Chapter 140 Uncovering Many Secrets

Suddenly, Gavyn thought of a pleasant scent.

Wherever Aylin appears, there always seems to be a faint, elusive fragrance.

It’s hard to say whether it was the scent of flowers or the fragrance of medicine, but he later smelled many famous incense and perfumes, yet he couldn’t find that particular aroma.

That was a scent that would relax him and significantly reduce his stress.

Gavyn dashed up the stairs.

The man rummaged through the sp*cious room, searching high and low, even going through the wardrobe and cabinets.

Where did it go?

Gavyn’s forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, indicating the pain he was experiencing.

He remembered that Aylin had once given him a protection charm, which carried this same fragrance, capable of alleviating his headaches.

At that time, she heard that he had been in an accident and suffered serious injuries. Somehow, she managed to find a protection charm for him.

“Hubby, I got this protection charm from Feladon Monastery. It will keep you safe. I’ve also added some herbs inside, which have a calming effect. Wearing it should help with your insomnia.”

She gently persuaded him to put it on.

How did he respond at that time? He didn’t say a word, just looked down at her from a higher

position.

The cold and disdainful expression on his face caused the concern in her eyes to gradually fade away. She could only force a smile and tell him she was going to cook before leaving.

Gavyn was on the verge of going crazy.

Where on earth did she put it? Such a precious item shouldn’t be lost, right?

He was certain he could smell it; it wasn’t just his imagination!

Although Aylin was no longer present, it seemed as if her memories and essence were sealed within this bedroom, never having left.

At last, he found the protection charm hidden beneath the mattress.

The embroidery featured delicate gold threads and fine, intricate stitches. Inside, an unknown fragrance had been added, which, even after all this time, still exuded a faint, lingering scent that

was both refreshing and long-lasting.

It’s definitely it, no doubt about it…

Gavyn rubbed the protection charm, and gradually, his headache really began to subside. A hint of surprise flashed through his heart, as it was unexpectedly effective.

Can Aylin create fragrances?

Gavyn found the idea absurd, as creating fragrances required talent, and it certainly wasn’t something everyone could do.

However, the fact that the fragrance could alleviate his headache was enough to prove that she had put in a lot of effort to consult a master for advice.

Gavyn pursed his lips, tucking the once-dismissed protection charm into the inner pocket of his

suit.

It’s just because this taste can make him sleep peacefully, nothing more.

Having found what he was looking for, Gavyn, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, tidied up the messy room. As he closed the disheveled wardrobe, he unexpectedly spotted something in a side compartment that shouldn’t have been there.

Is it a painting?

Hidden beneath layers of clothing, it seemed as if the artist didn’t want it to be seen by others.

As Gavyn pulled out the painting to take a look, his eyes couldn’t help but widen in awe.

Surprisingly, it’s an oil painting.

It’s a picture of his and Aylin’s grand wedding.

The brushwork is exquisite, and the use of colors is meticulous. The two people in the painting are vividly portrayed, especially the man’s smiling and cheerful appearance, which even makes him

feel as if he is in a dream.

But he had never had a wedding with Aylin, let alone worn a wedding suit. Was this a picture Aylin drew herself to make up for the regret?

Gavyn couldn’t believe it.

He also possesses remarkable artistic skills. The emotions conveyed in this painting are so rich, and the use of colors is so exquisite, that it’s clearly a top-notch work even to the naked eye!

Could it be that she didn’t draw it?

In addition to the paintings, he also found many things in the small drawers of the wardrobe that he

once scoffed at.

On his birthday, Aylin gifted him a fountain pen; for their anniversary, Aylin bought him cufflinks; and during New Year’s, Aylin wrote him heartfelt greeting cards filled with blessings…

As Gavyn continued to watch, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow. A stifling feeling weighed on his chest, leaving a rather unpleasant taste in his mouth.

She had given him so many things, yet she never asked for anything in return.

Surprisingly, he had never given Aylin a single gift, not even a fresh flower or a comforting word.

Aylin, when known as Mrs. Delacruz, had bare hands, not even a single wedding ring to be seen.

For the very first time in my life.

Gavyn began to reflect on himself.

Is he being a rather incompetent husband?
