Chapter 1464 - 1404: His Ex-Girlfriend

Randall waved his hand, unwilling to listen to his apology, "The Queen Mother is guilty beyond doubt. She not only killed my mother, but many others... Kiya, haven’t you forgotten that she almost killed your woman?"

Kiya trembled, as if someone had struck a sore spot.

"You love your wife so much, don’t you hate her? You know, she almost made you lose the woman you love most."

"..."

"Kiya, before pleading for the Queen Mother, think about your woman! You’re so biased, it will disappoint the woman you love."

Kiya lowered his head; Paige had been disappointed in her for a long time. If it weren’t for his persistent clinginess, Paige would never have been with him.

They have yet to remarry, legally they aren’t a couple, and when Kiya thinks about this, his heart feels heavy.

Randall’s sharp eyes seemed to see through Kiya’s heart, "The Queen Mother is your mother, you can’t bear to act against her. I’ll kill her for you, and you can pretend to know nothing, won’t that be great?"

Kiya replied, "But I already know."

"It’s my fault, I should have killed her earlier, then you wouldn’t have to worry." Randall’s lips curled with cruel sarcasm, "However, the Queen Mother’s life is really tenacious. She’s been tormented by me for so long and still hasn’t died."

"..."

"Her sins are heavy; why hasn’t she gone to hell yet?" Randall made no effort to hide his hatred and resentment towards the Queen Mother.

Kiya gazed at Randall, pleading, "No matter what she’s done, she’s still my mother. Please spare her life.

She... right now..."

Randall looked at Kiya and suddenly burst into laughter, "The great Sultan, wise his whole life, but so muddled for the sake of his wicked mother."

"..."

"Kiya, this is called covering up! You know full well the Queen Mother is guilty, yet you don’t report her; you’re as guilty as she is!"

"Yes, I’m not a good Sultan, so I gave the Sultanate to you."

"Do you think that by doing this, it can lessen the sins between you and your mother?"

"What do you want me to do?" Kiya asked.

Randall didn’t immediately refuse and said, "I got it, let me think about it, I’ll give you an answer in a few days."

Randall’s words surprised Kiya, as he thought this man would make things difficult for him.

"Thank you."

Randall stood up, didn’t say a word to Kiya, and strode out.

Kiya stood in the reception hall, gazing at everything familiar around him, yet feeling strange. He discovered he was increasingly unable to adapt to everything here.

Gavin walked in, sizing up Kiya, and seeing that Kiya was fine, finally felt relieved, "Sultan, let’s go."

"Mm."

Kiya also left the reception hall, rushing out as though something was chasing him.

...

On Saturday morning, Paige didn’t go to the shop; she rested at home.

Ella had learned to crawl and loved crawling around on the big bed. Paige worried she’d fall off and watched her closely.

Ella crawled to the edge of the bed, Paige blocked her, "Ella, crawl backward; if you crawl forward, you’ll fall."

Ella smiled, turned around, showing her bottom to her mother, and crawled backward again, very enthusiastic about her newly learned skill.

The phone suddenly rang; it was Abyanabad’s number. As she had quite a few Abyanabad clients, Paige assumed it was a new customer and answered.

"Hello, I am Paige. May I know who you are?" Paige’s voice was pleasant.

The other party didn’t answer, so Paige asked again, "Hello, can you hear me?"

"..."

"Strange." Paige didn’t mind and hung up the phone.

On the other end, Randall was stunned, gripping the phone tightly. He hadn’t expected in his lifetime to hear that woman’s voice again.

Her voice was still as melodious as before, like a lark, refreshing and pleasing.

"Sultan, what’s wrong?" Hans, the attendant beside him, asked.

Randall put down the phone and asked, "Who is the former Sultan’s woman?"

"Gulit."

"No, I’m not asking about her. I’m asking about the woman living with Kiya in Sileria City." Randall explained.

Gulit had already committed suicide, so the woman in Sileria City couldn’t possibly be Gulit.

Kiya was not fond of women, and over the years, there was only one Gulit and one Princess Consort, but that Princess Consort had divorced.

What was that Princess Consort’s name again?

Randall asked, "I remember Kiya had another Princess Consort, who divorced Kiya back then. What was her name?"

Hans said, "Because it’s a royal scandal, the news has been blocked. I’m not very sure myself."

Hans came to the Imperial Palace with Randall, so he wasn’t very clear about royal secrets either.

Randall fell silent.

Randall asked, "Is the phone number you gave me for Kiya’s woman correct?"

Randall handed the phone to Hans, who checked it carefully, and it was correct, "Sultan, it’s correct."

"You, go check who the woman of the former Sultan in Sileria City is? What’s her name? I want all her information."

Hans had a stomach full of doubts, not understanding why Randall wanted to investigate Kiya’s woman, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Hans went to investigate Paige.

Randall sat in the gem-encrusted chair, lost in thought. After a while, he summoned the maid who had served Kiya’s former Princess Consort.

Through those maids, Randall learned that the woman Kiya deeply loved was named Paige; Kiya’s queen was Paige, not Gulit.

Paige, his ex-girlfriend.

When Hans brought Paige’s information over, he saw that unforgettable face, and suddenly felt that fate was truly a trickster.

"Paige!"

He looked at the photo of her still beautiful face, her radiant smile seeming to warm his cold heart.

In her arms, she held a little baby who looked a lot like her, a daughter she had with another man.

A wave of profound sorrow washed over Randall, making him feel his life was a complete tragedy.

They were once lovers. He thought their relationship was stable and wouldn’t change because he went abroad.

Unexpectedly, he went abroad despite her opposition, and she really did as she said—broke up, never to meet again.

Randall dialed Paige’s number again. As soon as the call connected, he heard that familiar voice again, along with the babbling of a little baby.

"Hello, who exactly are you?" This strange number had called her twice but refused to say anything.

"Randall."

This time, it was Paige who fell silent.

"I’m glad you still remember my name."
