Chapter 1776
At Bridgedale, Avery and Adrian sent Lilith to the airport. After Lilith passed through security, they came out of the airport."Adrian, I'm afraid that Lilith won't return that quickly. Do you want to move over to my place to stay?" Avery asked, "I have many empty rooms and I'm usually home alone."Adrian shook his head. "I don't want to move around. I can look after myself.""Adrian, I don't think you need to be cared for. It's more like someone you could talk to," Avery explained, "I know now that not only do you know how to do chores, but you can also cook. You don't need a nanny anymore.""Lilith hired a teacher for me, he is staying in the same neighborhood. My teacher is quite old. He has a lot of time every day, so he often comes to look for me," Adrian's eyes sparkled when he said that. "I like learning how to draw from him.""Hmm. Then are you learning with him today?""We have agreed to meet in the afternoon.""Okay, then let's have lunch together and I'll send you ba

Avery searched for the office address on her phone. Once she found the address, she left the house and drove there.Driving from her place to the office took about half an hour. In terms of her lifestyle not exceeding ten kilometers from where she was, the journey was indeed a little far.However, at that moment, she had an obsession on her mind. Even if the branch was even further away, she was going to drive there to have a look anyhow. It was not peak office hours, so the traffic was smooth.About half an hour later, she arrived at the address she found on the internet.Coming out of her car, she stood in front of the office and furrowed her brows tightly.Was this the Bridgedale branch of Tate Industries?Why did she feel strange?The building was new, but there were no related signs on it. Also, looking inside through the lobby entrance, she could see that almost everything had been emptied. There was no one inside.What was going on? Was this branch…closed?Avery took

In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. Was Jed not dead? If not, why would he send her an email?Tears blurred her vision. Her fingers were trembling terribly, so much so that she had to tap a few times before tapping into Jed's emails.Perhaps she was too excited, so she accidentally tapped on the back button.

[I don't suppose you've forgotten that we got stuck at Ylore and couldn’t leave because your son Hayden went there and took the life of the Goulds with the help of their butler.][I met Ruby at the hospital. She seemed very stressed by her pregnancy because Elliot refused to touch her or have children with her.][I've always felt that he refused to get intimate because you were the only person in Elliot's heart. At that moment, I immediately understood why you risked your life to look for him at Ylore—the two of you are a match made in heaven, and nothing can ever separate you two.][I believe in true love, and at the time of writing this email, I have this gut feeling that you'll eventually get back together with him.][You can probably guess what happened next. I transferred the embryo from your body to Ruby in exchange for her guarantee that she would help us leave Ylore.][I'm writing this email for two reasons. The first is to admit my mistakes to you and ask for your forgive

Avery had changed her itinerary.She booked a flight to Ylore as soon as she saw Jed's email, and she was sitting on the plane at that moment.Tears were streaming down her face as she sat there and looked at the scenery outside the window.The flight attendant called out to her but she did not answer.After a while, another flight attendant came over."Do you need anything, Miss Tate?" The flight attendant asked softly. "Are you feeling unwell? Or..."Avery wiped away her tears and looked at the blanket in the flight attendant's hand. "I'm feeling a little cold. I'll be fine with that blanket.""Okay. Do you need some warm water?" The flight attendant asked while handing her the blanket.She noticed another flight attendant holding a glass of water, so she decided to just tell them, "Thanks."The flight attendant immediately handed her the warm water."The plane will land in another four hours, Miss Tate. If you have any questions during this period, you may call us at any t

Wesley had no choice but to call Mike, and the call got through as soon as he pressed the 'dial' icon."Why can't I get through to Avery?" Wesley asked."I can't either! I sent her to the airport at noon and I haven't been able to contact her since then. Everything was normal when she was at the airport. There's no reason why she'd get off the plane without switching it on!" Mike spent almost the entire day cracking his head open.He planned to fly to her travel destination if he still could not contact her by that night."She received an email from Jed today," Wesley told him about the call from Jed's father. "Didn't she tell you about it?""No! Isn't Jed dead? How can a dead person send her an email? This is just fishy! Who knows if someone faked Jed's account to send her that email?!" Mike entertained the prospect of a conspiracy theory. "Maybe someone tricked her?"Wesley was speechless.He did not share the same views as Mike and believed that Jed might still be alive."I
Chapter 1782
Avery called Mike and gave him that reminder because she knew that Elliot would try and gain custody of Ivy if he caught wind of what was happening.She had not seen Robert for three years, and she did not even know if she would be able to meet him when she returns to Aryadelle.Letting him have custody of Ivy was the last thing she wanted because she feared it might be difficult for her to see Ivy again in the future.Ivy might well be dead, but it was better to have a little hope than to immediately assume that the child was dead.Mike knew what she was thinking.The reason she and Elliot had a divorce was because of Ivy.If she had known since then that Ivy was their child, it might not have set off the domino effect that led to the collapse of everything. It no longer mattered that she found out the truth about Ivy being her child because her relationship with Elliot had long since broken down.After the call ended, Mike went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water.

"I remember that you didn't seem to tell me the follow-up to this matter. I thought I had remembered wrongly!" Mike gradually lowered his voice.Avery went to Ylore to find Ivy, and she would not stop until she found the child's whereabouts.It was not that big of a deal if there was concrete news on the child's death. After all, a short and swift pain was much less agonizing than a prolonged period of suffering! Mike's greatest concern was the lack of news and information on Ivy's whereabouts because that would only lead Avery on a wild goose chase.At Ylore, Avery took a taxi to Nick's house after having some rest the previous night.She did not bother calling him because she was staying in a hotel not far from his house.As soon as she arrived, she went to the door of Nick's detached villa and rang the doorbell.The servant in the villa stuck her head out and walked to the courtyard gate when she saw Avery."And you are?" The servant looked at Avery's face and did not immedia
