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 glass.
The next day.
As her grandma’s daughter-in-law, 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 newcomer’s words of consolation, 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-in-law because she wanted to understand her mother-in-pain law’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 glanced at her grandmother’s black-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 relax.”
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 relax?
“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 accustomed to.”
Goden Bran’s face was frozen.
It’s not something I’m accustomed to.
He felt a faint, wordless sense of remorse, and he opened his lips, trying to explain 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.’Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
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.
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 a large number of men present.
He had to place 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 glance, 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?
