Chapter 170

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became awkwardly quiet.

Evadne turned around in surprise, meeting Avery’s warm gaze.

Mr. Avery’s call of “Evadne” made Byron’s face even more gloomy.

Emeric glanced at his daughter and then at Avery, his eyes becoming inscrutable. He just smiled faintly

and said, “So Avery went out of his way to pick up Evadne? What a bother for you”

“Mr. Emeric, no need for the formality”

Arnold nudaca Ca**ius sitting next to him, and asked in a low voice, “Ca**ius, when did Evadne and Mr.

Avery get so close? How come I didn’t know?”

“Do you need to know everything about Evadne?” Ca**ius responded nonchalantly.

“Do you know about them being close?”

“I know.”

“Oh! Are you showing off?!”

“Tasked Avery to pick up Evadne.”

Arnold gasped, “Ca**ius, how could you casually hand your little sister over to another man? You can’t

just judge a person by his appearance, and you need to see his heart. What if Mr. Avery has ill

intentions toward our sister? What if he did something inappropriate to her on the way?”

“Having ill intentions is pretty normal. No man in this world, no matter how perfect, could resist

Evadne’s charm. As for the latter, there is no need for us to worry.” Ca**ius slightly curled his lip, “If Mr.

Avery was the kind of person you described, would he still be standing here intact?”

Exactly.

After all, when girls of the same age were still playing with dolls, Ca**ius and Elvis had already taught

Evadne martial arts,

In fact, Ca**ius did this not without a selfish motive.

Thaddeus occupied thirteen years of Evadne’s life. Although she was now fully awake and had

completely excluded that man from her heart, the deep wound Thaddeus left on her was hard to ignore.

At this time, a person needed to appear to fill the void in her heart.

Her brothers couldn’t play that role, but he thought maybe Avery could.

After the two families met, the men talked about various topics in the living room, and the three ladies

pulled Evadne into the backyard for questioning.

“Evadne, tell the truth, what was your relationship with that Mr. Avery?” Aviana asked directly with a

smile, wrapping her arm around Evadne’s waist.

“We’re friends, I guess,” Evadne responded frankly.

“Boyfriend?” Aviana excitedly asked further.

“Male friend!” Evadne replied, somewhat speechless.

“Haha, there’s no such thing as pure friendship between a man and a woman, so he’s still your

boyfriend. Even if he’s not now, he will be soon!”

Aviana pinched her waist, “Remember when your dad got a**a**inated by business rivals in the north

city, and I saved him? He also said he wanted to be friends with me and look at us now! I’m just

missing giving birth to his child!”

Evadne was completely speechless and had to admit defeat to Aviana’s bluntness.

Suri and Myra looked at each other, not angry but rather amused.

Without Aviana’s help back then, Skyrim might not have Emeric today.

Now Aviana’s lower back and left shoulder still bear the scar from the gunshot wound she got while

protecting Emeric.

“Evadne, it would be nice if you could be with Mr. Avery. Your families are of similar social status and

financial situation. Mr. Jeff and your father also have a good relationship. If you marry into the

Chambers family, they will definitely treat you well,” Myra said, her expression somewhat infatuated.

“Moreover, Mr. Avery is handsome. If you two have children, they will definitely be good–looking.”

“Wait! How did we quickly arrive at the topic of me having children with him? How did these things get

connected?!” Evadne felt like their conversation was getting more and more out of hand.

“Myra, I think when it comes to Evadne’s lifelong matter, we can’t just look at appearances,” Suri, being

a rational person, frowned and started analyzing earnestly. “As far as I know, Mr. Avery just returned

from abroad and has few shares in the Chambers Group. His foundation is also not stable. His mother

has been put abroad by Mr. Jeff under the pretext of recuperating and hardly interferes in any matters.

If Evadne marries him, it might seem like a match of equals, but actually, she might be demoting

herself. Maybe he’s eyeing Evadne’s dowry and wants to take control of the Chambers Group with

Evadne’s background.”

