Chapter 869


    "... I, I don''t want to send her a love letter." Serena turned her head guiltily.


    "Then you want me to help you?"


    "Anabel is very much like Thirza. Thirza and I are so far away from each other. I just can''t stop


    worrying about Thirza."


    "Every time I see her, I will think of Thirza. So I can''t refuse her when she asks me for help." Serena


    told the reason.


    Avery never paid any attention to what that Anabel guy looked like. After the basketball match, he


    tore the letter into pieces without even taking a look at it.


    Just now, all his attention was on Serena. How could he remember what she looked like?


    He knew that Serena, who was cold and indifferent, cared only about her family, especially her


    sister, who was a little bit too active.


    If it was for this reason, he would not be so angry. He gently scratched her nose with his finger.


    "I will forgive you this time. If there is a next time, you''ll wish you never had done it! Tell me honestly,


    if the director didn''te just now, what would


    you have said?"


    Serena''s mind was full of entanglement at that time. She definitely did not want to agree, but Anabel


    was begging her.


    "No, probably, because it''s your own business."


    "That''s more like it. This is not my business, it''s our business. I don''t like there to be a third party."


    "Avery, there''s something you need to promise me."


    "Go ahead. I''ll promise you a million things if I have to." Avery was always so generous with her.


    The way he agreed to it so quickly without any hesitation made Serena somewhat touched.


    "I am still young, and now it is the so- called rebellious period because of adolescence. The love in


    my heart should be as determined as mommy and daddy''s.


    "Now I may not be able to make the right choice. I don''t know what love is."


    "Loving a person should be something that wouldst for a lifetime."


    "If I said ''love'' at an age where I don''t even understand what love is, then I would be failing both you


    and myself."


    "Mom also said that our engagement is nothing but a promise."


    "If you don''t love me or I don''t love you, that agreement will be invalid."


    Before Serena could finish, Avery interrupted her. "I was already sure of you before you were born. I


    can''t possibly not love you."


    "Avery, just let me finish, will you?"


    "Alright, go on." Avery suppressed his emotions. He should have had a good chat with Serena a


    long time ago.


    Serena sorted out her thoughts and continued, "This is just a what- if, okay? What if we find


    someone we truly love, the both of us? We should congratte each other and give each other our


    blessings."This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Love couldn''t be forced. It should be something arising out of sheer voluntary wills."


    "I can''t give you a promise now, so I hope that you can give me some time to figure out what kind of


    feelings I have for you."


    "If I love you, our engagement will continue. If I don''t, you have to let me go by the time I figure it all


    out."


    Avery met her clear eyes and his hand tucked her messy hair. "Sometimes, I really hope that you


    won''t be so rational, just like people of the same age as you."


    Just like those little girls, whose hearts would start pounding as if boosted by adrenaline as soon as


    he set his eyes on them for the split of a second.


    Serena was not a little girl like that. She was smart and rational. Since she was a child, she was


    very clear about what she wanted and what she was doing.


    Serena grabbed his hand nervously and asked, "Avery, will you give me your word?"


    "When have I ever not? I can give you a chance. One year, I hope you can see your heart before


    graduation."


    "You are such a reasonable person. I believe that that''s enough time for you to think clearly about


    your feelings for me. But know this, I won''t give you a chance to not like me."


    "So you agree?" Serena''s eyes were filled with joy.


    "Of course, in fact, I''m also very happy that you can tell me the truth. You''re very serious about this


    rtionship, which also represents how much you value it." Avery had known her for many years,


    so he naturally knew what kind of person Serena was.


    "Then for the time being, just treat me as your sister, okay? You still have to help me with my study."


    Serena might appear fine for the past month but she had always felt there was something missing


    in her heart.


    "All right."


    "Avery, are you mad at me for switching to another school without telling you?" After finally opening


    up to each other, Serena spat out the question that had been weighing on her for so long.


    "At first, I was a little. I arranged everything for you but you literally betrayed me."


    "The thing that makes me angry is that you hide it from me. Do you hate me so much that you want


    to escape in this way?"


    "I have never hated you. I just don''t want to be known as your finance starting from the first day of


    school."


    "I couldn''t care less when we were back in primary school but now it''s high school. I don''t want to


    have fingers pointing at me, talking behind my back every single day."


    Avery patted her head and said, "It''s my fault that I didn''t consider your feelings. But you could tell


    them to me. I''m not that overbearing a person, am I?"


    "I know I was wrong. At that time, I was afraid that you would not agree. I will tell you directly if I


    have any ideas in the future." Serena felt relieved.


    "That''s my girl. Let alone love, I''m still your big brother, right? You know how sad I must be if you


    suddenly change to a new school," Avery said. Avery had not been feeling welltely and had


    be much more rxed after solving this problem between him and Serena.


    "I''m sorry, Avery."


    "You don''t have to say sorry to me. No matter what you did wrong, I won''t me you. It''s just that


    my heart was in pain before."


    "Then... then what should I do? I''ll give you a massage." Serena stretched out her hand to rub his


    chest.


    Avery held her hand and left. "It''s gettingte. Let''s go home."


    "Alright."


    Serena and he got rid of their conflict. Just like before, Avery opened the door for her and they went


    back home."


    "Tomorrow is the weekend, and we haven''t had fun together for a long time. I''ll give you a tour


    around the city," Avery proposed.


    "Great, junior high is way more tiring than primary school." Serena felt less tightened with Avery.


    A man stood not far away, watching Serena get in Avery''s car. Avery even opened the door for her.


    What would they be doing at a time thiste?


    Addilyn''s face was as cold as ice. She was the one who went to report to the teacher to sabotage


    the girl''s n but everything went right down south unexpectedly.


    Avery didn''t care about Anabel at all, but Serena!


    Although she was known as the campus belle, Serena''s appearance was far above hers, which


    made Addilyn gnash her teeth in anger.


    "Little b*tch, you''ll get what you deserve!"


    No one could stop her from doing anything. Even though she did not know Avery''s family''s specific


    background, the luxurious limo and his expensive clothes could already prove how wealthy it must


    be.


    "Just to imagine how much better my life would be if I were to be his girlfriend! And I would be


    able to immigrate! There''s no way I''m giving up, even there''s just the slightest chance!" Addilyn


    thought to herself.
