Aww Seven Exes Begged Cute Blocked novel Chapter 90

**A Promise Written on the Rusted Edge of Time by Dael Rowan Sire**

Once the Collins family received confirmation that legal charges would indeed be filed, an immense wave of relief washed over them. It was as if a heavy weight had been lifted, allowing them to finally breathe freely.

With a renewed sense of purpose, they entrusted their lawyer with the remaining details of their case, then set off to return to Madrid, their temporary refuge. Although they were miles away from their familiar home, they felt liberated from the burdens of social drama and the constant worries that had plagued them for so long. Avery, in particular, felt a lightness in her heart, a sensation she had almost forgotten. For the first time in ages, she could truly relax.

As the days rolled by, Avery gradually settled into her new life in Spain. The vibrant culture, the rich history, and the warm sun felt like a balm on her soul. Her parents, ever supportive, began to inquire about her future aspirations. With a playful glint in her eye, Avery plucked a piece of fruit from the bowl and playfully fed it to her mother.

“Mom, I’ve been pondering that too. A part of me is eager to dive back into my studies, but there’s also this enticing thought of taking a break. Maybe I should find a job and gain some real-world experience, you know? What do you think?”

As she spoke, a gentle breeze rustled through the garden, carrying the scent of blooming flowers. Her father, ever the attentive one, emerged with two cozy blankets draped over his arm, a broad smile illuminating his face.

“Honey, you’re about to turn twenty-three in just a few days. Trust me, there will be plenty of time for work later on. I’d much rather see you explore what brings you joy. Whether it’s more schooling or traveling the globe while you’re still young, both options sound fantastic to me.”

Her mother nodded in agreement, affectionately tapping the top of Avery’s head as if to seal their pact of support.

“We will back whatever decision you make, sweetheart. There’s no rush at all. But first, let’s focus on your birthday! Another year older—how do you envision celebrating this special day?”

Birthday celebrations? Avery’s mind began to whirl as she reflected on the countless birthdays she had spent with the Miller family in her twenties. This would mark her very first birthday in Spain, and suddenly, a flood of ideas burst forth in her imagination.

“Since we just moved here, what about a pajama party with the neighbors? Or perhaps we could visit Aunt Kate in Iceland. Is this the right season to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights? But then again, I kind of want to try surfing or maybe even skiing…”

Seeing their daughter animatedly grapple with these delightful options filled her parents with a profound sense of relief. They had welcomed Avery into the world when they were nearly thirty, pouring all their love into her upbringing, hoping to shield her from unhappiness. Yet, in their attempts to protect her, they had inadvertently allowed Ethan to cause her deep pain. For a long time, their hearts had been heavy with worry.
