Chapter 617

“Let’s not talk about him then,” Wesley said with a smile, “It’s late. I have to send Shea home. Let’s
meet up again soon!”

Avery looked at the time and nodded.

“Go! I’ll sit here for a little while longer.”

Avery had a long nap in the afternoon, she was still feeling quite awake. Her children were not home. It
would be boring for her to be at home, so she would rather stay out a little longer.

She was the one that set up the meeting that night. She brought gifts from Bridgedale for them.

After the two of them left, Avery took her phone out of her bag. She saw Mike’s message, [He left! You
can come back already!]

Avery replied, [I’m not out because I’m avoiding him. Can you don’t think of me as such a coward?]

[That’s not what I meant! I just want you to come back quickly! It’s dark out! It’s not safe!]

[This country is very safe. Why are you so free? Why aren’t you on acd date?]

[I haven’t seen you for a few days! I want to be with you!]

[I’ll be back immediately,] texted Avery. She took her back and left thege restaurant.

In Elliot’s mansion. When Wesley sent Shea back, Elliot was coincidentally at home too.

Elliot nodded at Wesley before taking Shea into the living area. Shea was wearing a beautiful bracelet.
It shimmered under the lights.



Elliot has never seen that on her before, so he asked, “Shea, did you buy this bracelet today? Or did
Wesley give you that?”

Shea said, “Avery gave them to me tonight! I liked it a lot!”

Elliot’s expressions instantly darkened. “You all were with her tonight?”

Shea realized that she had let slip. She immediately pursed her lips. Her eyes were filled with fear.

“Shea, don’t worry, I’m not angry.” Elliot quickly collected his thoughts. He held her hand and had a
good look at the bracelet.

“The bracelet is very pretty. Go rest!”

Shea held Elliot’s huge hands tightly. She said in confusion, “Big Brother, did you make Avery angry
again? Don’t always make her angry! Avery is a great person. I like her a lot.”

She paused a while before saying, “Wesley would never make Avery angry, which is why Avery would
want to play with him.”

The veins on Elliot’s forehead popped.

He called Wesley that night to ask him if Avery was with him or not. He said that she was not. Elliot’s
previous pity for Wesley totally vanished that night.

The next morning. Elliot drove to Avery’s. He saw the gate shut and the courtyard empty. It seemed like
no one was home.

At that moment, indeed no one was home.



Half an hour ago, Mike and Avery drove to Zirconia. That day was Layla’s last day of shooting. After the
shooting in the afternoon, she could pack up.

They decided to pick Layla up.

At five in the afternoon, they returned to the Starry River Villa. When their car slowly drove toward the
villa, Elliot’s tall figure appeared in front of them.

Avery did not think that he would wait for her in front of her house. When did he arrive? How… how
long has he been waiting?
