Chapter 52
Robert looked at Xavier who was silent and had a solemn expression.
Then he silently winked at Stella and Leo without saying anything.
The two of them understood and stood up to leave.
“Xavier, do you hate me?”
After Stella and Leo left, a few minutes later, Robert slowly spoke.
Xavier raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him.
This elder, who had been leading the Cavanaugh clan for nearly sixty years, was someone he would respectfully address as “grandfather”.
Hate?
Six years ago, when he was just expelled from the Cavanaugh clan, there was such a thing.
However, as time passed, he gradually grew from an ordinary soldier to the Warrior of the Heavenrage Legion.
The so-called hatred no longer existed!
“No!”
When Robert heard this simple word, a gratified smile appeared on his weathered face.
His grandson had finally grown up!
“It’s just that there’s something I don’t understand. Grandpa, please tell me the answer.”
Xavier stared into Robert’s eyes and asked in a deep voice..
“Do you want to ask why I sent Aurora to Koruame?”
As if he had already guessed it, Robert voiced the doubts in Xavier’s heart.
Xavier nodded.
The Eight Clans in Starhaven had to send a group of clan members into Koruame every eight years.
It seemed that ever since the Eight Clans were established, they had been adhering to the rules.
However, Xavier could not understand why the Cavanaugh clan sent Aurora there.
After sorting out his thoughts, Robert frowned and explained, “Koruame is the forbidden zone of Avaloria. The world only knows that our enemies come from the other 100 countries in the external region, but they don’t know that the real enemies of Avaloria come from the forbidden zone of Koruame.
“The mission of the Eight Clans in Starhaven is to guard the forbidden zone of Koruame. Every eight years, we have to send our elites into Koruame.
“Eight years ago, you weren’t an adult yet and didn’t have the qualifications to enter Koruame. Among the third-generation legitimate members of the Cavanaugh clan, only Aurora was an adult.
“In other words, Xavier, Aurora… went to Koruame on behalf of you!”
Boom!

O
After Xavier heard this, he stood up in an instant. His eyes were red and his face revealed a shocked expression.
“Aurora… went to Koruame on behalf of you!”
As the words echoed in his mind, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
“Aurora… So you went to Koruame for me…”
His chest felt like it was blocked by a huge rock. A strong sense of bitterness surged up. Xavier had mixed feelings.
Then, he retracted his thoughts and asked, “Then when can Aurora come back?”
“In three months, Koruame will be opened and Aurora will be able to return!”
“Three months…”
After muttering to himself, Xavier was reminded of the brave soldiers from the Matrix clan who appeared on Warren Street during the evening’s fight.
Hence, he told Robert the whole story.
After Robert heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, “Alas, I didn’t expect her to come back.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Aurora’s mother, your father’s first wife, Yvonne, the first daughter of the Matrix clan.”
“Yvonne?”
“That’s right. During the War of the Hundred Kingdoms a cycle ago, I saved the leader of the Matrix clan, Kaleb. Afterwards, our two clans arranged a child betrothal…”
After hearing Robert’s explanation, Xavier immediately understood.
In that era, child betrothals were popular, especially between the Cavanaugh clan and the Matrix clan, these two large clans
in Starhaven.
Marriage alliances were often used to maintain the bonds and bridges between large clans.
The Cavanaugh clan and the Matrix clan were no exception.
The subjects of the inter-clan marriage were his father from the Cavanaugh clan and Yvonne, the legitimate daughter of the Matrix clan.
However, for some reason, Xavier had a strange feeling when he thought of his father marrying the legitimate daughters of three clans.
His father, whom he had yet to meet, was indeed a little strong!
As the legitimate son of one of the Eight Clans in Starhaven, it was normal for his father to have a legal wife and some mistresses outside.
The problem was that it was simply a miracle to be able to make the legitimate daughters of the three clans fall for him!
Xavier was a little curious. What method did his father use?
“Then why didn’t Aurora’s mother return to the Cavanaugh clan?”
Xavier looked at Robert and asked again.
“It’s a long story. Back then, the Matrix clan encountered a shocking change. Your father did not help the Matrix clan.

“I think… she came back this time to take revenge on your father.
“Xavier, you have to be careful. Now that the Matrix clan has made a comeback, every member of the Cavanaugh clan might become her target.”
Robert’s face darkened as he warned earnestly.
Suddenly, he remembered that Jenson had been kidnapped by the Anderson clan. Xavier had doubts in his heart.
“Yvonne, did you… kidnap Jenson?”
A sharp glint flashed across Xavier’s eyes and soon disappeared.
At night, the Cavanaugh clan held a family banquet.
After the banquet ended, Yara dragged Stella to leave. The mother-daughter pair went to talk and vent their sorrows.
Meanwhile, Robert walked into the courtyard with Leo and started playing chess.
Xavier brought Lucretia and their son to his small courtyard.
The courtyard house of the Cavanaugh clan occupied a huge area.
It was about 300 acres.
There was a garden, fish pond, rockery, golf course…
He had everything he needed.
It could be called a royal garden!
Xavier’s courtyard was located at the easternmost part of the courtyard house. As early as noon, servants had already cleaned it.
“Mom, are we going to sleep here tonight?”
In the simple and bright room, Jenson pointed at the only large bed and asked.
Upon seeing this, a blush flashed across Lucretia’s perfect face. “That’s right. Daddy and Mommy will sleep with you tonight.”
“Okay, okay. I want to sleep between Mom and Dad.”
Jenson danced with joy.
Xavier’s eyes flashed when he heard that. He muttered softly, “Are you sleeping in the middle? What a brat!”
When the night fell completely, the room became dark.
Jenson slept between Xavier and Lucretia with his arms and legs spread.
The air was exceptionally quiet, and there was a faint sound of uneasy breathing.
“Xavier, why don’t you move Jenson over there?”
Lucretia’s panicked voice came from the darkness.
It was as thin as a fly and almost couldn’t be heard clearly.
Fortunately, Xavier had the strength of a Warlord and his hearing was exceptionally good.

Then, he reached out and pushed Jenson to the side.
Then, he sat up and came behind Lucretia.
“Oh!”
Plop!
Plop!
Feeling Xavier’s body temperature, Lucretia’s heart beat faster, and words couldn’t describe how nervous she was. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Previously, there was still a barrier between her and Xavier.
Then, after experiencing the events of the past few days, the grudge in Lucretia’s heart had completely disappeared.
“Wait a minute.”
Sensing Xavier’s carelessness, Lucretia suddenly stopped him.
“What’s wrong?”
The arrow was already on the bowstring, so he had no choice but to go on!
Xavier’s anxious voice came from the darkness.
“I want you to promise me something.”
“What is it?”
“In the future, you must not be like your father and fool around. Otherwise…
“I won’t let you in my bed for the rest of your life!”.
“I swear that in this life, I will only be good to you and Jenson. If I go against my words, I will be struck by lightning!”
“Yes, I believe you!”
The night was getting darker and darker. A crescent moon hung high in the sky.
In the small courtyard, there was only a meowing sound like a kitten that lingered for a long time.
