Chapter 2013


    "I don''t understand... If what you said is true, why did your father ask me to treat your brother?" she


    mumbled. "Has hee to regret his action?"


    "As if. The word ''regret'' does not exist in my father''s vocabry. I don’t know why he''s asked you to


    treat Bobby, but it''s definitely not for the reason you think it is, " he said with confidence.


    Avery stared at Sebastian''s face dazedly.

    "My bodyguards will start to suspect that something is wrong if you keep staring at me instead of


    eating," he lowered his voice and reminded her. "If you want to keep looking into this, it’s best that


    you learn to not show any emotions on your face."


    She snapped out of it right away and smiled at him, before grabbing her spoon to start eating.


    "After hearing what you have to say, I realize you don''t have it easy either! If you make a mistake,


    will your father treat you the way he treated your brother?"


    "He will."


    "Wouldn''t he be more cautious? You are hisst capable son, and if he destroys you, too, who''s


    going to inherit his assets? I thought you mentioned that he values sons over daughters?"


    "He isn''t the type of person who would worry about what happens after his death. He might very


    well spend all his money before dying." Sebastian shrugged. "He will leave me alone as long as I


    stay clear of trouble. He''s done so since I was introduced to the Jennings family, so he''s not bad of


    a father to me, at the very least." "That’s good. When you get a girlfriend, remember to check if she


    had been involved with your father," Avery reminded him.


    "Hahaha... I''m not interested in women."


    Avery froze. "Y- You are interested in men?"


    "You are overthinking it. I don’t like women or men. It''s already lucky that I''m not more cynical to be


    born into this family. I would have gone crazy if I didn’t have a strong mentality," he said while


    finishing the food on his te.


    Feeling slightly awkward at the topic they were discussing, she changed the subject." You sure


    have a great appetite."


    "The food here isn''t bad, or maybe I''m just very hungry. Next time you need help, give me a heads


    up okay?" he said


    Avery found herself enjoying hispany more and more as time went by. It could be that she felt


    sorry for him the more she found out about his family or perhaps she had let her guard down simply


    because he imed that he was not interested in women.


    "Avery, I might not be interested in women, but my mom has been trying to make me marry


    someone, so eventually I will have toply. I think you are not too bad... You are not involved with


    my father for sure, so that saves me from a lot of trouble..."


    "Zip it!" Avery immediately lost her patience with him.


    "Hahaha! I''ll be going now!" He turned and left, his bodyguards following closely behind.


    She watched as they disappeared into the distance. An unsettling feeling filled her heart.


    "Miss. Tate, what were you talking about? I saw you smiling and frowning from time to time..."


    Avery''s bodyguard sat down on Sebastian''s seat.


    "Nothing much." Avery poked at her food with the fork subconsciously, wondering why Dean had


    asked for her help to treat Bobby and what he was nning.


    Shortly after that, her phone rang. It was a call from Dean.
