"Mom, today is a happy day. Don't let others who aren't related to you feel awful. I'll accompany you for a few rounds."
Tammy instructed the maids at home to set up the table, and she sit by the table with her mother in her arms. She was the eldest daughter, the one who had always been the best at coaxing Eva Anderson.Eva, Tammy, Susana, Jace, and her wife just happened to be sitting together at the table. Angie was placed elegantly at the side, gracefully sitting on the leather sofa in the living room."Avery, when do you and Blake plan to have children?" Eva touched her badge and said without any warning."Huh?" Avery’s thoughts could not keep up with the rhythm of the scenario."You’ve been married for three years, yet there's no progress. Isn't she working in the hospital? Since she's free, she's going to check if there's anything wrong with her body.""Oh,” Avery replied perfunctorily, she touched his card and without looking at it, she threw it out."Yes, Thirteen. Kill them all." Tammy laughed as she pushed the cards in front of her away.Eva looked at Avery, "You really know how to play cards.”Avery lowered her head, the light in her eyes lowered, and her small white face turned pale.On the side, Tammy did not know how to deal with this situation."Mom, we're still young, so there's no rush with children." Blake timely walked over and intimately wrapped his arms around his mother's neck.Eva showed a rare smile on her face, and patted his arm, "Are you still young despite running for three years? When your dad was your age, Tammy was in primary school. Blake, stop being so sloppy. If you don't get us a grandchild next year, don't blame me for giving you two some punishment.""Got it, Mom,” Blake casually replied.After accompanying her mother-in-law through eight rounds, Eva felt that it was even more tiring than doing surgery for an entire day.In front of the bathroom's makeup mirror, Avery was leaning on the sink with both hands. Her face was haggard, and the corners of her mouth had a fake smile that she didn't manage to hide in time. Walking into Andersons' main hall, she wore this mask.Just then, the door was pushed open. Angie walked in with her high heels and opened up her makeup bag by her side.Her lips curled up in an arrogant smile as she turned to look at Avery, extending her beautiful long hands, "You must be Avery. I have heard Blake mention you often, so I want to get to know you formally. I am Angie Lopez.""Hello." Avery nodded calmly, turned, and left. She really didn't want to be in the same space as this woman.She pushed open the door and left, and Angie followed her out quickly, "Avery, I want to talk to you."Avery subconsciously stopped and turned her head, "Miss Lopez, we don't seem to be familiar with each other. I don't think we have anything in common. "Angie smiled charmingly, and walked in front of her step by step, "Let’s talk about Blake, how about it?"Avery slightly raised her chin, and a trace of ridicule could be seen on her lips, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to talking about my husband with strangers. If only …""Blake!" Without waiting for Avery to finish speaking, Angie suddenly raised her voice, her bright eyes suddenly looking behind her, at the same time looking past her towards the man behind her.“Blake, we were talking about you just now." Angie held Blake’s arm intimately and naturally."And?” he replied indifferently, his deep gaze landing on Avery’s body, with a few traces of probing.Avery lowered her head slightly and coldly stared at their folded arms. Her heart felt a slight stabbing pain.Without leaving a trace, he pulled Angie’s hand and looked at her, "Let’s get back to the living room ."It was obvious that he wanted to push her away.Avery’s gaze shifted upwards and tightly stared into his eyes. However, she could never understand the profoundness of his eyes, and the warmth in his eyes had never been displayed for her sake.She felt that she was very useless because she had run away. She did not want to see them showing off their love in front of her ever again. How laughable that she even wanted to deceive herself to maintain this marriage.The instant she brushed past his shoulders, Blake seemed to see the tears in her eyes. