Chapter 1783
"I remember that you didn''t seem to tell me the follow-up to this matter. I thought I had remembered
wrongly!" Mike gradually lowered his voice.
Avery went to Ylore to find Ivy, and she would not stop until she found the child''s whereabouts.
It was not that big of a deal if there was concrete news on the child''s death. After all, a short and
swift pain was much less agonizing than a prolonged period of suffering! Mike''s greatest concern
was theck of news and information on Ivy’s whereabouts because that would only lead Avery on
a wild goose chase.
At Ylore, Avery took a taxi to Nick’s house after having some rest the previous night. She did not
bother calling him because she was staying in a hotel not far from his house.
As soon as she arrived, she went to the door of Nick''s detached vi and rang the doorbell.
The servant in the vi stuck her head out and walked to the courtyard gate when she saw Avery.
"And you are?" The servant looked at Avery''s face and did not immediately recognize her.
"I''m Avery Tate. I came here three years ago," Avery began. "I didn''t call Nick because it''s a little
early. I wonder if he''s at home?"
The servant immediately opened the courtyard door and let her in. "You came here at just the right
time. He just came
back yesterday from a business trip. He hasn''t got up yet, so please do wait in the living room!"
"Sure, thanks."
The servant looked at her and asked, "Why did youe alone?"
Avery felt embarrassed. "Elliot and I got a divorce."
"I''m aware of that! I''m asking why you didn''t bring a bodyguard with you." The servant brought her
into the living room and poured her a ss of water. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I''ve eaten. You can get back to your duties. I''ll just wait here."
Nick finally came downstairs when the time was past ten.
When he saw Avery sitting on the sofa in
the living room, his eyes widened and he thought that he was still dreaming.
"Nick," Avery got up from the sofa and walked toward the stairs. "I''m sorry to drop by unannounced,
but I have some questions to ask you."
Nick looked at her in surprise. "Don''t you think you''re asking the wrong person? You; c%;QLX: Elliot
never got along with each other, right? Elliot and I are still good friends, you know!"
Avery held Nick''s arm and whispered," Let''s talk in your study!"
"But I haven''t eaten yet, and I''m starving!" Nick removed her hand. "Just go ahead and ask what
you want to ask! I trust the employees in my house, and I promise not to let anyone know about our
chat," Nick said as he walked to the dining room.
Avery followed him in.
"I came here to ask you about what happened to the Goulds'' three years ago."
The two went to the dining room and had a seat, whereupon the servants immediately brought
some food to the table before excusing themselves.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
"It''s been three years since that happened. Why do you care all of a sudden?" Nick looked at her in
confusion. "You divorced Elliot three years ago because of this, didn''t you? It stands to reason that
there''s no incentive for you to bring it up now."
"I just want to know what happened to her," Avery exined the purpose of her visit." I''ve been
having nightmares recently and I dreamt that Ivy begged me to save her. I feel like I need toe
here and address that or else it''ll be a pain to have nightmares all the time." "How strange." Nick
lost his appetite immediately. "Ivy never entered your dreams three years ago, so why now? Maybe
she died recently."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that Ivy was never found?"
"That''s right. Ivy was taken away by the Goulds’ driver and he managed to escape. But he was a
gambler, so he sold Ivy after rescuing her..." Nick told her what Ivy went through. "Elliot still couldn''t
locate her even after getting those clues and destroying the criminal gang."
Avery’s body ran cold and her hand was trembling uncontrobly as she held the cutlery.
