"I'll go with Mr. Shanyuhai. I've never been afraid of danger," Ava said, somewhat silently somber after the blow dealt to him yesterday.
He clearly had grown quite a bit.
In the past, amidst carefree days, he harbored thoughts of evasion, but after Gu Shanhai had unveiled the bloody truth, Ava understood that as an adopted commoner's son, he indeed was an obstacle to the Ekter family, even if his foster father and brothers didn't say it, he could feel the ridicule from the outside world.
Now, realizing Merlin, who had raised him, also harbored certain ambitions for him, even suspecting he might have been stolen from his real parents, compounded his complex emotions.
"I hope, Mr. Shanhai, you can protect Ava well. I will try to stall Merlin for a while," Sir Ekter eventually sighed, recognizing that his adopted son did not plan to hold him back.
"There's no need for you, Sir Ekter, to stall Merlin; it would be pointless. I'll find a way," Gu Shanhai refused.
