Chapter 218
It was dinner time at Starry River Vi.
"Avery, Wesley came by to see you this afternoon," Laura said with bright eyes. "He told me that he
was going to settle down here in Aryadelle..."
Avery figured out what her mother was thinking from the grin on her face.
"Mom, I know you''re hoping I''ll find someone to get married to soon, but please don''t pull that face
while we are in public. Otherwise, people would think I''m desperate for marriage!" Avery pleaded. "I''m
still in my twenties. I''m still young! This is the time I should be focusing on my career. Once I''m
sessful, men will be lining up to marry me."
The smile on Laura''s face vanished.
"I''m not pestering you... I just really think that Wesley''s a great man. He took care of you the whole time
you were abroad! Don''t you see how well he treats you?"
"Am I supposed to marry anyone who''s good to me? In that case, Professor Hough was good to me,
too!"
"Fine! Keep acting blind! Wesley really is a good man. You might never find someone like him again if
you miss out now." "Can''t you have a little more faith in me? There will be
men who will be attracted to me in the future," Avery said as sheforted her mother. "Besides, did
you ask the children what they think? They don''t want a stepfather."
Avery shot a meaningful look at her children.
La cleverly expressed her opinion and said, "I don''t want a stepfather, but I''ll make myself ept
anyone Mommy likes."
It was clear that her daughter did not understand what Avery was trying to signal to her.
Avery pinned her hopes on her son. 1
"Let''s eat, Grandma," said Hayden.
"Alright, I won''t say more," Laura said. "I''m just worried that your Mommy will regret this, so I''m just
reminding her. I won''t waste my time worrying about it, since she has no such intentions."
Avery chuckled and said, "Mom, if you''re so eager to y matchmaker, then find someone for Mike.
He''s been hanging out at bars every day recently. I bet he''s dying to find a better half."
Laura was left speechless.
At Tate Industries the next day, Wesley''s visit took Avery by surprise.
"Aren''t you resting at home from the jetg?" Avery asked as she invited him to take a seat on the
couch.

"Do you have coffee here?" Wesley asked.
"I do, but you shouldn''t have coffee now. Otherwise, you won''t be able to sleep at night," Avery said,
then poured him a ss of water. "How about I take you on a tour of each departmentter?"
Wesley nodded, then said, "I''ve actuallye to talk to you about something."
He then ced a photo in front of her.
Avery picked up the photo, and her eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked, "Who''s this?"
"He''s a patient. He''s been bedridden for three years, but he is somewhat conscious. He is a little better
than someone who is in a vegetative state. His parents contacted Professor Hough half a year ago. He
took on the case but wasn''t able to put together a treatment n in time..." Wesley answered.
"I see... Since the professor gave his word, please send over his medical records for me to take a look
at," Avery said.
"Would it get in the way of your work? You just started yourpany after all," Wesley said hesitantly.
"Let''s talk about this again once things settle down here."
Avery nced at the photo, then said, "Send over his records first. It''s a waste for such a handsome
face to be lying on a hospital bed for so long!"
"I''ll send it to youter today," Wesley responded." Now, take me on a tour of your empire!"
Avery could not help butugh.
"Don''t tease me. I didn''t make fun of you like this when I was at Elizabeth Hospital."
As Avery and Wesley left the office, they engaged in cheerful talk andughter.
Very quickly, the news of Avery Tate''s new boyfriend spread through the entire Tate Industries.
