Avery withdrew the feelings because of the kiss. She raised her hands and didn't hesitate to slap him on his face again.
"The slap before was because you give up on our child and me. This is because you offend me. We're divorced. We're not a couple. Please don't cross the line again, Mr. Howel."
Avery slowly looked behind Evan at the direction of the door.
"I see it's not a good time," a figure was at the door in the shadow, "should I come in again like I didn't see anything?"
"What are you doing here? Who lets him in!" Evan looked at Andrew with alertness.
"He's here to pick me," Avery pushed Evan away. She grabbed the luggage that Evan threw away, and Andrew took it over.
"Don't leave me!" Evan shouted out. The bodyguards were all waiting for his orders.
Avery watched indifferently when the bodyguards formed a line at the door to stop them from leaving.
"In what capacity do you insist I stay? Do I need to clarify our relationship again? Andrew used to be my fiance. Is it wrong that I leave with him?"
Avery really didn't want to stay. Diana was here. It smelt of her scent. She admitted she cared.
"If Andrew didn't mind taking me away, why should you?" Avery sounded more determined and calmer. Her mind was set up. She wanted to get in touch with Jessica to get the drug. So she called Andrew to pick her; otherwise, she wouldn't even contact Andrew.
"Andrew, do you mind?"
Andrew shook his head. He was thrilled. His handsome look thus became more good-looking.
"If I mind, I wouldn't come. It's my pleasure."
Evan looked extremely displeased. He strode over to stop Avery from leaving. But Avery hid behind Andrew's back.
"Evan, I hear you're getting married. Congratulations," Andrew stopped Evan.
Evan grabbed Andrew by his collar to hit him. But his fist stayed in the air because Avery stood between him and Andrew.
"Evan, what else could you do besides hitting people? Get off, Andrew!"
Evan grabbed Andrew by his collar. Avery grabbed Evan's hands to stop him. It was funny. Diana was here. Everything he did was for her. But he wouldn't let Avery go. Why?
Was it because he was a control freak?
If he didn't love Avery, he had to stop her from leaving with other men?
Is that it?
Andre smiled coldly.
"Do you know why I decide to leave with Andrew?"
She looked at Evan without any particular feelings. It was like she let everything go.
"Andrew had something that you didn't have," she smiled ironically, "he'll be loyal to me forever. He won't marry another woman in his life. I'm willing to leave with him because of that."
Evan's pupils shrunk suddenly. Something rushed to his throat but was choked there.
"Evan, let him go."
Nobody knew how long it was. It was like they were in a strange circle. Nobody could leave nor could enter.
Diana suddenly started coughing fiercely.
Tinder said.
"Miss Summer, how are you? Get the doctor, and Miss Summer coughs blood."
Evan's pupils shrunk again. He suddenly realized something and let Andrew go. He completely let him go.
Evan put his hands down at his side. He was powerless.
Avery held Andrew up. But she was in a daze as well. What she said to Evan almost exhausted her energy.
Suddenly she saw you pitch darkness. The world was swirling. Andrew held her in time.
"Are you okay?"
Avery leaned against him and looked at Evan's back.
Diana was just coughing, and he went to check on her. Did he know she was dying?
Avery sniffed and held the tears back.
"Let's go."
Andrew suddenly bent over to pick her up.
"You're getting heavier."
"Are your legs okay?"
"I'm willing to break them for you."
Avery was speechless.
Under the bodyguards' watch, Andrew picked Avery up on the car. Maybe she was exhausted, the second she touched the seat, she was asleep.
Later, Andrew told Avery that she was in a coma for two days. The doctor said she was okay, or else she would be taken to the hospital.
When she woke up in a daze, Avery realized she was in the presidential suite. Andrew had his back at her. He was on the phone in front of the French window.
"President house?" Andrew hesitated for a second and repeated what he just heard, "are you saying they move from the castle to the president's house?"
"Yes. Tell Jaxon my thanks."
Andrew hung up the phone. He looked worried. Avery leaned against the bed. She seldom saw him like this.
"What's wrong?" Avery couldn't know what he was told. But she could put two and two together.
Andrew didn't plan to hide it from Avery.
"Jessica was taken to the president's house."
"President house? Why was she taken there?"
"Logan had an adopted son. He bought Jessica in the black market."
"The presidential house is more guarded. It'll be more difficult to take Jessica."
Taking her away was one thing. It was difficult to meet her.
"It's hard, but not impossible."
"What's your plan?"
"Rebecca is going to throw her bachelor party in the president house. I get an invitation."
Avery felt her eyelids jumping. She hesitated and said.
"So, do you mean you go to the party?"
"Not I, we," Andrew said with deep meaning, "I want you to go with me."
She was willing to go to the party. As long as she could find Jessica, she could get the drug.
But...
"I have to tell you Rebecca is just pretending to be nice to me. She doesn't really like me. Besides, after everything, I think she hates me. Do you think we can get in?"
Andrew lowered his head and opened the invitation so Avery could see.
"The bachelor party is a masquerade."
Avery froze at the words. But she soon realized what it meant.
A masquerade meant she and Andrew didn't have to show their faces.
