Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2498 Sheena looked thoroughly displeased, but with tears brimming in her eyes, she swallowed her pride and whispered, "I'll listen to you this time, Grandpa. Honestly, I've always been grateful to Uncle Reginald and that annoying Andrew for everything they've done for me; | just never had the courage to admit it or say it out loud. When Andrew almost got killed today, | realized I'd rather die myself than see him hurt." Donovan smiled faintly. "That's good to hear. As long as you two stay united, the Lloyd family will stand tall through any storm or disaster.

That's enough for now. | heard Conrad's back, and his duel with Andrew is about to begin. I'm planning to send Andrew away from Chetvine after that, to his next destination." Sheena's eyes widened. "You're sending him away? Grandpa, isn't Chetvine the safest place for him right now?" Donovan shook his head. "No. For an eagle like Andrew, the sky is his only true sanctuary. Smothering him with protection would only do him harm. His world is the vast, open earth and sky, a realm where no one can ever hope to restrain him.

"This time he leaves, but when he returns, the Lloyd family will be his and his alone. Reginald and | have agreed on this. By the time he comes back, no one in Holtrien will be powerful enough to hold him in check." ---- Sheena stayed quiet for a moment, then nodded firmly. "Alright. I'll follow whatever the family decides." Donovan waved his hand. "Go on then. Oh, and send in the overseer from the Assassins Division." Sheena frowned. "The Assassins Division? Grandpa, what are you planning to do?" Donovan's tone turned cold. "Wilder has no right to exist anymore.

That old bastard Otto really thinks the Lloyd family has no bite left. By tonight, Wilder's head will be hanging at the gates of his own house, and every last member of the Murphy family will be wiped out. "When Andrew came back to Chetvine, he didn't retaliate, and now everyone thinks the Lloyds have gone soft.

But I'll make sure they all remember that even without Reginald, | can still hold this family together." Andrew had no idea about the conversation between Donovan and Sheena, At that moment, he was leaning under the eaves of the porch, lounging comfortably while someone offered him a slice of apple. "Honey, have another one," Rowan said sweetly, though her voice trembled with shyness. ---- Her 'honey' still didn't sound very natural. She always blushed when she said it, and only dared to call him that when no one else was around.

Andrew tilted his head toward her, his eyes glinting with mischief. "My love, would you share a bed with me tonight?" Rowan's face flushed red as she pouted. "You wish, you scoundrel." Andrew chuckled. "Come on, I'm not that bad... | only love pretty women." Rowan's cheeks turned an even deeper shade of red. "So you're saying I'm a pretty woman, then?" Andrew shook his head. "No, not just pretty... You're drop-dead gorgeous. The kind of girl who makes people lose their minds with one look." Rowan's heart melted, and she beamed with joy.

Her smile was bright and breathtaking as she said, "You really know how to talk, don't you?" She suddenly protested, "Hey, don't move. What are you doing?" Andrew had already leaned closer, grinning. "Come here, let me steal a kiss." ---- Rowan turned away, mortified. "No way!" However, Andrew was persistent, moving in with a playful grin as if he meant to take the kiss by force. "Well, isn't this quite the scene?" a mocking voice sneered from nearby. "She says no, and youre still going for it.

Andrew, you really are a shameless bastard, you dog." Andrew froze, the irritation clear in his eyes as he turned to look. "Who's there?" His expression dropped instantly. Standing there, glaring daggers at him, was none other than Valerie. "What the hell are you doing here?" he asked bluntly.
