When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden)

Chapter 349 No Need to Attend The Wedding

When Beatrice arrived home, Odin was already standing at the door waiting

He Was making

phone call when he saw her and quietly said, I've seen you,"

He hung up the phone immediately.

Odin walked up to Beatrice and, looking at her bloodstained clothes, asked gently, 'Are you okay? Beatrice nodded, her voice hoarse, "Hmm."

Odin took out a handkerchief and reached out to wipe off the bloodstain on Beatrice's neck.

Beatrice dodged for a moment, his hand paused in mid-air, and changed the subject, saying, "Let's go inside and have a good chat, shall we?"

Beatrice did not refuse, she opened the door and looked at the messy room, as well as the bloodstains on the floor. She walked in calmly as if she hadn't seen anything.

Odin looked at this scene, furrowing his brows deeply.

"The sofa is not comfortable to sit on anymore. You go ahead and sit in the dining room, I'll go change my clothes," Beatrice said expressionlessly as she walked towards the bedroom, completely ignoring everything around her.

Odin sensed something unusual: "Beatrice..."

Beatrice ignored him and went straight back to her room.

When she came out, the room had already been tidied up by Odin, and the bloodstains on the floor were basically

gone.

There was even a cup of freshly brewed tea on the table.

Odin stood by the table, rolling up his sleeves, and said, "I don't really know how to do it either, but this is the best I can do for now."

Beatrice tightened her injured hand and anxiously said, "You don't have to do this, we have already broken up.*

Odin pulled her to sit down and placed the cup in her palm, indicating for her to drink some water first. "Beatrice, at least give me a chance to explain the cause and effect, right?"

"Your hand was actually injured by Sir Baldwin's bribed bodyguard, Mr. Caden, in order to make you hate him."

"Keith, feeling angry, confronted the bodyguards with Keyon and Brend, only to discover Angie and Sir Baldwin's plan."

Beatrice's

eyes

flickered and

wanted she asked, "Lacey? Sir Baldwin

her to

marry you?"

"Um."

Odin nodded, completing the whole matter.

Lacey's mother, Susan, was forcefully taken back to their country by Xander and locked up, in order to threaten Lacey to return and sabotage Beatrice and Odin's relationship.

Lacey was actually a very ambitious woman, she always came first in both her studies and performance. But he was reluctantly dragged down by his mother and had no choice but to stay by Xander's side. "Mr. Caden mentioned to me that your mother had seen Lacey when Sir Baldwin was injured while horseback riding. In fact, during that time, Sir Baldwin intended to introduce Lacey to a man whose wife was seriously ill," Odin explained.

"Ah?" Beatrice questioned, "Lost his wife?"

"I'm not dead yet," Odin shook his head.

Beatrice thought of Lacey, who had suddenly broken down emotionally.

No wonder it turned out this way, addicted mom, heartless dad.

Odin continued, "However, due to the fall from the horse, coupled with your mother's appearance, this matter came to nothing."

Upon

careful

consideration,

Beatrice

understood

the true meaning behind his words.

"Are you trying to tell me that Mr. Caden stepped forward to warn my mom not to speak out of fear that she knew too much and would be exposed by Sir Baldwin..."

Fortunately, your mother is simple-minded and didn't think much about it, so everything has been peaceful. As soon as Lacey arrived this time, Mr. Caden sent someone to intercept her. I cooperated with her to create a false impression for Sir Baldwin, while Mr. Caden took charge of finding her mother. Mr. Caden asked me to keep it a secret from you, not only because of Lacey's special identity, but also because Susan's drug addiction is a crime in our country. If it were to be connected to you, I believe Sir Baldwin would do everything possible to blame you for this matter. Then, not only would he get rid of you, but he would also get rid of Lacey and her mother."

Odin gazed deeply at Beatrice.

Beatrice coldly said, "He was afraid that I would use the Lacey mother-daughter situation to threaten him and ruin his carefully crafted image of a devoted husband who never remarried."

"Um."

"But he already knew that Lacey had told me everything," Beatrice worriedly said.

As the words fell, Odin grasped Beatrice's hand.

"Don't break up with me, he still doesn't dare to openly oppose me, the Soder family."

"No," Beatrice withdrew her hand and immediately refused, "This will only burden you. You have been very kind to me and have done enough. I cannot take advantage of you."

Odin stared at her and gently said, "How do you know I had no ulterior motives? Beatrice, I know there has always been a barrier in your heart, let me accompany you to cross it, okay? Don't push me away." "This is actually what I wanted to tell you after the end of the singles party."

He smiled slightly, his phoenix-like eyes curved like the warm sunshine of a spring day, and the gentle arc of his lips dispersed the chill around him.

He was a gentle person.

Beatrice knew his goodness well, so she couldn't burden him even more.

She shook her head bitterly, "I can't, I already... don't deserve it."

She tightly pursed her lips, unwilling to recall the events of that evening.

It seemed like she was the only one who remembered all the pain.

But that person didn't care at all.

Odin saw her dilemma.

SO

at

That day, Lucia drugged Mr. Caden's drink during the toast ceremony using Bella. The drug had a strong hallucinogenic effect, causing memory gaps,

he didn't remember what happened all.

"Beatrice, since he has forgotten, you should forget too. Are you planning to punish yourself for a lifetime?"

Beatrice was stunned.

She had always thought that Caden deliberately said nothing happened in order to protect Lacey's identity. In this way, she appeared in a disheveled state in Odin's room, which happened to become Lacey's shield, and Angie was helpless.

I didn't expect that he really didn't remember anything.

Beatrice subconsciously touched her numb hand.

At one point, I didn't know whether to say he was detestable or I was pitiful.

Odin patted her fidgety hand and said, "I had contacted neurologists, and they said your condition wasn't

at a dead end yet. There are still many possibilities for your future."

His words filled Beatrice's eyes with hope.

He said slowly, "Look, we were all trying to find a way to get better."

Beatrice burst into laughter through her tears and said, "I don't know how to refuse you for everything you said."

"Are you hungry? Let's go out and grab something to eat. I'll have Keyon find someone to thoroughly clean the place while you're gone, ŠO everything will be just like before

Odin stood up and looked at Beatrice, emphasizing something in his words.

Just like before.

Can we really go back to the past?

Beatrice

his sincerity.

But just as she was about to nod, she hesitated and said, "Should I go downstairs and take a look? The neighbor downstairs is very familiar with guns from abroad. If I were to call the police again, I wouldn't be able to explain it clearly."

"Don't worry, before Mr. Caden entered the building, he had already made Keith clear the building, so no one would know what happened."

Odin pulled Beatrice towards the door.

Beatrice had just breathed a sigh of relief when she opened the door and found a deliveryman standing outside.

"Miss Beatrice?"

"It was me," Beatrice nodded.

"There was a delivery for you, requiring personal signature.

The courier handed over a delivery envelope. Beatrice glanced at the sender, Bella.

"Bella? What did she send you?" Odin leaned in for a closer look.noveldrama

Beatrice shook her head and directly opened the delivery envelope, pouring out two rings from inside.

It was she who designed the wedding rings for Bella and Caden.

There was also a card enclosed in the envelope.

"Take good care of yourself and don't

worry about attending the wedding. Thank you."
