Chapter 2163


    Hanging up on Sebastian, Avery picked up Eric’s call.


    "Avery, you''re in Bridgedale now, right? Have you eaten? I''ll buy you a meal." Eric was currently


    standing barefoot on a soft wool rug by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to her.


    He had reached Bridgedale a short while ago. The moment he had free time, he thought of asking


    her out.


    "I''ve already eaten. Are you here for work or on a holiday?" Avery asked.


    "Holiday. I could use up to two years'' worth of holidays. I could have at least two months off." Eric


    chuckled happily. "I initially did not want toe over, but, since you''re here, I did."


    "But I''m busy," Avery said truthfully. "I''m sure you’ve heard about Elliot’s incident?"


    "Hmm... I''ve heard about it. I even asked doctors that I''m close to about it. They told me that Elliot''s


    incident is absurd. It''s so absurd, they could hire ywrights to write it into a film."

    Avery could not help but smile. "It is indeed quite absurd, but that special device is indeed in Elliot’s


    head. It could cause him unbearable pain."


    "Can’t you take it out?" Eric asked suspiciously. "If it was me, I would surely not ept being


    controlled by others like that."


    "Eric, don''t say this in front of Elliot. His thoughts are the same as yours. I was the one who begged


    him to hold on."


    I won''t say this in front of him. I wouldn''t dare lose my temper at him in the future. What if something


    were to happen if he got angry at me? You would surely not forgive me."


    "Not only would I not forgive you, but La wouldn''t either. But you and Elliot don''t have much


    chance of meeting each other. He is back in Aryadelle." Avery looked at the bright sun outside.


    However, thinking of what Sebastian had said, her brows subconsciously furrowed tightly.


    "He will still return to Bridgedale, right? You would surely be worried if you two are apart for too


    long." Eric understood the rtionship between Avery and Elliot all too well. "Actually, I''m here in


    Bridgedale this time because I''m being forced to get married."


    "What? By your parents?" "They have introduced a girl to me. This incident is as absurd as the


    device in Elliot''s head. They got to know this girl from some new friend that they’ve barely known for


    a month. Their friend said that he had a rtive who was extremely obedient and great. He even


    showed my parents her photo. My parents saw the photo and they felt that she fits their illusion of a


    great daughter-inw, so they''re forcing me to go on a date with her."


    Avery was stunned.


    "That person is in Bridgedale?"


    "Yes!" Eric was feeling troubled. "I won''t go and see her!"


    "I think, since your parents like that girl, that means that she must be quite pretty. Go and meet her!


    What if you two are a match?" Avery advised. "Or maybe you two could find a different way of


    contacting each other. Chat online first. Once you two get along online, you could meet each other.


    "I''ve added her on social media. You wouldn''t guess that the person my parents introduced me to is


    a buff man with eightpack abs."


    "What happened? Why did your parents...?"


    "My parents thought that he was a girl because the person that introduced the girl to them said that


    he was a girl. I told my parents that he was a guy, but they refused to believe me." Eric was troubled


    by the absurdity of this issue.


    "How do you know that this person is a guy? You two haven’t met yet, right?" Avery was confused.


    "His profile picture is a guy with eightpack abs. His name is a guy''s name too."


    Avery said, "Eric, a profile picture doesn''t mean that it''s the person''s true identity! Since the person


    who introduced her to your parents said that she''s a girl, I don''t think there''s a mistake."
