Chapter 446

When Wallace mentioned France, I recalled that my biological mother—Natalia Ravens—was a permanent resident in France. She was also the wife of a powerful duke. With my down jacket on me, I rejected his offer. “I don’t have time.” “Your mother asked me to invite you. She wants to see you and is currently waiting for you in a castle in France,” Wallace said, grinning. I was shocked. “You know my mother?” Wallace stretched out his hand and tried to pat my head but was stopped by my glare. He rubbed his own head and said, “Yeah, I’ve always known her. The royal gown you wore last time was a gift from her.” “She did not ask for you to give it to me in that manner. To be honest, I find it hard to believe you because of what you did last time.” Wallace shot back with a question. “You don’t believe that I know your mother?” I headed towards the helicopter in silence as Wallace followed behind me, trying to explain, “I’m telling the truth. I know your mother. She’s married to my uncle, and I’ve lived with her for several years when I was young. Although she’s my aunt, I called her ‘Mom’.” I stopped in my tracks and recalled Wallace mentioned how much his mother loved Eustoma, and my mother also loved Eustoma. If it was not for that, the Schick family mansion and Mount Wu’s slopes would not have so many Eustomas planted there. Wallace’s words convinced me that he was telling the truth. Seeing that I was affected, Wallace took out his phone and made a call before handing it to me. “If you don’t trust me, see for yourself.” “Who are you calling?” I asked. Wallace did not answer and just looked at me with a smile on his face. I brought the phone to my ear and heard an exceptionally gentle and delicate voice calling out for me. “Carol, it’s me.” I frowned and asked, “Who is this?” Right after I asked, I realized who it was. I did not expect Wallace to call her directly. “Carol, it’s Natalia.” She did not dare claim to be my mother. “Oh, it was Wallace that called you.” My tone was calm—as calm as a stranger. “Carol, I want to meet you.” Although she had given me away back then, she was still the one that gave me life. The two situations canceled each other out. However, she had given me a kidney when I was young. That gave me the hope to continue living. In the end, I was still indebted to her. By right, I should go meet her. However, that meant nothing. I was just grateful for the kidney. “Yeah, I’ll be in France later.” I returned the phone to Wallace. He followed along behind me as I boarded the helicopter. I had Leo kick him out, but he grabbed onto my sleeve and asked with a smile, “Since you’re heading there, take me with you. Plus, you don’t know the way there.” It fell on deaf ears as Wallace then threw out an irresistible offer, “Zachary’s trapped in Finland because of the Jean family. If you bring me back to France, I guarantee that I’ll leave your man alone for the next six months.” In the end, I took Wallace along aboard the helicopter.
