"This way, please!" Avery followed the manager. After work, the driver took her here. Since she was going to the event with Apollo. Though Noah didn't tell her what the event was about or where exactly they were going. "These are newly out clothes. We hope you will like them, Mrs Wyatt." The manager smiled at her and gestured for her to take a look around. 'The dresses are so beautiful, I can't decide which one to take... And they are super expensive...' After looking around she stood in one place in a dilemma. The price tag on the dresses she saw was making her think twice before she could touch a certain one among the rest. "Don't you like them? Mrs Wyatt." The manager asked her. Avery smiled cheekily and bit her lips. She took a look around and mumbled under her breath, 'Noah said I have an hour. And I must choose a dress from here. It's not like I don't like them... Fine, I will choose the less expensive one then.' She walked around again. When she was checking on the price

Holding her in his arms, Apollo kicked the door shut by his leg. He gently put her down the bed, taking off her shoes without making a sound Apollo sat next to her. He caressed her face and kept staring at her face.It was indeed him who arranged for her to meet the Knight family, he was as serious as always until he saw her sad. Apollo also was surprised at his own behaviour, he never thought of telling the whole world that Avery was his girlfriend.'I don't know why did I do that but I will protect you like I promised.'Pulling the bedcover over her he let out a sigh.As he stood up to leave, Avery grabbed his hand. Apollo, halted turned towards her and saw her lying on the bed but holding his hand. For a moment, he was nervous. Apollo looked away from her and remained silent.'She just woke up right?'"Uhmm, I have a question. It's not like a question though I mean I just... I just can't figure out the reason." She asserted sounding confused. Back at the party, she the least expec

Whack!'I have to stop him no matter what!'Avery grabbed onto her dress and held her breath as she shut her eyes close in fear. Her heart beating at an unusual rate."I told you to stay away. What were you thinking that you stood right in front of me? I could have punched you just now!" Outraged, Apollo grasped her arms and stared at her, infuriated. Upon hearing his voice, Avery opened her eyes and smiled at him cheekily.'Thankfully I am safe.'"I wanted you to stop."Apollo stared at her coldly. If he was not careful, she would have had a new look on her face."I could have hit your face.""You wouldn't."As he heard her, he looked stiffer. He stepped an inch towards her, keeping his gaze fixed on her as if he was warning her through those blue orbs of his. TO NOT PUSH HER LUCK!He in his raspy voice asked, "Are you sure?"Avery bit her lips. Her eyes shut off and open again.'It is the only way to stop him.' Taking a step she asserted confidently, "Yes, I am..."All her bravery

12 am"It's late, why are not you going to sleep yet?" Avery cut the vegetables and passed them onto a container as she heard him."I am not sleepy yet so I want to try a new dish." She answered."Ohh." Apollo focused on working again. After dinner they both settled in the living room, usually, he works in his study room and she never saw him once work in the living room but tonight, he showed up there himself.Seeing him working his fingers over the laptop keyboard she asked him, "Uhmm, how about you?"Apollo halted for a moment. His gaze intensified as his eyes were glued to the computer screen then it got back to normal."I have some work to finish.""Ohh, okay."Avery was going to sleep, she was indeed tired. Office works were hectic as she was the head chef now. She mainly planned to take a rest but she couldn't leave Apollo on his own.'I know he is not a kid and he probably doesn't need me, if I ask him he might just say I should sleep. So I can just do this. Once he goes to

"Are you apo... Apologizing to me?"Apollo nodded his head, brushing his fingers against hers as he let out, "I wanted to apologise to you but you didn't come to me. So I made you overwork purposefully." "It's ok. You don't have to apologise."Upon hearing her, he glared at her in astonishment. "You already forgave me?"His eyes seemed to be so filled with emotions, unlike other times when they seemed to be emotionless. He was staring at her as if he was hoping she would say yes.'I was angry at you yesterday night but I can understand why you did that. Why would I be angry at you then? And especially when you are saying sorry...'"Yes, so don't worry." She put on a happy expression.Apollo grinned and when she thought it was all over, unexpectedly he pulled her close.He embraced her in his arms, gently patting her back."Thank you." He said in a genuine voice.Without knowing the reason, she felt so happy. Avery stared at her fingers. 'Can I hug him too? Do I have the right?'Ave
