He barely blinked before saying, “Find out where she’s staying.”
He'd never met Ava.
The wedding had been rushed. Only their direct families were invited. It was more of a formality, and he hadn't
stayed long. He didn’t even know which relatives from the Hardwick family had attended.
Over the years, Charlotte hadn't mentioned Ava much.

“Grandma, I'm so sorry...”
Ava slapped her gently on the back. “You little brat. Don’t callGrandma. Let go of me!”
But despite the harsh words, her voice also choked up.

Instead, she'd let so-called love blind her. She didn’t question the lies, didn’t defend herself, and rushed into
marriage without looking back.
Ava was angry and disappointed.
But time, as it always does, had a way of healing old wounds. All that remained now was longing.
She often remembered Charlotte as the little girl who'd sat beside her, serious about learning the art of incense-
