MasukThe car finally pulled into the long driveway of the estate.As soon as the vehicle stopped, the driver stepped out and opened the door for them.Evan gently helped Avery out of the car, instinctively placing a steady hand on her waist.“You know I’m capable of walking on my own,” Avery teased.Evan looked at her calmly.“Yes.”“But you won’t let me.”“No.”Avery laughed as they walked toward the mansion together.Inside, the house staff greeted them warmly before returning to their duties.Avery kicked off her shoes the moment they stepped into their room, letting out a small sigh of relief.“Finally,” she murmured.Evan loosened his tie, watching her carefully.“Long day?”“A little,” she admitted as she sat on the edge of the bed.He walked over to her, crouching slightly so he was at eye level.“Are you tired?”“Not really.”Evan studied her for another moment before nodding. “Good.”“Why?”“Because we have packing to do.”Avery’s eyes widened slightly.“Oh right! The Italy trip!
The moment the Rolls-Royce disappeared down the road, the quiet outside the school gate exploded into chaos.Students immediately surrounded Lacy and Maddie.“Wait, wait, wait!”“Since when is Avery married?!”“Is that really Evan Benson?”“Did she actually say she’s pregnant?!”Questions came from every direction, overlapping until neither of the girls could even hear themselves think.Lacy raised both hands in surrender.“Okay! One at a time!” she said, trying to calm the crowd.But that only made the curiosity worse.“Is she really his wife?”“Is that baby his?”“How long has this been going on?”Maddie exchanged a quick glance with Lacy before sighing.“Well… yes,” Maddie finally admitted.The reaction was instant.“What?!”“You’re serious?!”Lacy crossed her arms.“She’s happy, okay?” she said firmly. “And that’s all that matters.”“But she’s still in high school!” one girl argued.“And?” Lacy shot back. “She’s finishing school, taking her exams like the rest of us. What’s the pr
The last day of school before the break arrived sooner than Avery expected.The campus was buzzing with excitement. Students filled the hallways, some celebrating the upcoming holidays while others anxiously discussed the final exams waiting for them after the break.For many of them, it also meant something even bigger.University.Applications had already been sent out to prestigious schools across the country, and everyone was waiting for acceptance letters that could determine the next chapter of their lives.Avery leaned against her locker, her hand resting unconsciously on her stomach as she listened to Lacy chatter beside her.“I swear if we both get accepted, we’re totally sharing an apartment,” Lacy said excitedly. “Can you imagine? No parents, no curfew, just freedom!”Avery laughed softly.“I don’t think Evan would agree with the ‘no curfew’ part,” she teased.Lacy rolled her eyes dramatically.“Well, you’re technically married now, Mrs. Benson. Your life is already ten ste
The crowd gasped as whispers spread through the hall. Avery looked around at the people surrounding her, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. Evan still had his hand stretched out toward her, a charming smile on his face.Taking a deep breath, Avery placed her hand in his. Evan gently pulled her up onto the stage, his arm wrapping securely around her waist.Avery had no idea Evan had planned to reveal their marriage at Vanessa’s engagement party.Her eyes welled up with tears as she felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. She felt blessed to be loved so deeply by him. She wasn’t sure if it was the pregnancy hormones acting up, but she suddenly had the urge to cry like a baby.Fighting the feeling, Avery cleared her throat and took the microphone from Evan. Looking around the hall, she smiled.“Wow, I had no idea about this,” she said teasingly. “And I definitely wasn’t trying to steal the soon-to-be bride’s spotlight.”Her words brought soft laughter from the audience, easing the
Avery was all ready for school about to come down for breakfast when she stopped in front of the full length mirror taking a look at her little bump. She couldn’t believe a life was growing inside of her, not just any live but the one she was about to bring with her beloved. She gently rubbed her tummy a smile playing on her lips when suddenly Evan appeared behind her. Evan placed a kiss on her neck as he hugged her from behind with so much longing, he had his eyes closed as he took a sniff of her shower gel that always brought him calm and relief. These past few days Evan was beginning to get terrified at how much he was getting addicted to Avery. He couldn’t imagine a day of his life without her by his side. “Mr. Benson, I’m getting late” Avery reminded softly, fearing that he might get caught up in the moment, forgetting they all had activities to carry on with. At that moment Evan was suddenly looking forward to their trip to Italy where he would spend his entire day with her
On their way home, Avery observed that Evan was oddly quiet, causing her to break the silence. “Is there something wrong?” she asked, concerned.“What were you and Ezra discussing?” Evan demanded as he took a quick glance at her before focusing his gaze back on the road.“So this is what all this is about?” Avery scoffed loudly.Evan looked confused. “What?”“Mr. Benson, you’re jealous just because you saw me and Ezra talking on the balcony earlier,” Avery said with a chuckle.This time, Evan didn’t deny it and remained silent, allowing Avery to have her moment. “He was just curious to know my relationship with Venessa, that’s all,” she added, taking his free hand.“I trust you, wifey. Until Venessa gets married, can you do me a favor and stay away from him?” Evan asked. Avery nodded vigorously, even though she didn’t quite understand the reason behind it.Suddenly, Evan’s car came to a halt, leaving Avery puzzled. He turned to face her, smiling. He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss
