“Yes, she’s someone I wanted to get closer to,” Ella nodded, adding more to her response.

“Why send me a letter after deciding to cut ties?” her voice lashed out bitterly.5c6e0fbfc8e1c946

She was no longer 1aa4a38340 the pitiable daughter of 9d55aad9c7 Baron Limoner. Now, she was a 986c56a438 lady of the great dd443ee791 Garcia Count family, destined 9f1f5c0b09 to walk a path 42162d30ae of flowers as a 7aebe01c96 future duchess.d294a4b6194e6861

Ella murmured coldly and called for a maid. She quickly prepared for an outing and headed to a certain place. This was the mansion of Amanda, Kaiden’s biological mother, who secretly entertained men behind Kaiden’s back.cf9e0376f0d25a43

Kaiden despised his cad6c5c7f4 mother for not 51efa8179b maintaining her dignity 6372a1ff53 and mingling with 3a3dc9b495 men, which was 2034ec48c9 why Ella was 2a1a1aae7d the only one 5df01afaad who knew about 290ebe1a86 this place.
