Avery nestled in her father's embrace and silently nodded. She had never had the heart to hurt anyone, but all this was cruel to her.She forced herself to hold back her tears and washed them away the tears in the washroom. When she walked into Blake’s room, she had already changed into a jolly appearance."Dad just came. He left because he had something urgent to do." Avery sat down on the side of his bed and started peeling an orange."What did Dad say?" Blake’s gaze instantly fell on her small face that was lowered.She forced out a smile, and joked, "Father said that if you bully me again, he won't forgive you."The corner of Blake’s lips slanted indistinctly as he pulled her into his embrace and asked, "What kind of bullying?"Avery swung her fist and hung it on his chest, not light nor heavy. Then, she buried her face in his embrace, bit on her lips, and endured the tears that were about to come out.Blake embraced her frail body, the smile on his lips didn't change, but his eye
"Is it boring?" Blake whispered into her ear."Not bad." Avery gave a slight smile. Right at this time, Trevor, who was standing in front of them, walked over, accompanied by Feliz.Avery was slightly taken aback, but even though she maintained her composure, the look in her eyes grew deeper."Director Anderson, Mrs. Anderson, how have you been?" Feliz was the first to speak and smiled."Feliz took the American Green Card, so she's going to go abroad and settle down tomorrow. Today, it's considered a farewell banquet.""Have a nice trip, Miss Cruz." Blake clinked his cup with hers indifferently."Thank you." Feliz raised her head and drank the wine in her cup. Her beautiful eyes flashed with ridicule and bitterness.Last night, Trevor suddenly barged into her house, tormenting her in his bed until he was half dead. No matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail. Afterward, he coldly put on his clothes and played with the taste, "The taste is so good. If I don't enjoy it properly bef
On the stage, Angie gently held onto the microphone, "As everyone knows, today's banquet is hosted by Director Anderson for his wife, I wonder if I have the honor to invite Madam Anderson to join hands with me and play a song?"Applause rang out from below the stage, and for a moment, Avery was the center of attention. The spotlight shone on her body, illuminating her pale face that was almost transparent. Not to mention that she did not know how to play the piano, and even if she knew how to play the piano, it was undoubtedly a joke. Angie wanted to humiliate her in front of everyone.Angie gracefully stood on the stage, her eyes filled with provocation. Since the other party had already made a move, how could she not accept? She stood in front of the microphone and smiled faintly, "How could I dare to be so unruly in front of the piano goddess? Let me sing a song for everyone, and thank everyone for your support for the charity work."The scene was in complete silence, everyone had
"If you walk out of here tonight, Blake, it will be over between us." Avery’s tone was as light as goose feathers, but each word was as heavy as gold.Blake looked at her deeply. His unfathomable eyes struggled for a short moment, but in the end, he still resolutely pushed her open and leftAvery seemed to have lost all of her strength, she suddenly collapsed to the ground, the corners of her mouth raised into a bitter smile, and her tears of despair fell drop by drop onto the wooden floor, this time, they had finally reached the end.She struggled up from the ground and walked to the window. Opening a corner of the curtain, she saw that Blake’s Range Rover had parted the night sky and slowly driven away from her line of sight.The large villa was terrifyingly quiet. She ate almost half a box of sleeping pills before she managed to sleep, as only deep sleep could numb her aching nerves. In her sleep, however, her brow remained furrowed.On the other side, the sound of hurried footstep
He lit a cigarette and puffed out a few puffs of smoke. His eyes were focused on a single point, a deep and terrifying gaze. Angie was his past. He could not shirk his responsibility. Even if he was as rich as a king, he could not change the past that had happened.Perhaps it was because they had met too late. If the person he had first met was Avery, there would not be so much pain and twists between them! Right now, the only thing he could do was to use all of his strength to love and make up for Avery.After extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, he dialed his assistant's number. "The schedule will be changed to one week, and I'll be free for five days after the contract is signed.""But next week you have an important teleconference with Mr. Smooch, and..."The assistant reminded him, Blake always had a packed schedule, and he really wanted to give in to forty-eight hours per day. Now that he was suddenly left empty-handed for five days, it was simply a fantasy story."D
The travel journey did not seem long. The plane landed smoothly. Only, in the following two days, Avery barely saw any trace of Blake. He seemed to really be very busy.Avery locked herself in the hotel every day. Besides eating and reading, she had nothing else to do.This situation continued until the evening of the third day. She stood alone at the window in a daze. Outside the window was the western lake that was enveloped by the setting sun. Thunder peak and the setting sun illuminated everything within ten thousand miles. She was so beautiful that she did not seem like a human being.A pair of sturdy arms silently wrapped around her waist from behind, faintly familiar with the aroma of tobacco enveloping Avery within. “What are you looking at?” he asked.Avery turned her head around, and what she saw was a handsome face. She naturally did not know that in order to spend more time with her, Blake had worked continuously for two days and two nights, and had almost not slept at all
Under his overbearing and gentle coaxing, Avery still gave in. His coldness and wildness gave her extreme pain, and also brought her endless love.He tortured her until she fainted under him, only then did he let her go.Under the dim moonlight, her skin was as clear as white porcelain, and her long eyelashes were covered with bright tears.He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her eyes. If Avery opened her eyes now, she would definitely be able to catch the deep emotions that were lingering in his eyes.In her dreams, Avery’s body unconsciously approached the source of the warmth. Her head rested on Blake’s arm, her small, fair face was tranquil as the corner of her mouth curved into a faint arc.Blake laughed as he picked up the phone, capturing her beautiful sleeping visage, and then set this photo as his phone's screen.“Avery, I will remember that smile on your face at this moment. It is even brighter than the sun." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying to he
Avery struggled in her heart until she got news from the hospital that Eva was dead. She sat paralyzed on the chair, her eyes were unfocused and she could not say a word.As long as she exposed Audrey, her mother would never be able to come out of jail again. Moreover, she was a famous person, so this would only cause her to lose her reputation.How could Avery bear to let this kind of thing happen? Right now, the only thing she could do was remain silent.Everyone's testimony was disadvantageous to her. Not long after she was locked up in the police station, people from Anderson Family rushed over. Everyone looked at her with cold and apologies.But Avery did not care about all these, she only cared about Blake, what would Blake think of her after such a thing happened?Butch Anderson sat in his seat without saying a word, causing Tammy and Jace's eyes to turn red from crying.Susana was the one with the most intense reaction, "Look at the good wife you've married… she pushed mother
