Seeing her awake, he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "How'd you sleep?" ☐☐66% +8 Pearls "With you next to me? Of course I slept well." She nuzzled against his chest affectionately. "Why haven't you gone to the office yet?" "I wanted to wait until you woke up. No rush." "Hmm... did you go out last night?" she asked lazily.
She vaguely remembered stirring in the middle of the night and finding the bed empty. He hadn't returned until two hours later, and by then she'd fallen back into a deep sleep.
"Yeah. Something cup. Had to step out." Landon didn't explain further. "Want to get up and have breakfast? The housekeeper's already made everything." "Alright." While she was washing up, Ms. Tessa received a message from one of the band members-Stephen's mood had stabilized, and now everyone just wanted to understand why Avery was leaving.
That was what she wanted to know too. She immediately called Avery.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the call cin, Avery was still asleep, sprawled across his bed. He'd drunk too much with Landon the night before. His head throbbed like it was going to explode. Hangovers were miserable.
He fumbled around blindly before finally finding his phone. "Hello?" he mumbled hoarsely.
"Avery, where are you? Can we meet up?" "Ms. Tessa, I've already said everything there is to say. No matter what you ask, my answer won't change." Ms. Tessa was speechless. She hadn't even said anything yet, and he was already brushing her off? Was that really necessary? "I'm just asking to meet. What, are you planning to never see any of us again?" Even if he was set on leaving, it didn't have to be like this.
Avery didn't reply for a long time.
She was right.
Was he really planning to never see them again? Could he really be okay with that? || Alright. Let's meet at noon. Just not at TS Entertainment. I'm not ready to face the others yet." He couldn't bring himself to look them in the eye. He was terrified of seeing their disappointment. Because in the end, he really had let them down. And for that, he felt truly sorry.
"Okay. Let's meet at the Silvermoon Estate at eleven." With the tand place settled, Ms. Tessa hung up and let out a deep breath.

That noon meeting was probably going to be anything but smooth.

Ms. Tessa handled a few matters at TS Entertainment, and once the agreed tapproached, she left for Silvermoon Estate.
Meanwhile, Avery didn't wake until close to noon. After a quick shower and getting ready to leave, he opened his door-only to find several men in black suits blocking the hallway. They were tall, broad-shouldered, and carried an unmistakable edge in their eyes. These weren't ordinary bodyguards.

The man in front stepped forward, voice stiff. "Young Master, we're just following orders. Please cwith us." They all knew-if they failed to bring him back, they'd be the ones punished.
"I'm going to meet someone. You wait here. After that, I'll speak to father myself.” Avery understood they were in a tough spot, but he had his own priorities. "Sir, we really-" one of them tried to object.
"What? You want to get physical here?" Avery's gaze turned ice cold. "You know what I aix now. If this O turns into a scene and fans catch it on camera, it won't be good for any of us." He wasn't afraid of a fight. He just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
The men exchanged glances and fell silent.
They knew he was right. If things escalated here, none of them would get off clean.
Finally, the lead man clenched his jaw. "Fine. We'll wait here. But don't make us look bad. Walter said if you stall any longer, he won't hesitate to go after the people close to you." It was a direct threat, sharp and unambiguous.
Avery's pupils instantly contracted into narrow, dangerous slits. He lunged forward and grabbed the lead man by the throat. "I'll go back with you. But if any of you lay a finger on my friends, I swear-I'll make you regret it." 2.6K The will be updated first on this website. Cback and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
