Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1032 Not Mom
When Aiwas saw the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

It feels as if time has stopped at this moment.

She wore a demure dark green dress with transparent yellow lace decorations at the neckline and cuffs that reminded people of dead leaf butterflies. In terms of the iris people's clothing aesthetic, this was considered a very low-key and simple style.

She had light makeup on her face, which made her look much younger. Her long white-blonde hair fell to her shoulders, and she wore a light yellow hat decorated with white feathers and green ribbons on her head.

That face was at least 80% similar to the "Anne Alexander" that Aiwass had seen during the promotion ceremony.

The remaining two points are because she is not as young as Anne in the promotion ceremony.

The "Julio Alexander" in the promotion ceremony was 27 years old, and he was a senior of Anne and Mina, two grades older than them. In other words, Anne at that time should have been no more than 25 years old.

This age is when girls are the most beautiful...the moment when all their vitality blooms.

——And now, fifteen years have passed.

If Aiwass's mother were still alive, she would be forty years old.

...It's probably about this.

Perhaps because of the influence of the path of beauty, or perhaps because a wealthy and carefree life itself is beneficial to beauty, Anne looks much younger than her actual age, probably only in her early 30s. But if you look closely, you can still see the faint traces of time on her face.

And it wasn't just Aiwass who lost his composure.

Anne's pupils also trembled violently, and she subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

"Julio..."

She murmured softly, with obvious hesitation in her eyes.

Apparently, Anne had just learned about this... so she rushed over to confirm and take a closer look at Aiwass. But with just this one look, she couldn't hold back.

The intense nostalgia, accompanied by sadness, turned into tears that overflowed from my eyes.

——That is a feeling that is absolutely not false.

Just by looking at it from a distance, Aiwas felt his nose ache.

Originally, when Aiwass learned that there was an "Anne de Vendome" in the Duke of Vendome's house, whose real or fake identity was unknown... his mood was actually subtle and complicated.

After all, his own biological mother was murdered, and now he knows... there is another person who looks exactly like her and is still alive and well. On the one hand, he feels fortunate and happy, but on the other hand, he feels a little lost... In addition, there is also a slight resistance.

He never mentioned this matter or thought about it afterwards because Aiwass instinctively wanted to postpone it.

——Because even Aiwass himself didn't know how to deal with this stranger who was "exactly the same as his biological mother in structure" but didn't know him at all.

Although I would definitely see her if I went to the Duke of Vendôme's house... I would still delay it as much as possible.

Anne is the complete opposite of Aiwass.

After Sherlock left the dream world, he must have informed the Duke of Vendome of his arrival.

If this matter is told to Aiwass when he is not in Iris and does not know about it, Sherlock's safety may not even be guaranteed; it is like offending the friend of the strongest man in the world. Anyone who is a little smart and cautious will not expect "the other party to forgive him", but will most likely choose to destroy the body or find someone to take the blame.

No one dared to gamble on such a thing. Speaking it out would only force someone to kill him. Sherlock was smart enough, so he didn't say a word. Even when Aiwass came to rescue him, he was still speaking well of the Duke of Vendome - this was actually doing the Duke of Vendome a favor.

Aiwass also understood.

If Sherlock was really so safe, he wouldn't be unable to send out a normal notification letter, and there would be no need to ask Aiwass for help.

Now that Aiwass already knows about this and even rushed to Iris... and has already contacted Sherlock in the dream world, there is no point in destroying the evidence at this time.

But since Sherlock wanted to do a favor for the Duke of Vendôme, Aiwass was willing to help him. After all, it was Sherlock himself who was kidnapped, so he certainly had the right to deal with everything. Not to mention, Sherlock did this to avoid making things difficult for Aiwass... This was even a half-favor for Aiwass.

If he hadn't intervened, Aiwass might have even gone to the Duke of Vendôme's palace.

But Aiwass does have the blood of the Vendôme family flowing in his veins... The Duke of Vendôme today may be Aiwass' only living relative in the world. This undoubtedly threw the problem to Aiwass himself.

But Shylock was smart enough not to do so; and the Duke of Vendome was smart enough not to do anything unnecessary.

But what Edwards had never expected was that... Anne could not bear the throbbing in her heart, and before Edwards met the Duke of Vendome, she took the initiative to come and meet him at the door in advance.

——That feeling of blood resonance is absolutely not false.

Anne misses Aiwass' biological father, Julio Alexander, so much.

As a result, she has not married yet and remains single. The complexity and intensity of this relationship made her burst into tears when she saw Aiwass.

When Aiwas looked at the crying Anne, his expression became extremely complicated.

He could sense the throbbing emotions in the other's heart... He could also taste the confusion and timidity in Anne's heart, as well as the courage she mustered, and the untouchable love.

But when Aiwass walked slowly forward... he opened and closed his mouth, but he still couldn't say the word "mother".

The feeling was so strange that he still couldn't put it into words.

"Aiwass..."

Anne sobbed like a little girl and timidly grabbed Aiwass's sleeve: "Can I call you... Aiwass?"

Her voice was distant, yet eager to come closer, like a moth fluttering around a candle flame, sometimes close, sometimes far away.

"……certainly."

Aiwass bowed slightly and responded softly: "I'm honored."

As if he was worried about waking others from their dreams... His voice softened. Anne's hands were very cold, freezing to the bone.

But neither Aiwass nor Anne mentioned the question of "what Aiwass should call Anne". Since he didn't call her mother or aunt, the two of them tacitly ignored the name.

After all, they all knew that Aiwass's mother might be Anne, but it was unlikely that Aiwass would really call her mother.

Aiwass followed Anne quietly and walked towards the gate of the manor.

Arsen was quite tactful and remained silent throughout the whole process, following behind from a distance.
