Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 128

131 Laughing like good friends Ethan approached April and caressed her hair, she looked exactly like Sophia,

except for her hair, Sophia's was blonde and straight, April's was reddish and curly, that's why when he had seen

her in that town with blonde hair he had confused them.

_You really are his daughter.

_Sorry.

_You are her spitting image, if your hair was blonde, | would say you are her.

_It actually makeshappy to know that I look like my mother and not my father, well, although I inherited my

hair color from him.

When April mentioned her father the soft and sweet expression disappeared from Ethan's face, it changed to one

full of hatred and resentment; April backed away from Ethan, there was something about him that scared her.

Cassian had gone out for a walk in the garden when in the distance he saw April who was with Ethan, he hurried

to where they were, worried that she might do something to him.

When he arrived where they were, They saw that April was backing away, she looked a little scared.

_Stay away from her.

Ethan took a few steps back, raised his hands high and said.

_l didn't do anything to him, we were just talking.

Cassian stood between them, covering April with his body, and said to her.

_You are not allowed to be here.

_ Don't | have permission? Am | a prisoner? Ethan laughed sarcastically and said.

_Don't forget that I'm an ally, you have no rights over me, I'll go wherever | want.

_ This is not your house, you can't do whatever you want.

Ethan started to walk away and said to her.

_ You should treat your allies better, lest they becenemies.

When Ethan had gotten far enough away Cassian asked April.

_ How are you? Did he do something to you? April shook her head and answered.

_We were just talking.

_ About what? _About my mother, they were friends so | asked her what she was like, | didn't know her, | was

curious.

_But a moment ago you seemed scared.

_I mentioned my father, his expression changed completely, he scareda little, but he wasn't rude, so you

shouldn't be rude to him either.

_l don't like it, | can't be nice to someone | don't like.

_ Why don't you like him? He seemed very nice to me.

_Because of the obsession she has with you, it's weird.

_Actually, I understand him perfectly.

He toldthat he loves my mother, that even if she is dead, she will be the only one for him.

| look a lot like my mother.

I think that when he sees me, he misses her.

_Still, you shouldn't get too close to him and above all don't mention to Alessandro that you talked to him, my

brother is very jealous, he'll be furious if he finds out that the two of you were talking alone.

_Okay, | won't tell him anything.

April realized that since they had returned from the trip they barely saw each other during meals since everyone

seemed to be very busy, so she told him.

_It's been a long tsince we went for a walk, do you want to go for a walk with me? _Of course.

As they walked April asked.

_ Maya hasn't returned yet? No, and to be honest, I'm already worried.

He said he'd be back in three days, but it's been a week and he still hasn't returned.

_Maybe he had sproblem, I'm sure he'll be back soon.

_I hope so.

April had seen that Maya and Cassian were very close, and above all she had heard the servants talk about

them, they said that they were more than friends since they slept together, she could not hide her curiosity any

longer and asked him.

_ Are you in love with Maya? The question surprised Cassian greatly, he couldn't help but let it show on his face.

_ Why do you ask that? _It's just that the servants have been talking a lot about you, they say that she will most

likely becyour wife.

Cassian felt a little uncomfortable talking about that topic with April since she had been his first love and he still

had feelings for her, but she looked at him with expectant eyes, so he just answered without giving many details.

_That won't happen.

_ Why not? _She said she can't get married, she didn't tellthe reason.

_ Does that mean you asked for it? He didn't answer.

But it wasn't necessary.

Cassian was like an open book, all his answers appeared on his face.

April laughed and said.

_Your face says that you did ask him, although it seems that he rejected you.

_That's right, I've been rejected, so let's not talk about it, | feel like you're stabbing my heart with a dagger when

someone else says that.

_Okay, | won't talk anymore about how they rejected you.

_You say you will do it, but you keep repeating it.

_ Sorry, I'm a little slow with sthings sometimes.

_ Alittle? Sometimes too much.

They both laughed softly, the way people do when they're just happy to be together.

April told him.

_It's been a long tsince we spent ttogether.

_It's true, | think we've hardly seen each other since we got back.

_That's right, Alessandro toldthat you will leave the palace after the appointment ceremony, you are my first

friend, | will miss you.

_I will miss you too.

_This place will be very lonely when you're gone.

Cassian, seeing the sad expression on April's face, said to her.

_Con, there's a place | want to show you.

April followed him to a small garden that was hidden behind sbushes, although it was hidden, it looked very

well kept, Cassian told her.

_This is one of my favorite places, | used to chere to think when | was little or when | felt lonely.

_ When did you feel alone? _Yes, | know it seems like I'm contradicting myself, but it's true, my mother showed
