questioned, seeing her finish packing. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going on a business trip tomorrow and won¡¯t be returning.¡± You can stay a few more days, no rush.¡± It was toote now, and she was still packing, as if she intended to wait till morning to pick up her bags and leave him alone. She dropped her eyes and said indifferently, ¡°No need. I¡¯m going in two days. ¡± He knew staying another day was torturous for her. She wished to leave quickly, hoping for a fresh start for both of them. What kind of life and woman he wanted had nothing to do with her¡­ She didn¡¯t want to disgrace herself in front of those who would casually wreck her life. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to leave, you can stay here,¡± Goden Bran said, walking forward. ¡°What status do I have to stay here?¡± Ava asked, mockingly. ¡°Or will you be kind and give me the house?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t belong to me anymore,¡± she said coldly, looking around the room. What¡¯s the point of a home? ¡± Hearing her slight anguish and cries, he longed to hold and soothe her. But no! ¡°Up to you,¡± he could only say. That was all for the day. He didn¡¯t return to his room for the entire night. He liked her, the one who would be furious at him andugh for him¡­ She slept on their scarlet wedding bed, staring nkly towards the dungeon, tears streaming down her face¡­ During that period, she lived in this residence. Then she returned home without meeting anybody. He was too busy to apany her, but he had time to hunt for another woman¡­ A emotional drama like an extramarital affair might be yed by someone cold and dismissive of her so-called emotions. She was truly the person who trusted him the most in this world. It was just that he did not know, never knew! Ava Lins would prefer they divorced than have an affair¡­ Chapter 37 This was a huge blow to her. She had been Mistress Goden Bran for more than two months now, and she couldn¡¯t even bear to look at her husband anymore. Ava felt disoriented as she turned around and looked out the window at the moonlight. The situation in front of her, Jeorge Milton¡¯s arrival, had thrown her life into disarray, leaving her unsure of what would happen next. Dayster. White clouds bloomed above the blue sky. Ava Lins strolled behind Jeorge Milton on the beautiful green area of the Golf, her face sad. ¡°Ava Lins,e with me to visit a client,¡± he said seriously as he left for work. You are the case manager and know the situation better than I.¡± His words implied she had no choice but to leave. Officially, she would be in the wrong if she refused. She gathered a pile of important papers and followed him to meet the so-called coborating party. But he drove it there! She wanted to know where the cooperating parties¡¯were! Except for him and her, there was just air! Was he using his job to entice her to y ball with him? ¡°Don¡¯t be so miserable,¡± he said, tugging her hand as he proceeded ahead, ¡°don¡¯t be so unhappy.¡± Others who want to steal this chance won¡¯t get it.¡± ¡°Now the vice president ofCiqi Group is bringing you out to y, don¡¯t you feel honored?¡± ¡°I really have the luck of my life,¡± Ava snorted. ¡°This is fantastic,¡± he said, reaching out to tenderly touch her hair behind her ears. How lovely she is¡­ He felt ufortable gazing at her all day since she was sad. He liked her, and he knew how to make her mad. This gave her a keen wit. His equivocal gestures made Ava Lins flush, her pulse skip a beat, and she said, ¡°What?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t tell you,¡± he murmured curiously as he grinned. His Golf stick in hand, he aimed at the hole with a gentle wave of his hand, and the ball rolled into the hole. As the sun sank in the west, golden light flooded the sky, falling on her hair, giving it a slight sheen¡­ Ava Lins believed his mischievous and wicked grin was not that irritating¡­ ¡°Try it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how to,¡± Ava said as he gave her the Golf staff. ¡°How do you know nothing?¡± He recalled her inability to dance¡­ ¡°Because I don¡¯t have time to entertain myself,¡± Ava said, turning her body to the side and looked into the distance. She had no time and money to upy herself like these young experts. She had to work and study in order to support her family¡­ She hoped that Omi Lins would be able to go farther and be even better in the future¡­ And she had forgotten what she loved when her mother abandoned them. ¡°Do you believe an untalenteddy is not appealing at all?¡± she questioned cruelly. ¡°Move your foot a little, yes, that¡¯s it, gently, not too hard, aim, see?¡± His voice was strong and deep, a pleasure to hear. His warm breath stroked her cheeks, making her ears heated, and he stood behind her, both hands on her hands, like a small bird resting on his chest. For some reason, she couldn¡¯t focus at all. It was as if he had a vast magic force that led her to be absent-minded. The closer she felt to his aura, the more sensitive she grew. Ava¡¯s cheeks unintentionally went crimson, and her actions were a little awkward. After a few swings, even the ball was deflected. Perhaps it was due to hisck of power or because he was preupied and yed like a puppet, so he didn¡¯t have a clear grasp of the issue. When Jeorge Milton observed that her ears had be red, a tiny smirk formed in his dark eyes as he purposely murmured into her ear, ¡°Do it again,.¡± Her face flushed as she struggled to free herself, but he resisted, grabbing her hands. Ava was annoyed, not because she didn¡¯t understand what was going on, but because he kept being ambiguous¡­ ¡°Leave me, George Milton. ¡°How can it be abandoned midway?¡± One more time, trust me. ¡± He didn¡¯t want to let it go, so Ava had toply. She tried her best to focus and followed his orders. With a little wave, the ball softly slid over and suddenly dropped into the cave. Ava was instantly pleasantly pleased. He grinned and eximed, ¡°Let¡¯s go in, do you see? ¡°Yes.¡± He let go of her hand, but instead put his arm around her waist, cing his touch against her face from behind. Ava was awed. She shrank her shoulders to prevent the electric jolt, but he gripped her harder, and she hurriedly murmured, ¡°Jeorge Milton¡­¡± ¡°No one is born knowing everything, and there¡¯s nothing you¡¯ll never know,¡± he said, ignoring her slight protest for his name. I¡¯ll teach you anything you want to know.¡± Can you grant grandma¡¯s selfish request? Her apathy made him ill at ease. His attractive voice had a miraculous effect on her, making her move. But he had over-predicted the future. Who knew whether they had a future together? She yanked herself out of his grip, not daring to look at him. ¡°It¡¯s bingte. Let¡¯s go back early,¡± she said, blushing. He rushed to the Golf Pce, not waiting for him. Jeorge Milton elevated his lips to hers, his ck eyes gleaming. The car stopped in front of Ava Lins. Jeorge Milton¡¯s gaze shifted to her . ¡°Who?¡± he asked himself as he looked at the guy in front. Most likely, he didn¡¯t know. Jeorge Milton sighed, reluctant to disturb her, he leaned against the car and looked at her quietly. She resembled Kacy, but she wasn¡¯t his. His mind wandered, recalling moments from his adolescence. Jeorge Milton gently grasped Ava¡¯s hand, not wanting to wake her. He squeezed her fingers firmly together. Grasp hers. He was thinking about another woman who had died.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. He couldn¡¯t stay with her forever. This was all caused by his mother! He clenched her hands, his eyes heavy with grief. His heart would ache once he was calm. When he was in anguish, he wanted to die! Avaoverslept that night. She slept in his car all night and woke up feeling quite ufortable and in pain in her neck. Her hand was squeezed hard¡­ Their hands were sped all night as they slept. Chapter 38 The sun was rising and he was still asleep. The golden light spilled on his face, highlighting his eyshes¡­ The man¡¯s eyshes were abnormally lengthy, Ava discovered! She walked over to check what was going on, but he opened his eyes and gazed at her without blinking. The past was gone. His eyes¡¯ sadness andplexity eluded her. He was always gazing at her, as if he was looking through her at someone else¡­ Her two eyes met his, and she couldn¡¯t look away till he approached, his tiny lips brushing against hers. It seemed like though he was pampering his infant. When Avaregained consciousness, she shoved him away. She sat upright, away from him. Her cheeks were flushed by the golden light that filled the sky. Jeorge Milton whispered quietly, reaching for her hand. ¡°Can I go up andy down?¡± Ava looked up at him. Jeorge Milton had the impression that she was treating him like a dangerous wolf. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, if the wolf nned to attack you, he didn¡¯t need to wait until today,¡± he mocked her. Why did he wait until now? He made Ava¡¯s face even redder. ¡°Don¡¯t be too expectant. I¡¯m weary today and won¡¯t touch you.¡± He¡¯d never encountered a woman who despised him so intensely. ¡°Who¡¯s looking forward ?¡±Ava sneered. She wanted he¡¯d never touch her or hate her. ¡°Do you really want me to be bored of you?¡±Jeorge Milton questioned, his grin hidden. Isn¡¯t it obvious that she disliked him? Jeorge Milton smirked cruelly. He had pushed her to a point where she had no option but to obey him. In actuality, she despised it when others yed with her. She resented him the more he attempted to get close to her. ¡°Do you really don¡¯t want me to go up there? ¡± he said, his lips curved in a pathetic arc. Ava smirked. ¡°There¡¯s more than one, both of them,¡± she murmured, withdrawing her hand. He ughed ¡°¡±Then I shall go up and see who dares to touch my wife.¡± His actions made Avachuckle. Even though she had a grin on her face, she was scared that others would gossip if they spotted Jeorge Milton. ¡°No way, Jeorge Milton, I¡¯ll be noticed if I go up now.¡± ¡°What?¡± Arriving in her chamber, he drew her close, hugged her from behind, and said softly, ¡°Do you fear being seen?¡± ¡°Why? ¡± He knew the answer, but he purposefully murmured it in her ear while holding her. Ava smirked, not daring to chastise him harshly. ¡°Jeorge Milton, don¡¯t do this!¡± she hushed. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you should hurry up and open the door before your neighbor sees it.¡± Ava couldn¡¯t help but open the door. She regretted entering the room! She wished she hadn¡¯t! He drew her into his grip, forced her head down, and kissed her. ¡°Jeorge Milton, don¡¯t forget what you said just now,¡± she said fiercely, reaching out to cover her lips. He won¡¯t touch her! ¡°Then let me hold you,¡±Jeorge Milton said, tightening his arms around her. Ava¡¯s head fit his chest. As she leaned against his chest, she could hear his strong and steady pulse. Ava wanted to fight free, but as she thought of Goden Bran¡¯s coldness, her palm on Jeorge Milton¡¯s chest lost all force. She even missed Jeorge Milton¡¯s embrace¡¯s feeling of security. Maybe Goden Bran had enough of her, and Jeorge Milton¡¯s actions helped him restore confidence. Every time he held her, he wanted to rub her into his body with his great might. So much so that she mistook him for someone else she couldn¡¯t bear to lose or miss¡­ Sadly, Goden Bran never gave her that sensation. He offered her a feeling, an embrace, out of pity¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going toy down for a while?¡± she said softly. ¡°No guest rooms, sleep on the couch.¡± ¡°Ava, help me make something to eat, and anybody can eat what you cook, but only I can¡¯t eat it.¡± His voice sounded like a kid denied choctes, yet Avafelt a warmth in her heart. ¡°Isn¡¯t it simply food? What delicacies hadn¡¯t he tried before? What does it matter what she cooks? Jeorge Milton drew his arm back and hugged her. ¡°I can¡¯t eat the stuff you prepare,¡± he whispered seriously, his chin against her hair. His tone was both whining and envious. c When he came at the hospital that day, Tianra Lins was eating Ava¡¯s soup. ¡°My brother-inw is the luckiest man alive, and the food my sister prepares is amazing,¡± she proudly added. ¡°Do you believe my brother-inw is pleased eating my sister¡¯s cooking?¡± Jeorge Milton just smiled, but he was envious of Goden Bran. He hoped she would be willing to cook for him again¡­ Hearing his tone made Avafeel helpless, like if he would never be able to eat it. ¡°Nothing to cook today, maybe tomorrow.¡± ¡°Is it today?¡± ¡°There¡¯s always a possibility,¡±Jeorge Milton said after a lengthy pause. Avafollowed him, wanting to stop him. ¡°This bed is extremelyfy,¡± he moaned, already lying on it. ¡°You¡¯re being slept in.¡± She didn¡¯t want his odor on her bed¡­ ¡°Hurry up!¡±Avayelled, reaching out to pull him back. His hand was suddenly retracted, and he yanked¡­ Ah¡­ She shouted and pounced on his chest. Jeorge Milton encircled her waist and crushed her against his body. Then he used his long legs to squeeze her legs, immobilizing her. ¡°Jeorge Milton, you rogue!¡±Ava shouted fiercely, her cheeks reddened. ¡°Rascal?¡±¡±You still don¡¯t get a real rogue.¡± As he said, he kissed her. Fearful, Ava closed her eyes and leaned her head to the side. His kiss wasn¡¯t on her lips, but on her earlobe. His smoky breath caressed her face, disrupting her cardiac rhythm. ¡°Jeorge Milton¡­¡±Av atightened up, frightened. He didn¡¯t respond. Instead, he slept at her side, resolutely holding her waist¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t move it carelessly,¡± he added in a low voice, as she felt ufortable. Ava nced at him and realized he had closed his eyes and was tired.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. A person who slept too much would be too lethargic to get up. A warm hug. He didn¡¯t want to get up in the cold. Chapter 39 When Ava awoke, it was dark. She felt dizzy. She opened her eyes to find herself in his arms, his warm, even breath stroking the nape of her neck. She took Jeorge Milton¡¯s hand and perched on the windowsill, stunned. Jeorge Milton awoke with his hands on his side. It was void. He squinted again, scanning his surroundings. Then he saw she was on the balcony. Her long hair was swaying in the breeze¡­ The doorbell interrupted his reading, sending tremors through his emotions. Then Ava turned back and saw Jeorge Milton had awoken. She approached the door silently, and when she peeked through the wall and saw Goden Bran¡¯s face, she was stunned! Was he there? Avawas afraid to enter. The doorbell rang. Ava was afraid to open the door. ¡°Ava!¡± ¡°Ava!¡± Outside, his inebriated whooshing was followed by his fist mming the door. The noises seemed to touch Ava. Jeorge Milton exited and was ready to open the door when he heard a noise outside. She halted him, tapped the doorknob, and shook her head pleadingly. ¡°Please.¡±C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Jeorge Milton¡¯s heart sank as he saw her face. Did she really love him? Could she ever forgive Goden Bran after all he had done to her? He didn¡¯t want to ask, so he stepped into the living room, generating a stir. Goden Bran drank heavily and knocked. After a long time, he opened the door but sat next it. So why wasn¡¯t he joyful today? He had already made up his mind to marry Belli Tannu. When Belli Tannu, in her bridal gown, exited the locker room, he thought of Ava. Was it because she was his first wife? He had no idea he could recall Ava¡¯s bridal gown so vividly. He drank heavily at the bar and got a driver. He should¡¯ve gone home, but he didn¡¯t. For the first time, he noticed the house was very cold. Her home has no front door yet. Goden Bran raised a sour smirk. After a little rest, he rose up and proceeded down the steps. Avaunlocked the door, seeing him go through the crack. His eyes were somewhat wet. But why did hee knocking on her door? Isn¡¯t he ambitious? Just hug another woman and n her future. Why was this? Is he drunk? She didn¡¯t want to hear him. ¡°I¡¯ll go purchase anything you want to eat,¡±she murmured, as she moved past him and into the bedroom. ¡°Don¡¯t bother, I¡¯m not hungry.¡± ¡°¡±How about we go to a movie?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Avalost her patience, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go. Please, Jeorge Milton, leave me alone! ¡± How could she be so cheerful now? Her impatience made him uneasy, particrly because of another guy. His dark eyes became dull, and his face turned gloomy and terrifying, with a trace of fury on it. Do you want to sleep on Goden Bran¡¯s bed?! ¡°I am exhausted, you just go out of here,¡± Ava said, lowering her head. She finished speaking and was going to leave. His huge palm unexpectedly grasped her arm. It felt as if he intended to crush her bones, so she grimaced, trying to fight free but not letting go ¡°What¡¯s up, Jeorge Milton?¡± ¡°Do what I¡¯ve always desired!¡± Ava turned her head to the side, resting her hands on his chest, just as he was ready to bend down and kiss her. The hot, moist kiss adhered to her face, a bit of a punishing kiss on her neck, rolling her over. She tried, but couldn¡¯t get out of his grasp. As they drew closer, Ava¡¯s leg was crushed against the couch, and he kissed her, immobilizing her. ¡°Jeorge Milton, go.¡± ¡°You said you wouldn¡¯t touch me¡­¡± She was terrified by his forceful looting, and despite her best efforts, she was unable to push him away. ¡°But I¡¯ve changed my mind,¡± he said roughly. He couldn¡¯t stand to watch her in love with that guy, so he waited till she was ready. Goden Bran had a way of affecting her heart and emotions, even though he was nothing! He couldn¡¯t resist his jealousy, wanting her now, she belonged to him! He reached to knot her trousers, but she shoved him away, clutching her nightclothes, and he caught up to her in two steps. ¡°Leave.¡± ¡°Do you truly want toy on Goden Bran¡¯s bed?¡± His words pierced her. As Ava tried to grasp anything, her palm anxiously swung around, towards his head. Jeorge Milton sighed, raising his eyebrows in shock, his dark eyes filled with bewilderment. Ava had only now realized her ss was empty. Who knew it would be a weapon she would use to hurt Jeorge Milton today. ¡°I¡­¡± He let go of her, turned around, grabbed up his suit jacket, and went. The room became silent again. It was as peaceful as a storm, but more terrible. Her clothing were torn by him and fell down her shoulders as she clenched her chest and gazed nkly at the blood on the ss¡­ He was the one driving her to harm him like this. Jeorge Milton returned home in a state of astonishment, saw Feru bringing the woman in, and violently tossed his jacket on the couch, then yelled at Feru who wasying on the sofa, ¡°Damn you all!¡± Feru was stunned by the blood on his face and his rage. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go have some fun somece else,¡± he said, pulling the petite beauty next him up. He drew the woman and walked towards the door, but he could still hear the womanining ¡°You said this is your home. Who is he? Why are you yelling at us to run? ¡± ¡°Stop whining, my darling. Let¡¯s leave, I¡¯ll find a better spot for you to y.¡± Jeorge Milton reclined back on the couch, his feet on the tea table, and drew a cigarette from his pocket, but did not light it. Why did he feel possessed to be with her? Her personality was still obstinate and disobedient! She was less likely to look him in the eye while disputing with him! Why does he want to see her so badly? Is it because she resembled Kacy? Chapter 40 His hand flicked the lighter, lighting, extinguishing¡­ He squinted at the blue mes. Then he wondered whether she was truly uninterested in him, or was she simply ying a joke on him. When she continually looked him down, he knew she was different from the other women and didn¡¯t care about him¡­ ¡°Yes.¡± This made him upset, furious, and even mncholy. He couldn¡¯t help but want to assist her whenever she was in danger, and even when he realized that she was going to be with another guy, it was only because Kacy¡¯s emotions for him.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. That felt was pity. his empathy for Kacy¡­ He leaned against the wall, causing the wound to sting, and remembered the sight of him dragging on her¡­ Ava never imagined meeting Goden Bran at the drugstore. He was standing there with eyes full with thoughts that she couldn¡¯t fathom¡­ She quickly shifted her gaze away, recalling hisst night¡¯s knock, only to be saddened to see something for the pregnancy test in his hand. He was astonished; could it be that thedy already had one? She faked a grin at him, thinking that he must dislike her since he frowned and stared at her. Avaturned aside and proceeded to the register. When Goden Bran rushed out to pursue her, she had already moved far away, and he could only watch her back fade away in the throng. His heart shook suddenly. His heart was screwed up by her gaze at what he had held, so he dumped it in the trash. When Goden Bran got into his car, he nced up and noticed the red safety amulet softly waving with the breeze. ¡°Safe entry and exit. Every day you leave workte. I¡¯m scared that wearing this will help me rx ¡°She gave it to him as a joke since she was a senior at the time. ¡°Childish¡­¡± He murmured, but he didn¡¯t remove it. That innocent grin had vanished as he reached for the safety amulet. Suddenly, an emergency vehicle sted , and numerous people crowded, making Goden Bran nervous and drive to the front. He peered out the window and saw just the dark mass of people and the police barricade. ¡°Why did Auntie bleed so much, Mom?¡± Thedy strolled passed Goden Bran¡¯s car, holding the boy¡¯s hand and asking curiously, ¡°She¡¯ll get struck by a car and bleed profusely if she doesn¡¯t look at the road. So, dear, grasp mom¡¯s hand while you cross the street. ¡°The mother taught her kid. This made Goden Bran even more agitated. He had no choice. She had just seen him and walked away in fear, as if she had seen a ghost. Realizing this, Goden Bran stood up, opened the door, and exited. His heart thumped fiercely, and he thought his blood would freeze. He squinted his eyes, unable to look at the blood for a minute. His father was exactly like that, lying on the street with blood all over the ground¡­ He gazed at the woman until the cops stood up and Goden Bran saw her face, then sighed quietly. When he lifted his gaze again, he saw thedy he feared. When Goden Bran saw her, he felt his heart spring alive. Ava felt the burning re and turned to nce across, shocked by his lovely eyes, before turning and leaving. Lately. ¡°Dear? Dear? ¡± Belli Tannu called out to Goden Bran in the restroom, but no one replied. ¡°Where is he?¡± She came out, saw Goden Bran in front of the window, and hugged him from behind ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t you answer me when I call ?¡± Goden Bran drew her hand and asked, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Belli Tannu, sensing something was wrong, approached him ¡°How was your night? Always absent-minded and gloomy. ¡± ¡°Are you uncertain or saddened by my pregnancy¡± Belli Tannu replied somberly, her eyes welling with tears. Goden Bran sighed, seeing her like that: ¡°Why is that? ¡± ¡°So why do you ignore me?¡± ¡°I simply¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t help but recall the afternoon¡¯s incident. ¡°I¡¯m just thinking about work,¡± he sighed, pulling Belli Tannu into her embrace. I will urge my father to look after you at work, and the government will think of you first if they have any decent policies. ¡°Yes.¡± His dark eyes appeared to be thinking as he gazed out the window. ¡°Oh yeah, I asked you to purchase the pregnancy test, did you buy it?¡± thought Belli Tannu, raising her head and looking at him. ¡°That item is not very urate, tomorrow I will bring you to the hospital to check it, ¡°You didn¡¯t want to work?¡± He said he¡¯d apany her to the hospital, and she smiled. ¡°Of course you¡¯re more important than work,¡± he said softly, reaching out to touch her cheek. Belli Tannu felt instantly happy. ¡°Honey, you¡¯re so lovely,¡± she whispered softly in his hug. It was freezing the following day. Despite the heated office, Ava felt chilly as her headache worsened. Achoo So did she. ¡°Ava, are you okay?¡± Lily said, standing alongside her. He grinned. ¡°Fine.¡± Lily mocked and joked ¡°You didn¡¯te yesterday, so someone must be thinking about you. Which firm didn¡¯t believe Ava Lins¡¯ entry was due to her connection with Jeorge Milton? Avawas taken aback by Lily¡¯s words. When Lily looked up and saw the manager and Vice President, she knew something was wrong and immediately lowered her head. If Lily had said he came here for a fewps yesterday, that she had asked the manager for leave yesterday, and would return to work in the future, then why had he specificallye to the Design Department Sect for a fewps? She knew she didn¡¯t have to bother the Vice President toe over personally if there was something. Avalowered her eyes and focused on her work, not wanting to think too much or guess his thoughts. Jeorge Milton did not walk in front of her to talk to her, but instead called the manager to Design Department. Ava watched his retreating back, and thought that it must be Lily , as she really had something on in the Design Department, and did note here to see if she was there as Lily had said. She mocked herself. If she hurt him like that, he would hate her, right? In fact, she was just in useless. Not longter, her phone started to vibrate. When she opened it, she saw a message: Come down¡­ Chapter 41 Avadidn¡¯t need to look at the number to know who sent it. She ced the phone down and ignored it. After approximately five minutes, her mobile phone began ringing again. She scowled and opened a new message. ¡°You want me to pick you up?¡± It was time for lunch, so she had to stop working. Avastepped up to his car and asked, ¡°What¡¯s up, Boss Milton¡± The more she appeared to be aloof and courteous, the more Jeorge Milton gazed at her.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first if nothing else. I still have much to do ¡°Ava turned around and was prepared to depart when he said . Jeorge Milton groaned and urged, ¡°Get in ,¡± as she turned around. ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Hospital.¡± ¡°Hospital?¡± ¡°To see Tianra Lins?¡± ¡± let¡¯s get in the car and speak,¡±Jeorge Milton agreed. Ava paused before getting into the car. They didn¡¯t talk about what urred that night, didn¡¯t exin it, didn¡¯t acknowledge it, and it was like a scar that no one wanted. She followed him inside the hospital, where the Inpatient Department should have gone to the left, but he put out his hand and dragged her to the right. ¡°Are you going the wrong way?¡± ¡°Jeorge Milton, the ICU is over there! ¡°Mr. Milton! he said quietly, taking her hand and leading her to the specialist¡¯s office. The doctor asked Jeorge Milton, ¡°Are you ufortable? ¡°I¡± Since the doctor had asked, Ava assumed she had a headache and a cold for two days. ¡°Have a decent rest, don¡¯t frequently stay upte,¡± the doctor wrote on the paper. When Jeorge Milton¡¯s phone rang, he stepped outside to answer it, and the doctor watched him go and asked: ¡°How do you feel about George? ¡°Huh? When the male doctor observed Ava¡¯s perplexed face, he softly grinned and said, ¡°I¡¯m his pal. He phoned early in the morning and told me to do everything today. I¡¯ll remain and help you.¡± ¡°I thought it was a dangerous sickness, but it was only a cold,¡± the doctor said sadly. The doctor gave Ava another prescription, smiling softly and eloquently ¡°Just go home and rx. It¡¯s a joke. I haven¡¯t seen him interested in a woman in years. I must have missed a lot.¡± When Ava heard this, she flushed slightly and tried to exin, but it was all in vain. When Ava left the doctor¡¯s office, she saw Jeorge Milton speaking with a three-year-old kid, his lovely face full of genuine affection. ¡°Uncle, can you bring me to find mother?¡± the boy asked Jeorge Milton, his eyes teary ck. The little boy¡¯s voice choked with sobs as he spoke of his mother, his face wet with tears. Jeorge Milton brushed away his tears and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t weep, uncle will take you to your mother, okay?¡± He seemed apprehensive, as if he feared the kid might scream and he would be helpless. Avahad never seen him like this and was astonished he enjoyed children. Jeorge Milton turned to gaze at her, mocking ¡°Isn¡¯t she lovely, Mommy?¡± ¡°Of course my mom is the prettiest,¡± the infant said, assessing Ava¡¯s beauty. ¡°Auntie is also beautiful,¡± he giggled. When Ava heard this, she smiled. She reached out to pinch his cheek. Gratitude filled her eyes as she nced at George and Ava and offered a few words of appreciation ¡°I adore you both, husband and wife. I would have perished if not for you. The small child found his mother and hugged her firmly, as though frightened she wouldn¡¯t see him again. ¡°Baby, thank uncle and aunt.¡± Then the little boy turned around and said, ¡°Thank you, uncle and aunt.¡± That lovely tiny face was endearing. Ava adored children and thought a kid between Goden Bran and her would be perfect. Unexpectedly, she felt sad and sorrowful. ¡°You like kids? Jeorge grimaced, ¡°Your hand is like ice.¡± He didn¡¯t let go of Ava¡¯s hand. ¡°Do you like children?¡± he asked. ¡°I don¡¯t like it,¡± she replied, drawing her eyes away from his. Hearing this, he smirked. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have many reasons; I used to appreciate it, but no longer do.¡± Previously, her and Goden Bran¡¯s children were the happiest in her womb. But now¡­ it was impossible. ¡°Such a chilly hand, it¡¯s already sick, and I don¡¯t know how to wear more,¡±Jeorge Milton replied, clutching her hand in his. After that, he removed his casual suit and arrogantly threw it over her body. ¡°Is this a bit warmer?¡± His temperature was within his garments. How could it be cold? Avasimply felt warm and remembered what the doctor had said just now: he had urged the expert to refuse all surgeries and remain back to see her. He had taken her to the hospital . But he said nothing. Is the guy who had grown enraged with her that night ¡°You gave me your clothing, aren¡¯t you cold?¡±Ava questioned, pulling his garments tighter. ¡°Cold.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m warm.¡± You can only injure Tianra Lins. ¡°En?