Ava Leon paused when he heard Adrian’s words. This fellow is a top notch rascal. They’ve agreed to keep it silent until it’s over. So why is he announcing it to the entire family now?
She should have known that he is an asshole. There isn’t a single thing good about the spoiled brat. Anyways, she’s not afraid what their reactions would be, after all, they’ve all silently hope that she leaves their family quickly.
“And as it is, I had already informed my lawyer to prepare the paperwork as soon as possible,” He added. This is what he’d been waiting to hear from her for a long time.
And now, she made it happen on the platter of gold without stress. He doesn’t want her to remain another day in the Lester family if it were possible, but now, he’d have to wait until the lawyer gets through with it.
He was still thinking about it when he saw his mother stood up suddenly in fury and went over to Ava, slapping her across the face.
“Just stop it, Anna” Richard bellowed. Why can’t she see that Ava had tried putting up with Adrian and only requested a divorce when she could no longer take it?
“Common Richard, can’t you see that this woman here thinks too highly of herself to ask Adrian for a divorce? Who does she think she is, this commoner from the bloodline of pumpkins…”Anna scowled.
“That’s not enough for you to hit her” Richard reprimanded her. Ava has a right to her freedom. If she doesn’t want to remain married to Adrian, she has every right to demand for a divorce.
The only thing he wished she’d done back then, was to refuse to be married to his son in the first place. She wouldn’t have spent two years of her life so miserably.
“It is enough for me to pull her by the hair and drag her around this whole Mansion. She never deserved Adrian in the first place. And now, it’s not in her place to decide the shot” Anna seethed.
How dare she conceive the idea of getting divorced from her high class son, when he condescends so low to marry a low class pumpkin like her?
“What exactly do you want, Anna? You never accepted this girl as your daughter in-law. You never gave her the right hand of being a co- daughter in-law of the Lester family.
Now, she wants to leave, get her life back and begin again, and you hit her? Why did you do that? Did Richard’s mother ever treat you that way since you were married here?
Did you receive this kind of harsh toxic treatment from your own mother in-law? You only think about your son and didn’t realise that she is also someone else’s daughter?
What wrong had she now done to deserve the slap? This is the last time you will disrespect Ava Leon in this mansion again. If you have forgotten your place, I’ll remind you that both of you are in the same category: daughter in-laws of the Lester family” Old man Lester declared.
Anna Lester wore a long frown and walked away and of course that was after passing Ava an irritating stare.
The breakfast that morning had been ruined. Adrian was angry that his grandfather could talk to his mother so harshly because of this woman?
Why is everything going in the wrong after Ava Leon stepped into their home? Grandfather treats his mother like the apple of his eyes and dotes on her.
But because of Ava, he ran her down with his words. He wants her to leave his family as soon as possible. She’d overstayed her welcome.
“Ava, I can only congratulate you for taking the right decision. There are limits to what people can take but you went beyond your limits until you almost lost your life.
I’m sorry that I had to see you go through so much pain in this house. How can I have known that my son would also forget why everything should go this way.
And if he doesn’t understand or refuses deliberately to remember and understand, how will my power drunken and wealth intoxicated grandson do?
May you find true happiness my daughter. Once you get the papers, sign it and be happy again. But never will I bring my old face before your father again” grandfather Lester declared and gently took the stairs back to his room.
Obviously no one had a proper breakfast that morning. Nothing seemed to be alright in that family after then.
Without waiting anymore, Ava Leon stepped out. She needs to see her parents again. She wants to prepare their minds for any eventuality. She cannot remain in that loveless family who only thinks, talks and knows wealth.
Adrian walked after Ava Leon and stepped out before her at the threshold. He turned and glared at her with utmost detest “You’re the worst mistake my family ever made” he stuttered.
Ava Leon chuckled softly and stared at him without blinking “And you are my worst nightmare. Your family is a place where no woman should ever desire to be, and you’re the product of loveless genes that fused together, Adrian Lester” she snared and walked away before he could taunt her again.
“Ava Leon!!” Adrian thundered, his veins popping out and his palm formed a fist. He feels like choking this pumpkin to death to refer to his parents as carriers of loveless genes.
