The ancient clock on the floor let out a heavy clanging sound. Time passed and it was already noon. He called for takeout, then got up and walked to the bedroom door. It was time to wake the lazy lady.

“Avery, quickly get up and eat. You'll get a stomachache if you get hungry for too long." His tone was warm and gentle.

The room door was quickly opened. Avery's long hair was bundled up and her eyes were bright. It was obvious that she had woken up a long time ago. "What do you want to eat?"

"Your favorite seafood pizza, and fruit salad and tart." Blake very naturally held her small hand and walked into the dining hall.

The two of them sat at the dining table. Avery drank a cup of warm milk, picked up a piece of pizza, and placed it into her mouth. But when she ate, she took a small bite, which gave her an indescribable elegance.

"Eat the egg while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold." Blake raised a piece of egg tart and placed it next to her lips, obviously wanting to feed i

    Pushing the door open, the apartment was empty without a single trace of human life. He searched through almost every room before finally finding the figure he was yearning for in the garret's flower room. She must not have known how much he missed her, how he whispered her name even in his sleep.He walked over softly, but Avery did not realize his approach. Her back was facing him and her body was hidden in the light. Her mist-like pupils were lowered and slightly unfocused."What are you thinking about?" His arm was wrapped around her soft waist. Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the flower room for so long, but her body was emitting a faint lily fragrance that seeped into his heart.After a moment of astonishment, Avery turned around to look at him. The light in her eyes gradually became clear. “Why are you back?”Blake smiled and did not answer, but asked back, "Do you miss me?"Avery lowered her head and did not say a word, biting her lips tightly.Blake did not force her,

    "Queenie, you and Trevor …" Avery probed."As you know, I'm a poor student, and he funded all the money I get from graduate school. He can be considered my financial backer,” Queenie replied very casually. Of course, there had never been such a thing as a free lunch in this world. Trevor had supported her on tuition and living expenses, and what she could repay was his own body."But Trevor is not a man who can be trusted for life. Queenie, staying by his side is only a waste of your youth and emotions." As a friend, Avery reminded her in good faith.Smiling towards Queenie, a hint of ruthlessness flashed past her eyes extremely quickly. That expression flashed by, and it was so fast that Avery was completely unable to catch it. "Don't worry, I know what to do. But it's you, I didn't expect the rumors between you and Mr. Anderson to be true.”Avery pursed her lips, fell into silence for a moment, and then heard Queenie ask, "Is he a good person that you can entrust your entire life to

    After kissing him, Avery pushed the distance away, not even an inch, and did not dare look at him with a reddened face. However, she already understood in her heart that she wouldn't be able to escape from her today. If he wanted to, she would find more reasons to ask for her. She would definitely have a reason for her to compromise."It's over just like that? I see you don't want to go to the Department of Health, do you?” He pinched her small chin between his fingers and forced her to look him in the eye.Avery was forced to raise her eyes. There was an indescribable innocence and grievance. "Yes, I think." But she really didn't.The smile on Blake's face became even more bewitching. He rests his arm on her shoulder and supported her with force, bringing her to sit on the wide desk. “It doesn't matter if it doesn't. I'll teach you.” He put a hand on the back of her head, and the kiss fell like a storm. His tongue pried its way through her teeth, licking his every time it came into c

    Avery lay on the soft princess bed and looked indifferently in the direction he left in. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what he was thinking. This man was like the deep sea. One moment she was calm, the next she could be turbulent. It was as if she had never understood him.Avery tossed and turned, how could she still sleep? She heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, followed by the deliberately slow sound of footsteps. He lifted the quilt and laid down beside her.Blake only lay beside her, carefully, without touching any of her limbs. If he really needed Avery's body to get what he deserved, then who the hell would he? He did not want to have anything left between him and Avery other than business deals.They did not sleep, each thinking about their own thoughts. The room was strangely quiet, so quiet that even the light breathing could be heard clearly. However, the sudden ringing of his phone broke the silence of the night."Dad …" Blake switched on the answer

    That night, Blake tossed and turned, sleepless. On the next day, at dawn, he drove back to his apartment, but Avery was no longer there. He sat alone on the bed in his bedroom. His palm gently caressed the bed she had slept on.A bitter smile leaked out of the corner of Blake's mouth. He never thought that there would be a day when he needed to use this kind of method to comfort his yearning.On the weekend, Secretary Yang's birthday banquet was held in his own villa. As the first person to hand over his seat in S city, almost everyone wanted to give him some face. Almost all the famous people in S city were here.The banquet was organized in a very low key, and the identity of the host was not suitable for an extravagant display.Blake wore a hand-made black suit. It was a low-key and luxurious suit, almost no different from normal. Only, there was an extra snow-white hand on his arm, his five fingers were beautiful and slender, and even his nails had been meticulously trimmed."Blak

