Chapter 1357 - 1297: The Queen’s Return

Paige called Kiya, but the call couldn’t get through, and Paige was almost in tears.

"How can Kiya do this?"

Paige hugged Sienna Johnson, crying; the child is a woman’s life, and Kiya’s move is really too harsh.

"Adrian already sent someone to chase after them. Maybe they’ll catch them halfway," Sienna consoled.

This issue is truly troublesome.

Kiya, as the child’s father, naturally has custody rights. Even if they call the police, there’s nothing they can do to Kiya.

After an hour, Adrian returned, but he’s alone.

Paige glanced at Adrian and started crying again. Sienna asked on Paige’s behalf, "Did you find them?"

"Kiya took a private jet. When I got to the airport, the plane had already taken off."

Sienna frowned and said, "This Kiya is really something. Erya is so little, still breastfeeding. How can he take the child away?"

Adrian looked at his sister and asked, "To Abyanabad, you should return."

Sienna incredulously looked at Adrian, not expecting him to not support Paige but to rather suggest she returns to Abyanabad. If she returns, doesn’t that mean Kiya’s plan will succeed?

"How can you say such a thing?" Sienna disapproved.

"Kiya is Ella’s father."

"Paige is also Ella’s mother. Erya is so small, still breastfeeding, always inseparable from Paige. If Kiya truly loved Paige and Erya, he wouldn’t do this," Sienna said indignantly.

"..."

"Can’t you steal Ella back?" Sienna asked.

Adrian frowned, "Don’t get involved in this matter."

"Paige is my sister-in-law. Naturally, I have to involve myself in her matters."

Adrian looked at Paige and said, "... Think carefully, if you’re truly not planning to stay with Kiya, you must be prepared to lose Dylan and Ella; or, be ready for a life on the run, living in hiding."

Sienna was infuriated, "Why? Just because he’s the Sultan, he can bully people like this?"

Paige cried for a while, then stopped crying.

Seeing her brother and sister-in-law arguing for her sake, she said, "Sister-in-law, please stop. I know you’re doing this for me. Brother, take Dylan and me back to Abyanabad."

"Paige?" Sienna tightly held her hand.

Paige sneered, "If he’s not merciful, I won’t be righteous!"

The relationship between the two had been improving, but because Kiya was too eager and stole Ella away, it returned to a freezing point.

Sienna sighed and said, "... I won’t say much. Don’t compromise yourself. Your brother and I will always stand by your side, no matter what decision you make."

"Thank you both."

Dylan knew he had to return to Abyanabad, his heart heavy. This time, they were going directly to the Imperial Palace, a place Dylan didn’t like.

"Dylan, if I go to Abyanabad, can I stay in the big palace?" Curly looked at Dylan, full of expectation.

In Curly’s mind, the palace is a beautiful place where Snow White and Sleeping Beauty reside.

"Actually, the palace is not as fun as here."

"How is that possible?"

"Really, I’m not lying. I don’t want to go back to the palace at all..." Dylan said, looking dejected.

"But, weren’t you happy about going back a while ago?" Curly scratched his head, asking strangely.

"We agreed earlier; though mom, sister, and I would return to Abyanabad, we wouldn’t stay in the palace... I don’t know why mom changed her mind suddenly."

George said, "Aunt is very angry."

"Yes, my dad took my sister away, which made my mom upset," Dylan sighed.

The three children squatted there, sighing.

"Adults these days really don’t let children have peace of mind," Curly said.

"Ay..."

"Ay..."

"Ay..."

...

Abyanabad’s Imperial Palace,

Paige appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, holding her son’s hand.

Paige wore a black T-shirt, skinny jeans, and white sneakers, exuding youthful energy like a college student still in school.

The Queen Dowager despises women dressing like this, believing not wearing Abyanabad’s traditional attire is a betrayal and a display of rudeness and lack of upbringing.

"Mom, do we really have to stay here?" Dylan asked softly.

"Don’t worry, we won’t be here long."

"Why?"

"Because the Queen Dowager doesn’t like me."

All women bear grudges; if a man makes a mistake, a woman can remember it for a lifetime.

Kiya’s theft of Ella enraged Paige.

Paige’s return to the palace this time wasn’t meant to make everyone comfortable.

The palace guards not only refused to let Paige pass but even tried to drive her away. Paige wouldn’t leave. Her daughter was in the palace, and she wouldn’t leave.

"Mom, why don’t we call dad?"

Paige hugged her son. When he left, he was a sickly, fragile child. Now he’s tall and strong.

Her decision to leave the palace back then was absolutely correct; returning is a huge mistake.

"Because mom refuses to endure any longer!"

Even if she was forced to return to the palace, Paige decided not to endure anymore.

If the Queen Dowager does not provoke her, it’s fine; if provoked, she will retaliate.

Kiya received news that Paige and Dylan had been waiting outside the palace for two hours.

Kiya hurried over; usually, the Sultan’s special car drives directly into the palace, but at this moment, it stopped at the palace entrance.

Before the assistant could open the car door, Kiya impatiently opened it himself and stepped out.

"Paige?" Kiya looked at Paige, his delight mixed with disbelief. Paige’s attitude was extremely cold.

"Where’s Erya?"

Kiya strode over, touched his son’s head, and looked at Paige, saying, "I’ve hired an experienced maid to take care of her. She’s doing well, you don’t need to worry."

"The Queen Dowager won’t let me in, Sultan, what do you think we should do now?"

"This is our home, you are my Queen, no one can stop you from returning to our home."

Kiya picked up his son, holding Paige’s hand in one hand, and strode towards the palace entrance. No one dared to stop the majestic Sultan.

Guards bowed to Kiya.

All along the way, Paige received many looks, showing surprise, puzzlement, curiosity, and schadenfreude... Paige kept her face cold, completely ignoring them.

The Queen Dowager’s maid ran over, head bowed, and said, "Sultan, the Queen Dowager said she has something to discuss with you and asked you to come over immediately."

"Go back and tell the Queen Dowager that I will be there shortly."

When Paige left, it caused a scandal. He must personally hold Paige’s hand and escort her to the bedroom, showing those in the palace who change with the wind his attitude clearly.
