Chapter 81 True Identity
Yes, it was the beach where she spent the night with Noah. The wind was not strong tonight, and there was no full moon hanging in the sky, and on the other side of the sea, there was a borderless darkness, so similar to her own future, with no future in sight.
Ava wrapped her coat tightly and saw that the cold drink store where she used to work was still open, and there were many people chatting outside, almost all couples, and also many tents had been set up on the nearby beach.
Ava went to the cold drink store. The owner of the cold drink store was surprised to see Ava, because Ava and Noah came here last time, their business has been booming recently, it is all because of Ava.
“Gee, Ava ah… why are you here so late? Do you want to use the tent? I’ve put up your last one for you.” The owner of the cold drink store was very enthusiastic and busy with his hands again, making a cup of mango juice for Ava.
Ava shook her head, she was tempted to squeeze out a smile and tell the cold drink store owner that she just came over for a spin, but tried hard but didn’t squeeze out a smile: “Boss Ding, last time were very grateful to you, this time I won’t bother, I was a little tired from studying, so I just stopped by for a spin, still, thank you for the mango juice, but I have to pay you for this cup of mango juice. ”
The cold drink store owner waved his hand: “No, no, no, how can I take your money, my business, as you can see, is very good, this one, my treat.” The cold drink store owner rubbed his hands and looked into the distance, Ava knew what he was looking at, he was looking to see if there was Noah in the distance.
“That… Chairman Brown did not come along?” The cold drink store owner asked cautiously.
“No, I’m on my own, thank you Mr. Bob, I’ll go sit on the beach for a while.” Ava turned around and left the small store after saying thank you with a cup in her hand.
It’s not that she’s indifferent, about that man, she doesn’t know what to say, does she say, the story of herself and him? Can not, what is more, she would not like to think of that man.
The owner of the cold drink store thought she was angry with Noah and advised behind her, “Hey, it’s normal for a couple to quarrel, but you can’t stay away from home for too long, Chairman Brown will be anxious…”
Ava only heard this and nothing else, and she sat down on the beach with her mango juice.
In the distance, it was still dark, and not even the shadow of the ship could be seen.
Turn your head, in the distance are a couple of couples and tents, although there is no moon, but the sky is full of stars, but also very bright.
Ava put the mango juice in her hand steadily, then lay down with the cap on her sweatshirt, and realized that it was really nice to lie down and watch the stars.
Never have I ever been so relaxed, counting the days when I used to be until now, when I have felt this way. The time is your own, the space is your own.
“That one is Cancer, that one is Cassiopeia, and that one should be Chiron… Wow, the Milky Way is really clear today.” Ava pointed her finger at the galaxy in the sky and drew each constellation herself.
“All by yourself, aren’t you afraid?” A boy fell from the sky, a handsome face blocking Ava’s view.
Ava was lying on the beach, not expecting a person who would suddenly block her view.
A closer look reveals that it is Liam!
Ava hurriedly tried to sit up, but her head hit Liam’s lowered forehead, “Ouch!” Ava covered her forehead, Liam also rubbed his forehead, “You, why are you still so reckless sometimes?” He said he was blaming, but his tone was full of doting.
Ava couldn’t care less about the pain in her forehead, sat up, took Liam’s arm, looked around, looked at his face, looked at his arm, leaving Liam a little baffled.
“What are you looking at?” Liam asked curiously.
Ava then put his mind at ease, it’s okay, Liam is not missing an arm or leg, everything is okay.
“Brother Liam! What have you been doing all this time? I can’t find you, I really miss you!” Ava hugged Liam.
“I ah, some things to do… so I have not been in touch with you, are you okay?” Liam stroked the hair of Ava who was hugging him.
“Not good, not good at all, very bad… Brother Liam… my father… passed away…” Ava’s voice slowly lowered.
Liam’s hand paused for a moment before continuing to touch: “Perhaps, it’s a relief for uncle, after all the pain for so long, isn’t it?”
“But… I didn’t even take a last look at him…” Ava finally cried out. As if Liam is his own long-lost family members, Ava will finally suppress the pain in the heart for a long time to shout out.
“What’s going on?” Liam was a bit confused and asked while comforting Ava who was crying in pain.