    After taking care of the wine stains on her body, she made up her makeup and her exquisite face returned to its usual beautiful state. Satisfied, she put away her cosmetics and prepared to leave. It was at this moment that the lights in the washroom suddenly went out. The narrow space instantly turned pitch black.Angie was a little afraid and fumbled her way towards the door. Just as she touched the light, her body was pushed back by an unreasonable force, and the person who came pushed her firmly against the wall, locking the bathroom door at the same time.He pressed her lips against his, and his tongue swept over her mouth. The smell of alcohol made her almost unable to breathe.“Ugh!” Angie continuously struggled, with only whimpering sounds coming from her mouth. A man's natural advantage was that she was unable to shake him in the slightest. In a moment of desperation, she bit down on his lips and tongue. The thick taste of blood filled their mouths.The man groaned in pain and

    The door opened as she screamed hysterically. Blake rushed in angrily and picked up the man who was lying on Avery's body. His iron fist landed on the door.The man sat paralyzed on the ground, enduring punches and kicks as he cursed, "Whom the fuck doesn't want to live anymore, to actually dare to hit my woman."Blake's eyes were bloodshot, he was furious to the extreme, he pulled the man up from the ground and fiercely pressed him against the wall, "You dare to touch my woman, I will cripple you today." He raised his foot and kicked the man's groin, his fist raised, about to land on the man's face, when the searchlight outside the window illuminated the dark room. They finally saw each other."Trevor?" Blake's fist barely brushed past the tip of Trevor's nose, if this fist really fell, Trevor would definitely be crippled.Trevor's legs were tightly clamped together as his body slowly fell to the ground and collapsed along the wall. He was trembling non-stop from the pain, and most o

    After sending Maeve to the unit, Blake drove to the hospital.In the sick room, Trevor lay on the sickbed, his hands wrapped in a cast."You’re not dead yet?" Blake threw the fruit basket in his hand to the side and sat down on a chair beside the bed.Trevor immediately grimaced when he saw him, "Your fucking actions were too ruthless, you almost broke me.""Serves you right." Blake coldly swept him a glance, picked up an orange and peed it, then asked, "What did you find out?"Trevor pursed his lips and let out a cold snort, "Do you still remember Gian?”Blake's finger which was peeling an orange paused slightly. He had never had a photographic memory, and the memory of the woman who was his secretary for the past three months was even more vivid. Gianna is the predecessor of Jane, a top student who graduated from Harvard University in the United States. She is beautiful and very capable. It was a pity that he was too ambitious and daring, and he actually dared to drug his wine to be

    Trevor had given more than enough face by driving the car himself. He was the quickest person, always the one who could not stay idle. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Angie's indifferent and calm face."Aiyo, Miss Lopez seems to be in good shape today. It looks like she's not sick. I was still worried when we arrived. If you go crazy in my car, I'll directly push you out of the car or send you to a mental hospital."His joke made Angie's face change, "I'm not crazy."Trevor shrugged his shoulders and laughed, thinking: When she went crazy, he was a madman."Did Blake ask you to come to me?" Angie asked again."Do you think I'm willing?" Trevor was still smiling mischievously.However, Trevor, who was in front of her, suddenly splashed a bucket of cold water. "Miss Lopez, don't be so emotional. Mr. Anderson fears you will have a sickness that will hurt his precious little face."Angie's rosy complexion immediately became pale, her fists clenched tightly.

    Blake was silent for a moment. His tall and big body was utterly shrouded in darkness, "What if I say that I don't care?""Do you know what you're talking about, Blake?" Even Esme, who was pointing at his arm, was trembling slightly. “I think that girl completely bewitches you. Do you know what bloodlines are? When you get to my age, it'll be too late to regret it. ""I won't regret it." Blake's words were firm, and each word was loud and clear. He would never regret loving Avery.After speaking, he picked up his suit jacket from the sofa. It was already very late, and he still had to rush back to get Avery up and take some medicine. Aunt, Dad, I didn't come back to quarrel. I know that you all are doing this for my good, but you all have never understood what I need. I am thrilled to be together with Avery. "And this kind of happiness was enough to make up for all the shortcomings in his life."What do you know? Do you think saying sweet words when the two of them are in the prime o

    The two of them dined in a Western restaurant with a candlelit dinner. It was a romantic and cozy dinner. Under the candlelight, the bright red wine in the wine cup shone brilliantly. Beside the dining table, a professional violinist was playing the violin. The sound of the violin was so long that it was intoxicating.After dinner, Blake drove Avery back to the villa. He stayed with her, watching her sleep.Avery's sleeping visage was quiet, her delicate, long eyelashes casting a shadow over her skin.He carefully covered the corner of her blanket, his movements extremely gentle. He was afraid that he would wake the sleeping girl. Avery, good night, a good dream. "He bent over and kissed Avery's forehead, then stood up and left.The car broke through the night and sped along the road, its destination being the villa at Anderson Family.Blake walked into the house. In the living room, General Anderson and Esme were talking, and the niece was playing with bricks by the side. She wore a

