Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Return To My House
“We all would suffer hell.” the words echoed in Nora’s mind for a while. A light image of her in her past life overlapped with Ava. no! She was not physically abused! She would not be killed by them. Nora shook off that feeling and stabbed the dessert on the table.

“I have finalized a house for you. If you want to come and look, we can make the decision immediately.” Nora smiled as she knew Ava was changing the topic. Yet she welcomed the offer and they both stood up to visit the new house.

In the car, there was a strange suffocating silence.

“You look ashen!” Ava remarked. Nora looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.

“I just thought that I was strong enough. But that did not seem to be the case.” Ava was stunned. She had thought Nora would not worry further if she explained the consequences after all, it is human nature to take a step back seeing danger.

“You are just too kind.” she patted Nora’s back. “To the limit that you take others’ worries as you. It is not your fight.” Nora nodded instantly, leaving Ava silent.

“Yes, but it is your fight and you are family. If you are determined, you can fight him. You are living with him for so long, you know all the secrets. How could you not have advantage against us? And as long as it is about your family, I am sure Alric will support you.” Ava laughed at Nora’s naivety and shook her head.

Yet her mind wandered on those words. Did she know enough secrets? She knew everything about Steve since he never took attention of her presence and discussed things he wanted to without a care.

“I will think about it. Aah, we have already reached it!” Ava opened the door and Nora walked out. But she paused when she saw the house.

Ava only realized that Nora had not followed her when she was inside. She frowned and looked around only to see Nora pausing at the door with an ashen face.

She frowned and ran to her with worry?

“Are you feeling sick now? Are you still thinking about it?” Nora blinked when she felt Ava’s warm hands on her arm. She looked at Ava and then at the house.

It could not be a coincidence. Could it be? It was the same house where she had lived with Benard in her past life! But the house should already belong to him.

He had brought it when she was sixteen and she was already eighteen now.

“Do you not like the house?” Ava frowned as she noticed Nora was staring at the house without blinking? But she did not understand why? The house had a good exterior. It looked refined and classy from outside.

“Who is the current owner of this house?” Ava frowned and then she called someone.

“It is Chris Benard! He is a businessman too. You must have heard about him.” Nora took a step back instinctively.

“Why is he selling this house?” Ava frowned further.

“I did not ask much. The agent said that he had many properties and needed some urgent cash for his business. Why? Do you know him?” Ava watched Nora intently as her face visibly relaxed after hearing the reason.

“You said that he needed cash urgently?” Ava nodded, not understanding why Nora cared.

“Alright, then we should buy this house?” her expressions had a striking change. Earlier, she looked like she had seen a monster and now she was smiling like she was with an angel.

Ava looked at Nora and then at the house confused.

“Should you not check it from inside before deciding?” without waiting for Nora;s reply, she wrapped her arms around Nora and started walking. “If your decision depends on the owner of the house, then you should not be this kind. You should only take things you like, not for charity.” Nora did not reply.

She did not need to see the house because she had lived a decade here.

As she walked in, memories of the past flooded. She could see herself sitting on the sofa and humming a song for her daughter.

She could see herself cooking in the kitchen with a wound still bleeding. Descending the stairs with a pile of documents in her hands while Benard was waiting near the door.

She was standing near the door and looking at the road with longing. There were so many memories, good and bad. She hated Benard. But this house… it had been a part of her life.

Ava watched Nora’s face with intrigue. The way she was looking at the house was strange.

“Do you know that man too well?” she asked again, prying.

To her surprise, Nora nodded.

“He was chosen by my family. I would have been his third wife if I had accepted it.”

“I have heard about him. He is a gentleman with a good record. But everyone finds it strange that both of his wives disappeared. Though there were rumors that they ran away with their lovers. But it is strange.

He is a rich and handsome man. Why would a woman have a lover for no reason. Nora, I do not like that man. He gives me similar vibes.” Nora laughed bitterly. He did not give similar vibes to Mr SPencer, but he was worse.

“I am just happy that he is suffering from financial issues. And since he needed money so urgently, we should help him a bit.” Ava could not follow Nora’s chain of thoughts anymore. But before she could ask, Nora climbed the stairs and went upstairs. There was a closed room looking like a store, Nora opened it and stared at the broken things inside for a long time.

“Nora..” when Ava walked closer, Nora smiled.

“I will have a daughter first and we will make this room as her nursery. I will personally paint the room white and blue and design it.”
