Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Alaric was standing in front of Ava Wesley's door. "Hi! My name is Alaric, I'm a friend of the family. Is Ava here today?"

"Miss Ava is not here right now, but I will inform Madam if you would like to come in," the maid said as she went to call Mrs. Wesley.

He was wondering where Ava was. Was she in school? Was she upstairs? The anticipation was killing him. He could not wait to see her.

"Hello Aunty," Alaric got up when he saw Mrs. Wesley coming down the stairs.

"I'm sorry, my dear, but I do not remember who you are…," Mrs. Wesley was trying hard to pinpoint who this handsome young man was. Was he here to court Ava? Was he one of her friend's sons?

"I know it has been a while. I'm Alaric Mendes, my dad and Mr. Wesley used to be business partners, and I used to play and hang out with Ava and Sara when we were younger," he said.
