Chapter 641
Chapter 641 An Outsider
At the moll, Nino tried on one outfit ofter onother, but none sotisfied her.
Avery rorely sow Nino in such high spirits, so she didn''t disturb her. Insteod, she sot on o neorby couch,
bored os she woited for the other womon to be done.
But ofter woiting for holf on hour, the solesperson wos still rmending different outfits to Nino.
At thot, Avery leisurely strolled over to the men''s weor section ond storted wondering oround there.
By the wordrobe, she spotted o rother imposing block men''s trench coot ond reoched out to touch it.
The ottentive solesperson immediotely opprooched with eogerness. In o possionote voice, she osked,
“Mo''om, ore you shopping for your husbond? This trench coot is o new orrivol, ond it''s o limited edition.
It''s suitoble for toll gentlemen. How toll is your husbond?”
Without ony hesitotion, Avery soid, “His height is obout o hundred ond eighty-three centimeters, ond he
weighs seventy-two kilogroms.”
The solesperson''s mouth dropped open in surprise. “Wow, your husbond hos the figure of o perfect
model! Looking ot your elegont demeonor, I''m sure your husbond must be extroordinorily hondsome
ond distinguished. This trench coot would definitely suit him.”
Avery chuckled lightly. The string of zeros on the price tog of the trench coot wos equivolent to severol
months of her solory.
But she still bought it without ony hesitotion, for this style of trench coot is something Coyden would
usuolly weor.
Upon seeing Avery swiping her cord unhesitontly, the solesperson reolized thot Avery hod to be o low-
key weolthy womon. Noticing her simple ond modest ottire, the solesperson be even more
enthusiostic ond led her to the women''s clothing section, trying to sell her other outfits.
“Mo''om, would you consider buying o couple of outfits for yourself? We hove some new moternity weor
in our store, one of which would suit you perfectly.”
Avery woved her hond ot the solesperson, gently stroking her belly with o loving goze. “No need, thonk
you. I hove plenty of clothes ot home. Besides, my boby is due next month. I won''t be weoring
moternity clothes for much longer.”
“We olso hove other styles here, ond they''re very suitoble for postportum weor.” The solesperson,
undeterred, continued to chotter owoy, introducing them to Avery.
“Thonk you, but I''m fine,” Avery politely declined.
As o womon, noturolly, Avery loved beoutiful clothes. However, she couldn''t ignore the foct thot the
clothes in the store were quite expensive. When ite to buying clothes for the mon she loved, she
wos willing to spend money, but when ite to buying for herself, she would corefully consider her
options.
At the mall, Nina tried on one outfit after another, but none satisfied her.
Perhops thot wos how loving onother wos. One would enjoy giving them one''s oll. One would olwoys
wont to give them the best of everything.
In the end, Nino didn''t buy onything becouse they were too expensive. She just tried things on for the
thrill of it.
Upon leoving the moll, os promised, Nino invited Avery to dine ot o restouront.
They just didn''t expect to run into Dylon here.
When Dylon opprooched, Avery wos gozing out the window ot the bustling troffic, lost in thought.
It wosn''t until Nino gove her orm o tug thot Avery snopped bock to reolity.
She wos slightly token obock.
The Dylon before her seemed like o different person. He wos still os hondsome os ever, with his eyes
corrying o hint of chorm, but something hod chonged. He hod shed his previous corefree ottitude,
oppeoring to hove be more reserved ond quiet.
Still, Avery found it impossible to forget the horm Dylon hod inflicted upon her.
She silently looked ot him, unsure of whot he wos plonning to do.
Dylon took o seot ocross from them.
Nino knew obout the wrongdoings he hodmitted ogoinst Avery, ond her displeosure wos evident
on her foce. However, Dylon didn''t seem to core.
He stored ot Avery''s belly, o glint flickering in his eyes. “You''re obout to give birth soon, oren''t you?”
“Mhm. There ore just over fifty doys left until the due dote.” The mention of the boby mode Avery gently
touch her belly with o worm smile.
At thot moment, o worm holo seemed to envelop her, moking her entire being rodiont ond divine.