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground became faster and faster, and she disappeared around the corner of the stairs as if she was escaping."Blake." Angie smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.Blake’s eyes turned slightly cold, and pushed her away without leaving a trace, "What are you doing here?""What is it? Are you afraid that your wife will be misunderstood? " Angie laughed playfully, taking the opportunity to lean on his chest, "Who asked you to not pick up the phone, so here I am. I come to find you."Blake frowned, and gently pushed her away, lowering his head to look at her eyes, "Angie, this is not a place to cause trouble, I have already called Aunt Audrey, the car is waiting outside, you can go back first."Angie pouted, and unwillingly nodded her head, "Alright, I will go, I won't make things difficult for you, but, you have to give me a reward okay?" The moment she finished speaking, she quickly tiptoed and kissed Blake on the lips, then ran away with a smile.Blake wiped the corner of his lips with his fingertips helplessly.She had not changed, and when she made a fuss she was like a child. In a trance, the scene before his eyes overlapped with his memories. Once upon a time, she just loved to jump into his arms and give him a helpless kiss like this.Angie Lopez was his first love and the school's beauty. More than half the boys in the school had fallen in love with her. At that time, he chased after her crazily. He even carried his guitar and sang all-night-long love songs under her dormitory building.After four years of university, their love was so passionate. He had never thought that she would one day separate from her. However, on the eve of graduation, she resolutely proposed to break up and travel overseas with another man.It was a dark and gloomy day. At that time, he was waiting outside Angie’s house day and night, but there was no news of her. Then, after many years, on the day of his marriage with Avery, she returned with a body riddled with scars.Eva sat on the sofa with a cold expression. Tammy pulled the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened to you two? Avery drove away. ""Which way did she go? I'll go find her. " Blake frowned, he picked up the car keys and ran out, completely ignoring his mother's complaints.The sky gradually darkened as neon lights flashed on both sides of the road. Blake’s car drove very fast, and finally found Avery’s little beetle at the end of the road. The car crashed into a tree branch, and the window of the car shattered. His heart was thumping hard, he stepped on the throttle and parked the car, then got off the car in a hurry to check.The door to the car was opened, but there was no one inside, while Avery was curled up, sitting un
"Avery?" At this moment, the man also saw her. The astonishment on his handsome face turned to sadness. He didn't expect that in order to avoid her, he would even switch to a different hospital.Three years, exactly three years. This was the first time Avery had appeared in front of him. Three years ago, she threw him a slap in the face and left. When they met again three years later, it was like this."Avery, you, are you alright?" Alex’s hoarse voice had a hint of a sob.Avery was silent, in the shadows, her lips curled up into a self-deprecating smile. Memories poured out of her mind like a tide, pressing down on her so hard she could barely breathe.That year, her dependent grandmother suddenly died. Then she overheard her mother and father talking, and her mother firmly opposed taking her home to raise her. She wanted her to perish on her own. This succession of attacks was undoubtedly fatal for a 17-year-old girl. Then, Avery carried her grandmother's burn and somehow stood on t
"It's too late. If we don't start the operation soon, she will die.""I don't agree,” Alex said firmly. He would rather become a murderer than let Avery get hurt again."If you don't sign the agreement, I will have the operation done. I will be responsible for any consequences." Avery passed him and entered the operating room."Avery!" Alex chased after her but was stopped by the nurse.“I’m sorry, sir. The patient's family members are not allowed inside. "Alex squatted on the ground in defeat, picked up the surgical confirmation letter, and signed his name without hesitation. He put his head in his hands, and the pain on his face intensified. This was the Avery Foster that he knew, so kind that it made others feel helpless.Avery spent the whole night in the office, looking exhausted. Dina pushed the door and walked in, bringing a cup of warm coffee in front of her, "Isn't the operation over? Why aren't you going home? ""Willa’s condition is still unstable, I can't leave." Avery ra
