Chapter 68: Mother’s Appearance
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a fun thing in a small family compet.i.tion.”
The young man’s slender fingers tapped on the chair. “This Audrey isn’t to be underestimated.”
…
On the beast carriage belonging to Calder and Audrey.
“So where are we going next, father? “Audrey sat upright and looked at Calder in puzzlement.
It was extremely hard to leave the Davis family in normal circ.u.mstances.
Audrey was not a fool. She knew that the council of the Davis family would definitely a.s.sign a groundless crime onto Calder’s name and immediately remove him from his position as the patriarch. They might even get the two of them arrested.
Calder had publicly slapped Houston and the Great Clan Elder, Pierre, in the face. Those two definitely had many tricks up their sleeves.
“My wings aren’t fully grown yet…” Thought Audrey.
“Before we leave, we need to get all of your mother’s things back.
“I won’t leave anything that belongs to our family with the Davis family.”
Audrey’s eyes moved as she thought of the necklace Calder had given her.
From her memories, there was no memory of her mother.
This time, Audrey was curious about her background. “Father, can you tell me what kind of person my mother is?”
Calder paused for a moment before stiffly withdrawing his hand. “Your mother…”
…
Audrey finally understood the hards.h.i.+ps and struggles her father had gone through over the years.
When he first discovered that Audrey had a useless const.i.tution, he had wanted to leave the Davis family. However, at that time, Audrey was too young. He, as a man, could not take care of her at all.
Even though the people around him were eyeing her like a tiger watching its prey, they did not dare to do anything to Audrey under his watch.
Her mother came from the mysterious and distant seaside. Her jet-black hair and elf-like face made her look like a fairy from the bottom of the sea.
“Actually, you look almost identical to your mother. Your hair and eyes are inherited from me, but all of your other features, they’re simply a copy of your mother.” Calder looked at Audrey gently, it was as though he had seen another person through Audrey’s face.
Audrey smiled and said, “Although I don’t understand why my mother left without saying goodbye when I was five years old, I believe that Della must have had her own difficulties.”
“Audrey, don’t blame your mother. She loves you very much.”
Calder took a ring from his finger. With a faint green flash, a small and exquisite bracelet appeared in front of the two of them.
The bracelet was inlaid with many bells of various sizes, but when it was forcefully shaken, it did not make a sound.
Audrey recognized the material of the bell at a glance — dragon bone.
Even in the magical world of her previous life, dragon bones were a very precious material.
If she was not mistaken, the bracelet’s chain should be a dragon’s tendon.
According to legend, as long as a bit of dragon tendon was removed, it would be able to revive a dead person’s flesh and bones.
Audrey had only seen descriptions of dragon bones and dragon tendons in ancient books of magic. She had never thought that she would be able to collect all two things one day.
Della was definitely not an ordinary person.
“This is the last thing your mother left for you. It was originally tied to your wrist, but this thing needs to be nourished by a master’s combat aura.”
Audrey understood what Calder did not say.
She had not had any combat aura for so many years, so Calder could only nourish it with his own.
No wonder the dragon bone was still as s.h.i.+ny as if it had just been removed from her body.
“Father, when can I see my mother again?” Audrey asked curiously.
She was really curious about her mother’s ident.i.ty.
Calder gave a wry smile. Audrey had no impression of her mother at all.
His lover had disappeared for such a long time that Calder could hardly find his wife’s beautiful face in his memories.
“We’ll meet again. Our family will definitely be reunited one day.”
Audrey nodded. She was looking forward to that day, too.