¡± She smirked as he approached her, then extended his arms and drew her into his hug. ¡°If I embrace you like this, I won¡¯t feel chilly,¡± said a deep voice to Ava Ava felt oddly ted at the time. Her face flushed and she wanted to weep. Is it too long since she got an embrace like that? It had been too long since she had been treated so. Belli Tannu, mindful of her vulnerability, loved to be firmly embraced with her arms wide open. She began to wonder whether there was anybody in this world who would look for Belli Tannu. Her strong-looking heart had been pierced in its softest section, causing her eyes to swell. Jeorge Milton¡¯s hug eluded her. So warm, so powerful Goden Bran, who was not long behind them, saw this sight. He stood there for a long time, trying to calm his present mood. He apanied Belli Tannu to the hospital for tests. He went out to have a cigarette after the results and saw this. He stared helplessly as the guy embraced Ava Lins. Goden Bran¡¯s heart ached at that time. He hoped he could separate them. But, what qualifications? Chapter 42 He had questioned whether she should move in with Jeorge Milton that day, when she was so eager to pack her things she refused to remain even a day. When he found out she was back in her old apartmentplex, he twisted his lips. Anyone walking by would, unintentionally or not, gaze at them. ¡°Let go of me,¡± she said shyly. ¡°Since we¡¯ve arrived at the hospital, let¡¯s go have a look,¡± he muttered, clenching her hands hard. ¡°Yes.¡± When Avaheard this, she smiled . She raised the corner of her lips. But when she turned around¡­ Her lips became rigid and her grin faded. She just gazed nkly at Goden Bran. ¡°Hey!¡± Ava Lins lowered her voice and pleaded with him to let go, but he ignored her. She approached Goden Bran, pretending to be a stranger who had never seen him. But as she passed by Goden Bran, she heard him say quietly, ¡°Ava.¡± She hesitated,. Goden Bran averted his gaze with his fists clenched. He opened his lips to speak, when his phone rang. His phone rang again. He could only respond. Avab smirked, letting Jeorge Milton draw her forward. Her tears fell. She couldn¡¯t help but turn around and saw him headed towards the OB/GYN department. So he had a kid. Then his grandmother would be overjoyed to have a grandchild¡­ In obstetrics and gynecology. Belli Tannu exited disappointed. ¡°How is it possible?¡± she said, ten times holding result in her fingers. ¡°I left for a month, inly pregnant and humiliated.¡± So, if you believe this hospital¡¯s test is wed, let¡¯s find some more. Belli Tannu shook Goden Bran¡¯s hand. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± she shook her palm fiercely at Goden Bran. ¡°Nothing,¡± he said, Belli Tannu frowned. The doctor said you merely had a terrible stomachache. ¡± Belli Tannu didn¡¯t think she couldn¡¯t conceive¡­ In ward. Ava Linswas outdoors on a long chair, looking nkly into the horizon. ¡°Actually, Jeorge Milton doesn¡¯t like Tianra Lins,¡±Omi Linssaid, sitting alongside Avain the hospital. ¡°Why do you say that?¡±Ava questioned Omi Lins, puzzled.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°You are my sister, I hope you can be happy,¡±Omi Lins said, turning his head. I see Jeorge Milton likes you, not Tianra Lins.¡± ¡°You can only injure Tianra Lins by bringing him to see her like this.¡± Ava Lins was astonished, ¡°Who¡­. ¡°He likes me.¡± Didn¡¯t Omi Lins vow he¡¯d get even with Jeorge Milton? ¡°Thest time I had a fight with someone, he helped me out, and¡­¡±Omi Lins bowed his head. ¡°Sis, I have mentioned, you¡¯re not permitted to get upset,¡±Omi Linssaid softly. When Jeorge Milton found out I was working in a bar to make money on my own, he handed me $20, 000 on his card. ¡°What!¡± ¡°He handed you money? ¡°Ava said, her voice rising. ¡°I want to return it to him, but he won¡¯t allow me; he instructed me to work and earn money first.¡± ¡°Sis, he constantly asks about you but seldom mentions Tianra Lins, so don¡¯t let happiness pass by .¡± Ava couldn¡¯t say anything out loud. ¡°Then sister will help you pay back the money. You should study carefully and not worry about this anymore, understand?¡± she asked, sighing pathetically. ¡°What urred between us is not as easy as you believe, and he is not the sort of guy you think .¡± But ¡°Fine, as long as you are not with Goden Bran, whatever you do, I will back you,¡±Omi Linssaid. Hearing this made Ava¡¯s heart ache. He asked her many of questions on the way back, but she merely responded ¡°No¡± quietly until he stopped asking. Her hotel was not distant from the hospital. Today¡¯s traffic gridlock was very bad. Ava felt trapped for too long. She wanted to get out of the car without saying anything. He ran up to her, seized her hand, embraced her from behind, and buried his head in her neck. ¡°Why are you unhappy again?¡± he said quietly. He knew she had something concealed in her heart when he left the hospital. Ava tried to escape, but he held her too firmly. ¡°Jeorge Milton, how much do you want me to owe you?¡± she asked nkly. He had handed her 100, 000 dors. On that day, she found the dean still serving her tea. ¡°We¡¯ll do our utmost to provide your sister the greatest prosthetics and rehab.¡± ¡°As for the cost, Mr Milton advised us not to mention it to avoid putting too much pressure,¡± the dean responded vaguely when she questioned about it. Repay him for the rest of your life. ¡°Jeorge Milton, I still have some money with me, may I return it to you? Don¡¯te s for me.¡± It would be wonderful to return the funds and disconnect. ¡°You think I won¡¯t find for you again?¡± he said, still holding her. ¡°Ava Lins, do you really hate me that much?¡± he said, turning her body. ¡°It¡¯s not that I hate you, but¡­¡± she eventually replied after much coughing. ¡°Since you don¡¯t dislike me, then don¡¯t think too much and faithfully remain by my side. I will treat you better than he can,¡±Jeorge Milton said, pulling her into his hug. She sighed, knowing she couldn¡¯t end this connection for now. ¡°I¡¯m exhausted. You should go back early,¡± she said dejectedly. She shoved him away. She turned around and headed to the hallway. In thepany. Goden Bran put out his cigarette and solemnly observed the news on thepany¡¯s stock market and his marriage. The paparazzi discovered his divorce and his romance. The announcement sent thepany¡¯s stock plummeting¡­ He reviewed the data and walked dejectedly to the window. He reflected on what he had witnessed at the hospital today. The more he imagined her in Jeorge Milton¡¯s arms, the angrier he became. Boredom increased as he untied his tie to let his heart breathe. The kitchen was ttering at this time. Then screams¡­ His abrupt exit scared Belli Tannu. Belli Tannu didn¡¯t dare to approach the zing kettle. ¡°How terrifying, the mes came racing up straight away,¡± she said as she went up to embrace him. Chapter 43 Goden Bran drew Belli Tannu away, moved forward, covered the burning mes with the lid, and put it out. After putting out the pot fire, he nced around the kitchen and found a mess. Belli Tannu took everything out of order and scattered everything. The ingredients were also strewn around and the workbench was oiled. ¡°I was afraid just now, that¡¯s why I became like this,¡±Belli Tannu whispered as she approached him. ¡°How about¡­ ¡°Work in the study room. ¡°I¡¯ll clean it up and restart.¡± The first time Ava entered his home, she was working in the kitchen with an apron, and she wouldn¡¯t have made the kitchen seem like this. ¡°There¡¯s no need,¡± he moaned. ¡°Let¡¯s go out to eat.¡± ¡°Clean up the kitchen,¡± he said as he exited the kitchen and headed upstairs. His clothing were still the same as when she helped him tidy them in the past, and he felt nostalgic. If she was still there¡­C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. He had no idea it had been just two months. He was ustomed to her presence, to their shadow in his home. Her grin and body were everywhere. Goden Bran was dazed, thinking about the hospital scenario. Jeorge Milton sent her home every time she got off work for a few days, and he nned her weekends. He brought her to events where he met wealthy and important people. She didn¡¯t want to be in his life, but he never pressed her. She would hold him and allow him, the Eldest Young Master, release his ennui as long as she was at his side¡­ Like today, she didn¡¯t have to ask where he was taking her. He just went out with his mates and had fun. Avadozed on the way home and awoke finding herself on bed. She raised the cover and peered around the strange surroundings. Avao stepped out onto the balcony, revealing a lovely blue sea vista. Jeorge Milton exited the restroom and spotted her barefoot on the balcony, a tiny grin on his face. ¡°Do you like here?¡± he said, hugging her from behind. ¡°Well¡±Ava replied, tilting her head and ncing at him. This type of resort made her rx . ¡°It¡¯s hard to discover what you want,¡± he moaned. He knew she didn¡¯t enjoy ying with his buddies or that kind of stuff. He didn¡¯t know since she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Want to take a walk?¡± ¡°Why are there just us?¡± he wondered, as Ava nodded and followed him downstairs. ¡± Didn¡¯t he usually bring his friends? ¡°Isn¡¯t it better if it¡¯s just the two of us?¡±Jeorge Milton grinned. ¡°What are you doing with those third wheels?¡± I can¡¯t even approach you. ¡± On the beach, George crouched on his knee in front of Ava, about to grab her ankle, and Ava retreated, saying, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Take off your shoes, it¡¯s hard to walk in these,¡±Jeorge Milton replied, grinning. He helped her take off her shoes again. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± She was ashamed, but he had already taken off her shoes and held them in his palm as he led her down the shore. The evening light glistened on the sea¡¯s surface, and the ice felt cold and invigorating as it surged past her ankles. They took a walk on the shore, like a couple or someone in love. ¡°Do you like anybody, Jeorge Milton?¡± She pondered what Omi Lins had said that day, and then questioned, as if to negate Omi Lins¡¯ predictions. ¡°Why do you ask?¡± he said. ¡°I¡¯m simply interested.¡± ¡°Curious?¡± He didn¡¯t want to exin or deny anything, as he had been for years. ¡°Yes,¡± he said softly. ¡°Who is she?¡± ¡°A lovelydy.¡± ¡°Why aren¡¯t you together?¡± she said, her voice trailing off. Jeorge Milton gazed at her. Long enough for her to ask this difficult question. ¡°She¡¯s gone,¡± he said softly as she was ready to speak. Ava was taken aback by his yful demeanor. She assumed someone like him would only worry about hurting a girl¡¯s feelings and not about anyone¡¯s life or death. She wished she could console him, but she couldn¡¯t, so she had to remain mute and follow his lead. When Ava arrived to the hotel¡¯s vi, she found that she hadn¡¯t packed any clothing, so she could only put on the bathrobe and open the bathroom door. She walked to the living room and found him watching TV, her hair dripping on her left shoulder. ¡°Come over,¡±Jeorge Milton said as she walked down the stairs. She went over and sat far away from him, conscious that he was looking at her and that they were the only ones in the home. She knew he was gazing at her¡­ He clearly couldn¡¯t watch TV. ¡°I¡¯ll go,¡± he said, stopping Ava from opening the door. How could he let her open the door in such attractive attire? Jeorge Milton opened the door, the waiter brought food into the living room, put it on the table, and then he smiled graciously. He walked to the bathroom, got out the hair drier, and knelt down next her, helping her blow her hair, running his fingers through her hair and softly massaging her scalp. She wasn¡¯t sure whether it was the wind or her body temperature, but she felt heated. His whole body tightened as he touched her delicate neck, and the scent of her hair stirred his buried hunger. In her hair, Jeorge Milton¡¯s hands swept behind, focusing on her entrancing dark red lips. Avacaught her breath as she felt his hot breath on her face. Just when he was ready to kiss her. He turned his head, letting his kiss tond on Ava¡¯s cheek. ¡°Ava, do you realize how lovely your hair is? ¡± Then he let her go and brought her to the table He sat alongside her after carefully tying her long hair behind her. ¡°You¡¯ve ordered so much, how will you finish it?¡± Despite the abundance of delicacies, Ava was overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin. ¡°I just know that you don¡¯t like spicy food, and I¡¯m wondering what you prefer to eat,¡± he smiled. ¡°I can only order them all because you didn¡¯t say.¡± ¡°Let¡¯se back next time and order what you prefer.¡± Avagazed into his dark eyes and saw a simple grin. She wanted to say something but couldn¡¯t. He looked really attentive to her¡­ ¡°Ava, tell me what you want for the future.¡± Avasmirked . ¡°What?¡± he lifted his eyebrows, . Ava Lins gazed at his attractive face. She had no idea whether he did this to all women. Chapter 44 She pondered and decided not to ask . She fiddled with the food in the dish, despite herck of hunger. The hotel¡¯s cuisine looked delicious, but she couldn¡¯t eat it. ¡°You don¡¯t like them?¡± He questioned, getting up to retrieve the phone. ¡°Then reorder.¡± ¡°Eh¡­¡±Ava grasped his wrist,¡±I simply don¡¯t like it.¡± He sat and shook her. ¡°It matters!¡± He kissed her nose as he said. Ava¡¯s heart was racing. She had to quickly look aside and eat something. After supper, she sat in the living room and watched TV while he bathed. She slept on the couch due to the cold. When Jeorge Milton returned, she was still sleeping and clutching the remote control board. Sitting next to her, he couldn¡¯t help but notice her sleepiness. The deep crimson lips itched his heart. He stretched his hand and caressed her lips. It felt gentle and soft. He seized the remote and switched off the TV before picking her up and carrying her upstairs. He sat her on the master bed and stared at her for a while before going to get a jewelry box. He gripped her ankle and put on the tiny foot chain with the lock. Her ankles were tiny, her skin soft,. He got up and left the room, covering her with a nket. He came up to the balcony and seated. He smoked a cigarette in silence¡­ The weekend was just one day, and they were expected back in the afternoon the next day. She awoke at about noon. She ate and left for Britain. He embraced her and murmured in her ear, ¡°Sleep with me a little longer.¡± As he spoke, hot air stroked her ears, making her shudder in pain. His arm was so strong it couldn¡¯t move. She slept in a haze and awoke around midday. Avawas embarrassed on the way back. Because when she awoke in the morning, she could definitely sense the guy behind her. She was closely gripped by him at the moment, and she tried to ignore anything behind her, but she couldn¡¯t. She flushed as she let him hold her, thinking, This guy is a hooligan! How could he¡­ Luckily, he didn¡¯t go any farther. She only slept when he embraced her. Her cheeks got redder as she recalled what urred that morning. It seemed as though she had hypoxia. ¡°What are you thinking about? ¡± he said softly, gripping her hand .C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Hearing this made Ava even more reluctant. She couldn¡¯t even lie. ¡°No¡­¡±¡±Nothing,¡±she stutters. ¡°It¡¯s odd to see you stuttering ,¡± he said, smiling. ¡°Do you like this gift?¡± he said, holding her hand to his lips and nibbling on her finger. Ava suddenly remembered her ankle was shackled, and the pendant was a lovely tiny lock. ¡°Why a lock?¡± She was puzzled. ¡°I can imprison you with me for the rest of your life.¡± His grin was both serious and casual, making it difficult to discern whether he was serious or not. When her phone called, Ava realized it was Goden Bran¡¯s number, she paused, and then answered. ¡°Hello.¡± The voice was feeble, and Ava had a feeling something was wrong. ¡°Is anything wrong?¡± he questioned. ¡°Ava, Grandma, she¡­¡±Goden Bran¡¯s tone changed, and he finally said, ¡°I¡¯m worried Grandmother can¡¯t hold on, can youe over?¡± Ava Lins hung up the phone, unable to restore her mood. ¡°Can you drive me to the hospital? Grandma¡¯s been to the hospital again,¡± she asked Jeorge Milton, fearing she might never see her again. ¡°What if I don¡¯t let you go?¡±J When Goden Bran mentioned his grandma, she would flee. Avawas shocked. ¡°I must leave!¡± she eximed, not believing he was kidding. ¡°Do you want to visit Grandma, or Goden Bran?¡± he asked, unhappy in his heart. ¡°Jeorge Milton, My grandma is ill in the hospital and I¡¯m scared she won¡¯t survive. How can you say such things now? ¡± ¡°Stop!¡± she yelled, turning away from him. ¡°I¡¯ll drive you there.¡± Jeorge Milton kept driving, his lips pursed, as if he didn¡¯t hear her screams. In an instant, he felt Ava¡¯s anger and was ready to open the door when he stepped on the brake and stopped the car on the wayside. ¡°Ava Lins, are you nuts!¡± Did she know his hands and feet were soft because his heart was racing? He was ready to turn and hurl her out when she opened the door. Avaforcefully opened the door, ignoring his rage, sprang out and stretched her hand to halt the cab. Jeorge Milton¡¯s fist hit the driving wheel angrily, cursing. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to get a taxi here!¡± he said, stepping out of the car to catch up with her. Avafought, but was quickly dragged into his grip. ¡°I¡¯ll take you there, to the hospital, okay? ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Avaceased resisting. He groaned and drew her to the car¡¯s side. He helped her buckle her seatbelt, fearful she¡¯d make a scene again¡­ They stopped talking along the way. Jeorge Milton stared at her nervously approaching the hospital as they arrived. She went back to Goden Bran¡¯s grandmother. Don¡¯t weep, Sweetheart, granny loves tough. When Ava came at the hospital, she observed the doctor shaking his head at Goden Bran, indicating his grandmother couldn¡¯t survive much longer. ¡°Sorry, Mr. Smith, we did our best to save her but we failed. If you have anything to say to her, please say it now.¡± Ava was at the ward¡¯s door. This made her heart skip a beat. Bean-sized tears fell from her eyes. Ava reminisced and held back tears. In the end, she couldn¡¯t¡­ She walked forward, sobbing and clutching her grandmother¡¯s hand. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± She wanted tofort him but couldn¡¯t. Compared to their anguish, Grandma was gentler, reaching out to Goden Bran. Goden Bran took her hand and held it. ¡°Ava, Grandma certainly can¡¯t wait to watch you two enjoy a nice life. Do you remember what you promised Grandmast time?¡± ¡°I recall.¡± She nodded, her eyes welling. Her voice was barely inaudible. But she kept speaking, as though scared of losing a second. ¡°In the future¡­¡±¡­ You¡­ Forgive him and give him a chance for your grandmother¡¯s sake. ¡± ¡°Grandmother, don¡¯t speak anymore,¡±Ava wailed, holding her granny¡¯s hand hard. ¡± I swear.¡± Chapter 45 ¡°Sweetheart, what are you sobbing for?¡± ¡°Grandmother likes your smile.¡± After then, the elderlydy¡¯s hand weakened and she closed her eyes. ¡°Grandmother, grandmother, wake up!¡±Ava yelled as she peered at her granny.` ¡°Grandma¡­¡± No matter how loud she yelled, her grandma remained still. Goden Bran had been repressing his feelings, but when he saw her sad face, he couldn¡¯t help but cry. ¡°Ava¡­¡± he said. ¡°Grandmother already¡­¡± he muttered hoarsely. ¡°Don¡¯t be like this,¡± he eventually murmured after a lengthy quiet. ¡°We must ept reality.¡± When she heard his saids, she sobbed. She tried to hide her tears by covering her lips, but she couldn¡¯t. Fearful of turning back and seeing her grandma¡¯s cheerful smile, fearful of seeing her pale face. She felt death was far away, but she had no idea how much grief it would bring her if it did happen. Grandmother¡¯s kind smile remained in her mind. But suddenly it was all a distant memory. Ava couldn¡¯t control her emotions or her tears. He couldn¡¯t help but hold her and let her weep in his arms as she wailed quietly. That night, Ava did not return to her t, but instead apanied Goden Bran back to his vige to clean up Grandma¡¯s stuff. The sky was ck and it was about four a. m. Jeorge Milton leaned against the car¡¯s door, smoking. He waited all night below. He always wondered whether she¡¯d miss him if she returned. So I didn¡¯t go, I stayed¡­ Waiting¡­ The sky brightened. He smirked. He got in his car, started the motor, and prepared to depart only when the sky turned bright and clear. ¡°Grandma¡¯s funeral is about time,¡±Ava said, as Goden Bran prepared a big tribute for her. ¡°Ava! ¡°My grandma liked you the best when she was alive,¡± he said, his voice soft. How could you miss the funeral? ¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s only for one more day,¡± he said, seeing she didn¡¯t respond. ¡°Grandma would be pleased.¡± Ava¡¯s eyes flushed, her heart warmed, and her tears fell . ¡°All right,¡± she said, wiping away her tears. He drew his hand away and walked away. Love swelled in Goden Bran¡¯s heart as he nced at her exhausted and mournful back. His phone vibrated, and he asked his assistant, ¡°How is it? Boss , I have contacted the London newspaper and a few periodicals. The rumor about you and the corporation will be retracted if Ava Lins and the others attend the elderlydy¡¯s burial tomorrow.¡± ¡°I told them. ¡°Just a few images.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After hanging up, he went upstairs and spotted his grandmother sitting on her bed, looking nkly at herst picture. He wiped away his tears with his palm. His heart ached at that point. ¡°I came to check if grandmother had anything more,¡±Ava replied, her back to him, as he entered. ¡°When I was little, I usually lived with Grandma,¡±Goden Bran said, taking the photo book from her hands. Grandma took care of me when my father was abroad.¡± ¡°Grandma and Mom¡¯s rtionship was terrible. ¡°Grandma feels my mum couldn¡¯t move away from my dad¡¯s death.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never understood why Grandmother didn¡¯t like my mother but adored you.¡± Do you remember the first time I took you to Grandmother? Thedy who would take care of me said you were wonderful for marriage, family, and everything.¡± He turned to look at Ava and grasped her hands. She was startled by his actions and tried to retreat, but he gripped her hands so tightly that she couldn¡¯t go. He gazed at her, and she could only look at him. Ava didn¡¯t dare to stare at him for long since his gaze was so serious and intense. ¡°Ava, I¡¯ve finally realized how vital you are to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so ustomed to your presence that I can¡¯t seem to find my way around without you. Do you understand how I feel?¡± Ava¡¯s heart didn¡¯t race when she heard this ostensibly confession; instead, she grew flustered. She took her hand away from her face and averted her gaze. What did he mean? He drew her securely into his arms from behind just as she was going to stand up and leave. His strong arms were crossed in front of her chest, embracing her fiercely. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she fought as her heart beat fled her chest in an instant.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner. ¡°Ava¡­¡± He encircled her in a tight grip, denying her the opportunity to resist. ¡°Ava, you¡¯ve also told Grandma that you¡¯ll give me one more opportunity,¡± he said softly near to her ear. ¡°Are you able to remain at my side?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t go over to Jeorge Milton¡¯s side, okay?¡± Ava¡¯s pulse raced when she heard a quiet voice with traces of begging and profound devotion. It wasn¡¯t that she hadn¡¯t considered such a day before. She had never expected it to happen at this moment, so suddenly, so unexpectedly, with no warning. ¡°I¡­¡± She hesitated because she couldn¡¯t see what he was thinking or why he would say such things out of nowhere. Ava was very perplexed. She yanked his hand away from her face, not daring to look at him. ¡°At this time, I don¡¯t want to discuss it.¡± She walked away without looking back afterpleting her sentence. On the contrary. The manager was knocking on the Vice Chairman¡¯s office door inside the Ciqi Group Building. He pushed the door open and stepped in after hearing a sluggish ¡®Come in.¡¯ Jeorge Milton¡¯s legs were crossed, leisurely reclining on the chair, his head elevated, the bright sunshine to beam on his face; the sunlight was particrly harsh. ¡°Has Ava Lins arrived to work yet?¡± he said, with half-closed eyelids and a cold tone. When the manager heard this, he dropped he said, ¡°She¡¯s not here yet.¡± ¡°Then call her or I¡¯ll fire her!¡±Jeorge Milton grumbled. He had been going downstairs to her house every day for the past few days, but no one was there. Even a fool might have guessed that she was dating Goden Bran! He was well aware that she must be upset at this moment, but all he wanted to do was dismantle Goden Bran. When the manager realized what had happened, he dropped his head even lower. ¡°The connection was made.¡± Chapter 46 ¡°What did she say?¡±Jeorge Milton asked, looking at him. ¡°She said¡­¡±, she said. The manager didn¡¯t dare to continue after seeing Jeorge Milton¡¯s glum expression. Jeorge Milton screamed, ¡°Speak up! ¡°She said¡­ she would submit her resignation letter as soon as possible. ¡± Jeorge Milton could almost envision her determined look as she said those words. He was even more pessimistic¡­ The manager anticipated the crown prince to throw a rage, but he was surprised to hear a quiet, weak voice say, ¡°Go out.¡± Ava was having a bath in the bathroom when her phone rang as the sky darkened. It was simply a sound, and Goden Bran had already shut it off. Ava seemed to hear her phone ring for a brief minute, but she didn¡¯t hear it even after closely listening. Goden Bran grabbed her phone and, unable to contain himself any longer, essed the caller ID to see messages. He discovered that Jeorge Milton had mailed them all. He clutched the phone so firmly that he almost erased all of the information on it. The phone¡¯s screen suddenly lighted up. Make a statement¡­ I¡¯ll be waiting for you downstairs if he opens it. His slim fingers did not hesitate to erase as his eyes clouded and his heart felt suffocated¡­ He burst outughing; they were now at his grandmother¡¯s old home, where he, Jeorge Milton, had been unable to find his¡­ When Ava emerged from the toilet and found Goden Bran in her room, she was a bit nervous because of what he had said earlier in the day. She hesitated for a long time by the bathroom door before forcing herself to walk over and ask, ¡°Is there anything you require? Goden Bran instantly treasured the memory of that Ava Lins earlier, seeing that she was no longer the same person who made the initiative to approach him. She had never concealed her affections for him, at least not at that time. When he went home, he always saw her grin, heard her attempting toe up with a conversation, and asked what he had done that day. In the face of his indifference, she would sometimes inquire as to what he had eaten in the afternoon, but he had nothing to reply. He didn¡¯t see her sadness at the moment; he merely thought she was bored to the point where she wanted to ask these questions because it was simply too dismal. By marrying her, he expressed his desire to live a simple and happy life. He couldn¡¯t do it, but he¡¯d feel much better after losing her after a day of sharing the same bed with someone else and feeling bored. He wasn¡¯t calm, and he wasn¡¯t ustomed to her without being at his side. Perhaps the events of thest two years had left an indelible mark on Goden Bran¡¯s heart. He could have liked her, at least while she was near him. Why don¡¯t you stick by my side? He couldn¡¯t stand being around other guys, and he didn¡¯t want to be sidetracked by romantic affairs. Jeorge Milton would never let him have it as long as he loved it! Anyone could have it, but not him, Jeorge Milton! Keeping her at his side could be the best option. As Goden Bran contemted this, Ava nervously shuffled her feet and proceeded to the other side, consciously maintaining a safe distance from him and avoiding him. He felt bitterness in his heart as he realized it. ¡°Do you still despise me? ¡°Or are you hesitant to even give me a chance? Ava was worried he would say these things, but he did, and she had no option but to confront him and push herself to look at him calmly ¡°I¡¯m not sure why you¡¯re now saying these things to me. Goden Bran, you had a kid with thatdy, and yet you¡¯re telling me all of this here; do you really believe that cheating is a thrilling and enjoyable experience? Ava instantly realized that her greatest concern was the kid in that woman¡¯s tummy when she said this. She groaned and averted her gaze ¡°Is she pregnant with your kid, if I¡¯m not mistaken? Will you abandon it? Do you want me to act as a mistress for you? ¡± ¡°Do you think you¡¯re a little too greedy? Have you considered how I feel? ¡± ¡°No, children, you are not a mistress, I assure you.¡±Goden Bran said as he went closer and took her shoulder in his hands. Ava hesitated. It¡¯s hard to believe, isn¡¯t it? Had he now realized her value and realized how to adore her, as she had dreamed for so long? What went wrong? She wasn¡¯t as joyful as she had expected. But why did she feel confused and at a loss when he really understood remorse and pity? She had no idea who he was or what his life was like. She got the distinct impression that she hadn¡¯t truly known him in the previous two years at that point. Ava mumbled helplessly, ¡°What sort of a guy are you, Goden Bran?¡± As he stared at the bewilderment and doubt in her eyes, his heart stopped, and he hesitated for a second. But then he remembered the texts on her phone¡­ He couldn¡¯t restrain himself when he saw she was going to go with Jeorge Milton, and he was terrified that her innocent eyes would see right through his heart, and that her hug, stare, and eyes would make him pause¡­ ¡°Give me a chance, Ava. I¡¯ll be waiting for your response.¡± As shey on his chest, Ava¡¯s heart was in shambles. The sky was ck and gloomy, with just a sliver of moonlight visible. It started to rain fiercely in the second part of the night. Only when the bean-sized raindropsnded on Jeorge Milton¡¯s torso did he realize how to go back to the car. When George checked his phone, there was no sign of her, either in the form of a message or a caller ID.