Chapter 292: The choices we make.

Alexander’s POV

By the time we arrived in Velaridge City, night had already fallen.

A convoy was waiting by the private airstrip.

Alicia carried Aimy in her arms.

I had tried several times during the flight to carry the little girl for her, but she refused every time, holding Aimy as though someone might take her away.

I couldn’t understand it.

Back in Rosewood Town, she had trusted me enough to let me carry Aimy.

The moment we landed in Velaridge, however, that trust seemed to disappear.

Not wanting her to misunderstand my intentions, I stopped insisting and simply guided them toward the waiting car.

I opened the rear door for her.

She slid inside without a word.

I took the seat beside her.

The drive was unusually quiet.

Even Jim remained silent.

When he first saw Alicia at the airport, the shock on his face had been impossible to miss. Alicia, however, had been so focused on Aimy that she hadn’t noticed him at all.

Every now and then, I caught him stealing glances at her through the rearview mirror, as though he still couldn’t believe she was really here.

Since my new estate was farther from the city center than the villa Alicia and I had lived in two years ago, the journey took longer than usual.

From time to time, Alicia looked out of the window.

Confusion flickered across her face as unfamiliar streets passed by.

She never asked where we were going.

She simply remained silent.

Almost an hour later, the convoy finally entered the estate.

The vehicles continued deeper inside until they stopped before the last villa at the end of the road.

Even from a distance, the security was impossible to ignore.

Guards stood watch from the estate entrance all the way to the villa.

It stood alone.

Large.

Quiet.

Exactly as I had left it.

The only difference...

This time, I wasn’t coming home alone.

The security vehicles dispersed toward the garage while ours stopped at the front entrance.

I glanced sideways.

Alicia was staring silently at the villa.

One of the guards hurried over and opened my door.

Another stepped toward Alicia’s side.

I raised a hand, silently stopping him.

Walking around the car, I opened the door for her myself.

She still made no move to let me carry Aimy.

So I simply stepped aside.

She climbed out slowly, her eyes never leaving the villa.

"Shall we?" I asked quietly.

Only then did she look at me.

Without saying a word, she walked toward the entrance.

Her steps were slow...

Almost hesitant.

I pushed open the front door.

She paused briefly, taking in the brightly lit interior before finally walking inside.

The staff immediately noticed us.

"Welcome home, Mr. Blackwood."

"Welcome, ma’am."

Each person greeted respectfully before continuing on their way.

Yet every one of them stole curious glances at Alicia.

None of them recognized her.

They had all joined the household after she left two years ago.

"Mr. Blackwood, why did you return so la—"

Maria’s voice stopped abruptly.
