Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The car was very quiet , and because Nora was anxious , her voice was quite loud . Aveline could dearly hear the name Jamie in her conversation . She remembered the day she received the pregnancy test report when she rushed into Alexanders arms with hope . Alexander , youre going to be a father ! Were going to have a baby ! Ive already thought of : name . If its a girl , well name her Jenna , and if its a boy , Jamie . What do you think ? She had hoped she had misheard , but Alexander didnt dodge her gaze and replied Muntly , His name it Jamie . You bastard ! Aveline raised her hand and slapped him . This time , he didnt avoid it , taking her slap head on . You let her name her child after our child ! she exclaimed . Their child was the last defense for Aveline , and her tears shattered like pearls . She pounced on him , like a madwoman , You demon , why did God take away our babys life ? Why isnt it you who died ? A distraught Aveline struck him repeatedly , He doesnt deserve that name ! Alexander held her hands and instructed Lucas , Go to the Noble Springs Residence . Aveline grew even more emotional , Were almost at the Civil Affairs Bureau . If youre going to leave , it must be after were divorced . The childs fever wont go down , and I need to go there immediately . Alexander replied . Shouldnt my father , who is lying unconscious in the hospital , be considered important ? The nurse is harassing me with debt collectors , and I cant even go to the hospital . Is your childs life more valuable , while my fathers life doesnt matter ? Aveline raged . At the mention of Anthony , Alexanders face turned icy . Is Anthony even worth mentioning in the same breath as Jamie ? Enraged , Aveline attempted to slap him again , but her hands were restrained . Alexander thundered , Havent you caused enough trouble ? Aveline watched as the car made a turn , and they were about to reach the Civil Affairs Bureau . In an attempt to prevent her from resisting again , Alexander Imprisoned her within his embrace . The once Chapter 19 comforting embrace had become a prison . His grip was strong , and she couldnt break free . She could only ask helplessly , Do you love Nora that much ? Alexander appeared to lose himself for a moment , and it was only then that he noticed how much she had changed . She was even thinner than a year ago , and her body felt hony . The fragile flower he used to hold in his hands had withered . Was this really what he wanted ? As he was starting to question his thoughts , he saw an image of the lifeless female corpse in his mind . The hand around Avelines waist tightened . When he looked up again , the tenderness in his eyes was gone , replaced by an endless coldness . Aveline , do you want to make a scene again ? Aveline clenched his shirt with both hands , her tears wetting his shirt . Despite promising not to make her cry , every tear she shed was caused by him . The atmosphere in the car was suffocatingly silent . Aveline calmed down and pushed his body away . sitting up straight . Aveline took a deep breath , cleared her throat , and spoke , Youre free to go see your son , but dont let your affairs disrupt our original plans . Dont worry , I wont cling to you again . Even if you dont want to divorce me , the divorce is finalized . Im not in the habit of picking up trash . If I dont give it to you ? Alexander asked . Aveline met his dark eyes . Her eyes , just cried red , shone brightly like the mountains after rain , exuding a clear coldness . Then Ill jump out of the car right now . You might not be able to save my father , but I dont need to stay alive . Alexander wrote a number on a check and handed it to her . The remaining five million will be paid after the divorce . Aveline smirked , Are you really that afraid I wont divorce you ? Dont worry , a man like you disgusts me so much that every second I spend near you is sickening . Stop the car . She took the check and slammed the car door , leaving without looking back Her father finally had a chance . Aveline exchanged the check and paid the medical bills immediately . Afterward , she took a Uber to the Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica . I Choose The Ani Chapter 19 address given to her by Jordan . It was a private high end cemetery where only the rich and powerful were buried . Sterling . the old lady , was buried here . Aveline bought Mrs. Sterlings favorite white lilies . It didnt take long for Aveline to find a new grave surrounded by a circle of plum trees. The plum trees had already grown buds and were about to blossom . The cold gravestone bore an unfamiliar name , Grave of Layla Sterling . Aveline knew that Alexander cherished his younger sister . She had gone missing and became a forbidden topic for him , never to be mentioned again . So , she knew nothing about her . Layla , was that her name ? Aveline had never heard of it . She crouched down and looked at the photo on the gravestone , a picture of Layla when she was five or years old , with a chubby face and a hint of Alexanders shadow in her features . six Aveline still had no clues . She took a photo with her phone as the only lead. She left the white lilies she bought for the old lady and knelt in front of Laylas grave , speaking softly , Layla , Im Aveline . If you were still alive , you should call me sister in law or maybe former sister in law . Im sorry , Im meeting you under these circumstances . I will find out who killed you … The old ladys tomb was nearby , and her photo on the gravestone displayed a gentle and loving expression , still preserving her appearance from her younger days . Aveline felt tired after standing for a while , so she sat next to the grave , as if reminiscing with the old lady as if she were still alive . Grandma , Im sorry , but I couldnt protect our child . However , that shameless Alexander has ensured the Sterling familys lineage continues , so you dont need to worry about the family line . Grandma , he has changed , no longer the person I used to know . In the past , he said he would protect me from the wind and rain , but now , all my troubles are brought by him .

In a few days , Ill come down to accompany you , and we can crawl out together to beat him up , okay ? Chapter 19 Grandma , what does it feel like to die ? Is it dark ?