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. Slowly¡­ Slowly¡­ The heart plummeted. Unprecedented cmity. It was the first time someone hadpletely ignored him. He had thought to himself before he arrived, ¡°As long as shees!¡± Chapter 47 He could understand her sentiments as long as she came, and he could see that she had no option but to remain with Goden Bran. Even if it was only a quick note. She did not only fail to show, but she also failed to deliver a message. Goden gripped the steering wheel tightly as rain began to pour on the ss. The next day. As her grandma¡¯s daughter-inw, Ava dressed in mourning for her at the burial. Goden Bran¡¯s mother was also there, and she had no option but to confront Goden Bran, no matter how reluctant she was to attend. When she heard the neer¡¯s words of constion, Ava could only bow slightly and drop her head from beginning to end, her eyes reddening as she realized her grandma was already far away from her. Next to her was Goden Bran¡¯s mother, who was pretending to weep. Could it be that she couldn¡¯t stand seeing the elderly woman go? She felt sorry for her grandmother, who had previously encouraged her not to dispute with her mother-inw because she wanted to understand her mother-in-painw¡¯s at losing her husband so young¡­ Grandmother had always been concerned about others, but only a few of them were actually true in their feelings for her, and even the tears shed during the burial had to be pushed out. She wasn¡¯t sure whether she was dizzy because she bowed too much, but her vision turned dark and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Goden Bran, who was standing alongside her, arrived just in time to help her; he firmly held her shoulders and said, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m alright,¡±Ava said with a shake of her head. ¡°Let me assist you in getting some rest in the rear.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no necessity.¡± Ava declined, saying that she couldn¡¯t leave in the middle. ¡°. I¡¯m just a bit dizzy.¡± She softly took his hand away from her face and turned away from him. After the funeral, Ava nced at her grandmother¡¯s ck-and-white portrait, tears welling up in her eyes once again. She had the distinct impression that her grandma was still alive and well at her side. When someone sincerely loves you for your own benefit, you will automatically regard him like a family member¡­ She¡¯d never considered death before. I also believe that anything like this is far, far away from me¡­ She had been unable to heal for a brief time due to her grandmother¡¯s death. Goden Bran had stood at her side, unknowingly, and stretched his hand to her shoulder, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°You have a dreadful appearance. Return to your room and rx.¡± Ava gave him a quick look before lowering her eyes and allowing him to take her away. When they got in the car, she said, ¡°Take me back to my apartment.¡± ¡°Ava¡­¡±Goden Bran wanted to say as he stared at her. ¡°Can you help me rx? ¡°She didn¡¯t want to worry about anything else and just wanted to be alone. He wasn¡¯t ready to pass up such a chance, so he took her hand in his and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m afraid about you going back home like this.¡± Belli Tannu, she sounded genuine in her tone. Who could tell whether it was real or not? Ava couldn¡¯t tell what it was, so she just avoided it by pulling his hand away and frowning ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, Goden Bran. It¡¯s not something I¡¯m ustomed to.¡± Goden Bran¡¯s face was frozen. It¡¯s not something I¡¯m ustomed to. He felt a faint, wordless sense of remorse, and he opened his lips, trying to exin himself, but no words came out. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you back,¡± he could only murmur weakly in the end. Ava didn¡¯t say anything the whole trip, and when they got downstairs, she didn¡¯t even give Goden Bran a chance to say anything. She¡¯s no longer here¡­ For a long time, though, he was distracted by her unusually distant ¡®thank you.¡¯ He couldn¡¯t recall when she used to say thank you to him with a charming smile and the words, ¡°Please don¡¯t thank me in the future. Only strangers would speak these two words.¡± But was he suddenly a stranger in her heart? People must constantly continue ahead, no matter how depressed they are. Ava returned to work the following day, having already written her resignation lette. He¡¯d just stepped into the business elevator and entered the floor code. The elevator door abruptly opened as it was slowly closing. Then a person she hadn¡¯t seen in a few days appeared in her view. For a brief while, Ava Lins was stumped as to how to respond to Jeorge Milton.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Everyone in the firm would bow and nod to George whenever they saw him, and Ava could only do the same to this vice-president. She was standing very near to the elevator wall, and he was standing face to face with her, one of his hands unwittingly holding the elevator wall, thus trapping her within his reach. The two were so close in distance¡­ Furthermore, there were arge number of men present. He had to ce his hand behind her since they didn¡¯t seem to connect, and they seemed to be overloaded. Ava, on the other hand, knew that he had always taken the independent elevator, and that for the first time, he was squeezing the elevator with everyone, no employee would dare to get close to him? She couldn¡¯t push him away in front of so many people, so she could only turn her body to the side and avoid looking at him, pretending to be calm. In the elevator, there were less and fewer people¡­ Unexpectedly, his other arm took a step forward and stopped her, wrapping her around his arm. Only one or two people remained in the elevator, and seeing the circumstances, they could only go out flustered, no matter how much they wanted to witness a fantastic show. The elevator door shut . They were the only ones in the cramped room¡­ Ava had no option but to stare at him with an angry nce, her cheeks reddened; she tried to shove his hand away, but it was as heavy as stone, and she couldn¡¯t¡­ ¡°CEO Milton, don¡¯t behave like this¡­¡± she said, acting as if she were an employee and he was a supervisor, which irritated him. ¡°Milton, you¡¯re addressing me as CEO? Chapter 48 ¡°¡®Coldly,¡¯ he murmured. ¡°Call for another one,¡± he muttered in her ear, his cool and attractive voice ringing in her ears with a hint of sullenness. Despite the fact that he had been waiting for her for days, she acted in a submissive and dominant manner that he was unfamiliar with. Jeorge Milton lowered his body even further; and he pushed her back against the elevator wall, making Ava Lins feel suffocated by his invasive re. She was scared of being seen by her coworkers as the elevator on the 13th level was about to open, so she could only murmur, ¡°Please don¡¯t act like this.¡± ¡°This is the firm.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not good if others see it, Jeorge Milton, let go of me,¡±Ava said, feeling it was a waste of words to speak to someone like him who didn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s thoughts. The door of the elevator was ready to open¡­ Jeorge Milton¡¯s hand pushed on the button to shut the door at that point, then pressed on the button on the top level. She wanted to flee when he released her hand¡­ His response was unexpectedly quicker than hers: he seized her hand, yanked her back, and smashed against the elevator wall. As the elevator wall mmed into Ava¡¯s back, she scowled slightly. His grip on her waist tightened even further, making it hard for her to go¡­ When their gazes met, he exuded an overpowering heat, while she exuded a feeling of stubbornness and helplessness. As they watched the elevator travel up and down, no one ventured to enter. Ava was lost in contemtion; she must have been the focus of attention by now, and it was impossible to predict how intense the scenario would be given everyone¡¯s vivid imagination. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you get back to me after I sent you a message? Why didn¡¯t you pick up the phone and call me?! ¡± However, as soon as he opened his lips, all of his rage dissipated, and he seemed to be whining about why she didn¡¯t pick up the phone. He groaned and drew her into his hug, ¡°Do you realize how much I¡¯ll miss you, Ava?¡± ¡°I simply want to see you, hear your voice, no matter how enraged you are, no matter how obscene yourments are, I just want to see you.¡± He whispered quietly, and the power of his deep voice seemed to vanish. She was in a shock. However, she had no option but to reject it, and ripples emerged in her previously calm heart at hearing these soothing words. Sweet words are addicting and poisonous¡­ Although the woman shouted that she didn¡¯t believe him, her ears did. She was taken aback; why is it that this rtionship begins with taking advantage of benefits? She let him draw her inside his office when the elevator reached the level of his office. The receptionist was astonished to find the two of them holding hands as she approached the office door; she gazed nkly for a long time without saying anything, but before she could respond, she heard Jeorge Milton said, ¡°Don¡¯t allow anybody else in.¡± The secretary hastily said, ¡°Yes!¡± The secretary¡¯s expression revealed that he was crushed to the core when he saw that his beloved Vice President had brought Ava Lins in. He ced her against the office door, the hot air kissing her neck and sending a tingling current through her sensitive body. She¡¯d never had such need and yearning before¡­ Her heart was racing as his hot and moist kiss fell inch by inch on her neck, causing her to raise her head. He stayed close to her, with no space between them; she could immediately sense his burning hunger, his response to her¡­ Jeorge Milton became aware that his heart was racing at an rming rate. ¡°Ava, do you realize how captivating you are¡­¡± said a deep and mesmerizing voice next her ear, gently nipping her earlobe. She moved her head away and dodged his kiss just as she was going to get into a trance and his lips were about to meet hers. Her breathing was a bit off, and her heart was racing. ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, I¡­¡±Ava pushed him and murmured.¡± But she couldn¡¯t do anything about it. She felt torn and didn¡¯t dare to look at him, so she bowed her head. ¡°Please don¡¯t push me, okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not ready at this moment.¡± She had never considered kissing a man with whom she had no previous rtionship. She did not love this guy, yet she was unable to stop him from professing his love and devotion. Ava¡¯s heart was entwined, but her principles were in jeopardy, torturing her and making her unable to face herself or Jeorge Milton¡­ He peered down at her, his gaze drawn to the struggle on her face. At that time, his heart felt weak. ¡°Sweetheart, why are you thinking so much?¡± he said, gently brushing away the tears from the corner of her eyes. He yanked her shirt off her shoulders and lowered her skirt to her thighs. Jeorge Milton grinned cruelly as he helped her straighten up her clothing. His dark eyes were filled with resentment, and had he genuinely learnt to suffer and wait again and again since then? Ava was terrified of his being too emotional and kind, so she didn¡¯t remain with him for more than a second. At the absolute least, she¡¯d get the impression that a guy like him didn¡¯t have a single genuine thing to say. But she couldn¡¯t tell any longer. ¡°I¡¯m going out,¡±Ava said quietly as she bowed her head. She didn¡¯t say anything since she didn¡¯t think he was going to stop her. She turned around and reached for the doorknob, intending to open it. ¡°Ava¡­¡± Ava hesitated, quietly anticipating what he would say next as he called out to her.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. For a long time, he didn¡¯t say anything, and Ava couldn¡¯t help but turn around and gaze at him. ¡°It¡¯s alright, go down. I¡¯ll send you back after work,¡± he finally said. Av akept her eyes downcast and remained silent. She swiftly opened the door and walked away, vanishing in front of his eyes. Ava Lins could only pretend she didn¡¯t know what was going on since there were constantly people talking at her side. She wasn¡¯t at her seat when Jeorge Milton arrived at the Design Department. Ava was strolling alone along the street when she saw the gazes of the passing passersby turn towards her. Chapter 49 She finally realized why someone was staring at her with a strange face after passing the newsstand and noticing the newspaper on top. The picture of her and Goden Bran at the burial had been released, it came out¡­ ¡°Give me a newspaper, boss,¡± she said. She epted the money and handed it over to the proprietor of the newspaper. She then proceeded to read the newspaper¡¯s contents. Her grasp on the newspaper became even tighter. Her heart became colder the more she read. Goden Bran¡¯spany¡¯s stocks copsed. His image was quickly restored when the press reported that he and his wife were filial piety towards their seniors. She gave a sour grin. Her heart was heavy with grief. The photographs of them were excellent. Ava Lins gazed at the newspaper¡¯s Goden Bran as if he didn¡¯t recognize him. How might he use his grandmother¡¯s funeral to his advantage? She had been perplexed as to why he would say such things. She¡¯d been looking for an answer for a long time, and she¡¯d finally found one. He forced her to go since he didn¡¯t want her¡­ He¡¯d merely utter a few soothing words when he wanted her, and she¡¯d willingly fall into his trap. Her lips curved up into a sour grin. Her phone rang at this precise time. She pulled it out and discovered that it was Goden Bran. She snapped the phone and switched it off without pausing to think about it. Ava Lins came to the university area particrly to sit on the yground and watch the males run and sweat on the field. Memories were like pictures that were repeated one after the other. Goden Bran was not a student at Britain University, but he did have his own firm at the time, thus he might be considered a sessful guy with some aplishments. She had previously mistaken his coldness and indifference for calm and stable, and as a result, she had fallen madly in love with this guy ¡­ Goden Bran then moved overseas, and she never heard from him again. As she had desired, she married Goden Bran. Two years wasn¡¯t a long or short time, but she still couldn¡¯t look beyond the guy who had once been her pillow. His scheming, not his serenity, was the source of his profundity. A woman¡¯s heart was believed to be like the bottom of the sea, whereas a man¡¯s heart was also like that¡­ Until someone took a seat next to her¡­ Avacocked her head, astonished, at Jeorge Milton, who stood next her. How did he be here? ¡°You¡¯re going to university here?¡±Jeorge Milton asked, his lips curving into a smile as he ignored her surprise. ¡°Did that have anything to do with the fact that I used to sit here and watchds y?¡± Ava dropped her gaze and turned away from him. ¡°Why are you here?¡± she questioned instead. ¡°Do you believe in fate?¡± he said, taking Ava¡¯s hand in his and holding it. Ava stared at him calmly, and because he didn¡¯t say anything, she didn¡¯t press the issue any more. He abruptly stood up. ¡°Come, show me your school, and let me see what type of atmosphere mydy was reared in.¡± ¡°Yes, we must appreciate the instructors here; we must thank them for their excellent instruction.¡± She couldn¡¯t help but giggle. The mncholy atmosphere appeared to have evaporated somewhat. ¡°Stand up.¡± He yanked her to her feet as if he really wanted to express his gratitude to her instructor. ¡°Stop ying around,¡±Ava said weakly. ¡°How is this causing amotion? Let¡¯s go, take me to where you used to go to ss.¡± He grabbed her hand in his and guided her down the flight of stairs. ¡°Hey, Jeorge Milton!¡±Ava had no option but to follow in his footsteps and yell. Isn¡¯t it true that he wouldn¡¯t take her to thank her teacher? She had a strong suspicion that he was capable of such a thing. Jeorge Milton dragged her inside the ssroom. The optional course ¡°Physiology and Health of Women¡± was held in a big ssroom on the first level. ¡°Hey, they¡¯re in ss right now,¡±Avasaid hastily as he drew her in via the back entrance. ¡°Don¡¯t go in and start a fight.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t a problem; we¡¯re also here to listen to the lecture.¡± He drew her in via the back door after saying that. The students in the back row gave them strange looks. They sat in thest row¡¯s corner, and the entire ssroom was packed with females. Jeorge Milton¡¯s arrival drew a lot of attention. Even more embarrassing was the fact that the professor on the tform was presently talking on women, advising those university students on self-love and theposition of women¡¯s reproduction with a solemn expression on his face. She¡¯d always been a shy person. Her cheeks grew ufortably red as she listened to the lesson. When she was in college, she had taken a simr ss. She had never imagined herself taking a lesson like this with a male. ¡°Everyone understands that pregnancy is the essence of life¡­ Does anybody know what it means when we females ovte?¡± The entire audience fell silent as soon as the open-minded teacher said this.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be ashamed of; this is in sense,¡± the instructor added. ¡°If a female wants toprehend this, she must be ountable for her own body.¡± Jeorge Milton asked Ava in a hushed voice, ¡°When is it?¡±Ava was already flushing. ¡°What?¡± She didn¡¯t sure what to say, but she did see him smiling mischievously again. ¡°Can you tell me when you ovte?¡± Ava¡¯s cheeks turned crimson like a boiled shrimp as she heard this. Her neck, too, had been stained a subtle shade of crimson. Jeorge Milton, who was in a good mood,ughed as she stared at him. ¡°Do you want me to assist you settle the score another day?¡± he said quietly as he moved in close to her ear. Ava felt as if all the bones in her body were going to soften when a deep, rich, andpelling voice sounded out near her ear. Chapter 50 ¡°Jeorge Milton, are you done yet?¡± she asked, turning her body as if struck by lightning and staring at him with starry eyes. Her pulse grew even more erratic as she saw his slight grin. The instructor on the podium appeared to notice the two of them at this point. ¡°Those two kids in the back row, I don¡¯t believe I¡¯ve seen them before. Which ss are they from?¡± he said as he put on his sses and lifted his head to look at them. He got to his feet and moved towards them. Just as her instructor was going to step over, Ava tightened up, and Jeorge Milton grabbed her and raced out the back door. The two of them fled at a breakneck pace, as though terrified that their instructor would catch up. They only came to a halt when they came to a tree-lined walk and remembered the image from earlier. The corners of their lips couldn¡¯t help but raise, but the more they considered it, the more ridiculous it seemed¡­ The evening light shone brightly on Ava¡¯s face, cutting through the shadows of the trees. A few withered leaves floated down and tenderlynded on her shoulders as the chilly wind blew. That woman had a lovely grin on her face, which made his pulse race even faster. He drew her in and kissed her with one hand on her face, unable to contain hisughter¡­ He didn¡¯t give her a chance to evade, and he didn¡¯t let her think. His kiss was so powerful that itpletely obscured her¡­ ¡°Ava¡­¡± He spoke softly, his eyes lovingly. ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°Ava¡­¡± He came to a halt and murmured the name he¡¯d given her. He then moaned as he drew her into his arms. ¡°I simply wanted to give you a call.¡± Ava felt warmth being warmly hugged by his arms at that very moment. It¡¯ste at night. The car came to a halt in front of the apartmentplex. He was ready to depart when he realized he couldn¡¯t let go of her hand. ¡°When can you let me go?¡± he said quietly. In fact, his tone conveyed a feeling of exasperation and powerlessness. It seemed as if it was an irrational wish that would nevere true. She handled Goden Bran the same way¡­ ¡°When will you learn to love me?¡± he asked himself often. That breath was the same, and it hit her in the bottom of her heart. She didn¡¯t say anything as she stared at him. Jeorge Milton didn¡¯t ask any more questions, as if he already knew she wouldn¡¯t respond. ¡°Go up and rx early,¡± he replied, a faint grin on his face. After saying that, he leaned in and kissed her on the forehead. This incident, in Goden Bran¡¯s opinion, was like a thorn piercing his body and giving him misery. His eyes clouded with rage as he stood on the second level, seeing this scenario. Ava came into the hallway after Jeorge Milton¡¯s car had departed, and as she climbed up the stairs, she saw Goden Bran waiting at the door. She didn¡¯t want to see him again, no matter how much she disliked him. The contents of the article, as well as what he had said, struck her as phony. How could he have uttered such things to her if it hadn¡¯t been for an issue with hispany¡¯s stock? He must have felt she was a fool for listening to sweet talk and staying with him so the media would know how nice his family was and how lovely he was. Ava approached with a nk look, preparing to open the door and enter the home as if she hadn¡¯t seen anybody else. ¡°Did you go anywhere with him?¡± ¡°You were with him this afternoon when you didn¡¯t answer my phone?¡± ¡°Ava Lins, didn¡¯t I warn you not to be with him?¡± He grabbed her hand so hard it seemed like he was about to break her bones. She scowled in agony. ¡°Let go, you¡¯re hurting me,¡± she replied calmly since she didn¡¯t have the energy to protest. Goden Bran had lost all trust in being alienated from his heart after hearing her calm tone. When Ava was ready to enter the home, he snatched his hand away. ¡°Ava Lins!¡± She came to a halt and refused to lift her eyes to look at him. ¡°Is anything wrong?¡± she asked coldly. ¡°I¡­¡± His queries were strangled in his throat as a result of her icy demeanor; he opened and closed his lips but couldn¡¯t utter anything. As he was ready to see her enter the room, her demeanor toward him became colder and colder, whilst her demeanor toward Jeorge Milton became the pr opposite. ¡°Ava, what did you think of what I told youst time?¡± he hastily said. When Ava heard this, the corner of her lips raised into a bitter grin, which made Goden Bran¡¯s pulse race. He sat in quiet, waiting for a response. Her clear eyes were filled with tears of disappointment as she turned to face him, her voice soft but full of despair. ¡°Are you still talking to me about the events of that day?¡± ¡°Goden Bran, examine your conscience and ask yourself: Are you really sincere?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted me to remain at the funeral because you had other ns?¡± ¡°When you¡¯re upset with me, you¡¯d push me off and say something lovely to entice me when you need me.¡± ¡± What does it mean to you that I exist in your life? ¡± Despite the fact that she wanted to scream, she kept her cool.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. She did not confront him furiously, but instead talked sweetly of her sadness and grief. He rushed up and held her fiercely from behind as he saw she was ready to turn around and leave. ¡°Believe me, I have my own reasons for doing all of this,¡± he continued, his arms crossed in front of her chest, his voice full of shame and helplessness. ¡°Ava, if it was merely exploiting you people, I wouldn¡¯t need to stand here today.¡± ¡°I confess that I considered using you to preserve the firm, but there are other options for resolving thepany¡¯s issue; I did this to keep you at my side; after all, what else can I say to keep you here except Grandma?¡± Chapter 51 ¡°¡±I assure you, I will surely repay you for the anguish you¡¯ve felt, as long as you trust in me and give me time,¡±C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Tears quietly trickled from the corners of her eyes, and she recalled what he had said when they were married. ¡°Do you remember when we originally agreed to marry? ¡°That¡¯s all you can do; swear to me that I¡¯ll never regret marrying you, so that no matter how cold you be to meter on, those words will warm my heart.¡± ¡°However, did you?¡± She took a deep breath, which helped to relieve the anguish in her chest, and then sobbed. ¡°Does any of this have any relevance now that we¡¯re divorced?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re still thinking about your former buddy, Goden Bran, don¡¯t bother me again.¡± She took his hand in hers, walked inside the room, and shut the door in his face. ¡°If I had the right to choose from the beginning, Ava, I would be willing to live a quiet married life with you,¡±Goden Bran said, his dark eyes filled with despair and hatred. Regrettably, he had never had the freedom to chose since he was a child. He wasn¡¯t meant to live a simple existence. Too many things would happen to force him to choose to give up every time he wished to live a life like this¡­ It waste at night. ¡°You drank too much.¡± He shook the wine in the cup and drank it all in one swallow with a puzzled expression on his face. He sat peacefully behind Goden Bran all the way until he passed out drunk on the bar counter. Feru then closed the ount, put his arm over Goden Bran¡¯s shoulder, and helped him out of the pub, allowing him toy in the back of the vehicle. Feru jumped into his vehicle and started it right away. He had just pushed a number on his phone to contact Miss Swift when he heard Goden Bran¡¯s puzzled yell, ¡°Ava¡­¡± ¡°Ava¡­¡± Feru¡¯s motions came to a halt as he studied Goden Bran with a puzzled face. He had no choice but to return him to his old vi. Feru sat on the edge of the bed after taking care of everything and said, ¡°I will help you take care of everything,¡± as he peered at Goden Bran with his dark eyes. He rose up and walked away after finishing his sentence. Feru got out his phone, dialed a number, and put the phone to his ear as he closed the door: ¡°Hey, do something for me.¡± He proceeded down the stairwell, his discussion bing more brief¡­ Goden Bran¡¯s phone continued blinking in his suit pocket, indicating that he had already missed 10 calls. No one answered the phone when Belli Tannu phoned all night. She moved her feet back and forth. She got more angry as her questions went unanswered. She came to a halt and wondered aloud whether it was with Ava Lins. Goden Bran, on the other hand, had used his grandmother as an excuse. She was going to inquire what had urred after reading the contents of the article, but no one replied. She clenched her teeth in rage as she imagined Ava Lins taking her stuff away once again. Belli Tannu bit her bottom lip, anticipating Goden Bran¡¯s arrival at Ava Lins¡¯ house, and phoned Ava Lins¡¯ number with trepidation. She waited for a long time and received no response. It seemed like her heart was being wed by a cat as she listened to the frigid echoes. She couldn¡¯t seem to rx. Her imagination couldn¡¯t stop reying the moment they were in together¡­ Belli Tannu became more concerned as Ava refused to pick up the phone. She could only bring the Package out to Ava¡¯s apartment building and pound on the doorbell with all her power before knocking. She heard footsteps from inside after a long time. Belli Tannu grew outraged when she suspected Goden Bran was inside, and if Ava Lins was really in love with Goden Bran, she would not let her leave. Finally, the door slid open. Belli Tannu was approached by Ava, who was dressed in pajamas and had a set of sleepy eyes. ¡°Belli Tannu?¡± she asked, her cheeks flushed with surprise. Phoeb, the force¡¯s hero, pushed against the door with all her power, and Belli Tannu pushed her away with all her might. She rushed in and immediately went to her bedroom. She rummaged around the house and went to the restroom in search of someone. She didn¡¯t stop searching until she was certain she hadn¡¯t found the person she was looking for. Avawas taken aback and followed Belli Tannu inside, stunned by her behavior. ¡°What are you doing, Belli Tannu?¡± Belli Tannu swung around, her gaze falling on Ava¡¯s expression of shock and mistrust. She stifled her feelings and forced a grin out of her mouth ¡°¡±I pondered¡­¡± She couldn¡¯te up with an answer, so she pondered for a while before remembering that awful girl, finally saying, ¡°I thought Ava was here.¡± ¡°What brings Aya to this location? ¡°Ava thought it was odd. Belli Tannu took a step closer and grabbed Ava¡¯s hand ¡°Isn¡¯t it true that that wretched chick adores you? She treated you like a sister, but when did she start treating me like one? She had no idea what had transpired a few days before, but when she got home, she instantly refused to attend to school, infuriating my father to the point of death. He has no idea where she has gone now.¡± ¡°Is Aya nowhere to be found? Ava¡¯s heart pounded as she heard this. Aya was a sweet young girl, the little child Director Martin had brought back, and she always had a smile on her face, a smile that made one¡¯s heart hurt. They all knew how much the young girl adored Omi Lins, and Ava even thought the two would get along. She had no idea that Aya had gone through so much at this time. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll be back in two days,¡±Belli Tannu shrugged. ¡°Didn¡¯t anybodye looking for you just now? What time did you return? ¡± Belli Tannu was more interested about whether Goden Bran had already visited this location. Ava also remembered Goden Bran¡¯s recent visit, but she didn¡¯t want to bring it up, so she smiled and shook her head, ¡°No, I¡¯ve already gone to sleep.¡± Belli Tannu was delighted to hear this and added, ¡°Since Aya isn¡¯t here, I¡¯ll return as well.¡± Chapter 52 ¡°It¡¯s toote for you to return home; maybe you could sleep at my house.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all right, it¡¯s all right. I drove myself here.