Avery’s eyes were filled with tears as her cold little hands were wrapped around his warm palm. She allowed him to lead her out of the room, but at this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.Avery’s father was originally observing from outside and knew that something had happened to Willa."Avery, what's going on?" Jake Foster asked."Dad …" Seeing her father, the grievances in Avery’s heart gushed out. She choked with sobs, unable to say a single word."Dad!" Willa suddenly threw herself into Jake’s embrace and cried miserably. She trembled as she pointed her finger at Avery, staring at him fiercely as if she was the sinner who committed heinous crimes. “Dad, Avery was just jealous. She was jealous that I was pregnant with Alex’s child, so she took the opportunity to take away my child and even cut off my womb. Dad, I can't be a mother anymore. ""Dad, it's not like that …" Avery helplessly shook her head, her voice trembling as though she wanted to explain, but her voic
He deeply kissed her, her tenderness turning into ferocity. Her lips and tongue were entangled, and Avery felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe. His hand gently caressed her face, but the warmth from his palm was still extremely hot.Blake was startled, and hurriedly let go of her."You’re having a fever.""Hmm, it might be because of the rain, but I'll be fine after a bit of sleep." She move his hand from her forehead but held it tight.Blake carried her into his bedroom and fed her the medicine while rummaging through the drawers. Lying on the soft bed, Avery quickly fell asleep. She kept holding onto his hand, probably because of a fever. Her little face was red, and her brow was slightly furrowed. She looked like a helpless little girl who had lost her sense of security.Blake sat by her bedside, staring at her with a smile on his face. His hand gently caressed her cheeks, "Don't be afraid.”The sleeping Avery turned her body over and over, as she moaned in a low t
Blake nodded politely, turned, and left. The door made a slight opening and closing sound.The moment he left, Angie, who was on top of the sickbed, opened her eyes. A hint of a ridiculing smile could be seen in her eyes."Mom, why is it that when a relationship is over, a man can turn around without any delay while a woman can't? Did he love me? Why am I the only one who was lonely right now?""Silly girl, don't think too much. If he doesn't love you, then he wouldn't have come to your side regardless of everything that happens to you.""Mom, no matter what the price is, I have to go back to Blake. I have to go back to him."When Blake drove the car back to the villa, the huge villa sunk into a deathly silence. He searched through the dozen or so rooms upstairs and downstairs but didn't find anyone at all. He immediately panicked.When he found Avery on the roof, she was sitting on the fence with her feet in the air. The morning sun dyed her lonely back red, but it could not warm tha
The elevator stopped at the twelfth-floor maternity ward. Avery changed into a white coat and started to inspect the ward. When she passed by the door of Willa’s ward, a loud noise came from inside."When will I be able to leave the hospital? How long do you want me to stay in this damned place?""Miss Foster, you have to observe for a few more days before you can leave the hospital." The head nurse explained patiently."How much longer do I have to stay? Can you return my child? Or can it make my womb grow back?” Willa’s howls were also accompanied by the sound of porcelain shattering.Hearing that, Avery sighed helplessly, and then pushed open the door to the ward and walked in. "Sis, I hope that you can face reality. Although the child is gone, you still have one side of the fallopian tube and part of the womb for you to take care of. As a test tube baby, you still have hope of being a mother.""It's all bullshit, I don't want to hear it! You shameless devil, scram; I don't want to
Avery dragged her twisted leg and limped over, then opened the door in the direction of the passenger seat. Without waiting for her to sit still, Blake stepped on the throttle, and the car shot out like an arrow.The car remained silent. She could clearly feel ice-cold anger coming from the side, she didn't know what Blake was angry about. Besides, the one who should be angry should be her.The car drove into the manor and stopped in front of the villa. The two of them sat in their seats, neither of them moving. The long silence made the atmosphere inside the car extremely depressing, making it hard to breathe.In the end, Avery was not as calm as Blake, she felt the stifling sensation in the car was unbearable, and subconsciously reached out to push the door, but Blake’s movements were even faster. He neatly locked the door, then grabbed her wrist and roughly pulled her into her chest."What are you crazy about …" Avery only had time to utter half a sentence before Blake’s lips press
