Chapter 666
In Ndola, the sun came from behind the clouds in the morning. The dazzling sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, spilling into the house built of red bricks and tiles.
Under the sun was a lean, slender figure with thick wavy hair. From a distance, the scene was as breathtaking as a textured oil painting.
Holding Grace in her arms, Taya fumbled for the bread on the plate, tore it apart bit by bit with her gloved hands, and inserted the bits into the little girl's mouth.
Grace opened her chubby mouth and craned her neck, leaning her mouth closer to the toast handed over by her Aunt Taya. After biting into the soft toast, she looked up at the person sitting across from them.
Amon took his time to slice the steak with a knife and fork. After cutting it into strips, he forked a piece and raised it to Taya's mouth.
"Rosalie, open your mouth."
Grace was greatly confused. Her Uncle George had mentioned that her mother's name was Rosalie, while her aunt's name was Taya.
Yet, the strange uncle would always address Aunt Taya as Rosalie, so Grace could barely tell the difference between her mommy and Taya.
Her thoughts were a mess, but Grace dared not ask about it, for fear of the grumpy strange uncle, so she could only lower her head to eat her breakfast in silence.
When her lips came into contact with the steak, Taya turned her head slightly. "It's greasy, I don’t have the appetite for oily food."
Amon didn't force her to eat the steak. Instead, he placed the steak aside and picked up a small golden spoon to scoop a spoonful of porridge and raise it back to her lips. "Porridge, it isn’t oily."
Taya didn't resist again by opening her mouth to eat up the porridge in the spoon.
When Amon saw her yielding in, the corners of his lips curled, his smile as warm as the sunshine outside the window.
As the man fed the woman breakfast, the woman did the same to the pup. It was such a beautiful scene like a family of three.
Only the woman knew deep down that she was trapped in a cage created by the man, never able to escape...
She compromised and agreed to play as Rosalie, but Amon stopped her eye treatment to prevent her from escaping.
Taya had tried retaliating, but when it came to a lunatic, her weak strength was barely enough.
Just like half a month ago, she stumbled and fled in the dark but ended up getting lost in the forest because she couldn't see...
After Amon found her, he punished her for her misbehavior, while his way of punishment was to attack Grace.
When Taya heard Grace's cries, she was forced to keep all the tricks away and dare not ever attempt escaping again, knowing that she would never succeed as long as she couldn’t see.
She had never been so eager to restore her eyesight. Only when her eyes were healthy once more could she find a way to leave with Grace.
