Chapter 469 Irena’s Choice
In the end, Shane still went with Cassius. Cassius had experience in the entertainment circle. Moreover, he was very concerned about the relationship between Cassius and Charlotte.
However, after he talked to Cassius, Shane no longer felt this man was a threat. There was nothing more important than acting and singing in Cassius’s eyes. He spent every day in the practice room. He only talked with Charlotte occasionally over some trivial matters.
In a blink of an eye.
Ten months had passed.
Shane had turned from a businessman into one of the world’s top pianists. He was very good at playing the piano. No one else could learn his style. He was also able to play a few classical pieces perfectly. Therefore, some people called him a man who was able to drive the industry further. Not to mention he had an endless stream of investors behind him to push him higher.
October was Shane’s time of glory as well as the time of farewells for some people.
Nano wanted to return back to his country, Seven didn’t want to leave but Irena wanted to follow Nano.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Avery tried to convince her to stay twice but Irena still didn’t change her mind. He also stopped trying. As long as he knew she was still alive, he could continue to live for her just like in the past.
“Why don’t you look for her again?”
In Avery’s house, Freddie leaned against the doorframe, looked at Avery, and asked, “You obviously like my godmother very much. If you look for her again, maybe she will stay.”
“She doesn’t want to stay, why should I force my feelings onto her?” Avery asked back.
“Aren’t all relationships forced?” Freddie tilted his head and looked at him. In his eyes, his parents’ love was forced out of each other.
Avery laughed, “You’re just a kid. How do you know that?”
“Why can’t a child know this?” Freddie pouted unhappily. “Or is it that you care a lot about the fact my godmother used to like my uncle?”
“I don’t mind. I would be grateful as long as she lived. I don’t care who she likes in the process.”
“Then why don’t you look for her?”
Avery didn’t know how to explain this to the kid.
In fact, after he thought about it, it was normal for Freddie to have such an opinion. After all, in his world, there was nothing he couldn’t have with a wave of his hand.
“I’ll go look for her now. Thank you, Fred.” Avery decided to get rid of the child first. He still had time to deal with the issue with Irena. They weren’t leaving tomorrow anyway.
“My name is Freddie.” Freddie rolled his eyes and left.
Avery was speechless.
He realised children nowadays had quite a bad temper.
…
The next day.
Avery made an appointment with Irena and waited at the door of her house.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Irena walking out of the villa behind Nano. Irena was so subservient she looked like a maid. Nano didn’t even look at her as he walked forward.
After a few steps, Avery wanted to go forward but he heard Nano speak.
“What’s your plan after returning?”
“I have no plans. He asked me to take good care of you so I will take care of you.”
“He is no longer here.” Nathan stopped. He leaned against the car and looked at Irena. “We do not belong in the same world.”
“I know.” Irena lowered her head. “I don’t deserve to be with you.”
“No, you shouldn’t be with us.”
“Are you trying to get rid of me?”
“Someone else is suitable for you. He needs you more than me. Seven also needs someone to take care of him here.”
“What about you? You would go back alone?” Irena’s tone became agitated. “If you go back alone, what’s the point of guarding the room? I really don’t understand.”
Nathan looked up at the blue sky and said, “I promised her that if she died, I would raze the world to the ground, then I would live in her favorite house until I die of old age. Now that she is dead, I have no one else to worry about.”
“Freddie hasn’t grown up, he…”
“Irena, I don’t think Shane will treat my son unfairly.”
Suddenly, Irena had nothing to say.
Freddie and Sheryl were still too young. No one would know if they were just fooling around or serious. If Nathan was able to determine Freddie’s happiness in the future based on just that, then, she could only say Nathan trusted Shane too much.
Irena took a deep breath. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her scarred mouth. “I think I understand. Since this is your decision, then I can only wish you and Little Master well.”
“You stay here and help me keep an eye on Freddie. As for Avery, he’s a reliable person. If reincarnation exists, I would wait for someone I love rather than someone who loves me. I can see you’re guilty.”
Irena looked down.
Nano got into the car and left.
Irena sighed and muttered to herself, “Does it matter if I’m feeling guilty or love? I’ve already promised him that I would not marry anyone for the rest of my life. I…”
“It doesn’t matter.” Avery came out of the shadow. He put his hands in his pockets and smiled arrogantly, “We already have Olive. As for marriage, it doesn’t matter if you aren’t afraid I would run away with someone. If you are, I can get married to some rando at Claegro as a placeholder for this position.”
“Avery? You, when did you come here?” Irena was surprised.
“Just now.” Avery reached out his hands. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. “I killed and did some crazy things for you. I caused Rick and Kendall to go through a big circle just to be together. I would’ve lost too much if you don’t stay with me.”
Irena smiled bitterly, “I really don’t deserve to be with you… oh…”
Avery kissed her on the lips.
Moments later.
He gently loosened his grip and leaned against her ear, whispering, “Have I told you I love you? If I didn’t, then listen well. Irena, I love you. Whether you’re alive or dead, whether you’re beautiful or ugly, as long as you’re by my side, as long as you’re here, I’ll always love you. Even if you aren’t by my side, I’ll force myself to love you until I die.”
“You would stop loving me if I died?” Irena thought that he was childishly cute.
“I’ll try my best, okay? If I can still love you after I die, I will continue to love you.” Avery raised his hand.
Irena sighed.
“What have I done…?”
“In the past, Charlotte asked me a question. She asked me why I wanted to wait for you. I answered just because I wanted to wait for you.”
Not far away.
Nathan sat in the car and looked at Avery and Irena, who was hugging each other, and shook her head with a smile.
“You know what Second Master thinks so why did you send her off to someone else?” The butler in the driver’s seat asked. “I’ve watched the both of you grow up. All these years, you’ve always had a similar taste in things. Since Second Master liked Miss Chambers so much, I’m sure you…”
“Alfie, in this world, only love could not be shared,” Nano answered softly.
“Sir, you and Miss Chambers…”
“Not to mention that no one could tell if she was beautiful or ugly from her face. Even if her past self stood before me, it couldn’t even compare to the love I had.”
“Do you really love Young Madam that much?”
“I love her, just like Avery loves Irena. So isn’t it a good thing?”
Anyway, he didn’t need Irena at all. It was better to give Irena to someone who felt she was important to them. He smiled because he saw his brother’s shadow in Avery. His brother had died. Even if heaven existed, he couldn’t bring Irena happiness. All the so-called “no’s” were just shackles.
Irena would be shackled but he wouldn’t be.
To him, people could only willingly be shackled and restrained of their freedom.
That’s why.
He wanted Irena to make her own choice.