    Prof. Johnson shook his head and sighed. He didn't know if he should call her stubborn or stupid. "80%." The professor of Prof. Johnson answered in a straight line.Avery was motionless, with a frown between her brows, when she heard Prof. Johnson add, "Mortality rate is 80%, so I hope you won't take the risk. To exchange one's life for another is, in medicine, an act of folly. "Walking out of the hospital's gate, Avery looked up at the sky, her small face pale to the point of transparency. It was obviously warm, like spring, but Avery suddenly felt cold. Her lead white hands gripped her collar tightly, pulling her outer robes tightly, still feeling cold."Ma'am, shall we go back?" The driver came over.Avery shook her head, "Take me to the amusement park. I want to relax.""Alright, alright." The driver eagerly opened the door for Avery.The amusement park had always been a paradise for children, but it was also spring. The children's laughter could be heard constantly from the amus

    So it was a different time.Now, she was crowned with such a big hat in the name of love. Even more so, Avery couldn't bear it. The noble ladies of the upper class were naturally qualified politicians. If Avery still didn't leave after taking her big hat, she would become the executioner who destroyed Blake's life, causing his life to be incomplete.However, at this moment, the elegantly dressed woman sitting in front of her, who had always been aloof and aloof, did she know what love was?Love is not only to achieve, love or not to leave, but love is also to stick to; love is always together.Avery knew that it was impossible to have children and that her life was destined to be incomplete. She never had selfishly wanted Blake to be as vague as her, but she only wanted him to stay by her side for one more month, one more day, or even every minute and second.Her suffering, her pain, who could understand it?Avery's eyes became moist, but she smiled: "What do you want me to do?"

    When Blake returned to the bedroom, Avery was still awake. She said that she was tired, and that was just an excuse.Avery stood before the bedroom window, quietly looking out in that direction. She just so happened to see Audrey's car leave."What are you thinking about?" He took her in his arms from behind and held her gently in his arms.Avery silently shook her head.Blake sighed, "Can't you forgive her? Avery, Dr. Zuri plotting to kill you had nothing to do with Aunt Audrey. She's just like you, and she's a very kind person. ""Can you not talk about this?" Avery turned around and hugged him, her head gently resting on his chest."Mm. Alright." Blake replied warmly, his eyes deep and serene. He knew that Avery was escaping."You should go to the hospital for reexamination tomorrow. Sleep early, and I'll accompany you there tomorrow.""Alright."

    Her words made Blake's face darken instantly, "Avery, do you know what you're saying? You're going to push me to someone else, aren't you? "His deep gaze fell on her, sharp with a trace of helplessness and sadness. His two fingers suddenly exerted force, extinguishing the cigarette's tip at his fingertips.Avery's head was pressed down very low, and her ice-cold little hands grabbed onto his warm and thick palm. Her voice was timid, like a child afraid of being punished for something wrong, "I, I didn't mean that.""What does that mean?" Blake was a little angry. What he disliked the most was her everyday look. She was always filled with sympathy, and she always quickly pushed him away, making him feel like she did not care about him at all."I just feel sorry for her." Avery's voice was getting lower and lower."She is not pitiful, and it has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with me.

    It turned out that the night had already begun to sink.“You’re back.” She gave him a soft, gentle smile.Blake squatted before her and gently caressed her pale face with his palm. How long have you been here? “My body is so cold.”“It wasn’t long. The room is too stuffy, so I came out to get some fresh air.” Avery replied indifferently.Blake smiled, and without saying anything further, he carried her up from the ground and walked into the villa, “Didn’t you go to the department store earlier this morning? What did you buy?”“Nothing.” Avery casually replied.“Oh? Didn’t you have high-end female clothing? “Blake asked.

    Dina did not care about the Lee family members and pounced towards Quizza's face but was stopped by a cold voice."Dina." Avery, who had been silent all this time, had finally opened her mouth. She stood up and slowly walked over, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and the gaze that landed on Quizza's body carried a faint iciness."And who are you? "Mind your own business." Quizza's best friend was the first to speak.Avery smiled gently, the corners of her lips slightly raised, ethereal, and beautiful. I am Avery Foster, the ex-wife of Blake you all mentioned before, who can't give birth to a child and can die at any time. "Quizza was slightly shocked, and she sized Avery up from top to bottom. She was indeed a wonderful woman, with a faint and elegant temperament, remarkably similar to a bit of daisy that bloomed in the sun during the summer, but in her eyes, Avery was not an obstacle for her on her path forward because her disease did not even cause her the right to enter the J
