The foggy capital of London.In the rear seat of the car, Blake was focused on staring at the map on his laptop."Mr. Anderson, we're here." The car slowly stopped, and the driver nimbly pushed the door open, and went to the other side, respectfully inviting Blake to get off.He closed his laptop and stepped out with one long leg.Walking into the villa, the first person who came out to welcome him was a noble and dignified middle-aged woman.Blake, who had always been deep inside, revealed a rare smile on his handsome face, "Aunt." He walked over and gave her a hug.This woman was none other than his mother's twin sister, Esme. She was the original wife of Minister Jensen in the capital and was a woman worthy of her title."You brat, it's rare for you to come to visit your aunt. A few days ago, your mother was still on the phone, crying and saying that you had a car accident. Quickly let me see where your injury is."Blake laughed warmly, he grabbed Esme and sat on the sofa in the li
Daniel smiled warmly but did not say a word. His emotions were like a person who knew himself how to drink water, an outsider would not be able to help him.Not far away, Daniel’s son ran towards them across the lawn. Daniel stood up and carried the child in his arms. "You should go to sleep.”"Good night, Third Uncle." The little one spoke in a childish voice."Good night." When Blake looked at the child, his gaze was gentle yet also carried a trace of bitterness. It was also unknown when he and Avery would be able to have their own children.On the same pitch-black and tranquil night, Avery and Jake sat in the study room and conversed with each other. After Blake left, pressure came from all directions. Even their father's work had met with resistance."Dad, I'm sorry, it was my willfulness that made it difficult for you." Avery lowered her gaze, her small face slightly pale. Her cold fingertips gripped the burning tea cup.Jake patted her shoulder and smiled lovingly, "I have been
"No, we're not here for coffee." Rosa sat on the sofa as she angrily threw out a stack of documents from her bag.Avery lowered her eyes to glance at the document, it seemed to be some kind of investment document, and she didn't really understand what it was. "What is this?""This is mom’s high-yield investment at the investment company. Just because you wanted to divorce Blake, this year's investment company refused mom’s request to renew the contract,” Willa explained with a snort.Rosa’s expression had always been unsightly. She was the dignified wife of the governor, but this was her first time receiving such a vexation. Every year, the investment manager would deliver the renewal contract and interest to her personally, but this year's investment contract was delayed. She called to ask if the other party had actually rejected an offer of less than 20 million. She called Blake, but his phone remained turned off and no one answered. He was obviously avoiding her. She only found out
After facing such a stalemate for a moment, Blake sighed, he stood up and came to her side, then extended his arm and pulled her into his chest, "Avery…""Let go, don't touch me!" Avery suddenly roared, like an enraged little beast, she frantically pushed him, turned, and ran out.The car sped up on the road, and she kept turning the steering wheel. This kind of irrational behavior was extremely dangerous, but Avery had already lost her rationality. Fortunately, there was no danger and the car stopped in front of the city's Arts Academy.It was still raining outside now, and she stood alone in the cold rain, letting the rain wash through her body.Audrey Lopez was an internationally renowned soprano. Although she rarely performed in the past few years, her reputation was still there.Avery was very hazy about her impression of her. She had only seen her grandmother's funeral once. Audrey was her mother's sister, and because she had a hostile relationship with her grandmother, she had
Blake sighed, and couldn't help but start to explain, "Avery, Feliz Cruz is Trevor Smith’s lover, and the child she lost is also Trevor’s. I have nothing to do with her.""But that's not what she told the reporters." After a moment of silence, Avery finally spoke out. In fact, she really wanted to ask ‘Where is Angie? You had nothing to do with her?’ However, she didn't dare to do so, because there were some words that would leave her with no way out once they left her mouth.Blake laughed helplessly, lightly hooked her chin, and joked “It’s not your husband’s fault to be so outstanding, she likes me, and it's not something I can control."Avery laughed helplessly and punched him lightly in the chest.A dull pain came from his chest, but he only smiled and held her hand. "You want to kill your husband?"However, Avery was a doctor, so she could naturally tell that Blake was strange. His face was all pale, and he looked sickly. “What's the matter with you? Is it uncomfortable?" Her han
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