¡± Don¡¯t worry, if I have any news on Aya, I¡¯ll call you and let you know. Ava led her to the door, stood there watching Belli Tannu go away, then shut the door behind her. She wanted to contact Omi Lins because she was thinking about Aya, but it was toote; she would ask him again tomorrow at the hospital. Belli Tannu came home dejectedly, leaving the Package on the ground and sitting like a puppet on the couch. When Goden Bran returned to his vi, she couldn¡¯t understand why he didn¡¯te to her apartment. She had even advised him to sell the property. She didn¡¯t want to live in anything she had ever lived in before, Ava Lins. She would handle it since he didn¡¯t contact the buyer, and she needed to sell the home quickly. With a sigh, she rose up and began walking towards the bed, but her lower abdomen began to pain. Her face became pale as she pushed her palm against her lower abdomen.. She had been experiencing simr symptoms for a few days, but the pain was not as severe as it was today. Her lips were rmingly white and her forehead was drenched with cold perspiration after a time. She copsed into the couch, curled up in anguish, and moaned loudly. The next evening. Before leaving the workce, Ava remained upte into the night, and after strolling for a time, she felt as if someone was following her¡­ She returned her gaze but saw nothing. Her heart was racing with fear. She couldn¡¯t help but elerate¡­ A truck suddenly pulled up beside her, and tworge guys leapt out, grabbed Ava¡¯s arm and covering her mouth with a towel. ¡°Help¡­¡±This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Her eyes were wide with horror as she fought as hard as she could. She wouldn¡¯t be able to match up to two guys in the end, even if she used all of her power. ¡°What exactly are you guys up to? The two tall guys were startled by the unexpected roar, and as they turned to look in the direction of the speaker, they saw Jeorge Milton standing three meters away, looking like he was ready to catch up. He forced her into the vehicle and mmed the door shut, then rushed away in the van. Jeorge Milton raced up, but he couldn¡¯t keep up, and all he could do was watch as she was whisked away. Her package shattered andnded on the ground. The materials were strewn over the room¡­ He had intended to dash over to pick her up, but he couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous tonight, so he hurried back, only to be a stepte. He didn¡¯t have time to think about it; he hastily gathered her belongings and raced back to the vehicle, where he jumped in, put on the gas, and pursued him down. When the vehicle pulled onto the highway, Ava Lins was already unconscious, and the guy inside swore when he noticed a car approaching. ¡°Damn¡­¡±¡±He can¡¯t stop himself from pursuing. Don¡¯t let him catch up to you.¡± The motorist elerated swiftly as he drove back and forth. Jeorge Milton¡¯s car followed closely behind, and every time he tried to overtake it, a private car would block his way, preventing him from passing it. Seeing the minivan in front of him ready to vanish, he got exceedingly nervous, and eagerly pushed his horn. But who knows, the private car in front of him looked truly to want to drive against him, the car was in front of him again, and even if he immediately put on the brakes, it would be toote to dodge the car this time. He mmed into the rear of the car with a loud thud. Fortunately, the incident was not significant, and Jeorge Milton¡¯s car safety index was excellent; he was unharmed, but the private car in front of him hade to aplete stop. Jeorge Milton attempted to restart the car, but the engine was unable to do so. ¡°SHIT!¡± He grumbled as he mmed his fist on the driving wheel. When he looked around and realized that the van had vanished without a trace, he became enraged and opened the car door and marched up to the private car in front of him, shouting, ¡°Do you even know how to operate a motor vehicle? Jeorge Milton¡¯s violent yell surprised the passenger in the little car, who was definitely a neer. Jeorge Milton then unlocked his vehicle door, grabbed the victim¡¯s cor, and dragged him down before the man could even respond. He jumped into the driver¡¯s seat, attempted to start the car, and then pursued her in the man¡¯s vehicle. ¡°Hey!¡± ¡°It¡¯s my car!¡± ¡°Hey!¡± The guy rushed a few steps after him, but all he could do was watch as his car vanished from view. The vehicle was nowhere to be seen on the roadway. Jeorge Milton searched the area with frustration, but couldn¡¯t discover anything. He could only seek patiently at this point, thinking to himself that the van¡¯s pace wasn¡¯t so quick, therefore it must be around¡­ There were tinymunities nearby, so it was probably better to stay hidden. He drove the car into a nearby vige, where there were no street lights and only a dim yellow street light that flickered on and off. He pulled over to the side of the road and asked, ¡°Have you seen a van pass by here, Grandpa? ¡± Because the elderly man¡¯s hearing was impaired, he leaned in close and said, ¡°What exactly did you say? I couldn¡¯t hear it .¡± ¡°The vehicle, ah, the van departed from that side,¡± the elderly guy finally understood. Jeorge Milton was suddenly given hope as the elderly guy gestured to the left side of the road. They instantly followed that way and gave pursue after three straight shouts of appreciation. The Heavens did not disappoint those who want to assist; three hourster, he was permitted to view the vehicle. The vehicle was parked in front of the run-down home, but it was clearly inside. Chapter 53 He attempted to contact the cops, but his phone was left in the vehicle. He had no choice but to enter and rescue her. Jeorge Milton felt he had already paid attention to the situation, but who would have guessed that someone was already waiting for him behind the door? He had juste in after opening the door. Fortunately, someone ran out from behind him, and because to his exceptional agility, he was able to avoid the assault from behind in time. What makes you think these people are a good match for him? In any event, he was a soldier before, and he had been one before. In a matter of seconds, two towering guys were knocked down¡­ The sound of a gunshot startled him, and his legs were in excruciating agony, and he quickly lost the power to kneel down on one leg. The wound was dripping with blood¡­ With his crimson eyes, he pushed down hard on the wound and looked at the gunman. The inebriated guy was so terrified when he saw so much blood he had lost control of his shotgun and seemed panicked. The handful of them were terrified; they had just taken the money to do something, but they had blown up the situation, contrary to their expectations. Jeorge Milton¡¯s whole leg was numb from the pain, so he pushed himself to rise, but the guy behind him did nothing except stand there and wave the rod on the ground towards him. Jeorge Milton¡¯s vision went dark and he couldn¡¯t feel anything as the rod struck the back of his skull. These guys grasped the gravity of the situation and phoned , saying, ¡°Have you arrived here? Something happened.¡± Ava Lins, who was trapped in her room, heard gunshots and sat up with , her eyes blinded and unable to see anything. Her heart pounded with an unspeakable fear¡­ The gunshot rang out¡­ She couldn¡¯t see anything since her hands and feet were bound, her eyes were blindfolded, and she couldn¡¯t see anything, even the danger that was approaching her step by step. Snakes were the most prevalent animal in thismunity, particrly in these barren homes. A little snake was quietly creeping in through the ss, and it was standing up close to her¡­ The door was mmed open with a thud at this precise instant. Goden Bran¡¯s heart clenched when he saw the image before him as he opened the door ¡°Take care!¡± He didn¡¯t have time to think about it, so he went forward to defend her behind him, which concerned him, so he stood up and bit Goden Bran¡¯s arm viciously. The tiny snake vanished without a trace after biting Goden Bran, leaving two little red marks on his arm. Pain was so excruciating that his bones had softened¡­ His sword-like eyebrows knotted together in anguish as he pushed down on the cut on his arm. Ava recognized Goden Bran¡¯s voice by the tone of his voice, and upon hearing his sad tone, she asked, ¡°What went wrong? What¡¯s the matter with you, Goden Bran? ¡± The venom had already prated his body, causing his aura to weaken a little. Pulling off the ck cloth covering her eyes, he barely managed a grin, ¡°I¡­¡±¡±It¡¯s OK.¡± Goden Bran had already been in aa for two days when he arrived at the hospital. When he awoke, he found Ava Lins lying on the sickbed, her hands clutching with a tired expression on her face. He was still a little weak, and his life would have been in danger if it hadn¡¯t been for the serum in the vige¡¯s medical room. He dropped his eyes slightly and gazed at her face. Even though he almost died, he believed it was worth it when he considered this. The strain had rendered her hands numb. He took action, but it startled Ava. She sat up and was pleasantly delighted to see that he had awoken; the doctor said that the snake was exceedingly deadly, and that even a god would not have been able to rescue him if she hadn¡¯t administered the serum in time. Ava¡¯s eyes flushed, and floods of grief welled up in her eyes as she recalled how he sacrificed his life to defend her, and how he was bitten by the snake. She may be the oneying here right now if it weren¡¯t for him. Ava clutched hER hand firmly and sobbed uncontrobly ¡°Do you have any apprehensions? Is it possible for me to assist you in making a doctor¡¯s appointment? ¡± Tears streamed down her cheeks as she spoke. She was terrified since he was unconscious. She had no idea what she would do if his aide, Feru, wasn¡¯t present. Goden Bran lifted his hand helplessly and wiped the tears from her cheeks, his parched lips asking in a raspy voice, ¡°What are you sobbing for, sweetheart?¡± Ava clutched hER palm, fearful that the assaults would force her to lose control of her tears. She was terrified that something bad would happen to him. ¡°Don¡¯t weep because crying hurts so much.¡± His throat was dry, and his voice was particrly hoarse. Ava saw his throat was dry and hastily wiped her tears away before pulling his hand down and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go pour some water for you.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± When Goden Bran saw how worried and busy she was for him, he felt his heart begin to warm up. Simultaneously, there was a sense of difort and remorse. He had to deceive her once again. He had no option but to go down now that things were resolved; he would be kinder to her in the future and make amends. Ava gave him some water, assisted him in sitting up, and, most importantly, fed him with a spoon. He sipped the water dutifully, content in the knowledge that he was being looked for by her. ¡°Ava,¡± he said as he grasped her wrist. She fixed her gaze on him ¡°Isn¡¯t it? ¡±Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Goden Bran grabbed her hand and yanked it back ¡°Is it still possible to go back ? She halted him in his tracks by covering his lips with her palm and saying, ¡°Don¡¯t speak nonsense.¡± ¡°I¡¯m ready to trust you this time,¡±Ava said as she closed her eyes and nestled into George¡¯s arms. She was ready to give him another opportunity, just as her grandma had said, and she was willing to do so¡­ Chapter 54 It¡¯s also possible to think of it as giving each other a chance. ¡°I vow to you,¡± he moaned as he pulled her tight. The door swung open unexpectedly. Feru stood at the entrance, a little ufortable after observing this situation, and softly coughed: ¡°I have some pressing problems to attend to, Boss . ¡± Ava was embarrassed and sat up ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to the doctor and inquire about your situation. You two are free to chat.¡± Feru stood at the door after Ava left, watching her walk away and closing it only when he was certain she had traveled far enough. ¡°Boss, Jeorge Milton¡¯s leg¡­¡± Feru walked up with a troubled face, Feru didn¡¯t dare to stare Goden Bran in the eyes because he lifted his eyes and looked him in the eyes. ¡°What¡¯s the status of his leg? ¡°I¡¯ve heard that if he¡¯s transported to the military hospital, he¡¯ll be handicapped.¡± Goden Bran realized the situation was dire when he heard it. The Miltons were difficult to irritate, particrly since his existing authority was inadequate to withstand them. ¡°This problem produced such arge mess,¡± he moaned, ¡°so you have to take care of those folks.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let them speak half a word,¡± Feru said with a nod. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take care of it first.¡± ¡°Wait!Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°On the subject of my injury, you¡­¡± Feru had a good understanding of what Goden Bran wanted to know and said, ¡°From the outside, I¡¯ll keep it a secret. Miss Tannu, Aunt, and even the media are unaware of the situation.¡± ¡°That¡¯s excellent. Go.¡± He was only able to rx after hearing this. Hospital for the military district. Jeorge Miltony on the bed, his face expressionless as he turned his head away from the middle-aged guy who sat erect next him. ¡°You are free to go. I¡¯m not interested in seeing you.¡± Jeorge Milton¡¯s father was a soldier. His thick eyebrows slightly furrowed as he heard his son¡¯s tone towards him, and he said, as if criticizing a subordinate, ¡°Is this the mindset you should adopt?!¡± Jeorge Milton¡¯s countenance darkened even more when he heard that ¡°You¡¯re not going to leave? ¡°I¡¯m leaving!¡± He stood up and lifted the cover as he spoke. He was in so much agony pulling at his leg that he came out in a cold sweat and was unable to get up. ¡°You can¡¯t move your legs!¡± Mrs. Ben, the servant at the side, said angrily as she rapidly assisted George in lying down. ¡°The doctor said the bullet had broken your bones; you can¡¯t move at all anymore, and you could even be handicapped!¡± Mrs. Ben eximed, her heart pounding as she scolded George for his negligence. When they got the news and raced to the hospital, they were terrified to see blood all over his left leg. Worse, the doctor refused to do the procedure until the injurer¡¯s familypleted the paperwork, dying the optimum moment to operate. When Jeorge Milton¡¯s grandpa arrived, he was furious to find his grandson in such a condition, and his face became green. If anything happened to him, the dean would most likely be unable to cope with the repercussions! Mrs. Ben worked for Milton Family since she was a child till she was fifty years old. Jeorge Milton had grown up in front of her eyes. She didn¡¯t have any children, so she loved and cared for George as if he were her own kid. ¡°How is it? Is it really painful? Should I get the doctor over to have a look?¡± she questioned, her heart in her throat as she gazed at his pained countenance. ¡°I¡¯m alright,¡±Jeorge Milton shook his head, despite the ache in his leg. ¡°Humph!¡± ¡°Which one of us, the man of Milton Family, was injured by a bullet? If not on the battlefield, he would have to aplish his mission?¡± Jonas Milton scoffed cruelly. ¡°Yet, you really managed to produce such confusion!¡± Mrs. Ben could no longer stand to listen and urged, ¡°Don¡¯t bring him up anymore; you two, father and son, are the same; it¡¯s been so long since we¡¯ve seen one other, and even when we did, you didn¡¯t say anything kind. Jeorge Milton ignored him by turning his head to the side. The only thing he could do was keep his mouth shut! Those close to him, in his opinion, would never be able to get along with him properly. From that year on, the so-called father acquired a new name in his heart: he referred to him as ¡®that guy¡¯ rather than ¡®father.¡¯ ¡°Okay, you¡¯re free to go now..¡± JJeorge Milton sat down on the bed once that guy had left. , ¡°Was there anybody else in the hospital when I was admitted?¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re the only one,¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a single woman? ¡°Jeorge Milton¡¯s heart was immediately gripped, and he couldn¡¯t remain quiet when he realized she may still be in danger. Mrs. Ben frowned suspiciously as she saw him so eager ¡°Is she ady? ¡°Nope.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you, George?¡± Jeorge Milton couldn¡¯t wait any longer for news, and when he learned that something had happened to her, he was ready to get up when Mrs. Ben interrupted him, ¡°Hello hey hey, what are you doing?¡± ¡°The doctor advised against acting rashly!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t remain in the hospital, Mrs. Ben; I have something I need to aplish.¡± ¡°No matter how vital it is, we can¡¯t do anything! If anything is wrong with your leg, I can¡¯t exin it to your grandpa, and are you prepared to be a cripple in the future?¡± Mrs. Ben would not let him get up, no matter how critical the situation was. Jeorge Milton¡¯s heart was pounding like a cat¡¯s ws, and he couldn¡¯t stop himself. He wanted to rush out of his bed just knowing that Ava Lins was still in the hands of the bunch of individuals. His legs, on the other hand, could not barely stand up. ¡°If you have any pressing concerns, please allow me to assist you,¡± Mrs. Ben replied, seeing how worried he was. ¡°Mrs. Ben, help me locate David,¡±Jeorge Milton began, since he didn¡¯t want Mrs. Ben to know about Ava Lins condition just now. Feru carefully maneuvered the vehicle into a rough spot on the mountain road, making sure no one was following behind him, before carrying the box inside the home. Chapter 55 ¡°What do we do now? You can¡¯t possibly stay away forever, right?¡± the guys cautiously asked as they entered the room. ¡°If we can¡¯t hide, what else can we do?¡± ¡°I told you to just arrest someone and make a big mess for me; do you know who the fuck you shot? Any Milton Family character can toy with you to death!¡± Hearing this, the man¡¯s knees got weak, and he grasped Feru¡¯s arm, saying, ¡°Clive, you must rescue me, you must save me.¡± ¡°This matter requires someone to take responsibility for it, the spear has your fingerprints, do you think you can escape?¡± Feru pulled his hand away and coughed a few times before saying, ¡°This matter requires someone to take responsibility for it, the spear has your fingerprints, do you think you can escape?¡± ¡°Then what should I do?¡± With pale and trembling lips, the man asked. ¡°All of you were doing this for money, and now you are poking a hole in the ground,¡± Feru said, cing the money he brought back on the table, opening the box, filling it with red notes, then sticking both hands in his pockets and saying, ¡°No one will be able to take all of it, if anyone is willing to take all of it, Boss Smith will naturally not treat you badly.¡± The few guys were stunned into silence¡­ ¡°If I am caught, there will be a huge difference between the time I turn myself in and the time I turn myself in,¡± Feru said, appearing rxed. ¡°I¡¯ll leave,¡± the man who fired the gun finally said as he rose up. ¡°You should know what to say, right?¡± Feru said with a satisfied grin. The guy sighed hard, certain that there was no other way out. In any case, being incarcerated wasn¡¯t all that difficult. Wasn¡¯t he supposed to make an appearance in the second part of the year? It was considerably more difficult for him to acquire money while in jail than it was to fight for his life outside. The night was gloomy and devoid of stars. Ava listened to Goden Bran¡¯s robust heartbeat while lying on his chest. He stared at her with love in his eyes, just as she had imagined hundreds of times. But why did she feel both delighted and apprehensive at the same time? It seemed like though she was in the middle of a lovely dream. She¡¯d wake up sooner orter, and she¡¯d break into bits sooner orter¡­ She felt like a glittering bubble when she was with him¡­Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. The bubble will break soon the sun shines. He nced down at her with his chin resting on the top of her head. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I believed I heard a gunshot that day,¡±Ava Lins said, ¡°but I also noticed blood outside the yard afterwards. Did someone get injured?¡± As he gazed at her, his eyes were downcast. He knew that if he mentioned Jeorge Milton at this point, she would automatically side with him. ¡°Did you hear anything wrong?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t hear anything, and the blood on the ground may have been left there by those crooks,¡± she says. As he lied with a straight face, the arm over her shoulders tightened. He was concerned, even though he didn¡¯t show it on his face. She despised the sensation of being cheated on, yet¡­ Is he in a position to choose? He could only stand there and watch as she drew closer to Jeorge Milton. What more could he do now that things had progressed to this point? With a sigh in his heart, Goden Bran dropped his head and kissed her forehead. He hoped there woulde a day when he didn¡¯t have to lie to her. He still had a lot of things to aplish that day. Goden Bran was certain that he would work hard until he had everything, until he was the strongest, until he trod on his rival, and then he could offer her whatever she desired. However, he had utterly disregarded it. Is it true that she was still with him at the time? ¡°Ava¡­¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°Will you remain at my side at all times?¡± He asked, and he craved an affirmative response. ¡°Yes, I will,¡±Ava said after some thinking. As long as he was true in his feelings for her, as long as his heart waspletely dedicated to her. In terms of the past, she would embrace it wholeheartedly since she loved this guy. Didn¡¯t Ava Lins see herself strolling hand in hand with Goden Bran from the minute she first saw him? Some people believe that when a woman really loves a guy, her IQ is almost gone. Ava Lins is an example of such ady. She doesn¡¯t want to think about it too much; if he says he loves her, she will believe him. Under the same night sky, Jeorge Milton, who was also on his sickbed, gripped his phone and repeatedly dialed the number, then erased¡­ He¡¯d repeated the identical movement at least 10 times. He looked at theputer with sadness, typed in her phone number, paused for a while, and then erased it. ¡°I¡¯m alright, but Goden Bran seems to be in the hospital,¡± David Irving said. ¡°I was about to go to the hospital to question her sister, but I noticed Ava Lins following her to the ward; who do you suppose is inside?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really Goden Bran, who was bitten by a deadly snake, but it¡¯s nothing severe, and he should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow,¡± added the nurse. ¡°I mean, you can¡¯t be affected by the fact that Ava Lins resembles Kacy, can you?¡± You didn¡¯t notice, but the two of them are currently as good as newlyweds.¡± David Irving talked in a stupid and unthinking tone, entirely oblivious to Jeorge Milton¡¯s clouded look ¡°It¡¯s¡­ ¡°How about I assist you explore further? I feel like this topic is extremely unusual and fierce,¡± he said, surprised when he spotted Jeorge Milton¡¯s chilly look. ¡°There¡¯s no need; go out.¡± Chapter 56 Jeorge Milton¡¯s face darkened as he refused to say anything else. Jeorge Milton kept his present pose after David Irving had departed, repeating it again and over for more than an hour. He knew she¡¯d be wrapped in Goden Bran¡¯s arms right now without even having to think about it. It sent shivers down his spine just thinking about it.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. He dropped his hand in irritation and set the phone aside, staring at the number on the screen. If he attempted to move even a little, his damaged leg would be pulled in and he¡¯d be in so much agony that he¡¯d break out in cold sweat. His leg would most likely pain even if he could walk properly¡­ The next day. They did not return to the vi they used to reside in when Goden Bran was released. Instead, they drove to the city¡¯s newest neighborhood and parked their cars in front of the vi. Ava was taken aback and didn¡¯t understand why he had brought her here. As he drew her closer to the vi, the corner of his lips curved up. As she followed him in, Ava¡¯s eyes shed a little grin. Almost everything was already set up inside, and the d¨¦cor and furnishings were all brand new. ¡°Why did you bring me here?¡± she asked, smiling as she took in her surroundings. He grinned and drew her close to him. ¡°This site will be our new home in the future,¡± he muttered as his giant hand softly stroked her hair. ¡°Do you like it?¡± She raised her eyes to his. ¡°Really? But why move when the previous home was so nice?¡± ¡°Besides, you must have spent a lot of money on this property; since you¡¯re short on cash right now, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste to spend it here?¡± He gave her a slight grin as he touched her face with his enormous hands, softly moving the hair behind her ears at the side of her cheekbones. ¡°How could it be a waste for you to utilize it, Sweetheart?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want you to think about those horrible memories in that home over there; can¡¯t we just start here?¡± ¡°I said, I¡¯ll treat you well,¡±Goden Bran replied, holding her exquisite tiny hand. ¡°Ava, it¡¯s only a home, I can¡¯t wait to offer you everything in the world, do you understand?¡± Ava was a bit shocked as she listened to his profound sentiments. Did he really understand what it meant to love her? It is said that men would do the wrong things because they are embarrassed of you and will grasp the need of treating you properly topensate for their feelings of unease and guilt. Which kind would he be in such case? ¡°Howe you¡¯re staring at me like that?¡± With a grin on his face, he asked, but his heart was at a loss. Her stare conveyed a degree of inquiry, a degree of conjecture¡­ ¡°Others say that only when a man has done something bad will he treat the woman beside him well, in order to make up for the guilt in his heart. Goden Bran, are you such a person?¡± she asked, tilting her head and smiling sweetly as she asked, When he heard, it appeared as though he had struck the nail on the head, and his countenance altered quickly. He was rigid, even though he wanted to grin. ¡°What? Are you furious?¡±Ava asked, sensing something was wrong and assuming he was angry. ¡°I was simply kidding,¡± He grinned and drew her into his arms after raising his eyebrows. ¡°Ava, I treat you well. I feel bad. I was too cold to you before, so I want to make up for it,¡± he tenderly held her and said in a deep voice. Ava¡¯s heart sank when she heard this type of exnation. ¡°That¡¯s all I need right now; I¡¯m pleased.¡± She never expected much from him as long as he loved her and his heart¡­ She could disregard her own circumstances and give him all her father had given her, just as she could ignore her own situation and offer him everything her father had given her. She merely wanted to assist him get over his troubles at the moment, not for him to do great things¡­ She knew Goden Bran had a lot of ambition, so she couldn¡¯t help but back him up. Goden Bran took a step back and gave her a kind grin. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go upstairs and have a look,¡± he urged, clutching her hand warmly. ¡°Alright.¡± Ava¡¯s face overflowed with a delighted grin as she followed him up the stairs and gazed at their new home. She fell in love with it even more when she saw therge balcony that stretched out from the master bedroom. She strolled out onto the balcony, eagerly pushing open the windows. He hadn¡¯t dared to harm her pristine appearance. This was due to the fact that he was no longer a pure person with a pure heart. But now he lusted after her innocence and wished to possess it. Goden Bran stood in front of the ss, watching her beaming face. His tiny lips curled slightly as well. ¡°Daniel, in the future, we can look at the night sky here, and in the morning, we can also look at the sunrise,¡± she said. ¡°You know, I like this kind of balcony, it gives me such a good feeling, and when I get home from work tired, I can also lie in this couch rest, how good.¡± He acknowledged to being selfish. He was filthy, she was pure. He feared losing her no matter how firmly he gripped her¡­ ¡°What happened to you?¡±Ava Lins asked. ¡°Is there a problem with thepany?¡± she asked, recalling his recent phone call. ¡°Tell me what happened?¡± She was anxious as he grew quiet. Goden Bran sighed and chuckled, confusing Ava Lins. ¡°I truly enjoy the sensation I have now, I appreciate the sense of you caring for me,¡± he said. Chapter 57 ¡°Will you constantly worry about me?¡± Softly he asked He tried hard to cover his impotence, but his face still showed a trace of sadness. He held Ava Lins firmly. Ava Linsid on the man¡¯s chest, helpless¡­ Her phone rang suddenly. Ava Lins didn¡¯t change the sound to vibration, but it was piercing. ¡°I¡¯ll go pick up the phone,¡± she said, pushing Goden Bran aside. The screen showed an odd number. ¡°Hello¡­¡± said Ava Lins, perplexed. ¡°¡­¡± On the opposite side, steady breathing. He didn¡¯t say or make a sound. He waited until Ava Lins had had enough and was ready to hang up when she heard ¡°I miss you¡­¡± ¡°I miss Ava.¡± His voice appeared to have the power to prate her heart. ¡°Sorry, you phoned the wrong number,¡± she said, her voice agitated as she noticed Goden Bran approaching. She hastily ended the call. ¡°Did you make a mistake?¡±Goden Bran asked, walking closer to her.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. Then she drew back. She bowed her head and charged her phone. ¡°I misdialed.¡± Goden Bran grimaced at her rear view. Jeorge Milton listened to his phone¡¯s beeping noises for a long time. A nurse answered the door. He put down his phone and rxed. ¡°Mr. Milton, you must sign this agreement if you leave the hospital.¡± It was an arrangement with the hospital so he couldn¡¯t me them if he refused to leave. The doctor informed him he couldn¡¯t leave the hospital for now. He needed to stay in the hospital for treatment, but he refused. Despite the nurse¡¯s advice, he took the pen and wrote his name on it. Your legs are momentarily not convenient to go about, therefore I propose that you allow your rtivese and pick you up.