Chapter 395: Return To My House
"We all would suffer hell." the words echoed in Nora’s mind for a while. A light image of her in her past life overlapped with Ava. no! She was not physically abused! She would not be killed by them. Nora shook off that feeling and stabbed the dessert on the table.
"I have finalized a house for you. If you want to come and look, we can make the decision immediately." Nora smiled as she knew Ava was changing the topic. Yet she welcomed the offer and they both stood up to visit the new house.
In the car, there was a strange suffocating silence.
"You look ashen!" Ava remarked. Nora looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
"I just thought that I was strong enough. But that did not seem to be the case." Ava was stunned. She had thought Nora would not worry further if she explained the consequences after all, it is human nature to take a step back seeing danger.
"You are just too kind." she patted Nora’s back. "To the limit that you take others’ worries as you. It is not your fight." Nora nodded instantly, leaving Ava silent.
"Yes, but it is your fight and you are family. If you are determined, you can fight him. You are living with him for so long, you know all the secrets. How could you not have advantage against us? And as long as it is about your family, I am sure Alric will support you." Ava laughed at Nora’s naivety and shook her head.
Yet her mind wandered on those words. Did she know enough secrets? She knew everything about Steve since he never took attention of her presence and discussed things he wanted to without a care.
"I will think about it. Aah, we have already reached it!" Ava opened the door and Nora walked out. But she paused when she saw the house.
