Chapter 1895


    "I don''t care about what kind of man Avery dates, but I''m worried about you," Natalie said. "Since I


    mentioned Billy to you before, I worried that this might make you feel miserable. If I had not said


    anything, I wouldn''t have to worry."


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "You only mentioned that he was horrendous-looking and short, right?" Elliot said casually. "I


    wouldn''t be in misery over something like that."


    "That''s not the worst part. Billy is a psychopath." Natalie''s features twisted in pain. "People who are


    talented but disabled like him tend to be sick in the mind. He has all these horrible pets like snakes,


    lizards, mice, and spiders... Just thinking back to it gives me chills... He told me that if I want to be


    with him, I will need to ept his pets."


    Elliot fell dead silent when he heard that.


    "Maybe it''s because Avery is a doctor, so she probably won''t be scared of those animals... But I


    don’t think that''s the end of his insanity," Natalie continued, "I don’t understand Avery''s tastes. Why


    would she date such a man?"


    Unable to stand another word, Elliot clenched his fists and stood up abruptly. " Avery might not be


    aware of his perverted ways! You don''t have to speak as though they belong together! Avery is not


    married to him yet!" he said, before storming out of the cafe.


    In Starry River Vi, Avery''s brow kept twitching after messaging Lilith, almost like a sign that


    something terrible was about to happen.


    Shey awake on her bed. Unable to fall asleep, she got up and walked toward the window to open


    the curtains.


    The sky had somehow changed into a different shade without her knowing. It had been sunny at


    noon, but rain clouds had gathered swiftly after that.


    La called her the night before saying that she would only need another day toplete her


    assignments. La had decided to take Robert with her to Bridgedale to meet with Hayden.


    La had not mentioned her n to Elliot, and she had only nned to tell him of her ns once


    she was in Bridgedale.


    Therefore, she had asked that Avery keep it a secret as well.


    Avery knew that Elliot would me her for taking the children to Bridgedale in secret, so she was at


    a crossroads with whether she should talk to Elliot about it.


    As it started raining, a ck Rolls-Roice appeared outside her door.


    She immediately ran downstairs, >c&


    Avery ignored it and headed to the porch to grab an umbre before stepping into the rain.


    "If he is here now," she thought, "maybe it''s God''s will that I tell him."


    She hurried to the yard and opened the gate, holding the umbre as high as possible in an attempt


    to shield him from the rain.


    He studied her awkward gesture for a moment, before grabbing the umbre without hesitation.


    "There''s something I need to talk to you about," she said. She walked beside him as rain pelted the


    umbre.


    "Same." He slowed down so she would not have to struggle to catch up.


    "Oh... Let me go first!" Avery was concerned that they would argue if he went first. Once they


    started arguing, she might forget what she wanted to say in the first ce.


    "Let''s go inside first."


    The rain grew heavier and by the time they got into the house, their shoes were soaking wet.


    She went ahead and changed into slippers.


    "I n on taking La and Robert to Bridgedale in a few days’ time," she said while staring at the


    back of his head.


    He changed into slippers as well and turned around, before responding with an emotionless voice,


    "No."