¡± Jeorge Milton stared out the window at the hazy moon, immersed in meditation. Next day. Mrs. Ben felt concerned after sending Jeorge Milton to his home and could only remain behind to care for him. ¡°Your grandpa felt you wanted to return there and was quite thrilled, even his room was entirely cleaned up for you,¡± she said after cleaning up the room. ¡°Mrs. Ben isn¡¯t reprimanding you, but home is the most important ce, so forget about the past and worry about your grandpa.¡± Jeorge Milton sat in his wheelchair, grimaced, and pushed it out into the hall. Mrs. Ben spun around to face his obstinate back. ¡°All the guys in your Milton Family are one person, tenacious to the end,¡± she sighed. He got out of his wheelchair and went to the pool. After much deliberation, he called Ava Lins. He paused before responding. ¡°Don¡¯t you want it to end? If you want to talk to me,e visit me right immediately,¡± he urged quietly. ¡°Mrs. Ben, you can go back now,¡±Jeorge Milton said after hanging up. ¡°How can it be?¡± said Mrs. Ben. ¡°I came here to care for you; how can I leave?¡± ¡°Just go back and tell Grandfather I ordered you to go back. I already have a servant taking care of you here,¡±Jeorge Milton grumbled. ¡°Others can take better care of them than me, but what if they hurt where they are, leaving behind concealed dangers?¡± Mrs. Ben fretted. ¡°Even if your grandpa didn¡¯t tell me to remain, I have to stay to take care of you. I won¡¯t be at rest until you¡¯re alive and kicking. In a bind, Jeorge Milton Mr. Ben didn¡¯t want Mrs. Sighing. ¡°It¡¯s up to you. I truly have no means of dealing with you,¡± he said hopelessly. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ben smiled like a child who had just tasted honey. Ava Lins pondered what he would say next. She took a few deep breaths, as if negotiating on the battlefield. Her every word and movement had fallen into Jeorge Milton¡¯s eyes. A camera was at the door. The high-tech equipment had tranted her every word and gesture onto his tabletputer. His lips curved slightly. ¡°Mrs. Ben, go answer the door,¡± he asked after shutting off the tabletputer. ¡°Is anybodying?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go answer the door,¡± Mrs. Ben chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s that terrible brat David Irving.¡± She cleaned his hands and strolled past the garden and pool to unlock the door. The door opened as Ava Lins was about to push the doorbell. When Mrs. Ben met Ava Lins, his grin progressively faded. That look was disrespectful, but she couldn¡¯t help but stare at Ava Lins in a stupor. ¡°It¡¯s too simr,¡± she murmured. Ava Lins felt awkward and uneasy being gazed at by someone who¡¯s eyes were already crimson. She feigned. ¡°Hello.¡± Then Mrs. Ben regained her wits. ¡°You must be here to locate Jeorge Milton, right?¡± she said, her voice quivering. ¡°Enter.¡± Mrs. Ben opened the door for Ava Lins. ¡°What is young miss¡¯s surname?¡± Mrs. Ben would question sometimes as she walked behind her. But Mrs. Ben had a lot of questions that sounded like ount searches. ¡°Miss Lins, sorry, I was too nasty,¡± Mrs. Ben groaned, ¡°please go up, he is waiting for you.¡± She forced a grin and walked up the steps. When Ava Lins entered the room, she saw Jeorge Milton in a wheelchair. Legs¡­ She was stunned and unable to speak. She squinted at his thigh ¡®You¡¯ Jeorge Milton looked horrified and bitterly grinned. He had nearly lost a leg because of her, but she didn¡¯t know¡­ He sighed, not caring whether she knew. He didn¡¯t go to rescue her or thank him. He didn¡¯t mean to mention his legs. Instead, he poured himself a cup of the finest ck tea and said, ¡°Come here.¡± ¡°This tea is quite delicious, try it yourself,¡± he said as she sat on the couch. Ava Lins wasn¡¯t in the mood for tea, so she didn¡¯t offer her hand. ¡°I didn¡¯te to tea with you today, Jeorge Milton.¡± How did she have time for him? Jeorge Milton gazed up at her worried face, and his heart ached indescribably. ¡°You want to abandon me?¡± ¡°Do I mistreat you?¡± ¡°Our rtionship isn¡¯t normal in the first ce. It will end sooner orter, regardless of whether it¡¯s good or horrible,¡±Ava Lins replied, avoiding his sight. Chapter 58 ¡°What does it mean?¡± Why did Goden Bran treat her like that, and why did she keeping back? Ava Lins couldn¡¯t help but stare. Her throat felt constricted as she looked into hisplex eyes, unable to speak for a long time. ¡°I genuinely want to start over with him,¡± she saidter. ¡°Jeorge Milton, can you let me go??¡± She didn¡¯t want to go on. She sought to offer him hope, but he refused to remain with her. The phony love simply made her fall deeper, losing her heart control. ¡°You pushed me to use this matter, did you know that? I genuinely detest you, hate myself for loving you so much, but there¡¯s nothing I can do about it.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t gue our lives any longer, even if you treat me like a pet or a ymate to alleviate your boredom.¡± She spoke what she meant, but he scoffed in his heart, his grin sour. ¡°You finally said it.¡± He knew she despised him¡­ How could he not know that herpassion, patience, and adjustments were all viewed as dolls? He couldn¡¯t contain his rage and poured the whole tea set on the table into the floor. Suddenly, there was a ttering and the tea set was shattered. Ava Lins was surprised. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and drew her in. Ava Lins tried hard to resist, but she couldn¡¯t. He squeezed her wrist so hard it ached, preventing any escape. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she scowled. Her brows furrowed, and her ink-ck eyes glowed. ¡°Since you appreciate Goden Bran so much, I should let you see for yourself what type of guy he is! The eerie voice pierced her heart like a spell, sending a cold through her innards. ¡°I know better than you!¡± ¡°Really? Then you just wait and see, maybe it won¡¯t disappoint you too much.¡± She smirked. The calm in his gaze made her nervous, and she started to wonder whether she truly knew him. When Jeorge Milton watched her grimace and her face be ghostly white, he let go of his grip on her wrist just partially. He moved his head away from her. He feared losing control again¡­ ¡°If you want to terminate it, half a month!¡± he said coldly. ¡°You¡¯ve already done all they did, and in only half a month, I¡¯ll make up for everything you owe me before. Is it worth it?¡± He was too kind¡­ He took her to many ces because he wanted to be with her. ¡°Of course, you don¡¯t have to agree,¡± he said arrogantly, as he saw her gritting her teeth and gazing furiously at him. ¡± He had still to trash away a cup of tea off the table, she was enraged, she took up the cup and sprayed it over his face, then violently put it down, her whole body quivering. His eyes sharpened as he peered unblinkingly into hers. ¡°You already hate me enough, I don¡¯t mind having you hate me more.¡± He thought he could do it so he wouldn¡¯t have to worry¡­ He doesn¡¯t care how much she despises him¡­ He had only approached her because she resembled Kacy. But why was his heart sore he couldn¡¯t breath? ¡°Consider it when you return, I¡¯m running out of time. Not showing up tomorrow afternoon means you don¡¯t agree. I¡¯ll take a leave of absence for the firm.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t do it!¡± Ava Lins gritted ¡°I resign! What was she going to do if she stayed there? After that, she hurried downstairs, her high heels sounding as though she was fleeing away¡­ Every stride hurt his heart, and the ache came from the side. She entered swiftly after Ava Lins departed, seeing the shattered pieces on the ground and Jeorge Milton¡¯s pursed lips. Mrs. Ben cleaned up the debris and said, ¡°Why do you like that girl? ¡± Mrs. Ben had seen Kacy and Jeorge Milton¡¯s connection firsthand. Jeorge Milton didn¡¯t let anybody bully her since they were childhood friends. Regrettably After being abducted, Jeorge Milton¡¯s father had to wait for the cops to deal with the perpetrator, arrest and punish him, while Jeorge Milton had to see Kacy die in front of him. Jeorge Milton felt that the abduction was orchestrated by Jonas Milton¡¯s new wife, and he despised her to the bone after his mother¡¯s death¡­ In the press reports, he was a troublemaker, and Mrs. Ben realized he wasn¡¯t the real Jeorge Milton. ¡°I know you had a terrible blow about Kacy, but you can¡¯t live within it forever, so I sincerely hope that she can help you move out of the past,¡± Mrs. Ben moaned. ¡°I¡¯m alright,¡±Jeorge Milton said, unable to speak. It was 2 p. m., the Civil Affairs Bureau¡¯s shift time. Goden Bran sat on the train, his eyes fixed on his wristwatch¡­ ¡°Boss Smith, Miss Tannu should be waiting inside,¡± Feru reminded him, as he stood still. Goden Bran grimaced deeply when he heard this. ¡°Boss, you won¡¯t back down, will you? We can leave each other now that we¡¯re married. If Ava Lins found outter, she would naturally wait for your divorce. ¡± ¡°As long as the situation is as easy as you believe, then it¡¯s good enough,¡±Goden Bran said bitterly. He knew Ava Lins¡¯ mentality, and he knew she would ignore him if she knew he was with Belli Tannu. Goden Bran had his eye on Belli Tannu, not only because she had a father who is a senior official, but also because she was now working for her uncle. Her uncle Tom Green had no children, he adored her, and he got everything he desired¡­ The most vital! This was also why he subsequently learned he had to marry Belli Tannu. Tom Green would only assist him if they were married. Feru reminded him, fearing he might retract his statement. Then Goden Bran raised his gaze to the window and called Ava Lins¡¯ number. ¡°Ava Lins, I missed you,¡± he said when the phone rang. ¡°Expect me tonight. Want to meet?¡± ¡°Why is my skin numb? ¡°Ava Lins had no idea her heart¡¯s longing was shared by her dear friend in the Civil Affairs Bureau. Goden Bran listened to her soft words, hoping she¡¯d never know. He sighed and gripped his phone ¡°Let¡¯s discuss it when we return. I¡¯m busy, therefore I¡¯m hanging up.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Wait¡­ ¡°Hmm? ¡°I¡± He wanted to say anything, but his voice was constricted, so he just murmured, ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Chapter 59 He hung up the phone afterpleting his statement. He feared he would hesitate, that the guilt in his heart would torment him to death. Belli Tannu, who was waiting at the entrance, noticed him and enthusiastically grabbed his hand, moaning, ¡°I let me wait for you for so long, you¡¯re so horrible.¡± He stared at Belli Tannu, his ex-girlfriend. He didn¡¯t want to marry her just now. But he had no option but to lift his voice and announce, ¡°Something has been postponed. Go.¡±This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. He had no idea he was leading anotherdy into the Civil Affairs Bureau. Goden Bran said he¡¯d return tonight, but Ava Lins didn¡¯t move until 10 p. m. She sat on the couch, her forlorn face illuminated by the TV. Even though Ava Lins lived alone in this smaller property, she thought it was lonely¡­ It seemed even more lonely in the new development of the home, distant and sparsely inhabited. The home felt like a frigid dungeon filled with three or nine ice chunks at that point. She groaned, switched off the TV, and walked upstairs. She twisted and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, recalling Jeorge Milton¡¯s words: ¡°Since you adore Goden Bran so much, I should show you who he is. How else would you feel pain? ¡± You shouldn¡¯t be disappointed. His voice was firm. As though he had already established that if Goden Bran had wronged her, she would cry. She tried to remember what Jeorge Milton had said to her, but her heart was still tense. Under the same night sky, people slept, yearned to return home, and were disheartened and depressed. Belli Tannu exited the restroom, seeing Goden Bran remaining in front of the window ¡°What¡¯s up? ¡°You¡¯ve been standing for a long time. It¡¯ste.¡± Goden Bran nced at her and spoke for a long time, which worried Belli Tannu¡±So, what happened to you? Do you regret marrying me? ¡± ¡°No,¡± he said finally. How could he¡­ He couldn¡¯t help but feel helpless. ¡°I still have work to do. You go to bed first, I go to work.¡± ¡°What¡¯s keeping you so busy? I won¡¯t allow you go out to deal with that situation. Your assistant can help you solve it. Today is our registration day, and I don¡¯t want to be alone.¡± ¡°Consider your first night with Ava Lins. You weren¡¯t here all night, so did you end up divorcing? ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want you to go, I¡¯m not her.¡± Goden Bran¡¯s heart ached at the thought. That night he recalled This woman had deceived him not to leave¡­ Did she leave him behind to make Ava Lins miserable since she knew it was bad for a young bride to be alone on her first night of marriage? Or maybe she wasn¡¯t as innocent as he thought. Was that guilt all an act? His hand was released and he was ready to go when the doorbell rang. Then her father asked, ¡°Are you out? Talk to me if you don¡¯t sleep.¡± When the two parties¡¯ parents gathered for dinner, Belli Tannu¡¯s father, who had drunk too much the night before, walked straight to her and Belli Tannu¡¯s new room. ¡°I¡¯m still awake,¡±Goden Bran said as he opened the door. He grinned and said, ¡°Let¡¯s discuss in the living room.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Goden Bran knew he would want to chat about work with him, so he would not miss this chance. Belli Tannu sulked on her bed as they came downstairs. Her lower abdomen ached again. She sighs, dreading going to the hospital tomorrow. The following day. When Ava Lins saw Tianra Lins working so hard, she felt sad: ¡°Let¡¯s rx, Tianra Lins . ¡°No way!¡± Tianra Lins Ellis shrugged ¡°To practice rapidly and get up early. Sis, I no longer want to use a wheelchair ory in a hospital. I can¡¯t handle it anymore.¡± ¡°I want to hold George.¡± Hearing this made Ava Lins¡¯ sentimentsplex. What if she informed Tianra Lins the guy may never return? She couldn¡¯t see the future and could only take things one step at a time. ¡°You¡¯re here,¡± David Irving said, turning around and beaming brightly. ¡°I brought your favorite strawberries,¡± David Irving grinned. As he said this, he triumphantly hoisted a bag full of strawberries. Her eyes glowed as she spotted the luscious strawberries. ¡°David Irving, you¡¯re fantastic,¡± she said pleasantly. Tianra Lins was seeking for a tissue to wipe her perspiration when Ava Lins saw David Irving was already one step away, leaned down and used a tissue to wipe her sweat ¡°You can¡¯t even rx when you¡¯re exhausted. David Irving was nk-faced. She had no idea they were that close. But he had repeatedly told her that he had nothing but sympathy for her. ¡°Sis, don¡¯t you have to work? David Irving can send me backter, and Dad will be over in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll phone you if I need anything.¡± Ava Lins grinned. Her heart hurt as she saw her position improving and her attitude bing more positive and rational. Minute by minute, Ava Lins thought, but eventually arrived at Jeorge Milton¡¯s door. She knew that if she didn¡¯t go, he would do what he did. He didn¡¯t mean to deceive her. She rang the doorbell, hesitantly. She had no idea that she wasn¡¯t alone in her fear. Jeorge Milton, who had sat in front of the window all day, had the sameck of faith in him. His phone was dead, and he couldn¡¯t shoot images when someone was in danger¡­ He was merely banking on her attendance. He had just targeted her most vulnerable point. He couldn¡¯t harm her if she didn¡¯t arrive. His ck eyes glowed when he saw her. His eyes lit up as he saw her. ¡°You are pretty timely, you didn¡¯t exceed our agreed time,¡±George said, raising his eyebrows. ¡°You¡¯re in the mood to work, right? When I¡¯m done, I should be allowed to go, right?¡±said Ava Lins. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°OK, now I¡¯ll do it.¡± She turned to go. ¡°Help me make something to eat first,¡± he said. Chapter 60 He hadn¡¯t been in since morning, and seeing her put him in a good mood, and he wanted to eat what she had made. Ava Lins was facing him. ¡°Mhm,¡± she said finally, her voice muffled. She finished speaking and went down. Jeorge Milton¡¯s lips twitched into a slight grin as she left. The more Ava Lins thought about it, the angrier she felt. He intended to intentionally torment her, but she couldn¡¯t¡­ She added two more spoons to the salt when she saw it in her palm. ¡°I¡¯ll let you eat it and salt you!¡± she smiled at the memory of his face as he ate.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. She had no idea how much joy it was to deceive. Jeorge Milton nced up as he closed theputer and saw her smiling. His eyes looked transfixed on her, almost hypnotized by her nce¡­ Ava Lins turned around and met his piercing gaze. Her words were trapped in her throat. She dreaded his piercing look. ¡°The oatmeal is done,¡± she replied, turning away. She served him the Chestnut Chicken Porridge in a dish on the tea table. The aroma of the chicken porridge prated the air, making him seem very tasty. ¡°Be patient.¡± She pretended nothing had urred and advised him to rx before turning around to wipe up the tea table¡¯s mess. Jeorge Milton eventually ate her meal. How could he eat it when it was so salty? He took a spoonful with anticipation. His grin vanished as he spit out the porridge in his mouth with a napkin. ¡°What is this?¡± How can it be salty and bitter? Ava Lins had anticipated this. ¡°If you don¡¯t like the food I make, don¡¯t ask me to cook it in the future,¡± she added, holding back herughter. ¡°Since it¡¯s awful, you don¡¯t need to eat it,¡± she added as she moved up to him. She attempted to seize his bowl as she spoke. ¡°When did I ever say I won¡¯t eat?¡±Jeorge Milton lifted his hand and ducked, as if terrified she might seize his prized possession. As he spoke, he ate spoonfuls of this meal. Ava Lins was surprised. It was too salty for him to consume. She wanted to stop him, but she couldn¡¯t speak. If she stopped him now, wouldn¡¯t she be admitting she did it? Ava Lins watched him brush away the food from the bowl while sipping from the cup. She felt guilty. He lifted his brows at her. ¡°Why are you gazing at me?¡± You can¡¯t do all these duties and depart today.¡± Ava Lins believed her remorse was wasted since he acted like a boss directing his workers. As she swept the floor, she saw him. Afternoon When Ava Lins walked down the stairs, she felt dizzy seeing the confetti-filled living room. Her patient temper burst. When he spotted Jeorge Milton still writing with his brush, he twisted the paper into a ball and flung it on the ground. The maker of rubbish! Screaming and hurling the mop in front of him ¡°Jeorge Milton, stop it!¡± She cleaned the home for a full day, when it might have been done in an hour or two. Fearful of her savage gaze, he lifted his eyes to her, asking innocently, ¡°Where am I?¡± ¡°You!¡± Ava Lins pointed to the trash ¡°Look at how much rubbish you¡¯ve made in only a half hour! Jeorge Milton drew a brow ¡°You and I both work as interior designers. You should know that if it¡¯s not to my taste, I¡¯ll toss it.¡± ¡°Then you may dump it in the garbage bin,¡±Ava Lins said, her cheeks flushed. He buried his face in his work again, crumpling the paper into a ball and dropping it at her feet, addingzily, ¡°Don¡¯t you see my legs? Is it really convenient to toss it in the garbage bin so far away? ¡± ¡®You¡¯ ¡°Quiet down, don¡¯t interrupt me while I work,¡± he said softly as she was ready to erupt in rage. She was enraged, but he merely sat there, his long fingers stroking the pen, as if she had misunderstood him. As he started to tidy up the living area, Ava Lins stared at him, her hatred hidden. When he saw her furious attitude, he raised his gaze and curved his lips slightly, an invisible grin brimming in his dark eyes. She suddenly looked at him. Jeorge Milton¡¯s heart sank as he dropped his eyes, wiped away his grin, and pretended to be deep in contemtion¡­ Ava Lins scowled at him again, and he was going to throw away the papers when he yelled out to her, ¡°But!¡± ¡°I appear to have misced one, please bring it over here.¡± The bag was full with documents, and he wanted to locate them? He moved his wheelchair over, grabbed her bag, opened them one by one, and dropped them on the ground before she could respond. Ava Lins red at the papers on the ground, her little lips around Jeorge Milton. She knew he was doing it on purpose! ¡°I found it,¡± he beamed, holding the piece of paper he discovered. Ava Lins wanted to shout. She pulled the bag from his hands and proceeded to pick up the paper on the ground, stifling her rage. Finally, a tidy living room. She could go, but there were no other staff in the room, and he couldn¡¯t move freely in his wheelchair. He wanted to inquire whether he had found someone else to look after him, but she decided not to. What did it matter that he had no one to look after him? Jeorge Milton called David Irving as soon as she departed ¡°I told you to check into it.¡± ¡°Goden Bran¡¯s recent moves seem puzzling. I just know he dined with her family yesterday night. I¡¯ll keep an eye on him for a few days.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± As he hung up, it started to rain heavily. The rain came down hard and fast, quickly drenching the whole city. She had just departed, and it was raining. Jeorge Milton phoned her telephone without thinking, but she did not answer. His damaged left leg couldn¡¯t let him stand up. Chapter 61 He rose up, grabbed up his umbre, and headed to the door, where he was astonished to discover Ava Lins waiting outside. He felt the rain pattering on his heart. Ava Lins looked surprised at him, then saw him holding an umbre and a cane ¡°You¡¯re out?¡± Jeorge Milton¡¯s heart warmed as he stood by her, and the door closed automatically as he stepped out. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you gone?¡± He nced at her and saw her helplessly staring at the heavy rainfall ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t want to go because it¡¯s pouring so hard? Hearing this, Jeorge Milton¡¯s eyes glowed a little. Thanks to the unexpected heavy rain, he got extra time with her. She¡¯d like the rain never cease and she¡¯d never go. So he curved his lips into a huge grin. Ava Lins seldom smiled like that, so he looked puzzled ¡°What¡¯s up? ¡°Iughed so hard my hair stood up.¡± Ava Lins, holding an umbre, begged him. I need your umbre. You don¡¯t have to worry about it with you. ¡°Why should I give you my umbre? ¡± He raised his brows, apprehensively. She went to Goden Bran¡¯s side with an umbre. How did Ava Lins know? Her response was simple: ¡°You¡¯re a man, can¡¯t you be more generous?¡± ¡°Never!¡± He said no right away. Ava Lins was enraged and ignored him. ¡°Why are you standing here in the rain?¡± she asked. No key. ¡°What!¡± Isn¡¯t your door secured by a password?¡± she asked, surprised. I forgot my password, and I have nowhere to go today,¡± he said with a smile. ¡°You don¡¯t have a brain, so you called me responsible. She smirked and looked away. She looked out into the pouring rain, saddened. They both had an umbre and stood together under the eaves. In order to support himself with the walking stick, Jeorge Milton¡¯s legs shook a lot. How can you be so different from your brother Omi Lins¡¯ IQ when you¡¯re siblings? ¡°Omi Lins was smart since he was young,¡± she said ndly as she listened. ¡°You¡¯re the fool!¡± she sneered. His lips curled up into a smile as he looked at her angry expression. An instantter, his recent boredom seemed to vanish. ¡°Do you know why I like being with you?¡± he asked, smiling. Ava Lins met his deep eyes with a gentle look. ¡°Because with you, there¡¯s no need to use your brain,¡± he said, a faint smile on his face. Wasn¡¯t this calling her dumb? Then he tightened his grip on hers. In his deep gaze, Ava Lins felt her heart thump once. ¡°I¡¯m praising you, didn¡¯t you hear?¡± he said with a panicked smile. ¡°I am delighted to be with you because you are innocent and easily deceived.¡± He knew she wasn¡¯t smart enough, he knew she wasn¡¯t¡­ He just wanted to meet someone simple. She wouldn¡¯t think too much about it because he was nice. And even if he did, she¡¯d never know¡­ Ava Lins looked puzzled at him. She retracted her hand in panic as she felt his strength. ¡°What can you do to me?¡± he asked, refusing to let go. She just shrugged. As she struggled, he held on tighter. They were watching the winter rain outside the door. Some people enjoyed the torrential rain, but it brought untold sorrow to others. Belli Tannu hated it when it rained. The fact that she was always wet made her feel unlucky, not to mention the fact that she was always getting wet. In the heavy rain, she stood at the hospital¡¯s entrance, pale. It was discovered that she had chronic kidney disease and needed immediate surgery. Dialysis and death were her only options now that she could still use medication. In spite of the doctors¡¯ assurances that kidney transnts were bing increasingly sessful, she felt a vague sense of panic. Her family had to find a donor kidney for her. The rain had made the air crystal clear. Ava Lins sat on the couch watching TV. She remembered the afternoon and left when the rain stopped. Maybe she was too busy thinking to notice Goden Bran¡¯s return. Ava Lins was stunned when he approached her from behind and covered her eyes. Smiling, he didn¡¯t respond ¡°Come, follow me,¡± he said holding her hand. Ava Lins¡¯ curiosity was piqued by his mysterious smile. ¡°What good stuff is there outside? You¡¯re so mysterious,¡± sheughed as she followed his lead. She saw a ming red Lamborghini as she exited. She looked puzzled at him before noticing he handed her the keys. You need your own car because I can¡¯t always give you a ride. ¡°You¡¯re giving it to me?¡± eximed Ava Lins. ¡°This is for you, this car is now yours.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you like it?¡±Goden Bran asked, raising his eyebrows when she did not hug him as happily as others had. ¡°No.¡± Heaving a sigh, she examined the sports car¡¯s logo. ¡°Isn¡¯t it pricey?¡± He smiled and caressed her cheeks, thinking she thought it was too expensive. ¡°I said it¡¯s not too expensive if it¡¯s on you,¡± he added. They say all women like real. He couldn¡¯t always be with her. He would give her these if she was happy. It satisfied Ava¡¯s vanity, she admitted. Women are generally vain¡­ She didn¡¯t get much from Goden Bran at first. Until now, he had given her a cheap sports car¡­ But ah, ah Nothing in this sports car moved Ava Lins. Did she have to drive this type of car to work because she never thought she could drive it? To the store? To the hosp Her smile was forced. ¡°Thanks, but don¡¯t give me anything precious again.¡± But Ava Lins had no idea Goden Bran¡¯s career was steadily rising. He had no use for a sports car one day. It was worth over $100, 000 when she first saw him, but she had no idea how much it was worth now. ¡°Want to try it?¡± Ava smiled and nodded, not wanting to ruin the mood. His phone rang again at that moment.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Chapter 62 ¡°Wait,¡±Goden Bran said, looking at his phone. He picked up the phone after crossing over. Inquiring about his business practices, Ava Lins looked behind him. Why was he always so far away from her when he picked up the phone¡­ He sounded nervous, as if he feared she would hear. Eventually he approached with a guilty expression. That¡¯s how he¡¯d left before. Save me from a guest! ¡°Do you have something urgent?¡± Ava asked, her heart a little bitter.¡± ¡°Go ahead, drive slowly and call me when you arrive.¡± Goden Bran felt guilty seeing her kindness. Then he felt obligated to stay with her. Ava Lins, I¡¯m so afraid of losing you that I want to see you every day.¡± His feelings for her grew stronger with each passing moment. And he couldn¡¯t just want her anymore. Why are you asking for help when you¡¯ve quit your job? Ava Lins wasn¡¯t sure. ¡°Alright, if you have any urgent matters to attend to first, then we¡¯ll talk about thister,¡± she smiled as she gently pushed him aside. Nobody wanted her to stay home all day, even if she worked forCiqi Group. Just to keep her busy and not look useless, she needed something to do. Second, she always felt that even if a man abandoned her, she would still have a career. She wouldn¡¯t feel the copse of the sky¡­ Ava Lins was about to return to her room as Goden Bran left when she noticed a glinting object under the flower pot. Her steps revealed that she had lost her chain. She picked it up. Gold chain glistened in the streetlight. She went down to look for it that day, but couldn¡¯t find it. Who knew it would be under this flower pot. Ava Lins put the chain away, deciding to return it to him tomorrow instead of sending it. On ate night call, Ava Lins was roused from her sleep by the ringing phone So she rubbed her phone, then held it to her ear, perplexed. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Save me, Sister Ava Lins¡­ Hearing that made Ava Lins¡¯ heart tighten and her mind clear. ¡°Aya?¡± she asked, her phone clenched tightly. ¡°Where¡¯s Aya?¡± ¡°Help me¡­¡± ¡°Exin what happened to you and Omi Lins. It¡¯s no surprise she couldn¡¯t reach Russ today. This made her angrier. ¡°I¡­¡± came a trembling voice from the other end. They discovered Omi Lins saving me. The other party had already hung up as Ava Lins was about to inquire. ¡°Hello¡­ ¡°Aya?¡± A beep beep sound followed¡­ Ava Lins couldn¡¯t sit still after she dropped her phone and thought about the situation the girl had described. Especially when she feared for Omi Lins¡¯ safety¡­ She called Belli Tannu, but she wouldn¡¯t answer. It was impossible for her to connect to Goden Bran¡¯s phone. Her hands went numb as she kept dialing Goden Bran¡¯s phone. He was nowhere to be found¡­ Like Ava Lins, Leaving her behind would be futile. She didn¡¯t know where the cops were. Only Jeorge Milton¡¯s number came to her mind. She almost cried out in joy when she saw the glimmer of hope in her despairing heart. ¡°Jeorge Milton, can you help me save them?¡± she begged, as she described the events in a panic. His absence worried her. ¡°Just give me a word, whether or not I can help you,¡±Ava Lins replied. She couldn¡¯t wait any longer for Omi Lins or Aya¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll go if you don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t run around, tell me the address and wait for me at home,¡± he said just as she was about to hang up. But his legs were really inconvenient. Ava Lins sat in the room, anxious¡­ She rushed out when she heard his car¡¯s horn. He entered the car from the back, the driver in front. ¡°Sorry, your legs are inconvenient, I let you out¡­¡± she apologized. ¡°But I really have no choice¡­ Only you.