Forgotten Wife Let the traitors kneel Down (by Patricia Maradiaga) novel Chapter 430

Alessandro gently stroked her cheek and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

“I wish I had more time to be with you. Don’t you feel the same?”

“Yes, I feel exactly the same. I wish I could be with you every minute and every moment of my life, but we have obligations and duties to fulfill, so I’ll be reasonable and not ask for what you can’t give me.”

“I hate that.”

“What thing?”

“I hate not being able to give you everything you ask for.”

“Every day you give me more than I ever dreamed of, more than I could have imagined.”

“Even so, sometimes I feel it’s not enough.”

“Get those ideas out of your mind, because it is enough.”

Alessandro hugged her, buried his head in her collarbone, and breathed in the scent of her body.

“I will miss you so much.”

“I will miss you too.”

“Do you know how long you’ll be gone?”

“Maybe two or three days, I don’t know.”

“Come back soon, otherwise I will come looking for you.”

“You won’t have to do that. I will be anxious to return, and besides, you have to take care of our daughter in my absence, protect her.”

“That you don’t have to ask for, I will take good care of her.”

“Has Cassian still not arrived?”

“No, and that has me worried.”

“I hope he is well and arrives soon.”

The clock’s chimes announced that it was past midnight. Alessandro said:

“It is late now, today has been a long day, we better rest.”

“Yes, that would be best.”

They both went to bed. Alessandro wrapped his arms around Abril, and she could hear the beats of his heart, his breathing. That made her feel calmer because even though she didn’t show it, having to leave her family made her very nervous and anxious. She was afraid that something would happen to them in

her absence.

“Lessan.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Take care of Lissana.”

“Aby, I will take good care of our daughter. Besides, you will be gone for a short time. We will be here

waiting for you.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

Abril buried her face in his chest and said:

“I hate being apart from you.”

“I feel the same way, and if it wasn’t for Lissana, I would go with you.”

“Even though it’s late, don’t come looking for me. You can’t leave Lissana alone, and keep her close while

I’m not here.”

“Aby, is something wrong?”

“No, it’s just that my sister is still out there, and we don’t know when she will come to attack us.”

Alessandro sighed deeply and said:

“That’s true, but if she hasn’t made any moves all this time, I doubt she will now, so don’t worry.”

“I hope so.”

Cassian had to stop and rest at an inn because Maya had started feeling nauseous from the jolting of the carriage.

He put a cold cloth on her forehead to try to alleviate her discomfort.

“Are you feeling better?”

“Yes, and I’m sorry, I’m just slowing you down.”

“Don’t worry about that, the important thing is that you’re okay.”

“That’s why I prefer teleportation scrolls.”
