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
In the VIP private room, Blake personally poured wine for Gilbert Hackle, the President of the Municipal People's Court."Senior, we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years after graduation." Blake lifted the full cup of white wine and gulped it down.He was a student of law at his university, and Gilbert was two years ahead of him. At that time, they were both part of the school basketball team, so they could be considered to have some friends.Gilbert was a man of his word, so he asked straightforwardly, "Kid, you never come here without reason. You must be here for the case of your wife."Blake laughed warmly, "Senior, you know that this kind of case can be big or small. If she was deemed to have deliberately killed people, Avery would probably have to spend the rest of her life in jail. However, if it is classified as manslaughter, then the punishment will be a few years. "Gilbert sipped his wine and frowned awkwardly, "Blake, to be honest, this kind of case, according t
The next day, Avery’s case was officially decided. She was convicted of manslaughter, and because the circumstances were minor, she was sentenced to three years in prison with a suspension of execution for a period of three years.For Avery, this could be said to be the best result. She was released from court. As she walked out of the courthouse, a light drizzle started to fall from the sky. Holding onto an umbrella, Jake stood at the entrance of the courthouse.Avery was only wearing a thin shirt, making her look even more helpless and weak.Jake propped the umbrella on top of her head, embraced her lightly, and comforted her, "Avery, it's alright.”"Yes." Avery nodded silently, her gaze looking around.Jake saw through her daughter's thoughts and sighed, "Today is the day that Madam Anderson will be buried. Blake will not be coming."Avery nodded in understanding before asking softly, "H-how has he been recent?" She knows that Blake is a filial son, and she must feel bad about what
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. She swore that she would ta
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?" After
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." Avery complied, taking out the soft silk pajamas from the closet, then she walked into the bathroom."Avery." He suddenly called after he
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. " Blake replied as he carried her and turned to walk back into the villa."Avery, I don'
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. Avery had bound his phone with his gold card in the morning, his family had clearly swiped some money, and he was still happy that his woman had finally learned to spend his money, but Avery’s gold card had bound his phone, and in the morning, his family’s gold card had obviously swiped some money, and he was still happy that his woman had finally learned to spend his
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