¡±¡± That¡¯s when Jeorge Milton took her hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m d I found you,¡± choking back sobs. Afraid she¡¯d call him suddenly, he kept his phone on vibrate¡­ Her heart felt sour for some reason. But she found it, so he was right. But she couldn¡¯t find her first target¡­ She needed to find Goden Bran but couldn¡¯t find him. He sighed andforted her, seeing her eyes were already red ¡°No problem, my assitant ought to be able to handle it.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± she choked out between nods. We arrived at the pub Aya was referring to in a sh. David Irving exited the bar and approached the car¡¯s door just before it stopped. ¡°Nothing happened, I¡¯ll have someone send them to the hospital to check on their injuries, it¡¯s just a superficial wound, and the police have already dealt with it,¡± David Irving said, lowering his body and looking at the worried Ava Lins in the car. This caused Ava Lins to realize that the matter was not simple, and she immediately asked: ¡°What does it mean?¡±¡±So, tell me more. David Irving said, rubbing his nose with his hand, ¡°The newspaper¡¯s reporters have already uncovered this issue involving two high school students. That two kids will be punished if this is revealed tomorrow. ¡± Nightclubs attract high school students who fight and cause havoc. So the school had to punish them. ¡°Go find out which newspaper it is, find out who the editor is, and don¡¯t let them write randomly,¡±Jeorge Milton told David Irving as Ava Lins¡¯ heart swelled. Her tense heart began to rx. ¡°OK, I¡¯ll go check it now,¡± David Irving said, his head nodding. Jeorge Milton told the driver ¡°to the Central Hospital¡± after David Irving left. ¡°I promise nothing will happen tomorrow,¡± he smiled as the car started. Hearing this made her eyes glow and her heart swell. No matter how big the problem was, as long as she had him, everything would be fine. Ava Lins even felt safe¡­ The words were inappropriate, but Jeorge Milton couldn¡¯t help himself from asking: ¡°Why isn¡¯t Goden Bran there? ¡°Is he still working?¡± An innocent question turned Ava Lins¡¯ world upside down.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°Perhaps,¡± she forced a smile. Chapter 63 Her tone was so bitter that it made people¡¯s hearts hurt and choke. So what if he gave her diamonds and a luxury car? He wasn¡¯t there when she needed him the most¡­ Ava Lins suddenly felt like a baby bird being nurtured by Goden Bran at home. He was having fun when he returned, but she couldn¡¯t find him after he left. It was bittersweet to see Ava Lins looking out the window, but how could she have sensed anything if she hadn¡¯t asked? Affirming his depravity, he used this asion to make her despiseGoden Bran ¡°Your hands are so cold,¡±Jeorge Milton said softly, holding her icy hands. Ava Lins met his deep pool-like eyes with a smirk and a smile. They stopped talking, leaned against the cushions, and fell asleep, tilting their bodies and resting their heads on his shoulders, as the car continued to drive. In a hospital The girl¡¯s canvas shoes were on the floor as the long corridor was empty early morning. She rushed out, her hand covering her swollen arm, her eyes brimming with tears¡­ Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor. ¡°Aya!¡± The girl cried as anxious shouts echoed in the silent corridor. She paused briefly. He grabbed her arm, his sword-like brows knitted: ¡°What are you doing?¡± From start to finish, Aya kept her head down, pulled her hand away, and took a few steps backwards. She drew back, frightened¡­ Her pain increased with each time she saw him. They¡¯d never be reunited. ¡°What is wrong with you? Long time no school! Supposedly a Miss in a bar, I heard you¡¯re not going hom. ¡± ¡°Speak up!¡± he yelled, but she remained silent. Y, Omi Lins drew her close to him. But she remained silent. It was only when he went to the bar to ask for her confirmation that he realized he had used all his strength to save her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said angrily ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have helped! ¡± The strength behind her was so strong that even Aya could not help but cry after he finished speaking. Sobs and tears filled her eyes as he limped away. Squatting down, she let her tears run free. She was speechless. And she feared that other men would take a second look at her after that night. She couldn¡¯t say it or tell anyone. In front of her favorite boy, she was utterly disappointed in herself as she could only watch helplessly. Someone would know how to protect her if her mother was still alive. When Ava Lins arrived at the hospital, she only saw Omi Lins seated, his head lowered. She approached and surveyed: ¡°Where is Aya, Mr. Ellis? ¡°Don¡¯t mention her,¡±Omi Lins said darkly. Ava Lins noticed Omi Lins sulking and asked, ¡°Did you let the medics treat your wounds? ¡°Sis¡­¡±Omi Lins said glumly, before turning to Ava. ¡°Hmm? ¡°Is it possible for someone to be bad in a short time? Ava Lins smiled as she heard him ¡°Is this Aya? She seems kind to me. She can¡¯t change terrible. ¡± ¡°Like her sister, kindness may be acted upon. He mumbled, but Ava Lins didn¡¯t hear ¡°So what? ¡± ¡°Nothing,¡±Omi Lins said hastily. But he didn¡¯t inform Ava Lins because he didn¡¯t want her to die. So he stayed silent for a long time, hiding in his heart and pondering how to open his lips. ¡°Ava Lins smirked ¡°So you asked her sister? ¡± ¡°I really must know.¡± Ava Lins smiled after a little pause ¡°She is a lovely person despite her family¡¯s circumstances. As for our family¡¯s situation, she just disregarded us. Retorting that Belli Tannu had concealed her power too deeply, Omi Lins said ¡°Alright, immediately get up, I¡¯ll send you back,¡±Ava Lins said, seeing his zeal for Belli Tannu. After that, she led Omi Lins out of the hospital, bending down to assist him get up. Omi Lins smiled as he exited the hospital and noticed Jeorge Milton¡¯s car. ¡°Brother-inw¡±Jeorge Milton greeted him as he climbed into his car. ¡°Your mouth is quite sweet, but you always cause trouble,¡±Jeorge Milton joked, patting Omi Lins on the head. ¡°Omi Lins, don¡¯t call me that!¡±Ava Lins eximed, her face flushed. He kept calling Jeorge Milton brother-inw until his face burned. She sat in front of them and overheard Omi Lins and Jeorge Milton chatting. She recalled Omi Lins threatening to settle the score on her behalf back then. Now Jeorge Milton had bribed him. ¡°How did you bribe Omi Lins? Let him think you¡¯re the best man in the world?¡±Ava Lins asked after Omi Lins left. Jeorge Miltonughed and pressed her hand to his chest. Her face was slightly burned as she was taken aback. ¡°Wait!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to know what move I used? When you treat someone with all your heart, she will definitely feel it,¡± he said, pressing her hand against his chest with force. However, Ava Lins thought he was talking about their friendship. And her heart was in shambles as she didn¡¯t dare to look him Thank you for today¡¯s matter. What is wrong with you? Why was he panting? ¡°Why should I return early if we¡¯re out? ¡± ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± he smiled, inviting them to join him.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. So casually said. He wasn¡¯t seeking her advice. So Ava Lins stopped refusing. A car approached French Dessert. He couldn¡¯t move so he used his crutch to get out. But he frowned and pretended he couldn¡¯t walk, so he couldn¡¯t. ¡°Come,¡± he said. A simple hand on her shoulder was all Ava Lins needed. Without knowing why, Ava Lins felt his scorching breath near her. His appearance drew a lot of attention as she walked him towards French Dessert. Man, that guy is hot. A cripple, ahh. She wondered how his leg had ended up like way while Ava Lins listened. ¡°How did your legs cripple?¡± she said after taking her seat. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± he asked casually, flipping over the list without looking at her. When he first spoke to Ava Lins, he thought he was speaking to She could only sigh and not inquire. She sighs and points to the mulberry milk on the dessert list. ¡°It.¡± She felt his piercing stare on her at that moment. With awe in his eyes, he said: His stare made her shiver. ¡°Is it bad?¡± ¡°No¡­ ¡± ¡°Two servings of cakes,¡± he muttered, turning away from the waitress. ¡°OK, hold on.¡± Before departing, the waiter grinned. Something about him seemed strange to Ava Lins. Not when she said it tasted wonderful and smiled. Also, he had that searing stare for her. She attempted to find a subject to lighten the mood. ¡°What draws you to this restaurant?¡± ¡°You need a specific reason?¡± he said, dropping his head. Chapter 64 ¡°Do you like this?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Ava Lins was speechless after hearing his straightforward exnation. There was nothing further to say. She ate quietly, without speaking.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. She didn¡¯t notice his hand¡¯s magic until he reached over and gently wiped her lips. Her heart felt numb as he softly touched her lips. She sat up, out of reach of his touch. ¡°I¡¯m full,¡±Jeorge Milton said, wiping with a napkin. She sat in front of the bus, clutching her phone and checking for messages. Is he concerned about her? His mobile phone was full with missed calls from her. Isn¡¯t he worried? Her heart sank. Jeorge Milton was moved by her disappointment. Ava Lins sulked all day, glued to her smartphone. She kept her phone in her pocket while straightening up the room and checked it sometimes while resting [¡­] She had thought Goden Bran would call her. During the interval, she sat on the couch, ignoring her phone. ¡°Look at your phone during work time!¡±Jeorge Milton eximed, leaning on her walking stick. Ava Lins was awed. He lifted his hand high, and she stepped up to reim it. ¡°I want your phone!¡± ¡°When you return, I¡¯ll give it to you. ¡°Never!¡± Jeorge Milton¡¯s phone rang at that very time. Ava Lins was even more eager to get her phone back after hearing this. ¡°I already have a phone.¡± ¡± it¡¯s vital to answer your phone.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you be less annoying, Jeorge Milton?¡± Anger drove her to try to reim the phone, but she was too little and his hand was too high. Ava Lins couldn¡¯t care less about the constantmotion on her phone and went for it. Then his crutch wobbled as he dodged. So he attempted to keep her stable on one leg, but she couldn¡¯t. Then he yanked her, and she yelled and Suddenly, theynded on the couch together. They were in an awkward posture, their bodies touching. He pressed her into his other arm. In an instant, Ava Lins¡¯ cheeks flushed and her heart sank. To push her, he grabbed for her phone, but instead he pushed the answer button. ¡°Ava Lins? Afraid Goden Bran might hear Jeorge Milton¡¯s voice, Ava Lins stiffened up. So she answered, ¡°It¡¯s me,¡± one hand on her phone, the other on his chest. The phone rang yesterday night, but I was too weary to answer it. ¡°I¡­ A burning aura caressed her cheeks, and he really bit down on her earlobe. ¡°What¡¯s up? In response to her scream, Goden Bran called her back. To avoid Jeorge Milton, Ava Lins angled tilted head. As she stammered, her palm pushed onGeorge¡¯s chest . After work tonight, I¡¯ll return. So, let¡¯s eat. ¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± ¡°Let me go out with you after this, alright, Ava Lins?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± His lips moved inch by inch on her neck, licking her pulse¡­ This palm clutching against his chest gradually lost all power as the searing air stroked her skin and scratched her heart like feather. She tried to ignore it, avoid it. But she couldn¡¯t help focusing. Shivering, her cheeks flushed, and her pulse elerated, she shrank back. ¡°Listen, Ava Lins.¡± Ava Lins regained control ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°I¡­ I did. ¡± ¡°What is it with you? You¡¯re sick? ¡± Jeorge Milton lifted a sly grin at Goden Bran¡¯sments. ¡°No¡­ ¡°No, I¡¯m alright, what do you want to eat?¡±Ava Lins said hastily.¡± That¡¯s why she asked in this way. Then he bit her neck as a punishment for not knowing Jeorge Milton had heard her. ¡°I crave seafood. I haven¡¯t tasted it in a long time. Ava Lins screamed in agony and smirked. Okay, I¡¯ll call youter; I¡¯m at work. She hastily disconnected the call afterpleting her statement. She pulled him away when she saw his smiling ck eyes. ¡°Are you sick?¡± he smiled, seeing her reddened lips. ¡°You think this is fun, don¡¯t you?¡±Ava Lins looked fiercely at him. He still had a grin! Mr. Ellis rose up and walked out, enraged, with Ava Lins. It was a sad day for Jeorge Milton, as his grin faded and his heart became cold. As though she had lost weight, Belli Tannuy on the driving wheel. In the direction of Goden Bran¡¯s office building, she pulled out her phone and phoned his number. ¡°I¡¯d want to meet.¡± The hospital said her family¡¯s kidneys weren¡¯t fit. Less than a year after the transnt, my parents¡¯ health has deteriorated to the point that they She felt trapped and helpless. He held her in his arms. She hoped he¡¯d say there¡¯d be hope, a change. Who cares? ¡°I¡¯m at the airport and I have to go on a business trip,¡± he said. ¡°Alright, I know you¡¯re busy, I¡¯ll wait for you toe back first,¡±Belli Tannu said, her voice lowering as she sighed. She was ready to drive away after hanging up. In the revolving entrance of the firm, he suddenly met Goden Bran. Her heart sank, and she clenched her grip on the wheel Wasn¡¯t he at the airport? Is this the airport he¡¯s referencing? He was lying to her, so she bit her lip. Seeing him get inside the vehicle, she jumped in and followed. They walked silently beside him. Belli Tannu became colder as they followed. Did he always lie about travelling on business trips? She had suspected it but had discovered nothing. Is it possible he had other woman? Belli Tannu was skeptical of Goden Bran when he drove into the lonely vi location. She saw his entrance inside the mansion. His number had been phoned, but she got the message: The user has been disconnected. Belli Tannu pped her phone into the pillow, yelling. He had misled her. Outside, there was anotherdy! She rushed in, but¡­ She couldn¡¯t divorce or even let go of the woman who ruined her marriage. Goden Bran and her would never be friends if she rushed in like this. Belli Tannu sucked her lip and reminded herself to restrain her. She had to chuckle at the end. She was enraged and had a heart cold. When she was at her lowest moment in her life, he had other women around. In her grief, she shed tears the size of beans. But she couldn¡¯t help but pound the steering wheel in rage¡­ Chapter 65 She needed to know! She wouldn¡¯t let thatdy off if she knew about it. How could Belli Tannu know that she had felt this way just months ago? Thatdy with Goden Bran in this vi was Ava Lins! Goden Bran arrived home to see her cooking supper. A day ago, he stepped up behind her and held her from behind, chin on her shoulder. She grinned when she heard this. ¡°When did you learn to utter nice words?¡± Then go watch TV or anything else in the living room while I make supper. Goden Bran smiled and nodded before kissing her on the cheek and leaving. Ava Lins¡¯ grin faded slowly. But why did she still feel empty inside? She became greedier. To her, she was the happiest woman on the as long as he loved her and held her in his heart. Was it enough love? His betrayal had shattered her confidence in him and made her hate him. She wouldn¡¯t have doubted anything he said before, however. Shepletely trusted him. But now¡­ The fact that he didn¡¯t answer the phonest night was due to his hectic schedule. Then she pushed herself to believe him in her heart. Ava Lins closed her eyes, seeing herself as overly emotional. She shouldn¡¯t have any reservations now that she¡¯s opted to give him another opportunity and again trust him.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. Ava Lins took a deep breath . They ate and watched TV as normal that night. He¡¯d been in the studyte that evening. She learned Goden Bran¡¯s passion for his business as she watched him work tirelessly¡­. ¡°Go and sleep first, I¡¯ll be back in a moment,¡±Goden Bran said, seeing she was drowsy and dozing on the couch. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to bed first,¡± she said, yawning and nodding. On her way back to bed, she recalled something. ¡°Hello,¡±Ava Lins said, putting the phone to her ear. ¡°Where can I get Red Braised Rock Spotted Fish?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Tell me the steps and supplies.¡± Jeorge Milton¡¯s quiet voice came out. ¡°Why are you asking this?¡±Ava Lins massaged her eyes, skeptical. ¡°Can we do more?¡± After 2 hrs¡­ ¡°Why is it so bad, did you teach me wrong?¡± screamed Ava Lins, exhausted. ¡°Mm¡­¡± Her perception shifted. She mumbled a response before dozing off. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hello?¡± A dejected Jeorge Milton sat down with his chopsticks and listened to her breathing, but he couldn¡¯t hang up. You may ask Mrs. Ben to cook for you tomorrow if you truly want to eat the fish she makes. Not knowing what was going on tonight, he said wanting this meal and Mrs. Ben was done preparing, so he imed he didn¡¯t want it and had to phone for instructions. Mrs. Ben proceeded to clean up the messes. Ava Lins slept with her phone that night. Goden Bran eventually put her phone aside at daybreak. He nced at her phone, which was dead. Next day. She waited for Goden Bran¡¯s car outside the vi and rang the doorbell. But she had not anticipated to see such a face when she opened the door. A face she despised. Her face stiffened. This, she knew, was wrong! How is this possible? Simrly, Ava Lins was astonished. Belli Tannu had never informed anybody about this location, so she was shocked she could discover it. Goden Bran had warned her not to tell anybody, so Ava Lins was understandably and pleasantly startled to see Belli Tannu at the doorway. ¡°Wait, why?¡± ¡°How do you know this ce?¡± she asked, affectionately taking Belli Tannu¡¯s hand. Belli Tannu was unable to speak due to arge stone in her throat. It seemed absurd to her! Her chest shook as she angrily flung Ava Lins¡¯ hands away, her eyes swollen with rage. Why is it always her? ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡±Belli Tannu screamed hysterically as Ava Lins reached for her hand. Belli Tannu drew back, her eyes welling. She rushed into the room, straight to the bedroom and bathroom, under Ava Lins¡¯ doubtful gaze. Goden Bran¡¯s stuff was all here. He was here. He lived here! Ava Lins arrived just in time to see Belli Tannu leave the room. Belli Tannu¡¯s eyes were red and wet, her chest heaving as if she wanted to erupt. But she copsed in front of him. Ava Lins rushed up, pulled out her phone, and dialed 911. Belli Tannu had chronic nephritis. If you don¡¯t get surgery, you¡¯ll get severe uremia¡­ What Ava Lins heard shocked her. Belli Tannu, so young¡­ Doctors said Belli Tannu¡¯s family was not suitable for transnt surgery. Ava Lins sat dazed in the hospital¡¯s long corridor. She feared Belli Tannu would die if she didn¡¯t get help. Death was too scary. She left before Belli Tannu woke up. She returned home and sat glumly for the rest of the day. She recalled Belli Tannu rescuing her when she was young, despite her own safety. She clearly remembered¡­ These guys chased her and Belli Tannu that day, but Belli Tannu ran away. When they realized they couldn¡¯t catch her, they turned to Ava Lins. Belli Tannu turned back just as Ava Lins¡¯ heart was breaking. She assumed Belli Tannu had returned safely home and never expected her to return to save herself¡­ She ran alone to her aid. That one moment affected Ava Lins, and she did everything she could to protect Belli Tannu. Who would think to help you? So Ava Lins recalled Belli Tannu¡¯s friendship with her. But she didn¡¯t think of saving Belli Tannu right away. She dreaded a kidney transnt. She needed a kidney transnt butcked the courage to go through the tests. Ava Lins felt she had let down Belli Tannu¡­ She was much weaker than Belli Tannu when she rescued her. She only saw herself¡­ She knew she had two kidneys and could live with one transnted. She grabbed the package and ran back to the hospital. Ava Lins went to Belli Tannu¡¯s ward after a series of tests. Belli Tannu couldn¡¯t believe Ava Lins would actually donate her kidney to him when she heard from the doctor that she had initiated an examination. Chapter 66 ¡°Don¡¯t worry, once the resultse out, your disease will improve. Besides, even a kidney transnt operation has a high sess rate,¡±Ava Lins said, sitting by the bedside. ¡°You¡¯re really willing to give me a kidney?¡±Belli Tannu asked, her eyes widening. ¡°I¡¯ll save you as long as my kidney is suitable, just like when you came back to save me, risking your own safety.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t I have a kidney?¡± ¡°Are you scared?¡± ¡°Risky operation.¡± Belli Tannu kept prompting, unable to believe Ava Lins could do it. ¡°I know, I know, but if I have a chance to save you, do you want me to watch you die?¡± said Ava Lins. ¡°I would have tried to save you, because you are a sister to me.¡± Belli Tannu thought Ava Lins was sincere, but she treated her like a fool. Suddenly, hope arose in her dead heart. She sat up, hugged Ava Lins, and pretended to cry. ¡°Thank you, Ava Lins, for treating me well.¡± But Belli Tannu was thinking: Ava Lins, you owe me so much, even a kidney from you can¡¯t be considered excessive, right? ¡°I don¡¯t agree with you! When Father told me this, I couldn¡¯t believe it! You didn¡¯t even treat Belli Tannu like this!¡± On the other end of the line, Omi Lins yelled, ¡°Do you know what your body will look like if you donate a kidney? The surgery also has risks, but the problem isn¡¯t the risks. Ava Lins had anticipated their reaction, but not Omi Lins, who usually backed her. ¡°I told you not to interrupt my business, You must study hard.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to have a pic with your ssmates on the mountain tomorrow? He then hung up. Father and even Omi Lins opposed it. Ava Lins dared not tell Goden Bran her choice. They were all acting strongly before the inspection report came out. Do they lock her up and prevent her from leaving if her kidney suits Belli Tannu? Next day. In his absence, many people yelled that there was no point in refusing, so Omi Lins followed everyone up the mountain. Everyone else was happy, except him, who was sad and worried about his future. He thought about it and called Belli Tannu. ¡°Belli Tannu, I¡¯m warning you not to hurt my sister again,¡± he fumed when the phone rang. No longer afraid of my sister¡¯s reaction, I will now reveal your true nature and ask her to save you. Belli Tannu had just received word from the hospital that Ava Lins¡¯ kidney was suitable for transntation¡­ He now heard Omi Lins. ¡°Omi Lins, listen¡­¡± she said quickly. It ended. No way could Belli Tannu let Omi Lins ruin this! A pic with her friends had been announced yesterday by Aya the damned girl. She had to find Omi Lins today and stop him from seeing her! Belli Tannu grabbed her Package and turned to leave, but Goden Bran stood behind her. When she tried to walk away from him, he grabbed her arm and asked, ¡°What is Omi Lins calling you for?¡± Goden Bran had no idea Ava Lins had given him a kidney, but her pale white face worried him. ¡°He wants to tell her sister that you and I are together,¡±Belli Tannu thought she couldn¡¯t hide it. ¡°Goden Bran, only Ava Lins can save me now, and only her kidney is suitable for me¡­ ¡°What did you say!¡±Goden Bran eximed, startled. The kidney? he said puzzled, his tone glum. ¡°She was the one who was willing to give it to me! What are you yelling at me for, now who¡¯s your wife? Goden Bran, are you going to watch me die?¡± She only wanted Omi Lins to not see Ava Lins before the operation. ¡°I don¡¯t want to argue right now, I need to find Omi Lins right away,¡± she said anxiously. Then she dashed out. Goden Bran was concerned but unsure why. He had the feeling something was going to happen, so he took the keys and drove¡­ Omi Lins was about to return when he realized he was close to the summit. A year ago, sister had brought him, the other sister, and Aya here, allowing him to see the entire city from the top of the mountain. ¡°Omi Lins, can you bring me here to paint next year? I¡¯ll work hard to learn painting this year, and next year I¡¯ll be able to draw as good as you.¡± His heart always felt bitter when he remembered that innocent smile¡­ They agreed to paint together that year. Now it was just him. Every time Omi Lins went out, he had a painting tool on his back. The strong wind whistling through the air at the top of the mountain. He sat on the ground, drawing on the easel. But he only saw the girl¡¯s innocent smile. He couldn¡¯t do it with thest stroke. Suddenly, he heard a car behind him. Omi Lins frowned and looked, but when he saw that it was Belli Tannu who got out of the car, he quickly got up and packed his things.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Omi Lins packed his easel and pretended not to notice Belli Tannu. ¡°Omi Lins!¡±Belli Tannu walked up, seeing his bad attitude, she didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment until Omi Lins carried his stuff and was about to leave. ¡°Leave!¡± Omi Lins sneered at her and sounded disgusted. ¡°Omi Lins, I didn¡¯t mean to hurt your sister, I feel terrible seeing her in pain, do you think I want to be like this?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve been looking forward to it every day?¡± snorted Omi Lins. ¡°Stop acting like you¡¯re my sister; I don¡¯t believe a word you say!¡± Omi Lins then tried to remove Belli Tannu¡¯s hand. Belli Tannu feared that letting him go would void her surgery. Then she¡­ ¡°No, you can¡¯t!¡± He held her. Do you and Ava like each other? I won¡¯t object to you two being together in the future, okay? Or maybe you want to be with her now. Then think about who would be the most upset if you went back and told your sister Belli Tannu? No, I don¡¯t want to lose that friendship. ¡°Let go!¡± Chapter 67 He tried to pry her hand away, but her strength was too great for him to throw her off. Her pulling tore off all of his paintings¡­ Goden Bran¡¯s car arrived just as they were pulling. Seeing them arguing, he opened the car door and ran over to pull Omi Lins. Then he said, ¡°Crazy woman,¡± to Belli Tannu. She was about to leave as she drew back her ripped clothes. ¡°No!¡± Belli Tannu walked up, grabbed Omi Lins¡¯ clothes, and yanked him backwards. A few steps back, Omi Lins lost his bnce due to her pull. Stepping on the edge, the stone under his feet loosened and rolled downwards. ¡°Ah¡­¡± he cried, sliding down the slope, one hand clenching the stone¡¯s edge. His entire body hung precariously on the edge, his entire weight on the stone in his hand. ¡°Help¡­¡± Belli Tannu was terrified and could only walk back. ¡°Omi Lins, hold on to me,¡±Goden Bran yelled, grabbing Omi Lins¡¯ arm. Omi Lins was already afraid of heights, so when he looked down and saw 30, 000 meters, his heart raced and his face paled. It was so high that falling meant death. He clung to Goden Bran¡¯s hand, struggling to climb the stone. Helpless, he rolled the stone, almost causing Goden Bran to slide down with him¡­ Goden Bran¡¯s face turned red and his arms¡¯ veins bulged as he pushed himself to the limit. But Omi Lins weighed an adult and he held it with one hand. A strong pulling force from Goden Bran¡¯s arm almost broke his hand. A scream came from behind him¡­ He was still holding onto his arm when he slid down. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn¡¯t stop Omi Lins from falling down the mountain¡­ Omi Lins¡¯ screams echoed¡­ Goden Bran was stunned, and Aya rushed over, her round eyes looking down¡­ ¡°Why did you kill him! ¡°, she screamed hysterically at Goden Bran and Belli Tannu. Goden Bran couldn¡¯t breathe because his throat felt stuffed with cotton. He couldn¡¯t believe his eyes¡­ Omi Lins, his brother-inw, disappeared instantly. The heavens seemed to have sensed the girl¡¯s heartbroken wails and began to pour down torrential rain in an instant. The bean-sized raindrops soaked their bodies and dripped into Goden Bran¡¯s heart, making him unable to breathe due to his chest being so heavy. Ava Lins panicked even more when she saw the heavy rain outside, causing her to lose focus. ¡°Do you have something on your mind?¡±Jeorge Milton asked, dropping hisptop and staring at her. ¡°Huh? ¡°No, I¡¯m just a little uneasy,¡±Ava Lins shook her head. ¡°I keep getting the sense that something is about to happen,¡± she said faintly, clutching her chest. Her phone rang as she finished.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Ava Lins grabbed her phone to take the call from Omi Lins¡¯ ss teacher, who imed Omi Lins had gone to the pic with his ssmates today, but no one could find him. When Ava Lins heard this, she rushed to say, ¡°No, Omi Lins didn¡¯te back.¡± ¡°I have important business to attend to, I need to go quickly,¡± she replied, dropping the items in her hands and grabbing the Package. She threw open the door and vanished before he could question. ¡°Go locate Omi Lins,¡±Jeorge Milton said, dialing David Irving¡¯s phone. ¡°He¡¯s in danger.¡± Ava Lins sat alone at the police station, waiting. She couldn¡¯t picture anything happening to Omi Lins¡­ He had spoken to her like a manst night, he couldn¡¯t¡­ She was soaked in rain when she arrived, and she sat here feeling extremely chilly¡­ Her eyes were puffy and reddening as she embraced herself and bowed her head. Suddenly, she saw a pair of men¡¯s leather shoes. Also crutches Ava Lins lifted her head and stared at Jeorge Milton, his walking stick in hand. ¡°I¡¯m terribly worried, where will Omi Lins go?¡± she wailed like a kid. He never does this, so his phone isn¡¯t off and no one can locate him.¡± ¡°It will be OK, don¡¯t think too much, hmm?