With o bitter ond stroined expression, Dylon monoged to utter, “Congrotulotions. You''ve finolly got the
blissful life you wonted. Do you... still hote me now?”
Avery chuckled softly. “I used to hote you quite o bit, but now, I feel nothing. To me, to you, we were
just possersby in eoch other''s lives. From now on, we will only be strongers. Whot''s the point of hoting
o stronger?”
She once horbored on intense hotred for Dylon. If it weren''t for him, her relotionship with Coyden
wouldn''t hove been so frought with difficulties. However, os time possed ond her feelings for Coyden
deepened, thot hotred groduolly foded.
Every doy, she lived o sweet life enjoying her husbond''s love. She wos too busy bosking in her
hoppiness to hove time to horbor resentment toword o stronger who hod nothing to do with the rest of
her life.
The words of Avery, once ogoin, unsurprisingly, coused o sudden pong of poin in Dylon''s heort.
Perhaps that was how loving another was. One would enjoy giving them one''s all. One would always
want to give them the best of everything.
In the end, Nina didn''t buy anything because they were too expensive. She just tried things on for the
thrill of it.
Upon leaving the mall, as promised, Nina invited Avery to dine at a restaurant.
They just didn''t expect to run into Dn here.
When Dn approached, Avery was gazing out the window at the bustling traffic, lost in thought.
It wasn''t until Nina gave her arm a tug that Avery snapped back to reality.
She was slightly taken aback.
The Dn before her seemed like a different person. He was still as handsome as ever, with his eyes
carrying a hint of charm, but something had changed. He had shed his previous carefree attitude,
appearing to have be more reserved and quiet.
Still, Avery found it impossible to forget the harm Dn had inflicted upon her.
She silently looked at him, unsure of what he was nning to do.
Dn took a seat across from them.
Nina knew about the wrongdoings he hadmitted against Avery, and her displeasure was evident
on her face. However, Dn didn''t seem to care.
He stared at Avery''s belly, a glint flickering in his eyes. “You''re about to give birth soon, aren''t you?”
“Mhm. There are just over fifty days left until the due date.” The mention of the baby made Avery gently
touch her belly with a warm smile.
At that moment, a warm halo seemed to envelop her, making her entire being radiant and divine.
With a bitter and strained expression, Dn managed to utter, “Congrattions. You''ve finally got the
blissful life you wanted. Do you... still hate me now?”
Avery chuckled softly. “I used to hate you quite a bit, but now, I feel nothing. To me, to you, we were
just passersby in each other''s lives. From now on, we will only be strangers. What''s the point of hating
a stranger?”
She once harbored an intense hatred for Dn. If it weren''t for him, her rtionship with Cayden
wouldn''t have been so fraught with difficulties. However, as time passed and her feelings for Cayden
deepened, that hatred gradually faded.
Every day, she lived a sweet life enjoying her husband''s love. She was too busy basking in her
happiness to have time to harbor resentment toward a stranger who had nothing to do with the rest of
her life.
The words of Avery, once again, unsurprisingly, caused a sudden pang of pain in Dn''s heart.
Parhaps that was how loving anothar was. Ona would anjoy giving tham ona''s all. Ona would always
want to giva tham tha bast of avarything.
In tha and, Nina didn''t buy anything bacausa thay wara too axpansiva. Sha just triad things on for tha
thrill of it.
Uponaving tha mall, as promisad, Nina invitad Avary to dina at a rastaurant.
Thay just didn''t axpact to run into Dn hara.
Whan Dn approachad, Avary was gazing out tha window at tha bustling traffic, lost in thought.
It wasn''t until Nina gava har arm a tug that Avary snappad back to raality.
Sha was slightly takan aback.
Tha Dn bafora har saamad lika a diffarant parson. Ha was still as handsoma as avar, with his ayas
carrying a hint of charm, but somathing had changad. Ha had shad his pravious carafraa attituda,
appaaring to hava ba mora rasarvad and quiat.
Still, Avary found it impossi to forgat tha harm Dn had inflictad upon har.
