Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down

130 I want to know more about my mother Alessandro returned to his office, he continued working until it started to get dark, he went directly to the dining room, he hoped to see April, however she was not there, only Cassian was.

_ Where is April? Why hasn't she arrived yet? _He said he was sleepy and went to bed early.

_ Without dinner? _It seems so.

Alessandro was worried, April never skipped a meal.

_I'm sorry Cas, but I can't go with you either, I want to go see how Abril is.

_Don't worry, I'm not even hungry, I'll go rest too.

_Good night, brother, I'll see you tomorrow.

Alessandro went to his room, and when he entered he found the lights off, the only light was the moonlight that filtered through the windows.

In the middle of the bed he could see April, she seemed to be sleeping.

He approached her and when he saw her sleeping face, he wondered if she was okay.

He stayed with her for a while, then changed his clothes and got into bed, putting his arms around her, enjoying the warmth of her body.

He kissed her on the forehead and wished that tomorrow would come so he could confirm that she was fine, that nothing was wrong with her.

That night Alessandro could hardly sleep, although Abril seemed to be fine, he felt that something was not right.

When April opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was his worried, haggard face; he caressed her cheek and asked her.

_ How are you? April tensed up upon hearing Alessandro's question.

She wondered if Gabriel had told her that he wasn't feeling well, but since she wasn't sure of anything, she decided to lie.

_I'm doing great.

_ Are you sure? _Yes, I have no doubt.

_You didn't have dinner yesterday, I was worried about you, I thought you weren't feeling well.

_Don't worry, I feel fine, I was just a little tired, I had a busy day yesterday.

_It's really just that.

_Yes, that's all, so change that worried face.

_Cassian's naming ceremony is coming up soon, I want us to dance together on that day.

_But I'm not very good at it yet.

_But you will, I'm absolutely sure of it.

From that day on, April started to get much busier, I received classes on how to manage the palace and a few classes on the etiquette to follow at dances.

But since she was still tired from breaking the second seal, she went to sleep early, and when Alessandro arrived in the room she was already sleeping.

April had gone out for a walk in the garden, several days had passed since she had broken the second seal, but her body still felt heavy, she went out for a walk in the garden before the sun completely set to clear her mind, she stopped in front of some camellias, from them she could smell a sweet aroma that made her relax.

_Sophia.

A voice said behind her.

That voice was familiar to her, although she didn't understand why he had said her mother's name, she turned around.

He was a man with messy blond hair, April asked him.

_ Who are you? _I'm Ethan, we've already met once.

April remembered that he had called her Sophia back then too, at that moment she realized who that man was.

_You are my mother's friend.

_That's right, I'd like to talk to your mother for a moment, could you have her come? April shook her head.

_Things don't work like that, I can't make my mother appear whenever I want, on the contrary, she only appears in my dreams when she needs to tell me something.

_I see.

April could see the disappointment on Ethan's face, she told him to cheer him up a little.

_But if she appears in my dreams I'll tell her that you want to talk to her.

Ethan doubted that Sophia would ever see him again, she had already said goodbye to him, however, he couldn't accept that goodbye, he wanted to see her again and tell her how much he loved her.

_ I will be eternally grateful if you do that.

April stared at him, finally asking him.

_ Did you know my mother well? _That's right, we've been friends since we were kids.

Abril didn't know much about her mother, she told him.

_I don't know anything about my mother, could you tell me what she was like and if she had family, if I have more family in the elven kingdom.

_I see you already know what we are.

_Alessandro told me this a few days ago and since then I can't stop thinking about what she was like before she married my father.

Ethan frowned when she mentioned his father, apparently hating him too.

But he answered her question with some sadness.

_Your mother is a sweet, tender, compassionate, happy and brave woman, she is a wonderful woman.

April noticed that when Ethan talked about his mother, his eyes shone with great emotion, she recognized that emotion, it was love, she asked him.

_ Did you love my mother? _Yes, and I still do because for me she is and always will be the only one in my life.