¡± ¡°Who is Omi Lins¡¯ family member?¡± said a police officer worried. ¡°I am,¡±Ava Lins answered, wiping away tears from the corner of her eyes. ¡°These were found on the mountain summit, it is quite probable that the missing boy tumbled down the mountain,¡± We, will try our utmost to find him, however¡­ Be psychologically prepared, since chances of survival are slim. ¡± ¡°You said¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to believe it,¡±Ava Lins said, her eyes widening in shock. ¡°I¡¯m not going to believe it.¡± The cop grumbled, turned around, and departed¡­ The dam closed, and Ava Lins felt her heart wounded as she thought of the terrified Omi Lins sliding down the mountain. Omi Lins won¡¯t leave me, therefore I¡¯ll seek for him. ¡°Let go of me, I¡¯m going to go for Omi Lins,¡± she struggled as she said and was ready to depart. ¡°How will you find him now? Jeorge Milton yelled frantically to wake her. He extended his arms and embraced her fiercely, letting her weep as much as she needed. ¡°I¡¯ll help you find him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote to get to the mountain, Ava Lins, calm down.¡± He used all his might to hold her, and when he used it again, his left leg ached¡­ She was still able to take advise and didn¡¯t want to seek for him. His legs couldn¡¯t take the strain and he couldn¡¯t catch up to her. He wanted to return her, but she shook her head no. She feared being alone if she returned to that home¡­ She feared being alone and in agony if Goden Bran didn¡¯t return tonight. She couldn¡¯t face the empty room, just herself¡­ But she had no idea Goden Bran hade home and was smoking nonstop in his study. The ashtray was full with cigarette butts. As he coughed, his throat hurt and every nerve in his body ached. He hadn¡¯t switched on the lights and the home was dark. He sat at his desk all day, till it was dark and twilight outside. In the dim light, he could see his cigarette. It was engulfed in starlight and covered in smoke. Goden Bran¡¯s heart would race whenever he thought about Omi Lins. He couldn¡¯t face Ava. So he was even more guilty. Chapter 68 He scratched the ce between his brows, the moonlight gleaming on his pained and disturbed face. People constantly regretted not doing more after what had transpired. Maybe he stopped Belli Tannu, or didn¡¯t release go at the right time, and Omi Lins didn¡¯t fall. But it urred¡­ Goden Bran will never forget Omi Lins¡¯ look as he gripped his palm strongly. Mrs. Ben exited the room. Jeorge Milton looked in from the door and saw Ava Lins already sleeping. ¡°I¡¯ve told her so many things, but she simply disregarded me,¡± Mrs. Ben groaned. ¡°I¡¯m ready to sleep now.¡± When Mrs. Ben departed, she stopped at the door and stared behind her. She spotted her on the bed, her back to her. Jeorge Milton lowered his eyes and turned to go. Back in his room, he elevated and ttened his leg, wincing at the agony and the pallor of his lips. His injury should have been quiet. A little hup may have revealed a concealed risk. Jeorge Milton understood this situation would not be straightforward after today¡¯s events. Next day. When Jeorge Milton awoke, Ava Lins had already gone. She cleaned up the bedding in the guest room and went quietly. He worriedly observed the void. He wasn¡¯t sure she¡¯d ept this awful truth. Goden Bran was asleep on the couch when Ava Lins came to the vi. It was very chilly, yet he still wore just one shirt. She went closer and carefully ced his suit jacket over his torso. Just as she turned around, she was seized by the wrist. He had opened his eyes and was silently staring at her. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± he said as he sat up.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°Yes,¡±Ava Lins said, squeezing a grin. She had no idea how ufortable her grin made Goden Bran feel, to the point that he wouldn¡¯t even look her in the eyes¡­ He stood up, drew her close, and held her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± he hushed. Ava Lins mistook his apology for his absence. Her eyes were already red, enabling her to embrace him. When her phone rang, she finally pushed him away. She inhaled deeply and gripped the phone. She collected all her bravery to respond¡­ No corpse was located at the foot of the mountain, authorities added. The cops may only search for three days before giving up¡­ Ava Lins sat on the couch after hearing the other party¡¯s statements. She wanted to say something, but she couldn¡¯t find her voice. Goden Bran couldn¡¯t evenfort her as she cried. He could no longer stay cool. He felt guilty. He couldn¡¯t speak, so he just held her fast¡­ Swift n. Inside the room, a banging on the door was heard. ¡°Let me out, let me go see Omi Lins¡­¡± Aya was trapped in a home. No windows in this warehouse. She didn¡¯t have a phone, so she was cut off from the world. ¡°Miss, please quit ying about,¡± the doorman said. Just then, Belli Tannu strolled by, making noise. ¡°Watch her attentively,¡± she told the servant in charge of Aya¡¯s care. She couldn¡¯t let this tiny kid out. She had perfect vision. If the cops learned she murdered someone by ident, she¡¯d be put to death. Belli Tannu had no choice at this point. She could only go step by step for herself¡­ She had not anticipated this. She didn¡¯t want to murder anybody, especially Omi Lins. Because she had already taken this step, she would not wait for the police to investigate and arrest her. The sky became darker¡­ The little room was finally silent. Aya¡¯s voice was practically hoarse as she sat dejectedly beside the closed door, holding her final breath. ¡°Let¡¯s go¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go¡­¡± Her voice was so hoarse she couldn¡¯t hear. Nothing came out as she attempted to seal her mouth. Then the door opened. Locked Aya in the warehouse and risked expulsion. When she opened the door, she found Aya lying on the floor, so he immediately got her food and water. Aya sipped from the cup, as if she had found hope in the desert¡¯s water after almost dying of thirst. In spite of their separate moms, Miss and Miss are sisters. How could she treat you like this? ¡°Eat something, Miss Aya.¡± Aya thanked the servant, tears quietly streaming down her cheeks. How could she worry about food while the door was open? She pushed open the door and slid out. ¡°Aya!¡± The servant yelled and banged on the door, drawing Belli Tannu¡¯s attention. She dashed downstairs and saw the warehouse door open. She approached to see, but the individual was not there! ¡°I simply¡­¡± she said hurriedly, as the situation became out of hand. I¡¯d want to feed her. ¡± ¡°You sent her food! ¡± Belli Tannu smacked the servant in a fit of hysteria. Then she stared angrily at the servant, turned around, grabbed her keys,. It waste at night and the road was empty. Only two rows of street lights were dimly lit¡­ Aya ran¡­ With all her power, she struggled to flee that dreadful house. She knew she was close and didn¡¯t want to be pursued. If she returned, it would be dark. She grasped her chest and nced around. A phone booth stood in front of her! She rushed forward, pulled a penny from her pocket, and ced it into Ava Lins¡¯ phone. Listen to the interior noises¡­ BEEP¡­ Aya wept. Sister Ava Lins was worse than her. She couldn¡¯t stop crying as she imagined Omi plummeting from the mountain. She kept phoning Ava. The phone finally rang. Before she could even speak, Aya wailed hysterically. ¡°Aya?¡± ¡°Omi Lins, Ava Lins¡­¡± ¡°Sister Ava Lins, Omi Lins was in by my sister and Goden Bran, I witnessed them dispute, and Omi Lins, was shoved down.¡± ¡°What?¡± I was frightened of telling you, so my sister locked me up¡­ The phone unexpectedly went dead. She sought to withdraw additional cash but just had one penny. She could see Belli Tannu¡¯s car arriving. She raced away without making a phone call, her emotions tense. Belli Tannu reprimanded her, ¡°Damn girl!¡± She talked faster to catch up. Chapter 69 Belli Tannu had to stop her car on the side of the road, get out, and follow after Aya. Aya sprinted with all her might, sometimes looking behind, oblivious to a vehicleing from the opposite side of the road. The vehicle came around the corner as she hurried into the road, stunning her with its bright light¡­ Then came the piercing sound of tires grinding and shing in the dark¡­ Belli Tannu was horrified as she stood by the roadside, stunned by the vehicle collision she had just seen. Blood on the ground¡­ beneath the wheels When Goden Bran exited the bathroom, Ava Lins sat on the bed, expressionless. Her crimson eyes were full of hatred and inquiry¡­ ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he said, his heart stiff. He reached for her hand, but she pulled back, trembling. She had no idea what Aya meant. Belli Tannu? Why? This man saying sweetly to her, what was he hiding? ¡°Ava Lins, what¡¯s wrong? ¡± ¡°Are you sick? ¡°Still grumpy? ¡°I just ask you, does Omi Lins¡¯ matter have anything to do with you?¡± she murmured, her voice quivering violently.¡± This question blew Goden Bran¡¯s head. His rigid and pale face was as if someone had spoken it, and the tears he had been fighting so hard to hold back quietly slipped down his cheeks. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Why?!¡± ¡°Ava Lins, can you listen to my exnation?¡± ¡°You¡¯re mistaken. Just listen.¡± ¡°Don¡¯te near me!¡± she said as he approached her. Why did this guy, whom she adored, murder her brother? ¡°Goden Bran, I¡¯m afraid of you.¡± After that, she rushed downstairs and fled the mansion, crying. Silence, save for his heavy panting. Something pushed firmly on Goden Bran¡¯s chest, forcing him to be unable to breathe. He¡¯s terrifying, she said. Those words pierced his heart like icy darts. His body looked to have been drained of all vigor, and his heart was simrly hollowed out. She knew. Did it imply they couldn¡¯t go back in time? He¡¯d forgotten how it felt to weep, but what was that sour sensation in his heart? Ava Lins had nowhere to go. She hurried out in her PJs, destitute, with the cold wind stinging her¡­ It felt like tiny needles piercing skin and blood vessels. It had poured so severely in an instant that everyone was saturated in rain, and she couldn¡¯t distinguish which ones were tears and which were rain¡­ She stood there, soaked. A huge light appeared behind her. Then the car door opening. When Ava Lins turned around, Jeorge Milton was going up to her with his walking stick. He smirked and covered her head with the umbre. ¡°Why are you here?¡± she questioned, her voice strangled with passion. He sighed, gave her the umbre, took off his jacket, put it over her, and murmured quietly, ¡°I¡¯ve been here all along.¡± But she never noticed or saw¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he replied, wiping away the tears from Ava Lins eyes. Before starting the car, the driver saw she was soaking and turned on the air conditioner. He was always there. He was anxious and wanted to see what was going on. He noticed her weeping and rushing out from within¡­ Imagine Omi Lins sliding down the mountain and dying mysteriously. She couldn¡¯t sleep. ¡°Miss, can you look at Jeorge Milton for me?¡± Mrs. Ben asked Ava Lins as she headed down the stairs to say his farewell. He has a temperature. I need a doctor here. Can you care after him? ¡± ¡°Is he sick?¡± she wondered. ¡°He was coughing nonstopst night.¡± I¡¯ll go check on him this morning, he¡¯s sick.¡± ¡°Go get a doctor,¡±Ava Lins replied, seeing Mrs. Ben¡¯s concern. ¡°OK, OK, OK. ¡°Give him these tablets and water,¡± Mrs. Ben said, handing them to her. He won¡¯t consume the medicines if I tell him to. She grabbed the cup and tablets, feigned a grin, and turned around to head towards his room. While sleeping, he coughed sometimes. Emma Ellis entered and put the cup of water on the nightstand. ¡°Mrs. Ben, I have said I won¡¯t take any medication!¡± he added quietly. His tone was tinged with disdain for medical ¡°How could you recuperate in such a short period without taking medicine?¡± Ava said. Jeorge Milton spun around when he heard her. The gloomy expression on his face dissipated little when he saw her, but he coughed. He made a fist and coughed incessantly while holding it to his mouth. Every cough was ferocious. She gave him the water cup. ¡°Drink.¡± She attempted to seize his ss, but he held it with her hand. Jeorge Milton knew she would attempt to sidestep to get away from him. Ava Lins felt her hand was warm and strong¡­ His hands seemed to scorch her heart, yet she feared heat.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. She attempted to seem cool and unconcerned. Ava Lins¡¯ heart sighs just when he finishes the cup¡¯s water. ¡°I¡¯ll go get you another ss of water,¡± she responded, withdrawing her hand. He turned to go as he said¡­ ¡°Ava.¡± He yelled after her, his voice raspy. She didn¡¯t look around, but waited for him to say anything else. She returned with a cup of water and sat by his bedside. ¡°Mrs. Ben has already gone to seek a doctor,¡± she continued, handing him the tablet. ¡°I have some business to attend to,¡± she added, pausing but not lifting her eyes to his. And how they harmed Omi Lins. ¡°I can help hou.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going,¡± he murmured, passing her the cup of water as if she hadn¡¯t heard him. he asked for theputer. Ava Lins nodded at theptop on the living room tea table and noticed an envelope full of images. She hadn¡¯t intended to look, but the snapshot drew her in. Instead, she reached for the photos, took them out, and gazed at them, her heart tightening. Her tearful eyes mirrored the two in the picture, their grins piercing her heart and skin. She carefully scanned the photographs, all of which included Goden Bran and Belli Tannu¡­ kissing, handholding Chapter 70 The photographs dropped from her hands and smashed on the ground. She remembered everything, even the time she was downstairs, when Goden Bran held out his hand to rescue Belli Tannu¡­ She remembered Belli Tannu¡¯s visit to her new residence and want to flip the entire house¡­ ¡°You¡¯re simply letting go like this?¡± she questioned. You won¡¯t seek vengeance? ¡± First¡­ She was an idiot throughout. The joke was on others from the start, but she was a clown. She even went to check on him and rescue Belli Tannu. She was giggling, till tears filled her eyes. Jeorge Milton went out of his bed with his walking stick, and when he spotted the images on the floor, he grimaced. As she sat in the cab, she reflected on the preceding few days. Belli Tannu unexpectedly came home the night before her wedding and introduced her closest friend to Goden Bran. Then? But she did foolishly¡­ As the cab arrived at Belli Tannu¡¯s home, she saw Goden Bran¡¯s car parked below. She stepped up to the door and heard a fight. The hand poised to knock on the door froze. ¡°Yes, I shoved Omi Lins down,¡±Belli Tannu yelled from the opposite side. Isn¡¯t it selfish of me to expect him to go tell Ava Lins those things? You dare to tell that if Omi Lins informed us about this, Ava Lins wouldn¡¯t detest you forever? Don¡¯t worry! Undeniably, you were a wed man. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you pick him up? Why did you let him fall?¡± Then you may remain at Ava Lins¡¯ side as long as she understands that Omi Lins¡¯ death has nothing to do with you! ¡°You¡¯re insane!¡±Goden Bran said, flinging her hands and ready to go when Belli Tannu came up to embrace him. ¡°I won¡¯t say anything if you want Ava Lins at your side, okay? You can¡¯t leave me, you can¡¯t divorce me.¡± Belli Tannu feared divorce and losing everything. She had never been so angry with him, and she feared he would soon mention divorce. Goden Bran pulled her hand away and strode to the door. In front of him was Ava Lins hatred-filled re. His heart froze, and he wanted to say something but his throat seemed constricted with cotton, and he couldn¡¯t even breathe. Belli Tannu, who was behind Goden Bran, was stunned. Ava Lins forced a nce away from Goden Bran¡¯s face towards Belli Tannu¡¯s. ¡°Did you shove Omi Lins down?¡± she said, her voice trembling violently as she stepped forward. Ava Lins instantly realized why Omi Lins disliked Belli Tannu earlier. ¡°I now see why I shouldn¡¯t give you my kidney?¡± she sighed. Could you exin why you do it? I¡¯ve known you forever. Why did you do this to me? Why Goden Bran? What did he do? ¡± Belli Tannu didn¡¯t believe she done anything wrong since she already knew and didn¡¯t want to continue hiding. ¡°He went down himself, it is none of¡­ ¡°Pa¡­¡± Ava Lins¡¯ palm became numb and her whole hand trembled after a loud smack.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°You dare strike me?¡±Belli Tannu said, her face veiled. ¡°Not only will I strike you, but I will make you pay for Omi Lins¡¯s matter!¡±Ava Lins clenched her teeth and brushed away her tears. ¡°Omi Lins¡¯s! I¡­ No¡­ Will¡­ ¡°Just let it go!¡± Ava Lins said in a somber tone, attempting to keep back the tears in her eyes. Belli Tannu looked puzzled as she departed. She didn¡¯t need to ask further questions. In reality, she was an idiot who had been duped. Her stupidity had killed Omi Lins. Why would Omi Lins give a kidney to Belli Tannu? Goden Bran pursued her as she exited the hallway. He moved up to her to pull her away, but she ducked and red at him. The needle felt like it punctured Goden Bran¡¯s heart. He needed a lot of rest to find his voice. ¡°Let¡¯s chat, Ava.¡± ¡°What!¡± ¡°What else?¡± What about your great acting, shrewdness, and strategics? He was with her friend? She never believed he¡¯d lie to her again¡­ He was already married, but he treated her like a mistress and kept her close by. ¡°Isn¡¯t it fascinating to have two boats with one leg for a long time?¡± She understood he had been lying to her from the start. They lived so far away for fear of Belli Tannu finding out. He left the restaurant because he was frightened of running into his friends¡­ So she wouldn¡¯t know he was married, he asked her to quit. But he said everything was wonderful for her! What did they do? Her present demeanor made him powerless and sad¡­ ¡°Ava Lins, please listen; I didn¡¯t want to mislead you.¡± ¡°Not intentionally? ¡± If you knew all of this, you will leave me, therefore I can only do this. If I have even a smidgen of fake love for you, I will die. She shook his hand and smirked. ¡°You should¡¯ve died years ago!¡± That¡¯s why he wouldn¡¯t stand by and let Omi Lins die¡­ He caused it everything! Her words resonated in his ears. He should¡¯ve died long ago, she said. Goden Bran watched as she left him, exhausted. Late at night. Ava Lins returned to her old t and sat in the shower, letting the cold water in. She embraced herself fiercely, but felt no warmth. The authorities indicated Omi Lins had a little chance of surviving, and there was a deep river at the mountain¡¯s base. Her heart would ache so terribly whenever she thought about Omi Lins¡¯s death that she couldn¡¯t breathe. She was in the restroom when the building rang with sirens. Her neighbor¡¯s room was on fire, and smoke billowed everywhere. People were running for their lives¡­ Only she was still in the bathroom, dying. She also had no idea Jeorge Milton had mmed the door and yelled her name. The ze across the street grewrger andrger. Inside the home, there were noises of explosions. The fire had spread to the neighboring area¡­ ¡°Ava Lins!¡±Jeorge Milton yelled as he mmed the door hard. Thinking of anything happening to her drove him insane! Chapter 71 He pounded the door till the firefighter helped him open it. He entered and searched for her¡­ He saw the restroom door was open. When he opened the bathroom door, he found her sitting on the chilly tile, her face pallid from the cold water. It seemed like a pair of huge, unseen hands firmly held his heart, making him feel very uneasy. He couldn¡¯t wait any longer and rushed to her aid. Jeorge Milton rescued her from the smokey hallway with the aid of the firemen. ¡°How are you, are you hurt?¡± he asked, taking off his clothing and wrapping them over her. Ava Lins lifted her gaze to the sky. The fire was bing bigger and bigger, and the firefighters were doing their best to put it out. How hot was the fire? Her heart, her history¡­ She stared at Jeorge Milton, Just as she was ready to speak, her eyesight dimmed, and she lost consciousness. She fainted¡­ He reacted quickly and held his arm over her shoulders, preventing her from falling. The fire destroyed numerous residences, including Ava Lins¡¯ tiny t. The only items remaining were the pictures she had preserved in her cab. Jeorge Milton received the photographs. He opened the package and found several photographs¡­ The image came from a child¡¯s recollection. Jeorge Milton took one of her family photographs and focused on the person in it. So, in a family of five, thedy standing behind Ava Lins was¡­ His dark eyes narrowed as he fixed his deep stare on that woman¡¯s sweet smile. This is her mother. It was time to shut the box. ¡°Wait till Mrs. Ben wakes up,¡± he added, handing her the package. Mrs. Ben, shocked, took the package and nodded. He rose up. Her palm-sized face was pallid.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. He walked away, his eyes retracted. Ava Lins recently visited Belli Tannu. She didn¡¯t dare contact Omi Lins, and she didn¡¯t want to believe that he had departed. ¡°Kitty, it is up to you,¡±Georgesaid as he walked inside her chamber, seeing her sadness. After he finished speaking, he let go of the chain. Kitty appeared to grasp its master¡¯s meaning and objective, sprinting towards Ava Lins. He approached Ava Lins feet, circled around a few times, sat down, and lifted his head to face her. He yelled at her a few times, then leaned on the side of her foot and sat. Kitty with pure white fur was young and adorable. Especially its eyes, which were framed in ck, giving it the impression of a gentleman¡­ It drew Ava Lin¡¯s attention and she couldn¡¯t help but stroke its velvety fur. Kitty felt caressing it and came closer to her, making it more appealing. It knelt and caressed its head, touching its spectacles, then lifted its head high, not allowing her touch it. ¡°Where did youe from?¡± he asked, his lips twisted in a grin. She lifted her eyes and saw Jeorge Milton going away with his walking stick, and knew he had brought the dog here. To make her happy? He had not spoken to her for two days, but she knew he was quietly following her. She feigned not to know anything and didn¡¯t want to react. He scooped up the puppy and stroked its hair, her heart glowing with genuine affection. Ava Lins¡¯ mood had improved today with the dog¡¯spanionship, but she was still reluctant tomunicate. The sky became darker¡­ The puppy that had been on her bed had vanished, and when she walked downstairs, she discovered it by Jeorge Milton. The sole light in the living room was a dull yellow wall light, and Jeorge Milton was also hidden in the darkness. She was ready to return home when she heard a cough. Cough, cough¡­ One after another, he coughed as though from the lungs¡­ She nced up just in time to see him lift his gaze to her. Their gazes locked, and she saw sensations in his dark, fascinated eyes. He didn¡¯t say anything and just stared at her, making Ava Lins afraid to look him in the eye. She had always feared him. His eyes had always been fierce, straight¡­ As though he wanted to see into her soul. See her whole mind. She went to his side, taking the initiative to speak the first words, ¡°Stop drinking.¡±¡±Your health is bad.¡± ¡°You care about me? ¡°It¡¯s been three or four days,¡± he said sadly, as she didn¡¯t respond. That was your firstment.¡± He cocked his head and gazed at Ava Lins for a moment. He offered her a clean ss, poured half a ss of wine into it. He didn¡¯t ask Ava Lins if she wanted to drink, he simply calmly gave her the wine cup and stuck it out, as if he was wagering whether she would or not. Ava Lins first refused to swallow it, but seeing him insistently, she extended her hand. She took it, holding the wine cup in both hands. The wine¡¯s smell bewitched her nose, causing her palm to clench as she lifted it to her lips and swallowed it down. Her throat burned as the somewhat spicy liquid trickled down her neck. She waited, frowning, o¡­ ¡°Do you know how to y?¡± he asked, pulling a poker card from beneath the coffee table and cing it on the table.¡± ¡°Come, sit,¡± he murmured cleverly, as she shook her head and looked at him with curiosity. She sat alongside him and silently observed¡± ¡°I used to y when I couldn¡¯t decide. He paused and nced at her with a puzzled expression, then retreated his eyes and stopped speaking. ¡°So what if I can¡¯t figure it out?¡± she questioned, wanting to hear his response.¡± ¡°Then keep flipping till you get there,¡± he grinned, determined. Then Ava Lins nced at his side profile and saw a man who was very obstinate¡­ Whatever he determined to do, he would do it at any cost¡­ Ava Lins felt dizzy seeing his chilly face. And it¡¯s hot¡­ She didn¡¯t mind the disorientation and sat near him while he changed the tables. Jeorge Milton turned his head to look at her, only to see her red lips glistening, as if trying to seduce him¡­ Chapter 72 His throat clenched, and his whole body tensed. She staggered up and was about to leave, but her legs were too weak, causing her to sit back down on the sofa, where she fell into the crook of his arm, only to hear him say in a low voice, ¡°Let me help you up.¡± He helped her up the stairs, his arm around her waist. Ava Lins felt supported into the room, the door clicked shut, and she was ced on a soft bed. The hot water in her body made her feel uneasy, her breathing was uneven, and her eyebrows knitted together. Will you marry me? As she turned around, she found herself facing George. He reached out his hand and caressed her lips, which felt wonderful¡­ He squinted his hazy eyes and looked straight at Ava Lins, who felt someone caressing her lips. She could see him getting closer and closer¡­ Until she felt his breath and his big hand brushing her side hair. Ava Lins wanted to dodge when he kissed her, but he turned his body and pressed down on her. Then he took her face in his hands, making it impossible for her to escape, deepening the kiss. As if he was hungry¡­ As if he wanted to scent her. Her breathing became increasingly erratic, and her heartbeat increased¡­ The moonlight was hazy, and the orange light in the room added¡­ Everything seemed to be spiraling out of control. He was so arrogant he wanted to burn his aura into her memory so she would remember tonight! He wanted her to remember him, to remember him deeply! ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡±Ava Lins grabbed his hand and shook it. She wasn¡¯t used to this feeling¡­ He clearly wanted to refuse, butcked the strength to do so, and seemed to be anticipating something. So Jeorge Milton kissed her again and said hoarsely, ¡°Baby, give yourself to me¡­¡± He didn¡¯t let her resist or think because she had her eyes closed but wasn¡¯tpletely out. He smiled, a doting and gentle smile between his brows. She pounced and pulled the nket away from her body, then kicked it along with her clothes to the ground, causing him to scream in pain. ¡°Hmm?¡± Ava Lins was exhausted and unable to move. But she was dazed. She was exhausted and unable to lift a single limb. Her breathing cooled down, and she fell into a deep sleep. Jeorge Milton drew her into his embrace, his big hands caressing her long hair as he kissed her. His heart pounding, he embraced her, lowering his gaze to her blushing cheeks. On recalling the thrill of breaking through the membrane, he smiled. ¡°Did I find a treasure?¡± he asked quietly. He couldn¡¯t help but kiss her as he spoke. They both slept well that night. The moonlight was hazy, and the moon blushed as she hid in the clouds. The next day was particrly dark and gloomy. This winter had be unusually rainy and cold. The rain outside Jeorge Milton¡¯s window woke him up. His hands were empty when he moved them. His mind instantly became clear. He sat up, expecting to find her gone, when he found her sitting on the windowsill, hugging her knees, her back to him. Jeorge Milton sighed and looked back at her for a long time, his eyes slightly narrowed. She wasn¡¯t as flustered or shrieking as she used to be. This time, when they were truly in love, her expression was strangely quiet. It was so quiet he panicked. He got up and grabbed a towel nket. He hugged her from behind as he ced the nket on her shoulders. ¡°Why don¡¯t you sleep for a while?¡± he asked, lowering his head and gently stroking her shoulders. She didn¡¯t say anything, just stared out the window at the rain wriggling on the ss. Seeing her like this made him feel guilty. ¡°Marry me, Ava, and I will take care of you.¡± But Ava Lins couldn¡¯t feel it. ¡°Should I thank you? Thank him for cheating on her with her drunk? Or was she grateful to him for iming her first time? ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll marry you? Do you think I should thank you for being responsible for me and then happily marry you?¡± she asked, her eyes emotionless. Pulling her nket down, she stood up, walked to the wardrobe, took out her clothes, and walked silently to the bathroom. He was smoking a cigarette by the bathroom door when she came out. ¡°Shall we talk?¡± he asked, dropping his cigarette. Ava Lins lowered her eyes and voice.¡±What do we need to say?¡± She re-looked at him. ¡°It¡¯s only been one night¡­¡± I don¡¯t need you to apologize. Thank you for letting me stay here for so long. ¡± She tried to go once she finished speaking, but he grabbed her wrist. ¡°Whither?¡± She didn¡¯t respond since she had nowhere to go. ¡°Why not be my wife?¡± he mused, his voice trailing off. ¡°You don¡¯t like me that much?¡± He hoped that by getting her, he might at least keep her close¡­ ¡°Goden Bran, what do you have that makes you think about it like this!? I won¡¯t be any worse than him!¡± he said angrily.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°Ava Lins, don¡¯t you want to pursue justice for Omi Lins? Do you really believe you can do it yourself?