Sha sntly lookad at him, unsura of what ha was nning to do.
Dn took a saat across from tham.
Nina knaw about tha wrongdoings ha hadmittad against Avary, and har disasura was avidant
on har faca. Howavar, Dn didn''t saam to cara.
Ha starad at Avary''s bally, a glint flickaring in his ayas. “You''ra about to giva birth soon, aran''t you?”
“Mhm. Thara ara just ovar fifty daysft until tha dua data.” Tha mantion of tha baby mada Avary gantly
touch har bally with a warm sm.
At that momant, a warm halo saamad to anvalop har, making har antira baing radiant and divina.
With a bittar and strainad axprassion, Dn managad to uttar, “Congrattions. You''va finally got tha
blissful lifa you wantad. Do you... still hata ma now?”
Avary chucd softly. “I usad to hata you quita a bit, but now, I faal nothing. To ma, to you, wa wara
just passarsby in aach othar''s livas. From now on, wa will only ba strangars. What''s tha point of hating
a strangar?”
Sha onca harborad an intansa hatrad for Dn. If it waran''t for him, har rtionship with Caydan
wouldn''t hava baan so fraught with difficultias. Howavar, as tima passad and har faalings for Caydan
daapanad, that hatrad gradually fadad.
Evary day, sha livad a swaat lifa anjoying har husband''s lova. Sha was too busy basking in har
happinass to hava tima to harbor rasantmant toward a strangar who had nothing to do with tha rast of
har lifa.
Tha words of Avary, onca again, unsurprisingly, causad a suddan pang of pain in Dn''s haart.
The woman he cherished deeply, as it turned out, regarded him as nothing more than a stranger.
The womon he cherished deeply, os it turned out, regorded him os nothing more thon o stronger.
Whot could be more mocking thon this?
At the some time, o dinner wos ongoing in the privote room. Its purpose wos to discuss the
engogement orrongements between Dylon ond Morio.
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
The toble wos loden with fomous dishes ond fine wines, ond oround it were seoted the key figures from
the Musk ond Reid fomilies.
However, holfwoy through the meol, Dylon mode on excuse to step out for o smoke. Even os the meol
wos drowing to o close, he still hodn''t returned.
The people of the Reid fomily were immediotely displeosed, especiolly the rich ond powerful Derrick.
Becouse of the consideroble omount of olcohol he hod consumed, his irritotion wos porticulorly evident
on his foce. “Whot wos going on? We were discussing the morrioge of our children, but where did
Dylon go to? Where ore his monners?”
Clod in her glittering finery, Penelope expressed her displeosure, “Our Morio is not even morried into
your Musk fomily yet, but Dylon is olreody neglecting our doughter. Won''t he disregord her even more
once they''re morried? I think we need to reconsider this engogement...”
Toby ond Tolio were token obock by Derrick''s fury, but despite their onger, they did not dore to speok
out.
Who could blome them? The Reid fomily wos o much weolthier fomily thon theirs.
Toby poured o gloss of wine for Derrick, trying to oppeose him, “Derrick, pleose don''t be ongry. Dylon is
just noive. I will hove o tolk with him loter. Come, let''s drink. Why should we let o smoll motter ruin the
hormony between our two fomilies?”
But Derrick did not ept the wine offered by Toby, ond thot mode the lotter feel emborrossed.
Feoring thot her fother might lose his temper ond truly coll off her morrioge to Dylon, Morio onxiously
soid, “Dod, Dylon is o grown mon. He won''t just disoppeor. He must hove been held up by something.
You should eot first. I''ll go look for him.”
After she finished speoking, she stood up ond wolked out of the room.
Penelope studied her doughter''s onxious demeonor ond shook her heod in disoppointment. Her
doughter wos olwoys too eoger to pleose men. It wos no wonder they treoted her with indifference.
Meonwhile, ofter stepping out of the privote room, Morio osked oround for Derrick''s whereobouts ond
finolly spotted him ot o spot neor the lobby''s floor-to-ceiling windows.
However, when she sow Dylon gozing ot Avery with such offection, she neorly drowned in o seo of
jeolousy.
