Chapter 668 Aarav’s Wife
Jaden was silent for a long time. Then, he asked, “What is the purpose?”
“The purpose is to find an interesting place in the mountain.” Dr. T smiled slightly. Then, he looked at Jaden with interest and asked, “There is something I have always wanted to ask you. When you joined me, I did scheme against you. I am more curious about who you learned your skills from. In Washington, there is nobody more powerful than you.”
Jaden frowned and asked, “Can I not answer?”
“Yes, but next time, you may get less medicine,” Dr. T sald with a smile.
Jaden was silent. Then, he let out a sigh and said, “It’s in my gene. I was born into a martial arts family. It passed on to my generation. My parents died in an accident in my early years, leaving me alone. I felt bored in the mountains, so I left and came to Washington. I built an underground casino in Washington all on my own.”
Dr. T said, “Oh? Is that so? I have investigated your background. You have a son and two daughters, but now, apart from your granddaughter who has always been by your side, your son and two daughters seem to be gone. Also, there seems to be no news of your eldest granddaughter.”
Jaden was silent. He frowned and looked at Dr. T. “This is my private matter. I don’t want them to be exposed to the public. I want them to hide their identities. Is there a problem with that?”
Dr. T smiled and said, “Of course not. I’m just curious. If you don’t want to talk about your private matters, it’s okay.”
Jaden did not speak anymore. He stood up and said, “Take us away!”
It was dawn. Theo didn’t fall asleep the whole night. He stayed by the fire in case any accidents happened. Aarav slept very soundly inside.
At six o’clock in the morning, Aarav got up. He washed his face by the stream and asked, “Are we going back now?”
Theo nodded. “Yes. Also, I have to remind you that you can’t mention what we have seen and heard to anyone, including the people closest to you, including your wife!”
Aarav smiled bitterly. “I understand!”
Theo added, “Don’t worry. I will give you a sum of money. You also went through some danger this time. Take the money as some compensation.”
Aarav nodded and asked, “Are we going to move the things back?”
Theo said, “That won’t be necessary.”
The two stood up as they talked. Aarav carried his backpack and then they backtracked to Estasate.
The journey took about a day. Theo was a little bored, so he tried to talk to Aarav. He smiled and said, “Aarav, you’re a lucky man. You actually found such a beautiful girl in the city to be your wife!”
It seemed that the two had gone through life and death together last night and had gotten closer to each other. Aarav smiled bitterly and said, “She’s my wife, but I haven’t even touched her hands for so many years. Ah!”
“What do you mean?” Theo asked in surprise.
Aarav said, “We don’t have much to do anyway. Let me tell you about me and Isla!
“Damn, how could you be so lucky? Why can’t such things happen to me?” Theo was surprised. “Although I never lack women around me, they are all for my looks and my money.”
Aarav rolled his eyes.
Theo coughed lightly and continued to ask, “Then why did you return to Estasate?”
“I didn’t want to come back. I also felt comfortable living in Washington. There were no shops in this fucking village. There was even no signal. My phone was useless here. But… I did not dare to disobey Mr. Berkeley. He asked Isla to come back here with me, so I had to come back. Then I got married in Estasate. Mr. Berkeley even attended my wedding.” Aarav smiled bitterly and continued, “Speaking of which, it was actually Mr. Berkeley who hired people to build my house.”
Theo’s expression changed. “Damn, Jaden is good to you. Is Isla his former mistress or his nanny?”
“You are thinking too much.” Aarav said, “Isla is not like what you said. Isla’s full name is Isla Berkeley. She is Mr. Berkeley’s granddaughter.”
“What?” Theo was completely stunned. He looked at Aarav in shock and asked, “Are you saying that the woman in your house is Jaden’s granddaughter?”
Aarav nodded and said, “Yes, I don’t know why he sent Isla to the village. Isla didn’t object either. She gets along well with me and is willing to call me husband, but… I haven’t even touched her hand. Every time I wanted to touch her, I felt that she was cold all over. It was a bit scary at first, but I have been used to it for so many years.”
Aarav said sadly, “You don’t understand how hard this is at all. Everyone in Estasate knows that 1 have a beautiful. wife. It’s been ten years, but I don’t even have a child. I have a beautiful wife, and I can’t even touch her hands. You don’t know how I feel!”
Theo frowned deeply and couldn’t listen to Aarav’s words anymore.
