Chapter 184: I Have Chosen You
"Alex did not suffer an accident. He has taken drugs. He.." Amaya was stunned. She had thought Alric would be reluctant to tell the truth to his mother since he cared about her most.
She was not in good health, so Amaya was sure, Alric did not want to worry her. But to think that he would inform her again! She was sure it could be a trump card she would use in the future. But now, it is gone just like that!
Her hands clenched tightly around the purse she was holding. Her eyes were cold and dark. No matter how she tried to take advantage of this man, he would throw her off balance. It had never happened with anyone else but her eyes had set on Alric for a long time.
She had already placed the net. No matter how much he struggles, the end result would always be the same. He was destined to be with her.
Ava closed her eyes. It felt like ages had passed when she opened them. She stood up without saying a word.
"Aunt wait!" Amaya shot forward. This could be her golden chance. The woman was weak, Alric was not sympathizing with her. She would use this chance to strengthen her position but before she could take a step forward, Alric held her by her wrist.
If it had been any other day, any other situation, Amayra would have danced with joy for his initiative. But now, she only frowned and struggled.
"You are not going to follow her!" His voice was like an icy blade that touched her neck and she shivered. Could it be that he knew something? No! She had covered her marks well. No one could not know about it. She masked anger to hide her anxiety.
"What do you mean? I have never expected that you will tell her the truth, Alric! Do you not care about her at all? She needs someone to support her." Alric’s eyes dimmed as he nodded but he did not let her hands go.
