Revenge on My Heartless Husband and Daughter (Tiffany) novel Chapter 192

But not even three minutes later, we drove by an identical area down to a similar looking log cabin and the same colored flowers in the field.

“I

guess ponds, hills, and flowers aren’t that unique in the country,” I muttered as a feeling of defeat settled low into my stomach.

“We should have known that it wouldn’t be as easy as driving through the countryside,” Ava said and crossed her arms with a sullen look on her face.

“We can’t get discouraged now,” I told Ava, even though I wasn’t exactly in the mood to give a pep talk. “At least we know that we are in the right general vicinity.”

Ava sighed, but then she straightened her shoulders and nodded. “You’re right. We can’t allow a little setback to throw a wrench in our plans.”

After another twenty minutes of driving, Kelly pointed out a weathered–looking wooden sign that read ‘Osten Village‘.

“You can park in this clearing near the front of the village,” Kelly told Richard and gestured to the wide open field in front of us. “My uncle’s village is too narrow to fit a car through.”

As I climbed out of the car, I spotted at least three sleek luxury cars parked in the distance. /Their perfect paint jobs and hard edges stood out in the rustic village. Were most villagers living here rich? Had they chosen the countryside because of the quiet and the privacy? Or an entirely different reason altogether?

Kelly led the way to the main square of the village.

“Osten Village is divided into two sections,” Kelly explained as she led us down the cobblestone road past charming little shops and even å wishing well. “North and south. The two areas are separated by a river, and the two are connected by a stone bridge.”

She pointed to a narrow white bridge that had been built over a running blue river. The weather was so humid that a small part of me wanted to take a dip in the flowing water.

The four of us followed Kelly to the north bank of the river. As we walked along the grassy, overgrown path, we passed large houses that had also been made from white stone. I was just admiring a house th a front door that had been painted a bright pink, when a large bla dog the size of a wolf came running from the backyard and leapt o us, barking and snarling.

My stomach plummeted, and I screamed in surprise and terror. Quickly, I backed away from the animal, Ava and Kelly following my lead.

Richard stood in front of us and put his arms out to protect us. But Aiden’s eyes widened, and he fan behind Ava. He crouched down behind her and put his hands on her shoulders, almost pushing her into the rapid river.

“Aiden!” Ava hissed. “You almost just made me go for a swim.”

“Sorry, sis. But you know how scared I am of dogs,” he uttered back in a shaking voice.

“He was bit by one when he was five,” Ava explained as we continued to back away from the growling dog.

I didn’t understand how his voice could be so calm while he was standing so close to a beast that seemed intent on attacking him. It was like we were having a conversation about the weather.

“Sit and be quiet,” Richard told the dog in a loud and commanding

voice.

But the wolfhound didn’t listen. Instead, he barked even louder.

I cringed as Richard walked even closer to the dog. Slowly, he lifted his head and gently patted the dog on the head,

“There’s no way that’s going to work,” Ava whispered, her warm breath right next to my car. “Richard’s going to get his hand bitten off.”

But to my complete shock, the dog seemed to be starved for affection because it immediately stopped barking and leaned into Richard’s gentle touch.

“You’re not so scary, are you, buddy?” Richard said in a soothing voice as he scratched behind the dog’s ears.