¡± he said, pulling her back, pressing her against the wall. The man has done so much to you, and even murdered your little brother, do you still want to return to his side!? He yelled violently, as if to rouse her from her slumber. She¡¯ll have him witness her second marriage. ¡°If you marry me, I will assist you and I can do anything for you,¡± he added softly, looking into her eyes. As he said this, Ava Lins¡¯ chest wound started to hurt. She gazed at him, holding back tears. He was correct, but she didn¡¯t want to get involved. She stepped away, removing his hand. The room was silent¡­. He had overlooked her obstinacy. Only I can assist you¡­, he said to Ava Lins in the cab. Only I can aid! Maybe he was correct, but she didn¡¯t want to be tied to him. She arrived home to see Omi Lins¡¯ portrait on the wall, and her heart wrenched. Her father appeared to age instantly. She couldn¡¯t even admit that Omi Lins had been in, so she had to suffer alone¡­ Chapter 73 She had attempted to call herwyer for two days, but he had convinced her to quit up since she couldn¡¯t win the case. No witnesses, no proof. She had neglected to take her stuff with her when she left the legal office and returned to hear thewyer on the phone. ¡°I¡¯ve already declined her request; don¡¯t worry, she won¡¯t aid her in this situation.¡± Even a fool would recognize who was behind the scenes and be unable to find hope for her¡­ Ava Lins finally realized why she was always rejected bywyers. She eventually realized that money and power might be used to aplish many filthy things in this world. Even though she was wealthy, shecked influence. Who would defend her if she offended someone worse? The doctor imed Aya was still unconscious. Ava Lins nced up at the night sky and couldn¡¯t evenugh at him. She recalled Jeorge Milton¡¯s words: ¡°Only I can assist you!¡± Yes, he wielded power and authority. Who else in this city could aplish it? She slept tillte at night before going home. Goden Bran¡¯s vehicle was parked in front of her home as she entered thene. He leaned against the car. He met her eyes. It was just a few meters away. Her face was nk, and Goden Bran had no idea what she was thinking. Goden Bran looked at her and realized she had lost weight¡­ He watched her approach. She didn¡¯t seem to notice him. Goden Bran followed her as she walked by him, grabbing her arm and pulled her firmly. ¡°Leave me.¡± Her voice was cold as ice, devoid of feeling. ¡°Can you give me a chance to exin? Even if it¡¯s a death sentence, I have the right to defend myself.¡± When Ava Lins heard the word ¡°chance¡±, she smiled bitterly. ¡°You blew your final opportunity.¡± How brave was she to trust in him?This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?. But he still lied to her. Even though she still loved him, there were fissures in their rtionship¡­ It was difficult to shatter the mirror, and even if one did, there were profound fissures. She struggled to free his hand, but he held on tight. ¡°Just what do I need to do for you to forgive me? to get back to me?¡± he whispered hoarsely. Her heart ached. She let him question her, but she just gazed at him. Her obstinate and disdainful stare already gave her the answer. Never! Goden Bran felt dizzy just looking at her. He knew she was cold, but he didn¡¯t anticipate her to be that cold. ¡°I will wait, Ava Lins, even if I have to wait my whole life,¡±Goden Bran groaned. Those words were spoken. It seemed as though she would always end up with him¡­ ¡°Is that so?¡±Ava Lins grinned bitterly, as if exacting retribution. ¡± She refused to obey him¡­ She¡¯d make him see her marry another! ¡°Today is your birthday,¡± he said, sadly. He didn¡¯t want to hear what he had to say and went away. ¡® on my birthday, if there¡¯s any city that¡¯s snowing, can you bring me to see it?¡¯ He wanted to inform her that it had started snowing in London. Will she let him join her? His heart wrenched for a second as he realized he had recalled everything she had said. When Ava Lins arrived home, her father questioned, ¡°What happened? Your eyes stung? Goden Bran is outdoors. Will he bully you again? ¡± ¡°No, Dad, you should rest early,¡±Ava Lins shook her head and smiled. ¡°Happy birthday, Ava Lins. I¡­¡± Dad¡­ ¡°I get it,¡± she smiled, interrupting her father. With the loss of Omi Lins, who would want to celebrate their birthday? If Omi Lins were here, he¡¯d rush to a bakery on the city¡¯s north side to purchase her favorite cake¡­ She used to eat it every year, but she became sick of it. But she couldn¡¯t eat the cake Omi Lins handed her after this year. ¡°I¡¯m no longer young, why would I be celebrating a birthday? Rest early, Dad.¡± Ava¡¯s father sighed and returned to his room. As her father turned around, she nearly cried again, her nose bing foul. Try to stabilize your mood, and her mobile phone rings. it¡¯s George. She thought for a moment before pressing the answer button, only to hear his low voice ¡°Come down.¡± ¡°I¡¯m downstairs in your house. Hurry up. If I don¡¯te down in five minutes, I will go up to find you.¡± Before she could reply, he had already hung up. Ava Lins went to the window and saw his car parked downstairs. With an inexplicable mood, she went downstairs. After getting on the car, she was about to ask him what happened. Before she could ask her words, she saw a clear smile on his lips. Then she took out a cake box from the back seat of the car and put it on her leg. ¡°Happy birthday.¡± The softest part of Ava Lins¡¯s heart seemed to be hit hard. Almost as soon as she saw the cake box, tears filled her eyes. That¡¯s her favorite cake, ¡­ Tears welled up in my eyes. Suddenly, he took the cake and said, ¡°If I had known you would cry so sadly, I shouldn¡¯t have bought it.¡± Ava Lins quickly grabbed his arm. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± She wiped the tears on her face with her hand, but it seemed that she couldn¡¯t finish it. She took a deep breath, tried to press down the stinging pain in her heart, and picked up her knife and fork with trembling hands, trying to taste the cake. ¡°Wait¡­¡± ¡°Insert candles.¡± He said, then tore open the bag containing candles, and then pulled out the paper towel gently to help her face tears, ¡°birthday girl can¡¯t cry.¡± Said, and helped her wipe away the tears on her face. The shallow smile in her ck eyes made people feelfortable. Ava Lins watched him light the candle, carefully inserted it on the cake, turned off the lights in the car, and raised the cake in front of her. ¡°Come on, make a wish before time runs out.¡± Then she understood why he told her to go down in five minutes. Seeing that there are only fifteen minutes left before the early morning¡­ He came to celebrate her birthday? Chapter 74 Ava Lins looked at the candle¡¯s shing light, made a silent wish in her heart, and then blew out the candle. If I want to marry you, can you help me?¡± He raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t mind if I just want you to help me?¡± ¡°No mind.¡± ¡°Then can I have a request?¡± ¡°You say.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want a wedding, we just need to register.¡± ¡­ Now, there is no other way. He was silent for a long time, then held her hand, tightened her cold fingers, and said helplessly, ¡°OK.¡± ¡­ No wedding, no blessing, no one knows about marriage. She didn¡¯t even need to take anything. All the articles in the bedroom have be double, and there are more dressers and women¡¯s articles in the bedroom, which are filled with cosmetics and skin care products whose names she can hardly recognize. The wardrobe is also full of her clothes, which are bright in color and change her simple and elegant style in the past. Can those bright clothes make people look lively? In just two days, from the time they got the certificate to the time she lived in, he prepared so well. Today is the first day of her stay, but Geroge Milton has note back. She didn¡¯t wait for him, and she didn¡¯t want to wait for Goden as she did that day¡­ I shrank into the quilt early, but I was awake. Until the car sounded downstairs. Until the sound of opening the door came from behind him, and then he went to the bathroom. After going in for a while, he shouted inside, ¡°Wife, help me bring my pajamas.¡± She can¡¯t get used to this title, and she feels awkward. I didn¡¯t want to talk to him, but I couldn¡¯t resist his wife sentence by sentence¡­ She couldn¡¯t sleep, and she blushed. This man really shouts smoothly! ! She lifted the quilt, didn¡¯t know where his pajamas were, rummaged through it, found it, went to the bathroom, knocked on the door heavily, ¡°Open the door, don¡¯t shout!¡± When the door opened, she reached for her clothes and handed them in, only to be grasped by his wrist and pulled her in with a jerk. Ava Lins staggered and mmed into his arms. She flushed with anger. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Still want to run?¡± He leaned down¡­ and kissed inch by inch, so sentimentally attached. Ambiguous voices rang in the room¡­ Everything finally calmed down¡­ But he depended on her, and the scoundrel generally asked, ¡°Wife, did I hurt you?¡± Her face turned red and ignored him. He asked endlessly, ¡°Hmm? Does it hurt? Or is itfortable?¡± ¡°It¡¯s veryfortable not to talk?¡± Ava Lins was flushed by what he said, and reached out and beat him. ¡°Can you be serious!¡± He held her hand and kissed her fingers against his lips. When he saw that her fingers were still empty, he seemed to think of something. He rolled over and got out of bed, took out a box from his suit jacket, came to her side, kissed her forehead heavily, and then held her hand and overbearing the ring in the box into her ring finger. ¡°Don¡¯t take it off!¡± She looked at the diamond ring in her hand a little wooden, and the diamond shone with dazzling light¡­ ¡°When did you buy it?¡± He slightly hooked his mouth. ¡°I bought it casually today.¡± When she heard this, she looked up at him, and her heart was faintly lost. She looked at the loss on her face in her eyes, but he smiled and said nothing. Ava Lins turned her back to her, pulled the quilt tightly and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Geroge Milton leans over, pulls her into her arms and asks in a low voice, ¡°Angry?¡± ¡°No.¡± She lowered her eyes, she shouldn¡¯t have any expectations, shouldn¡¯t have lost¡­ He didn¡¯t exin, but kissed her on the cheek and said, ¡°Good night.¡± That night, Ava Lins unexpectedly slept very heavily, especially curled up against his arms. The down-to-earth feeling made her feel at ease and even a little infatuated¡­ Geroge Milton called and asked someone to pick her up for dinner. The driver politely opened the car door and said, ¡°Madam, sir is inconvenient to drive. I will wait for you at Taihe Hotel.¡± When she came to the hotel, Qin Ava Lins never thought she would see Goden when she got off the bus. He was standing with his back to her in the hotel lobby, as if waiting for someone¡­ Her heart, tight a few minutes, footsteps only hesitated for a few seconds, then resolutely stepped forward. As soon as she entered the revolving door, Goden turned around, surprised to see her smiling towards her, and even more surprised to see her change. Pretty pear flowers have shoulder-length hair and light makeup, especially when she wears an orange skirt. Orange especially mentions skin color, which makes her look like snow¡­ He remembered that she rarely dressed so brightly. Seeing her smiling and tender eyes, his throat choked and his heart almost stopped. Will she still smile at him? Is this an illusion? His heart surged and he was about to reach out, only to find that her smile was not on him, but¡­ Geroge Milton behind him. Watching her walk by and walk towards other men, Goden only felt a pair of invisible big hands tightly gripping his heart, which was painful and stuffy¡­ She treats him like air, walks up to Geroge Milton and takes his arm affectionately. ¡°Am Ite? Waiting for a long time?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve just arrived, too.¡± He raised his mouth slightly, not without noticing the deliberate smile on her face. ¡°Why did you cut your hair?¡± When he noticed her change, Ava Lins smiled and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t this good-looking?¡± ¡°No, it looks good anyway.¡± Heughed, hugged her and walked upstairs to the private room. Their voices, drifting away¡­ Goden can¡¯t look away all the time. He only feels that his blood is coagting¡­ She knew thest thing he wanted to see her with Geroge Milton ¡­ She was ¡­ Ava Lins, is this how you get back at me? ¡­ When he checked out at the counter, Ava Lins felt the air in the hotel was dull, so she went out and waited outside first. Today, the sun is very good, but the wind is very strong¡­ Blowing wantonly, she messed up her hair, and it was somewhat cold in herfort. Ava Lins stood waiting outside the hotel and heard footsteps approaching behind her. She thought it was Geroge Miltoning out, but turned around to find that it wasn¡¯t. She leaned slightly, her eyes changing from surprise to indifference, just like looking at a stranger. Then, she turned back, as if she didn¡¯t know him, with her back to Goden, and her face was very good, but her heart was pulled tightly. However, the more you are afraid of what you face, the more it will happen. Just as she doesn¡¯t want to face him, he walks up to her and asks, ¡°Waiting for Geroge Milton?¡± Ava Lins clenched her lip and said, ¡°Mm-hmm.¡± Goden had never seen her so MoMo. She looked like she was separated from him by Chung Shan Man, which made him unable to approach. He wanted to calm down, but when he thought of her with Geroge Milton, he couldn¡¯t control his emotions. He reached out and grabbed her arm. She seemed to feel it, quickly avoided it, and cast a wary and indifferent look at him. ¡°Please respect yourself.¡± ¡°Self-respect?¡± Heughed at himself and said bitterly, ¡°Ava Lins, I know you resent me, hate me for lying to you, hate me for not saving Omi, but you can¡¯t spoil yourself like this. You don¡¯t love that man at all, but you are with him in order to get back at me? Are you doing this to make me ufortable?¡± ¡°If you want to get back at me, there are many ways. I really don¡¯t want you to do this. Geroge Milton is not a man you can grasp at all, and he is not suitable for you.¡± Her indifference to him alone is already cruel revenge¡­ Everything Geroge Milton has now, sooner orter, will be destroyed in his hands. He didn¡¯t want to see her get involved¡­ Ava Lins looked up at him and smiled sarcastically. ¡°Not suitable? Then who is suitable for me, are you?¡± ¡°Even if he used me and threatened me, he never concealed anything. What about you? Goden, what did you do?¡± She tried her best to suppress her emotions and didn¡¯t want to make any jokes at the entrance of the hotel. Take a deep breath and stop looking at him. ¡°I have nothing to say to you. Please don¡¯t pretend to be close to me to control my life. Whether Geroge Milton and I are suitable or not has nothing to do with you!¡± ¡°Will you stop this? I don¡¯t want to see you hurt again.¡± He reached out and took her shoulders. ¡°Ava Lins¡­¡± ¡°You let me go¡­¡± Ava Lins struggles, but she can¡¯t pull his hand at all. ¡°Let her go!!¡± Suddenly, her familiar voice sounded. She looked up and saw Geroge Milton striding forward. As soon as she grasped Goden¡¯s arm and pushed it away, she took Qin Ava Lins in her arms and asked in a low voice, ¡°Are you all right?¡± She shook her head as she gripped the arm red by Goden. Geroge Milton holds Ava Lins in her hand, looks at Goden with ck eyes, and her eyes are somewhat cold. ¡°Goden , it is guilty to harass other people¡¯s wives in public.¡± ¡°Ava Lins, who is now Geroge Milton¡¯s rightful wife, please stop speaking ill of me in front of my wife. Do you know what it is to deliberately sabotage a military marriage?¡± Geroge Milton¡¯s words are like a bomb. Goden¡¯s world copsed, her head was nk, her heart was stuffy, and she looked at Ava Lins in disbelief. Ava Lins avoided his eyes, but the ring on her hand already exined everything. At this time, Geroge Milton¡¯s car was being driven out by the driver and stopped slowly beside them. Geroge Milton opened the door and let Ava Lins get on. She could feel Goden¡¯s eyes following her all the time, but she could only turn a blind eye. I didn¡¯t feel good when I got on the bus. I looked out of the window silently until he held her hand and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Ava Lins shook her head and suddenly remembered what he had just said. ¡°What did you just say about military marriage? Are you a soldier?¡± His lips evoked a shallow smile, tightened her hand and said, ¡°It used to be.¡± ¡°When did it happen?¡± She really didn¡¯t see that a man like him had been a soldier? Geroge Milton took her into her arms and said, ¡°What, do you think your husband is very good? But that¡¯s all in the past, so there is nothing to mention.¡± Heughed and seemed reluctant to talk about the past. Ava Lins didn¡¯t think about it, thinking that maybe he might retireter. But her heart also gradually bred questions, what kind of person was he before? How can you be cynical? ¡­ When he got home, he went into his study. When Ava Lins went upstairs, she saw his closed study and wondered what he was busy with. In her memory, he doesn¡¯t care about the work of Guangxia Group at all. Kitty got dirty somewhere and ran to Ava Lins¡¯ feet and rubbed her cleverly. When Ava Lins sees it, she will be in a good mood. She squats down and rubs its hair. ¡°It¡¯s so dirty, can I wash it for you?¡± Said, then took Kitty to the bathroom, put water to give it a bath, and made it covered in foam. Kitty seemed to enjoy this feeling, squattingfortably, looking up and letting her scrub. Suddenly, it dumped its hair mischievously, and Ava Lins, who dumped the foam on her body, was all over her body. ¡°Ah ¡­ you little wretch!!¡± She turned her face, reached out to block the foam thrown by Kitty, and her lips smiled. Little Kitty¡¯s hair is wet and pulled down, and she looks so cute that Ava Lins can¡¯t help holding her head. ¡°You are really naughty, and I am covered in foam!¡± Kitty looked at her and ran to the bathroom door. Ava Lins looked around and saw Geroge Milton standing at the door, slightly bent and fondling Kitty¡¯s hair. He seems to be born with a kind of monarch style, I¡¯m especially sure of taming this alert thing, I saw him lead Kitty to her side. He sat by the bath, took the shower shower from her hand, and washed it along Kitty¡¯s hair. The corners of his mouth evoked a clear smile. ¡°When you bathe Kitty in the future, don¡¯t rub his hair. You just have to wash it like this. The more you rub it, the more foam he will make you.¡± He looked up at her with a smile in his eyes. When Ava Lins heard that Geroge Milton was called Kitty , she couldn¡¯t helpughing and asked, ¡°Why call him Kitty ? Isn¡¯t it male?¡± ¡°No way, it likes the name.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe you call it Kitty , see if it will go to you.¡± Ava Lins didn¡¯t believe that Kitty would like this name. She gave a tentative cry, and Kitty walked to her side from Geroge Milton. It squatted on the ground, looking at Ava Lins eagerly, which made Ava Lins smile on her lips. They bathed Kitty together, and while Geroge Milton dried her hair, Ava Lins bathed and changed her nightgown. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw his eyes falling on herself, burning. Kitty left in a smart way. Ava Lins sat in front of the dresser and loosened the hair on the te. Shoulder-length short hair was scattered on her shoulders. There was some different beauty in the mess. She looked up at the mirror of the dresser and looked at his ck eyes like a deep pool. Does he always like to stare at others like this? Those eyes, like with scorching temperature, can burn her all over ufortable. Ava Lins pretended not to see it,bed her head absently with ab, and suddenly saw himing towards herself. Standing behind her, she bent slightly and opened her arms, and then held her whole person in her arms, allowing her fragrance, and said in a low way, ¡°Do you know what will happen if you make yourself so fragrant?¡± His hot breath tickled her neck. Before he could react, he leaned down and kissed her lips. She deeply felt that he was really a hunter¡­ Yan master¡­ A little ambiguous action, the appearance of deliberately pulling out will make your heartstrings slightly chaotic¡­ She didn¡¯t like her panic, deliberately avoided it, slightly tilted her head, didn¡¯t let him kiss her, took his hand, deliberately tried to divert the atmosphere, and asked, ¡°Let¡¯s not go out at night? What do you want to eat, I¡¯ll cook it.¡± I didn¡¯t know that he was going to let her go. His lips fell on her sensitive auricle and deliberately breathed. ¡°I just want to eat you.¡± Said, but also deliberately bite under her earlobe, see her face with shame powder, now can¡¯t help holding her face, deep kiss down. His kisses have never been gentle¡­ As if eager to devour her¡­ It was not until her breath was unstable that his lips rose slightly,. Slender fingers interspersed into her soft hair, like that kind of smooth touch, as if gently sliding over his heart tip, crisp, limp and numb, leaving traces that can¡¯t be erased. She dropped a kiss on her forehead. ¡°Didn¡¯t you mean to cook for me?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t go, I¡­¡± ¡°I will go now!¡± Ava Lins was afraid that he would continue, so she said hastily. Under his slightly smiling eyes, she got up and went downstairs. In the afternoon, the sunset is all over the sky¡­ The golden light fell down the window and on Geroge Milton¡¯s shoulder. He sat on the sofa, flipping through the newspaper in his hand, and his aggressive facial features were hidden in the light, which made him look more clear. Ava Lins is cooking. When she looks up at him so seriously, she still can¡¯t slow down. Is she really married to such a man? For the first time, she chose a man she loved and a loving marriage, so she loved humbly and spineless. Even if the man deliberately designed it, he waited for her to make trouble, but she didn¡¯t even have the courage to make trouble. She still remembers hurrying to Goden¡¯s apartment and seeing the underwear on the sofa¡­ At that moment, what she thought of was escape, because when she opened her mouth, she could never be redeemed. She thinks she can do what do not care, what can be forgiven, after all, she is overestimated themselves, to really do forgive, how easy? With a bitter smile on my lips, I look at Geroge Milton again. How long can this marriage without lovest? Suddenly, Geroge Milton looked up slightly, seemed to feel her eyes, and looked up at her. Ava Lins¡¯ heart panicked, and immediately looked away, pretending that she was doing something else, but didn¡¯t look at him. Even if she disguised herself well, her face was gradually heating up. That kind of feeling, as if he caught her peeking at him¡­ In my heart, there is a subtle feeling spreading quietly. Geroge Milton¡¯s mouth evokes a shallow radian, puts down the newspaper, picks up another political¡­ governance newspaper, and sayszily, ¡°If you want to read it, read it aboveboard, I am yours, and I don¡¯t charge you money, so I don¡¯t have to secretly read it.¡± Said, and looked up at her with a smile in her eyes. Sure enough, when he saw her face, it turned red, as if she were being said, and he said hard, ¡°Who is looking at you, boast.¡±Property ? of N?velDrama.Org. As soon as her voice fell, she quickly turned around and pretended that she was busy with something else. Geroge Milton likes to see her nervous and shy, which seems to prove that she is notpletely indifferent to him. Thinking of the anger she felt when she first met her, the smile on his lips gradually deepened, and some feelings in his heart gradually became clear with the erosion of time. He put down the newspaper, got up and went upstairs. ¡°I¡¯ll take a bath and call meter.¡± Ava Lins looked behind him and found that there was still something wrong with his left leg when he walked. Although it didn¡¯t affect anything, she didn¡¯t know how he hurt it. Dinner is three dishes and one soup. Two people always eat quietly. In the past, they rarely sat down to eat with Goden. Goden didn¡¯t like to talk when eating, and only heard the voice of Qin Ava Lins until she said that she felt bitter¡­ Now, however, this situation has be different. She has be silent, which makes Geroge Milton talk a lot. He can even ask, ¡°Do you want to go to bed after dinner or watch TV first?¡± ¡°Poof¡­¡± She almost sprayed rice and stared at him. ¡°Geroge Milton, can you be caught in the brain by sperms all the time!¡± Can¡¯t he think of something else? He smiled. ¡°Aren¡¯t we newly married? Besides, there are many things you can do in bed. What do you think of? Hmm?¡± Heughed treacherously, and Ava Lins blushed and stuffed the ribs into his mouth. ¡°You¡¯d better eat and don¡¯t talk.¡± The night is dark and boundless. The sound of broken cups sounded in the huge vi. I saw red wine all over the ground, and fragments fell¡­ Goden became more and more annoyed when he remembered the diamond ring on her hand. He leaned back on the sofa, his head hurting. Her slightly hateful eyes, like knives, blew on her heart with the cold wind. If he can, he really hopes that he can let go of all hatred and simply stay with her. It would never be possible to lose her ¡­ But now, she is married to someone else. Goden leaned back on the sofa, his brows frowning all the time. He looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, and the bright ss shone with dazzling light, which made his eyes full of water and light¡­ In his memory, his father kept running away with them because someone wanted to kill them and someone wanted to persecute them¡­ Thepany closed down, fled around, and finally couldn¡¯t hide from that terrible car ident¡­ Since then, home is not like home, without any warmth, suffered all kinds of insults, and the world said that his father was a drug dealer and deserved his death. Only he understands that his father is only taking the me . He has always lived in the shadows with hatred, in order to be strong one day, topete with each other and to regain everything he lost. But now, his career has started, and he is getting closer and closer to that step. Why is his heart hollowed out? The mobile phone rang aside, and he fumbled to pick it up. The name on the screen of the mobile phone made his mood more dull. He threw away the mobile phone and tore open his tie hard. He will keep everything in this house for her, believing that one day, she wille back¡­ ¡­ Ava Lins was awakened by a nightmare, dreaming that Omi fell down the mountain and shouted her name¡­ ¡°Sister, save me¡­¡± ¡°Omi¡­¡± ¡°Omi!¡± Ava Lins wakes up with tears from the corners of her eyes, shouting Omi¡¯s name and disturbing Geroge Milton. He pulled her into his arms and patted her on the back. ¡°Have nightmares?¡± Ava Lins seems to have failed toe out of the sadness in her dream, and her tears can¡¯t stop falling. She cried in his arms for a long time before falling asleep in a daze. That kind of dream, the dream is very real, as if it had just happened¡­ Wake up crying from my dream, and I can¡¯t get out of my sadness after waking up. Geroge Milton saw tears in the corners of her eyes and wet hair on her temples. She wiped her tears with distress, hugged her tightly, and patted her back like a child until she fell asleep again¡­ Geroge Milton gently dropped the kiss on the hair above her head, with an imperceptible sigh in her throat. ¡­ She didn¡¯t have much hope for this marriage, so she didn¡¯t care. She thought that even if he had the fragrance of other women, she could turn a blind eye, because she didn¡¯t want to interfere in his world. There was only a rtionship between them. However, not only did he not phndering, but he went home after work for several days. Even outside, he sped her hand without avoiding suspicion. Everyone grinned and introduced, ¡°This is my wife, Ava Lins.¡± She wants to go out to work, and he doesn¡¯t object. Instead, she encourages her to open her own studio . . The pain of losing Omi gradually faded, ¡­ Ava Lins thinks Goden must be enjoying himself now. She knows that hispany is getting bigger and bigger, and his status is no longer an annual sry of millions. Now he can make a profit of tens of millions just for a project, let alone a year. He often attends various asions, and sometimes he can even be seen on TV. f? She looked at the man in the magazine stupefied, and her heart was somewhat sour. She continued to hold her magazine and read Goden¡¯s brilliant entrepreneurial process. Suddenly, she saw a line of words, ¡°Goden¡¯spany is developing rapidly, and people in the industry are optimistic about hims.¡± Suddenly, the voice appeared from behind, which made Ava Lins dazed for a moment, staring at him when he hade in, and standing behind her with a smile. Geroge Milton stepped forward, hugged her and spoiled her. ¡°Let¡¯s put aside work and have dinner with my grandfather in the evening.¡± ¡°Your grandfather?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± They had a happy lunch with his family. It was not until midnight that Geroge Milton asked leisurely, ¡°Wife, are you asleep?¡± She replied in a daze, ¡°Hmm.¡± He leaned up to look at her and saw that her eyes were closed. He stopped talking, but held her tightly and let out an imperceptible sigh in his throat. Unconsciously, they have been married for a month. She gradually came out of the pain of losing Omi, only asionally having nightmares. When she woke up the next day, she would stay for a long time. One day, he couldn¡¯t help but raise her chin, let her look at herself, and ask word by word, ¡°I will always help you with Omi¡¯s affairs, but if one day you watch Goden lose everything he is now, do you want me to continue?¡± He was trying to test how much weight Goden had left in her heart. As long as Ava Lins thinks of Omi¡¯s real cry for help in every nightmare, she feels like a thorn in her heart. She hates that man who killed Omi are so happy now, even getting better and better¡­ Gripping his teeth, ¡°Why don¡¯t you continue?¡± ¡°Do you think I will be soft-hearted?¡± Ava Lins smiled bitterly. ¡°I won¡¯t be soft-hearted, that¡¯s what they owe Omi.¡± Hearing her words, Geroge Milton had mixed feelings in her heart. He can¡¯t say what words he should use to describe his present mood. He only knows that that day may really happen¡­ And can she really be the same as she is now? Want him to continue? Or, will you intercede for Goden? ¡°I will never let him go,.¡± ¡­ Three yearster. Goden¡¯spany bankrupted because of the scandal of the murder, and Belli was sent to prison.
