Chapter 228: A Second Chance

Greg quickly pressed his lips together, realizing his blunder, while Ava scolded him under her breath. Rain couldn't shake the rush of curiosity and concern. Was Uncle Ben really involved in something so dangerous? 

"Rain, dear… if you have questions, I believe you can ask Alexander about it later," Aunt Ava reassured her, sensing her unease. "But don't worry; I assure you that Ben is just a victim in all of this. He's a good man." 

She wasn't judging Uncle Ben, but Rain couldn't help not wanting to know more about the situation. Her Aunt Melanie had already suffered enough, and her safety was a top priority for her.

Thankfully, Alexander approached them and then handed little Sean to Greg. He grabbed Rain's hand and, with a casual smile, announced, "Now that everyone has formally met my wife, I'll be taking her with me. We still have a lot of exploring to do."
