Chapter 906
It was the first school day of Grade Eight. Serena pushed the door open as usual, but there was no
one waiting at the door anymore.
Serena took a deep breath, ''How terrible the habit is!''
''But Avery, I''ll get used to it.''
"Serena." a male voice came. Serena looked up with a rush and saw a smiling face with sunshine.
Kieran ran to her and said, "My dear Serena, from now on, I''ll apany you to school every day."
''He is in the UK now, what am I expecting for?!''
The sight of Kieran made Serena change from pleased to indifferent.
"Serena, your disappointment really hurts me, though I am not Avery." Kieran saw the rapid change
on Serena''s face.
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard that Avery went to the UK. So, it is my job to escort you now. Serena, I know that you like
Maybach, and this is the new car I got from my Dad yesterday."
Shooting a nce at the new car, the same as that one of Avery, Serena said, "You make a
mistake. I don''t like the car, but that person in the car."
Then, she went in her own Lincoln.
"Serena, if you don''t like it, I don''t mind that you give me a ride." Kieran got in Serena''s car without
invitation.
Serena felt defeated by his shamelessness, ''What a weirdo Kieran is!''
One might call it love, but Kieran had been clingy to Serena since kindergarten when they were too
little to know anything about love.
Their entanglements hadsted seven years, but Serena still didn''t know why Kieran was so clingy
to her.
Did he love her? He never mentioned love.
Serena asked him why, and he answered, "We are deskmates."
How weird that a deskmate was so clingy to the other! It should be a singr case in the world.
"Serena, will you miss Avery?"
Nonsense! She was dying to see him again! She missed him so much that she hadn''t slept well in
the past few days.
His departure made Serena realize how important Avery was to her life.
"Serena, don''t worry. I''ll fill the ce of Avery to protect you," Kieran said seriously.
Serena did not take Kieran''s words seriously because she already had a n to fulfill.
Serena joined in the entrance examination for secondary school at Grade Eight and was admitted to
Grade Ten.
That was how she tried to catch up with Avery.
When the school opened, Serena felt d that Kieran was left behind.
She could start a quiet life now. However, the lot was unpredictable.
A brightly smiling face greeted Serena upon her entry to the new ssroom, "Hi, Serena, surprise!
Look, we are ssmates again!"
Serena was lost for words.
Desperation caught her, as she never heard that this chatterbox would skip grads as she did.
She knew nothing about Kieran''s academic records, as Avery had all her attention.
Once again, she and Kieran were deskmates.
At 14 years old, Serena was already 170 cm, and Kieran grew to 185 cm in one year.
Serena missed Avery every day. Apart from the ocean, there was a timeg, which added difficulty
to their contact.
Avery started a business when a freshman; therefore, he was too busy toe home for
vacation.
He promised Serena a home. And he tried to fulfill it with his own ability instead of the wealth and
influence of his family. On the starting stage, he ran round in circles.
It had been a year since thest time Serena saw Avery, as he didn''te home to celebrate the
New Year.
He had wished he could, but there was just too much work for him.
Even so, Avery bid goodnight to Serena by texting every day. More often than not, he himself didn''t
have a regr work-and-rest system.
Serena had intended to visit him on vacation, but a second thought convinced her that Avery should
be too busy to have fun with her, and she didn''t want to cause trouble.
She made good use of the vacations to make her own investment. She wanted to stand shoulder to
shoulder with Avery rather than be a delicate flower protected by him.
They didn''t see each other for all three years, though they spent every day with each other before
that.
"Serena, don''t you miss Avery?" Tracey asked.
"Mommy, it is already an everyday homework for me."

How could she stop thinking about Avery? The long- distance didn''t lessen her love, and she
missed him more and more as days passed by.
Every night, she would hold the little jade lock, a gift from Avery, in her hands to fall asleep.
"It shouldn''t be like this. Avery has been away for three years and never came back once." Tracey
sighed.
Serena held Tracey''s hand gently, "Mommy, don''t me Avery. I can understand him."
"What?"
"He doesn''t dare to see me."
"Why?" Tracey was confused.
"He promised to provide me home before his departure. In the past few years, he had to keep a
bnce between his study and business."
"He didn''t seek help from his family. You should know better than anyone else that it was difficult to
start from scratch. And he had struggled all these years."
"He can''t leave me behind again if hees back now, but he doesn''t seed yet, so, he would
like to suffer lovesickness alone."
"What''s more, not only me that couldn''t see Avery. His parents have to fly to the UK to reunite with
him."
"In this world, only you share his mind, as it is obvious that both families can provide you an affluent
life. But he chooses a tough path."
"Avery is eager to prove himself to the world without the help of his parents. Mommy, you should
understand him with all you suffered."
"Do you trust him so? Avery is 22 years old, and don''t you worry that he has a new sweetheart?"
"No, Avery promised to be true to me. I trust him." Serena''s mouth curved into a smile.
"To catch up with him, you finished your education from Grade Eight to Grade Twelve within two-
and-a- half years. You are hardworking!" Tracey sighed.
Was there a child of the Xiao family without unreasoning passion?
