Chapter 1404 - 1344: Your Heart Is Biased

Paige Desmond swallowed the second half of the sentence.

After a long and deep kiss, both were slightly out of breath.

She tugged at the buttons of his shirt, looked up, and glared at him fiercely, angry that this man always disrupted her hard-won peaceful life.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Don’t get too close to other men, I can’t stand it!"

"He’s my friend, in what position are you to say such a thing? Don’t forget, we’re already divorced. Your mom almost killed me!"

This was the first time the two confronted each other directly after the severe accident.

Paige Desmond harbored hate in her heart; her Ella was still so small, so little, if she died, her Ella wouldn’t even remember her face.

Thinking about her child possibly losing a mother, losing maternal protection, Paige Desmond felt hatred arise.

"Paige, calm down, I’ve locked her in the mosque, and as long as I’m alive, she will never come out.

She won’t have the chance to harm you again!

Please, don’t be angry with me, okay?" Kiya explained to Paige Desmond his treatment of the Queen Mother hoping to gain her forgiveness.

Paige Desmond turned her face aside, not appreciating it.

"I know you are not satisfied with this outcome, but she is my mother after all, I really can’t let her go to jail."

Paige Desmond slowly pushed him away, and said, "She committed murder, and should be sentenced to death! Jail is too light... and you only locked her in a mosque."

"..."

"I almost died, my two children almost lost their mother, but you only locked her in a mosque!

Do you think this is a punishment?

No!

This isn’t punishment!"

"..."

"Kiya, you are the Sultan of Abyanabad, yet you are not fair at all! Your heart is biased, whenever it involves your mother, you are no longer the wise and smart Kiya."

Kiya had no words to say, he knew she resented him, so he didn’t dare face her, kept postponing, hoping she would cool off over time. But in reality, Paige Desmond always remembered, and the hurt remained, unforgettable and never forgiven.

"I’m sorry! I apologize on behalf of my mother!" Kiya knelt, lowered his noble head, sincerely admitting his wrong to Paige Desmond, seeking her forgiveness.

The Sultan of Abyanabad only kneels to the almighty Anna!

Paige Desmond sighed, helping Kiya up, "What’s the point?"

Kiya refused to get up, "Can you forgive me this once? Paige, I swear, I won’t let my mother hurt you again."

"I won’t give her the opportunity to hurt me again either. Get up..."

Kiya refused to rise, determined in his posture, Paige Desmond snapped, "Get up! Did you hear me?"

"Did you forgive me?"

"What if I forgive you? What if I don’t?"

"..."

"Kiya, you always force me! You always think you’re right, always considering yourself, have you ever considered me? Have you ever considered what I want?" Paige Desmond accused with every word.

She wanted to abandon everything in the past, start a new life, but he kept appearing unexpectedly, trying to drag her back into misery.

"I can’t let go of you, if I could, I wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to pursue you in the first place."

"..."

"Paige Desmond, touch your heart and ask yourself, in these years, how have I been to you? I’ve been wholeheartedly devoted, I gave you my entire heart.

I know I have a difficult mother, but what should I do? She is my mother, what can I do?" Kiya asked, unsure himself.

"Get up!"

Kiya defiantly kneeling there, refusing to rise, Paige Desmond angrily decided not to help anymore, just let him kneel there.

Both were angry inside, falling silent for a moment.

After a long while, Kiya looked up at the silent Paige Desmond, her face had no smile at all, just staring emptily, without focus, at the window.

Thinking about how this woman smiled so brightly at James Winslow, but wouldn’t show even a hint to him, Kiya became angry, jealous, furiously jealous.

"I hate him flattering you, I hate you smiling at him... You can stay in Sileria City if you want, I won’t force you, but you cannot fall in love with another man!

If you fall for another man, you’d rather kill me!"

Paige Desmond mocked him intentionally, "A filthy heart only sees filthy things!"

"I’m jealous!"

"..."

Kiya reiterated, "I’m jealous!"

Paige Desmond sighed and said, "Winslow and I are just friends, Winslow has someone he likes."

"Really?"

"Believe it or not."

"I believe! As long as it’s your words, I believe it all!" Kiya responded instantly, the gloom in his heart dispersed by her mere words.

"Can you get up now?" It really isn’t a good look, Paige Desmond didn’t want to see a man kneeling before her.

Kiya stood up, looking down at her, his eyes showed a hint of cautiousness.

"Did you come this time to take me back?" Paige Desmond asked firmly, "I’m not going back! I don’t want to return to Abyanabad anymore!"

"No! I didn’t plan to take you back, if you like it here, you can stay here... I just saw you so close with James Winslow, I thought you two..."

"Thought we what?" Paige Desmond sneered.

"I thought you fell for him."

Paige Desmond retorted sarcastically, "Kiya, I dare not like any man now."

Whom Paige Desmond liked, Kiya would brutally handle that man, Paige Desmond didn’t want to harm anyone.

These days, Paige Desmond thought about it. If she ever wanted to remarry, that kind of thing can’t even be imagined, Kiya absolutely would not let her go.

She doesn’t have other thoughts now, just wants to live in Sileria City with her children, far away from Abyanabad and Kiya’s mother.

In Kiya’s heart, Queen Mother is always the most important.

The Queen Mother almost took her life, yet Kiya forgave her, how can Paige Desmond trust this man?

Indeed, a mother is irreplaceable, but a wife can be found again.

Paige Desmond eyed Kiya with slight mockery, a cold gaze making Kiya felt increasingly uneasy.

Paige Desmond had not forgiven him at all.

"Are you hungry? I’ll make you some curry to eat." Paige Desmond diverted the topic, not wanting to argue further.

"I don’t want to eat," Kiya said despondently.

"Then when will you go back?"

"Tonight!"

Paige Desmond glanced at the clock, it was 12 o’clock, not many hours left, Paige Desmond laughed, "I’m hungry, going to the kitchen to eat, you do whatever you want."

Paige Desmond didn’t want to face Kiya’s depressive mood.

She just needed to get through these few hours, then she could send this man away.
