Chapter 173
As they passed by Jack and Tyler, the two children looked at her with reluctant expressions. Aveline smiled at them to comfort them.
Owen didn’t say anything, but kept watching her as she boarded the helicopter. He knew it wasn’t the right time now. Alexander couldn’t die here; he couldn’t bring trouble to the island. But once they
left this island…
A fierce look filled Owen’s eyes, and coincidentally, Alexander turned back as if sensing something
at that moment.
Their gazes met in the air, like a lion and a tiger, and then quickly separated. They understood that today was not the end.
Aveline didn’t have time to say goodbye and left the island. She looked at the small wooden house, the giant cherry blossom tree, and Aunt Amelia standing at the door, as well as the children, all watching her leave. And Owen, who had disappeared at some point, the sunlight only capturing his back, like a lone wolf gradually disappearing into the forest.
Goodbye, little island.
Aveline closed her eyes. It was a pity that she didn’t get to see the cherry blossoms bloom. And Alexander bringing her back so openly would definitely be discovered, ruining her plan.
“What’s wrong? Reluctant to leave?” Alexander’s deep voice sounded in her ear.
Aveline was very careful with her words now, afraid of angering Alexander with a wrong sentence. She shook her head, but for a moment, she didn’t know how to answer. The truth would make Alexander angry, but a lie could be easily seen through by him.
Her fear of him had seeped into her bones, and Aveline didn’t even know what to say anymore.
Alexander seemed to realize this too. He leaned towards her, and Aveline reflexively trembled, like a startled cat, looking at him with a guarded expression.
In this startled state, Alexander reached out and pulled her into his arms. Aveline didn’t dare to struggle and stayed motionless, leaning against his chest, listening to his strong and powerful
heartbeat.

She curled up her body, unable to guess Alexander’s thoughts or what he would do to torment her
The plane landed on the Sterling’s Mansion’s helipad, and Aveline felt inexplicably frightened and frembling when she got off the plane. Alexander’s peripheral vision fell on her trembling figure.
Aveline now became even more sensitive and timid than before, as if she were a stray cat in the wild, wary of humans after experiencing their beatings. Whenever Alexander looked at her, her eyes were filled with fear.
Like now, when he did nothing but just glanced at her, her body trembled lightly.
Although Aveline had returned, she had become more sensitive and even timid than before. She
would be cautious in examining his expressions and no longer dared to freely express her thoughts.
This kind of Aveline made Alexander feel more annoyed.
Aveline stared at his back, feeling that he seemed angry again, but she had done nothing and said
nothing.
Why was he angry?
She secretly touched the pocket of her hidden wooden slingshot, hoping that she would never have
to use it.
As soon as they entered the house, Helen took Jamie and went to play on the side, while Aveline followed behind Alexander and went upstairs.
As she stepped into the room, the door closed behind her.
The room was not lit, and the blackout curtains were tightly closed, leaving only a ray of light.
Aveline saw dust dancing in that beam of light, as well as Alexander’s rolling Adam’s apple.
His face was completely hidden in the darkness, so Aveline couldn’t see any expression on his face.
Her lips and neck were exposed to the sunlight, and a hand in the darkness touched her lips. The rough fingers ignited warmth.
She didn’t know what new torment Alexander had come up with this time. Just as she was about to speak, the man turned his head and leaned down towards her. His face flashed in the sunlight and then landed on her lips the next second.
