Chapter 135

William’s eyes lit up instantly, his excitement barely contained. “You are really willing to stay?”

Arthur nodded. “Yes”

William’s hands trembled with excitement. “Good, good. This is your home. Now that you are willing to be here, I would die without regrets even if it were to happen tomorrow!”

Fearing that Arthur might change his mind, William immediately took his hand and led him towards the grand old mansion, saying. “You should live in the old house with me. We haven’t seen each other for so many years. Let’s work on strengthening our bond.

“I’ve kept your room just as it was when you were young. The layout and furnishings are exactly the same. I’ve had it cleaned every month, so it’s very clean and ready for you to move in directly.”

Arthur’s eyes darkened a little. He had left home at the age of six due to an incident. Before his disappearance, he had lived in the grand old mansion with William. He had been smart and well- loved by William and his parents.

He had also loved them very much. He had always felt happy and considered himself to have a perfect family. When he and his younger brother were kidnapped by the Rouse family’s enemies, he was seriously injured while protecting his brother. But during the rescue, seeing his injuries. were severe, his grandfather and parents probably thought that saving him was futile and only rescued his brother. They even disregarded the threat from the kidnappers and ignored the fact that he was still in their hands, and gave the order to use force against them.

He sustained half of his injuries from the Rouse family’s actions against the kidnappers.

The kidnappers, enraged, took him with them and jumped into the sea.

Fortune favored him; he survived and was washed ashore over 62 miles away, where he was rescued and received timely medical attention.

When he regained consciousness, he heard the police at the door of his hospital room saying they had found his family and that his family was on their way.

He immediately pulled out his IV and climbed out the window to escape.

Even though he suffered a lot afterward, he didn’t stop avoiding the Rouse family’s search. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Even when he saw the news of his parents‘ assassination, he felt nothing and had no intention of returning.

Arthur came to his senses, withdrew his hand from William’s grip, and said lightly. “Tm used to living in a modern villa and don’t want to stay in the old mansion.”

William’s expression froze, and a trace of pain appeared in his eyes. William’s expression froze, and a trace of hurt appeared in his eyes. But he didn’t dare to say anything and could only go along with Arthur’s wishes. Then I’ll have a room prepared for you in the villa to the left of the mansion. The

nearby villas are occupied, but that one has a room available.”

Arthur had no objections, as long as he wasn’t forced to go back to his original residence and relive the past.

William personally led Arthur over and instructed someone to get the room ready immediately.

After the room was ready, Arthur entered, closed the door behind him, and kept William outside, unwilling to engage in further conversation.

William stood at the door, sighing silently, and thought, ‘Arthur holds a grudge for too long. Even after twenty years, he still bears such resentment.

“Don’t be too upset, Mr. Rouse. He will understand your difficulties eventually. Your decision to give up on him back then was also out of necessity,” William’s assistant, who had been working for him. for years, said softly.

William shook his head and turned to go downstairs.

Inside the room, Arthur took out his phone, intending to have Gerald look into Evangeline.

However, after typing the message, he quickly deleted it and opened the chat window with Evangeline, deciding to ask her directly.

He texted: [Are you in Lyrendia lately? I’ll be staying here for a while, but I’m not familiar with this place. Could you show me around?]

He waited for a while with no reply, and his heart started to race.

Evangeline had been cold towards him when he first developed romantic feelings for her, and if she sensed he still had lingering feelings for her, she would definitely avoid him.

He thought for a moment and sent another message: [I don’t have any other intentions. It’s just that I don’t have any friends here and am not comfortable dealing with

help. If it’s inconvenient for you, it’s fine. I won’t be disappointed angers, so I’m asking for your
