Chapter 566 - 566: What Are You Thinking About?

The phone call went through quickly. Meyer then answered politely, "Miss. Diana, let's cooperate."

Avery had arrived at Howels' house. She closed herself in the study room. In the study room, books were everywhere, on the floor or study desk. They just dropped from the bookcase accidentally.

Avery opened the draw, finding there were all kinds of bills which neatly stored, and pasted on a black leather book. Whenever they got out, Evan kept the bills.

Avery smiled bitterly, opened the bills, and started to recall the wonderful memories.

Avery then closed the book and put it back to the paintings. She just sat on the black leather chair, which was shaking. Avery tried to press against the temple and thought to herself, "what am I doing? Why am I so anxious?"

Tap tap—

Someone knocked on the door. Avery opened her eyes, seeing a maid get into the room, "Mrs. Howel, there is a fox to you from the north study room."

The maid handed her the doc.u.ment across the study desk.

It was a copy of the painting purchase contract. Avery knew it must be from Diana.

As soon as the maid walked out of the door, she shouted, "Mr. Howel," and then stepped back for give way to Evan. Finally, she closed the door.

Avery just held the copy contract. When she heard that Evan was there, she immediately hid the contract. Evan, however, had seen the action. Soon, he found it was in a mess in the study room.

"What are you looking for?"

Avery didn't say a word, just sitting on the chair and staring at Evan coldly.

"What's in your hand?"

Evan asked, but Avery didn't answer him, so Evan tried to walk behind her and see what she was holding.

When Evan stopped before Avery, he reached out from Avery's arms. Avery didn't dodge. Evan got the doc.u.ment quickly.

Looking at the copy doc.u.ment, Evan looked different all of a sudden and then asked, "Someone said something to you?"

"Why not tell me what have you done?"

Evan tightened his jaw and pinched her shoulders with both hands, "what do you know?"

"I heard that it is you who put on the stained glass in our room," Avery said peacefully.

"That's correct," Evan explained anxiously, "It is true that I didn't like you before, but the stained glass was for…"

"Why do you buy more paintings? Do you want me to hate you? Or you wanted to kill me?" Avery asked with a critical and desperate smile.

At the very beginning, Avery doubted that Mrs. Howel did something terrible to him. And then Avery doubted that Diana wanted to kill her, but she never expected that Evan Howel was the one who tried to kill her.

All of a sudden, Avery recalled what Mrs. Howel said seriously, "you can't accept the truth."

At that time, Mr. Howel was afraid that Avery would refuse to give the child's umbilical cord blood to Rebecca.

Now, Evan had admitted that he brought the toxin to Avery.

"Do I want to kill you? Why? Do you think I am this kind of man?" Evan became very uncomfortable when he heard what Avery predicted.

"That's true. Otherwise, is the stained glass for fun?"

Evan still held Avery's arms tight. Her words are just like a blade cutting Evan. Evan still held her shoulder tight and said, "the visual stimulation of color will make people easily irritable. I have to admit that I didn't refuse the suggestion that there was stained glass in your room.

But later, I loved you. I had already asked the maids to change it."

Avery shook her head. She couldn't believe that Evan tried to kill her and tortured the baby now because of the new toxin.

"Why are you shaking your head? Don't you believe me?"

"I am tired now. You can leave first," Avery then raised her eyes slowly with no more energy. Then Avery thought of something and added, "oh. It is your study room. I got to go."

"Don't be angry with me."

Avery tried to control herself to not be angry with him, but when she recalled what Diana said, "You can't live with a man who tried to kill you" and the baby's face, she became more sorrowful."

Avery bit her lips and thought to herself, "when he loves me, he can be gentle and does care about me very much. But if he doesn't love me anymore one day, will he hurt me again?"

Thinking that she almost died because of Evan, how could she calm down?

She didn't want to see Evan at this time.

"Talk to me! What are you thinking about?"

"You know what I am thinking about."

"Do you want to know what I am thinking? Mr. Howel was a skillful man. Why not cut my head and see what I was thinking…"

"Don't talk to me in this way, please. I am sorry about what I did before. Do you want to punish me? Kneel on the keyboard? I will as soon as you can forgive me."

Avery then looked away. Evan reached out and touched her face, "Forgive me? Ok?"

Avery then tried to get out of his hands.

She tried her best to get out of his hands.

Pang—

Avery fell, but she stood up as soon as possible, just looked like a soulless ragdoll, "I'm going to see the baby."

"I want to go with you," Evan immediately held Avery's wrist from behind.

Avery then moved slightly and answered coldly, "you aren't qualified."

"Why do you talk to me in this way?" Evan tried to calm down. He was worried.

"You don't follow me."

Then, Evan loosened. Avery just wanted to leave the study room as soon as possible.

Avery walked into the baby room. The baby was sleeping. She was lying on the fence of a small shaker, touching her gentle and soft face with one hand. Suddenly, she frowned as if she had done something wrong. The baby frowned slightly and smacked her mouth.

Avery touched the baby's scar on her left. She felt uncomfortable, so Avery tried to move her little finger, and the baby happened to touch Avery's finger gently.

Tears filled with Avery's eyes all of a sudden. Her voice was choked with tears.

Her eyes were buried in her arms. Soon, her arms were wet because of the tears.

She tried to relax her shoulders so as not to make noises and woke the baby up.

Wah-wah—

The baby suddenly cries very loudly when she was sleeping as if she had the same feeling as her mother.

Avery wiped tears away with the back of her hand. Then she picked up the little princess and patted her, "baby, don't be afraid. No one will hurt you again. Mum will take you away from here."
