After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

25: Pandora’s Box

I spend the rest of my evening strolling in the garden then browsing some books in dad’s study. When I get back to the living room for dinnertime, I see Nikki and Joy sitting there. They don’t even greet me, so I ignore their sheer existence too and turn on the TV.

There is palpable tension in the room and I can feel Della glaring at me. I cannot help but wonder how she would have felt if that attacker had succeeded in his attempt last night.

“Ladies…” Dad calls us out and a smile forms on my lips.

He sits next to me and changes the channel to the news. I roll my eyes.

“What? You are not supposed to watch TV anyway,” He says, amused, and I shake my head.

“I guess I should help Uncle Orin with dinner preparation,” I say, getting up and making my way to the kitchen. Uncle Orin smiles and hands me a platter of veggies to cut.

“Where are the rest of the staff?” I ask him.

“I do most of the cooking nowadays. Staff is around only for cleaning and if there are guests.”

“Oh well, I am a guest! Or am I not important enough?” I raise my brow and take a bite of carrot.

He laughs. “You are not a guest. You are family.” he takes a pause then asks, “Why aren’t you sitting

outside with them?”

I shrug. “I was getting bored.”

He glances at the kitchen door and says in a low voice, “If you want to get close to your father, you

need to spend time with him. Don’t sneak out. That is what she wants.”

By ‘she‘ he means Joy.

My face goes hot. Has Joy shut me out of Dad’s life long enough that even subconsciously, I am doing

what she wants? Uncle Orin is right. I could have stayed with them to watch the news.

Why did I come to the kitchen?

Chapter 50

I nod and head back to the living room after a while and take a seat next to dad. The local news. channel is brimming with the footage of my attack and I wince when they highlight Liam in the lift.

“He is the real hero! He saved her,” the news reporter says and I frown. He didn’t do anything before or during the attack. Although he was a great help afterwards.

“We asked for his comments, but he politely refused. He doesn’t want to be named, so we have to

respect his privacy.”

“Nobody asked me for an interview.” I say, amused, and dad chuckles.

“Oh, they did. I outright denied them. We don’t need another drama. You need rest.”

“Too bad we need to talk to heroes like him… So he can inspire us.” The journalist says and the panelist interrupts her.

“Technically, he didn’t save her. She saved herself by being brave. Not all girls need saving.”

“Yes!” Dad says in approval and my cheeks turn pink hearing the praise.

Della gets up and turns off the TV muttering, “Even a mouse will react bravely if he is attacked.”

I gape at her.

“What the fuck is your problem?” I ask her.

“You are my problem!” she yells at me.

“Avery! Della! Quiet both of you!” Dad rebuke both of us like little girls.

Della takes a deep breath and complains to dad.

“She is trying to steal Ethan from me. Even when she is…” she trails off without completing her

sentence.

I roll my eyes. To my relief, dad replies, “I have been meaning to talk to all of you about it. Now that we are all sitting in the same room. I guess it’s high time we discuss this.”

“About what?” Joy asks.

“It’s about Ethan. His behavior has been irking me lately. The way he cheated on Avery and trapped

Della.”

My lips twitch at dad’s choice of words. ‘Trapped Della!‘ I am sure she willingly slept with Ethan. I