” Noah locked me up, I called he did not answer… later, Dad, Dad… and no…’ Ava in such a deep night, at the beach, met their relatives in general, will all all the dissatisfaction and aggression cried out.
“This damn Noah!” Liam couldn’t help but grit his teeth when he thought of Noah’s unreasonableness, how could a person be so heartless?
“Okay, Ava, I’m here, don’t cry, from now on Brother Liam will never leave you again, no matter who, no one can make me leave you.” Ava’s tears made Liam’s heart ache.
After crying for I don’t know how long, Ava finally stopped crying.
Sitting side by side with Liam on the beach, looking at the stars in the sky, Ava’s mood was much better for some reason. Liam draped his jacket over Ava’s body and smiled at Ava: “Silly girl, it’s so late, don’t wander around here by yourself later.”
Ava wrinkled the tip of her nose and asked, “How did you find me?”
“Feelings ah… haha, lie, I am just finished working, just want to walk around this side, quietly clear your head, did not expect to see a bit like you from afar, at first did not dare to recognize, see you and cold drink store owner talking, I went over to ask if it was you, people nodded, I came over here to find you. ” Liam also did not expect to meet Ava so coincidentally, late at night.
” Brother Liam, what are you doing now? Why so mysterious, how come your car is different too? And, you can be so busy now…” Ava has many, many questions to ask Liam.
Liam scratched Ava’s nose and said, “So many questions? Well, I’ll tell you slowly!”
” you’ve heard of Logan Martin of the Martin Group, right?”
“I know, his group is also very big, occupying a lot of industries and doing well. In Blue Whale City, probably the one who can compete with the Brown Group is probably this Martin Group, right?”
“Logan Martin is my father…” After a few moments of silence, Liam finally said this.
Ava’s eyes were wide open and she looked at Liam incredulously, “No way? Brother Liam… how come I’ve never heard you say that before?”
Liam laughed bitterly in the dark: “What is there to say about this, if I say that my life is actually also very bad, I am really afraid that you look down on me even more.”
Ava shook her head in a panic: “No way, Brother Liam, from the beginning you didn’t mind that I was a yellow girl, you have always helped me and been there for me, how could I look down on you? I used to be a poor girl who even had to count for food, didn’t I?”
Liam’s heart has some warm feeling, yes, Ava never asked anything about Liam, has always been such a warm and bright woman.
“I am the child born to Logan Martin after he raped my mother… is a disgrace…’ Liam stated this fact in a cloudy voice, a mocking smile curling the corners of his mouth.
This one piece of news made Ava freeze, how could this be?
“Cruel, isn’t it? Do you know why I never refused to face my father? Because he made me feel like I had to face such an identity all the time, so I refused. I’d rather, be out there on my own, even if it’s just a little doctor, of that is that at least, it’s my own life.”
“Then why? Why would you want… to go back to him?” Ava couldn’t believe her ears. She could clearly see Liam’s eyes, full of sorrow, as if he never wanted to unravel this identity for the rest of his life.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Ava asked, Liam’s mournful eyes, a soft but sad shine, looking at Ava, heart piled up courage, all with a cloud of light relief. “For you, silly girl, I want this silly girl never to be bullied by Noah again, but unfortunately I am still a step too late, if I am willing to face their unpleasant identity a little earlier, I am afraid that now you will not be so sad.” Liam gently laughed out, but some bitter taste mixed in the smile.
Ava gently took Liam’s arm, some comfort, some meaning of dependence within.
“Brother Liam, it’s not too late, really, I’m free now, really free, free…” Ava kept repeating the word “free”. .
No longer talking, the two kept looking at the sea in the distance.
It was only when the lights of the cold drink store were turned off that Ava suddenly realized: ” Brother Liam, it’s a bit cold, you gave me your jacket, you’ll catch a cold, let’s go back.”
Liam then stood up and took Ava’s hand in the darkness of the night.
Liam’s large palm is warm, warming Ava’s cold hands.
He walked all the way to the parking lot. Liam led Ava to a black Porsche, opened the door and told Ava to get in.
Because of the last incident, Ava’s psyche was in shadow. She looked around uneasily and didn’t see any sign of Noah before she sat down in fear.
Liam got into the car, fastened his seat belt, started the car and asked, “Where do you live? Let me give you a ride home.”
