Became A Queen After divorce

The two of them were silent for a moment before Sam extended an invitation.

“Shall we take a walk?”

“Sure.”

Kelvin did not refuse; in fact, he had many questions to ask Sam.

Behind the ancient temple was a small courtyard with green bricks and black tiles, and tall osmanthus trees planted nearby. Although the season for osmanthus fragrance had long passed, the trees were still lush and green. Walking along the path felt serene and peaceful.

After a few minutes, Sam suddenly stopped and casually pulled a ribbon hanging from a tree.

“I don’t believe in Buddhism, but I like coming here.”

Kelvin also stopped and turned to look at Sam, his deep black eyes filled with curiosity.

“Why?”

Sam smiled faintly, like a summer breeze passing through a vast, desolate land, bringing with it a sense of loneliness.

“Because this place reminds me of home.”

As a child, he thought home was a shackle and desperately wanted to escape. Growing up, he realized home was a haven and desperately wanted to return. Unfortunately, he could never go back.

Kelvin had never seen this side of Sam; he had indeed changed a lot in the past five years. He had become more sentimental and harder to understand.

“If you miss it so much, why not go back?”

“I don’t want to think about the past grudges anymore. Besides being ‘friends’ and ‘rivals,’ we are brothers, aren’t we?”

Blood ties cannot be erased. If Sam was willing to admit his mistakes and return home with him, Kelvin would be willing to accept him as his brother again.

“Brothers?”

Sam murmured the word, feeling an indescribable emotion. He hadn’t expected Kelvin to still consider him a brother. Could someone like him, full of sins and destined to fall into the mire, deserve redemption? For a moment, he wavered. But thinking about his father’s and Gracie’s deaths, Sam couldn’t let go completely. He had come for revenge from the beginning; there was no turning back now.

“Enough, Kelvin. I don’t believe someone like you would truly forgive me for my mistakes!”

“Don’t forget, five years ago, I ruined your face and almost caused Cheyenne to have a difficult labor… Don’t you hate me?”

These were just the tip of the iceberg. The people Sam had harmed were far more numerous; even if he wasn’t directly involved, he was an accomplice.

Kelvin didn’t want to deceive him and answered firmly, “Of course I hated you!”

“I hated your malice, your long-term deceit, and most of all, I hated that you could win her love while I could only envy.”

“I don’t mind my ruined face, but you shouldn’t have targeted Cheyenne. In this world, she and the child are far more important than my life!”

Every word he said was sincere; his hatred was evident in his words.

Sam was stunned for a moment before softly saying, “I thought you were like me… born to be lonely.”

“People like us shouldn’t be held back by a woman. Cheyenne is just a passerby in your life, an obstacle.”

“You can’t bear hurting her, so let me do it! Only then can we stand on equal footing.”

He never expected Kelvin to willingly lose himself in the dream world woven by that woman.

“No, Cheyenne is my everything, my life! Before, now, and even in the future, I won’t let you harm her no matter what!”

Seeing how tense Kelvin was, anyone would think Sam was about to harm Cheyenne.

Sam sneered lightly. “Relax, I promised Gracie I wouldn’t trouble you anymore, and I won’t target Cheyenne either.”

“I heard you have a son and a daughter. How wonderful! Did they come with you to Taswya?”

Mentioning his children brought a natural glow of fatherly pride to Kelvin’s face.

“Yes, my son is named Oliver and looks like me. My daughter Cierra looks like her mother; she’s very cute and mischievous.”

Sam couldn’t help but imagine mini versions of them. No doubt his nephew would be as dull as Kelvin was as a child.

“Cierra sounds like a sweet little girl.”

Upon hearing this, Kelvin’s expression softened even more as he nodded.

“Yes, she’s very naughty. She’s only two and a half but has already fought all the kids around her. Every time she gets into trouble and Cheyenne wants to punish her, she runs to her grandpa for protection.”

So this is what it feels like to have a daughter?

Sam felt a pang of jealousy but would never admit it.

Thinking of one of his purposes for coming to Taswya, Kelvin stopped smiling and seriously asked, “Is Sasha with you?”

“Yes.”

Sam never lied about what he did; it was his way of doing things.

“Why target these innocent children? I don’t believe you would do such a thing; they are powerless and can’t satisfy your thrill for challenges.”

Sam was pleased that Kelvin understood him but didn’t want him involved in this matter.

“Believe it or not, trafficking those children was not my doing. As for why Sasha is with me, fate binds us.”

“What will it take for you to release her?”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“That’s not for you to ask.”

It wasn’t that he wanted to uphold some so-called justice for those innocent people. As a parent himself, he couldn’t imagine what he would do if his own children were in danger one day. Seeing Glenn running around for Sasha moved Kelvin.

“Alright, let me ask another way. Will you harm her?”

Sam glanced at him, his lips slightly parted as he coldly replied:

“If you think I will, what’s the point of explaining? What kind of assurance do you want from me?”

“So you’re saying you won’t harm her now?”

Kelvin’s question was actually a warning to Sam. Knowing Kelvin for years, Sam knew what he meant right away.

“No,” Sam replied.

Satisfied with the answer, Kelvin felt relieved.

“Alright, next question. What’s your purpose in coming to Taswya?”

The Sam he knew never did anything without benefit. Exposing his identity to come to Taswya couldn’t just be for tourism; Kelvin would never believe that.

Sam coldly responded, “No comment.”

His refusal to communicate further was frustrating.
