Chapter 2014


    Avery gave her bodyguard a look, signaling him to stay quiet.


    She stepped out of the canteen and answered the call.

    "Miss Tate, I told my men to send Bobby to the hospital today. I heard that he shouted at you


    yesterday, and I hope you don''t take it personally. He''s been mentally disturbed since the car crash.


    I''ve hired a psychiatrist to look at him but it''s not really working. I can only hope that you will be able


    to cure him."


    "Sure, I will go check on him at the hospitalter," she said calmly.


    "Yeah. I trust you with my son. Do let me know if you need anything else. If you can''t reach me, you


    can contact my assistant,"


    Dean offered kindly.


    "Sure. I apologize for showing up out of the blue to meet with Ms. Hills this morning."


    "Haha, Ang told me about it when I woke up this morning. She doesn''t me you for it. She


    simply resents Professor Hough," Dean said casually. "He is dead and the past is in the past. So


    long as you refrain from mentioning Professor Hough in front of her, it''s not that hard to get along


    with her."


    "Yeah. I was being rude today. I didn''t know what happened between them and I think I''ve upset Ms.


    Hills," Avery said, before changing the subject. "I went to buy a new car today and ran into your


    second eldest son."


    Avery said so because Sebastian had mentioned that Dean only had his men serve his son so that


    he could spy on him. Therefore, Dean must have already known that Sebastian had met with her.


    "What a coincidence."


    "Yeah! I had lunch with him, too." Avery wanted to talk to Dean so that she could have a better


    understanding of the man.


    "Haha, you are of the same age and were ssmates before. Most importantly, you are both single,


    right? You have my full support if you want to date Sebastian. He has high standards and wouldn''t


    settle for just any woman. He beams whenever he talks about you, though, so I think he probably


    likes you a lot."


    Avery remained silent for a moment and said, "I have to find my ex-husband first before I can start


    thinking about anything else. I think Sebastian is a nice guy, too. I had some misunderst


    "I have two children that are raised by Elliot, and unlike your case, my children like him so much that


    they can''t be separated from him..."


    "Haha, how''s that any different? I have kids that are raised by my ex-wives as well, and I give them


    allowance every month," he said. "Those two kids are not all you have, and if you want more, you


    are free to give birth to more. Why let your ex-husband get in the way of your future?" "What you


    are saying makes sense, Mr.


    Jennings, but I''ve found leads," Avery said on purpose to see how Dean would react.


    "Is that so? How impressive, Miss Tate,” he responded calmly. "So, where''s your ex-husband now?"


    "All I have are leads at the moment. I will tell you when I find him, if you are still interested in


    knowing by then, that is."


    "I see..." Dean did not say anything else and Avery felt like there was a gigantic rock resting on her


    chest.


    After the call ended, she saw a message she received from Mike, asking where she was.


    She called Mike back and informed him where she was, and he arrived shortly after.


    "Is Sebastian gone?" Mike wanted to join her for lunch but gave up when Avery told him that she


    was with Sebastian.
