Chapter 485 The Weight of Silence +8 Pearls Ms. Tessa frowned. "What do you mean by that? Are you leaving? Where are you going?" If he just walked away like this with no explanation, how were the other members supposed to take it? "Avery, you should know no matter what you do, I'll support you. But you can't just leave without a word." Avery knew full well that what he was doing wasn't right. But he truly had no other choice.
"You just need to know that wherever I go, I'll be safe. You don't have to worry about anything else." There were things he simply couldn't tell her.
"Avery, you can't do this. Even when I left before, I still told all of you the reason, didn't I?" "I really am just tired. I want to rest for a while. I'm sick of this life in the entertainment industry." He clung tightly to that explanation. No one could force the truth out of him.
"Let's talk about this tomorrow, alright? Right now, the most important thing is Stephen." He was the youngest among them and had the hardest tdealing with emotional blows.
Avery nodded. "Take care of Stephen. I'm leaving him in your hands." Ms. Tessa stared at him, brows still furrowed. The way he was speaking, it felt like once he left, he wouldn't be coming back. It made her chest ache.

"Stephen, it's me. I know you're in there. Open the door." "Did you hear me? If you don't open up, I'm going to kick this door down. I mean it." "Stephen! I'm saying this one last time-open the door!" She pounded on the door, loud and insistent, but there was no response from inside.
The other three members were clearly worried "Tessa, do you think... do you think Stephen might be thinking something extreme?" The second that possibility was spoken aloud, Ms. Tessa's face went pale.
She couldn't wait another second. Without hesitation, she lifted her foot and, with a loud bang, kicked the door open.
Inside, they found Stephen sitting alone on the windowsill, staring blankly out the window.
"Stephen-" "Don't cnear me!" he shouted without turning around.
The other members all froze, glancing nervously at one another, not knowing what to do next.
Seeing that he hadn't done anything drastic, Ms. Tessa let out a small breath of relief. Then she turned to the others.
"You all go get srest. Leave this to me. No matter what happens, we're always part of the Avery band." 1/2 12:43 Tue, 24 Jun G Chapter 485 The Weight of Silence Even if she'd left before, her heart had always remained with them.

After the others left, she quietly walked over, making sure not to disturb Stephen. Then she sat down on the windowsill across from him, saying nothing, just keeping him company.

"Tessa... did I do something wrong? Is that why the captain wants to leave?" "It was the phly explanation he could cup with. If that was the case, how could he ever forgive himself? The Avery band was his anchor in life. He couldn't bear to see it fall apart..
"Stephen, people have to grow up. If he's made the decision to leave, then there must be a reason he has to go. N As his friends, the best we can do is hope he finds happiness. If we can't support him, then who else will?" She truly was thinking about what was best for Avery.
Stephen's eyes turned red. "So really... the most selfish one is me, isn't it? I've only ever thought about what I want, never what anyone else might need." They must all be so disappointed in him.
"Stephen, don't think like that. I know how much you care about the Avery band. Nothing has been finalized yet. Letfigure out why Avery wants to leave. Once we understand, we'll deal with it together, okay?" Stephen nodded.
"Tessa, why did you leave back then?" he asked quietly. It was something he'd never been able to let go of.
