Chapter 870


    After the problem lying in their hearts for so long was solved finally, they got back to the way they


    had always been. Serena told all the things that happened at school to Avery.


    "Are girls all so easily blinded by superficial appearance? I didn''t know that the senior student who


    transferred to our school was you. I''ve been hearing tons of things about you."


    "Things like what?" Avery had never cared about these. He had already gotten used to being gazed


    at even on the streets ever since he was a child.


    From junior high to senior high, he had received countless confessions of love but he just pretended


    none of that happened.


    "Handsome, tall, h h h." Serena had an expression of disgust on her face.


    "What about you?"


    "What about me?" Serena looked at him speechlessly.

    "Do you think I''m handsome?" Avery asked seriously. He never cared about other people''s


    opinions, but only about Serena''s opinion of him.


    "I have long been immune to your face since I was a child." Serena decided to tell a lie as the image


    of Avery ying basketball appeared in her mind.


    When Avery was teaching her, she had no one topare him to so she never thought he was too


    special. But when being put among the crowd, Avery seemed like a beam of light cast down from


    heaven, which was blindingly stunning.


    Especially the scene where he dunked.


    "Is that so? But I think you are getting more and more beautiful. The red dress you wore yesterday


    was really wonderful," Avery said gently.


    "You... how do you know what I wore yesterday?"


    "Of course. Not only yesterday, I remember everything you wore for the past week. Hell, I could


    even tell how much longer your hair has grown."


    Serena suddenly felt thatpared with Avery, she was too absent-minded about him.


    The car stopped in the midst of their conversation. "We''re here. Serena, I''ll pick you up tomorrow."


    "Alright, Avery, see you tomorrow."


    "Bye."


    Avery had a smile on his face as he watched Serena get back home. It was a rather fruitful day, at


    least he got to work things out with Serena and got to know her real thoughts.


    Serena''s mood also got much better after making things normal with Avery. As soon as she entered


    the door, a little child rushed towards her.


    "You are finally back, sister! I''ve been bored to death."


    Adrian was Tracey and Adam''s third son. She was only five years old this year.


    "Where are Mommy and daddy?" Serena nced around the house, but there was no sign of them


    at all.


    "Mommy is too tired from working. Daddy took her back to the room and massaged her. Daddy also


    specially asked me not to disturb them." The pair of big eyes was very simr to that of Tracey.


    As soon as Serena heard this, she knew what they were doing. Adam would always find an excuse


    to snatch away their mom from them.


    When she was a child, she didn''t know what they went to do. As time passed by, she grew up and


    understood.


    "Then I''ll take you to shower and sleep." Serena put down her bag.


    "Great, that''s great."


    After taking a bath for Adrian, bringing him back to the room, and putting his favorite Teddy beside


    him, Serena watched him fall asleep and then left.


    When she passed the main bedroom, she heard the vague voice of her mothering from inside,


    just like a kitten meowing.


    She looked at her watch. It had been more than an hour, and her daddy was still torturing her


    mommy. She didn''t understand the adult world!


    She went back to her room to take a bath. She stroked the small jade lock hanging on her neck.


    She had not taken it off ever since it was put there.


    Stroking the jade, she murmured, "Avery..."


    Her cellphone rang and it was Facetime. She looked at the screen and saw it was Thirza calling.


    Though they were living across the world, they would Facetime with each other every once in a


    while.


    "Why are you always in a bath when I call you?" Thirza''s smiling face appeared on the screen.


    "Well, I don''t know, maybe ''cause I love my baths." Serena was in a pile of foam and only her face


    could be seen on the screen.


    "How''s junior high? Much better than primary school, ain''t it?" Thirza sat on the bed, fiddling with


    her fingers.


    "Boring."


    "Sis, to be honest, how far have you progressed with Avery?" asked Thirza, who was very


    interested in gossip.


    "None."


    "You''re blushing. There must be some progress. Have you snogged yet?" Seeing Serena''s


    unnatural reaction, she knew that there was something wrong.


    "What? Snog? No!." Serena was never a good liar.


    Thirzaughed as if she had found a new continent. "Come on! You must have made out already.


    Your face is much redder. It must feel good to kiss Avery. After all, you were literally born to be with


    each other!"


    Serena recalled the scene of being forcefully kissed by Avery. That was her first kiss! And there


    were so many people around them.


    "Thirza, do you think I should be with Avery? What if one day I fall in love with someone else?"


    "Then you would be the most shameless person I will have ever seen. Avery has been waiting for


    you to grow up, and we all know how good he is to you."


    "But who can say for sure about love? What if you two just don''t click. Anyway, follow your heart."


    "Follow my heart?" Serena muttered. In the past, she had never thought about these things. She


    always felt that she was too young and it was too early for her to consider love.


    "That''s right. For bystanders, me, for instance, we think you two make the perfect match."


    "How nice Avery is to you. Do you know why he chose you instead of me?"


    "Why?" Serena had never asked this question while Thirza dug to the bottom of it all long ago.


    "That''s because when we were children, our personalities were very different. I had a lively


    personality, while you were a piece of ice."


    Brother Avery said that you must not have many friends in the future, and you would be alone, so


    he wanted to be there for you." Thirza''s words made Serena dumbfounded. How could Avery have


    thought about all this when he was a child?


    "I just want to remind you that Avery is really the best of them there is. You don''t really get a second


    shot with a man this good. So seize your opportunity lest it neveres your way ever again."


    Thirza''s words made Serena realize that despite her careless attitude al the time, she figured it all


    out.


    Serena was a cold-hearted person. If she forced Avery away, she would regret it for the rest of her


    life.


    "You sound like a hundred- year- old granny!" Serenained.


    "I''m doing this for your own good. You''re my only sister."


    "Thirza..."


    Steve''s voice came from the phone. Thirza hung up the phone in a hurry and said, "I gotta go.


    Steve''s looking for me."


    "Right, bye." Serena hung up and thought, "Thirza, you are all clear about others'' love, what about


    your own?"


    Thirza loved to be around Steve ever since she was an infant. Now that twelve years had passed


    and Steve, who was already 34 years old and still single, it must have something to do with Thirza.
