Chapter 2487
Leah did not say anything, but millions of thoughts were flashing across her mind.
On the other side of things, Nollace drove to the Blue Valley Manor, and Daisie got out of the car.
Looking at the magnificent and classical–looking manor, Daisie was a little shocked.” Could this be one of the things
that Grandpa left for you?”
Nollace nodded. “This manor is where my grandmother used to live way back then. After she passed away, the
property’s ownership went to my grandfather. He was very reluctant about auctioning it, so it’s been vacant all
these years.”
After explaining some of the backstories of the manor to Daisie, he stretched his hand out toward her. “Let’s take a
walk around the manor.”
Daisie grabbed his hand with a grin and walked with him into the huge garden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis manor was located very near the imperial palace—One could see the clock tower in the palace—and it was
located in the most prosperous city center.
The garden had a few man–made pools and bridges, and there were even several pavilions.
The snow on the fountains, sculptures, stone paths, and rose bushes was glimmering under the warm winter sun.
The snow that covered evergreens and eaves started melting and dripping into the pool, stirring up ripples.
Daisie grinned. “It’s so quiet and peaceful here.”
Nollace smiled too. “It’s indeed very peaceful, very suitable for a spiritual stay.” After that, he stopped and turned to
look at Daisie. “When the baby is born, we’ll move here with the baby. Our kids can run around in the garden and
play around the manor. It’ll surely be very boisterous.”
Daisie looked at him. “Aren’t you afraid of them getting lost in such a huge place?”
He sneered. “So it’s best for them not to inherit your clumsiness.”
“Who are you referring to as a clumsy person?” Daisie crossed her arms and turned her face away. “I’m not as bad
as you think I am when it comes to telling directions!”
Nollace’s smile intensified.
“Nollace, can you tell me more about your grandma?”
“Do you want to know about her?” She nodded.
Nollace brought her to one of the pavilions, sat down, and began to talk about his
grandmother, “I don’t have a very clear memory of my grandmother, but I heard from my mother that I once lived
here with her when I was very young.
“My mother told me that my grandmother was a gentle and virtuous woman. Even though my grandfather had a
mistress, my grandmother accepted the mistress’s existence magnanimously.
“She never had any prejudice against my aunt because she was the mistress‘ child. She only fell out with my
grandfather when I got kidnapped.”
Nollace had been brought back to the Knowles when he was three or four years old, and that was how he had
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbecome Madam Knowles‘ target.
Daisie had also heard about Nollace’s kidnapping when he was a boy. “Then the incident must have been terrifying
to you, right?”
“It was indeed terrifying.” His eyes turned gloomy. “But instead of being overwhelmed by horror, unwillingness was
the main emotion that haunted me during those days. I couldn’t accept that I was being persecuted by my own
fate, my identity, so the only thing I thought about back then was to survive.”
After saying that, he turned his head and stared at Daisie. “I pretended to be well–behaved, pretended to be
scared, and didn’t dare to resist them. That’s why they didn’t kill me directly but wanted to traffic me instead when
they kidnapped me. That was when I knew my life wouldn’t be threatened, at least temporarily.
“They thought that I, a child, wouldn’t be capable of escaping their captivity. That’s why they let their guard down
against me.”
Nollace stared at the calm pond. “I took advantage of their lack of vigilance and added rodenticide to their food.”
Daisie was taken aback.
Nollace looked at her. “Am I a total scum? I already killed someone with poison at a young age. Does it scare you?”
Daisie frowned, walked up to him, and shook her head. “I’m not afraid of you. Besides, you were only protecting
yourself.”
