Chapter 211
The orphanage was filled with children who had been abandoned by their parents. When Aveline was a child back then, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had been abandoned too.
Why didn’t her parents want her after giving birth to her?
So, for all these years, she had never thought about looking for her biological parents.
Russell, noticing her distracted expression, said, “Maybe something happened to your family, or perhaps you were taken away. It’s all possible. Do you want to find them, Aveline?”
“I haven’t decided yet,” Aveline replied.
Russell said, “Take your time to think it over. When you’re ready, let me know. I can help you.”
Aveline looked at him, feeling touched. “Russ, why are you so good to me?”
Russell saw the familiar look of admiration in her eyes, and it made his heart ache. He choked up a bit and said, “Because I’m your friend, remember? Haha.”
Aveline smiled slightly. “I’ll think about it.”
“Good.”
Russell didn’t want to continue the topic.
Did he really appear like a friend to her?
He squinted, recalling the first time she saw him and the amazement in her eyes.
Why was it gone now?
Sigh…
By noon, Aveline made lunch, and Russell didn’t refuse to eat together. He left only after their lunch.
Aveline sat on the couch and called Selena.
“Hello?”
Selena’s voice was soft.

Aveline asked, “Is it inconvenient to talk?”
Selena replied, “No, I just don’t want him to hear my voice and start bothering me again.”
Aveline felt a pang of sympathy for Selena.
“I sold the Maple Garden property,” Aveline said.
Selena paused. “So quickly? How much did you sell it for?”
Aveline said, “Eight million.”
Selena’s tone became excited. “That’s fantastic, truly fantastic! My dear, you’ve become a wealthy woman overnight!”
Aveline continued, “I also plan to sell my previous property and then leave Cloudflare City.”
“What? You’re leaving Cloudflare City?” Selena exclaimed, her voice rising a few
octaves.
She quickly covered her mouth and glanced towards the bedroom to check if there was any reaction from Aaron. Hearing nothing, she lowered her voice and asked, Ave, what happened?”
“Nothing happened. I just had a sudden realization. I’m here alone and don’t see a point in staying here anymore,” Aveline replied.
Selena said, “I’m glad you finally figured it out. I support you!”
Aveline added, “Once you’re done with your situation, come over for dinner. But don’t take too long because I’m planning to sell this place too.”
Selena replied, “If everything goes well, I should be done in about a week.”
“Okay.”
Aveline hung up the phone.
A smile appeared on Selena’s face. She was genuinely happy that Aveline had come
to this decision.
She put her phone away and hummed a tune as she headed to the kitchen.
Meanwhile…