“Oh my, Suri makes so much sense. We can’t be hasty with this!” Aviana immediately changed her

attitude.

“Evadne, even when shopping, we compare goods from three stores, let alone a major life decision like

marriage. We either don’t marry, or we marry someone perfect! Or why don’t you reconsider, Byron?”

Evadne felt like they were saying too much, and she couldn’t explain, so she covered her head in

frustration.

Having too many mothers can also be bothersome. When these women started chattering, Evadne

couldn’t handle it.

Ah! Her head hurt so much!

During the dinner, everyone enjoyed the excellent food and Emeric’s aged wine, and the atmosphere

was as harmonious as before.

Actually, this meal was just catching up for the two big shots, nothing different from twenty years ago.

The biggest difference was that now they both had children.

And this time, Jeff came with an intention. He wanted to find wives for his two unmarried sons.

Byron was sitting across from Evadne while Avery was sitting next to her.

The dinner table was way too long and wide. Those sitting across were clearly at a disadvantage

compared to those right next to her.

Byron watched as his little bro Avery doted on Evadne, his eyes flaring with anger, his fork practically

bending under his grip.

He thought this whole operation was a bust, a total flop!

All the advantages were swiped by his dam brother Avery!

He already knew Evadne was a sucker for seafood, especially crabs and prawns. Those were her

absolute favorite.

She probably would have chowed down till sunrise if they had had enough time last time.

Avery barely ate a thing at the table, just patiently peeling shrimp for Evadne, constantly pa**ing her

food.

Everyone was low–key eyeballing them.

Evadne was having a blast, totally letting loose in front of her family and savoring the food with total

abandon.

Avery’s eyes were lowered, a smile always on his face, his elegant fingers skillfully peeling the shrimp

before gently placing the meat on Evadne’s plate.

For a rich kid like him, this behavior was definitely a bit odd.

But Avery seemed totally caught up in the process, as if no one else was there, even seeming to enjoy

it.

Evadne didn’t act shy or refuse. She just ate every tasty piece of shrimp, accepting everything he did

for her.

If they were alone, she definitely would have turned him down.

But with Jeff there, it was a different story.

A golden opportunity to expose a flaw. How could she pa** that up?

Byron saw Avery carefully wiping his fingers with a napkin after peeling each shrimp and couldn’t help

but scoff internally.

He knew his brother was a germaphobe and wouldn’t even wear clothes he’d worn once, but now, for

Evadne, he’d thrown his principles out the window.

All this just to compete with him. He really was pulling out all the stops.

“Our daughter’s getting more headstrong. Sorry for any embarra**ment, Jeff.” Emeric said awkwardly to

Jeff.

“Oh, Emeric, don’t be like that. We’re all family, nothing to be embarra**ed about! Evadne’s genuine

character reminds me so much of you when you were young, and it’s really endearing. Wish we could

welcome Evadne into the Chambers family right now as our daughter–in–law! Hahaha!”

Jeff, who had held his tongue all evening, finally revealed his purpose for the visit.

Emeric just laughed along, not picking up the topic.

At this point, Evadne finally had her fill, covering her mouth as she burped.

Avery turned his head, looking deeply at her, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.

“Wipe your hands.” He handed her a napkin from under the table.

“Mhmm, thanks.” Evadne smiled as she took it, elegantly wiping her mouth.

“Ms. Evadne, you really had a great appetite tonight,” Byron said with a friendly smile.

“Sorry, the food was too good, I just couldn’t.”

“No, Ms. Evadne, you misunderstood me, I’m not dissatisfied. I just think you’re nothing like those rich

girl I knew.”

Byron leaned forward, sincerely saying, “I really admire your authenticity. I think you’re really cute.”

Did eating a meal make her authentic? Did the women he know before not eat?

Evadne thought sarcastically but still politely replied, “Thank you for your compliment, Byron.”

“You haven’t had much to drink, and you must be thirsty. Have some red wine.”

With that, Byron stood up, intending to pour the wine for Evadne himself.

Unexpectedly, Avery chuckled lightly at this moment, “Seafood is cold in nature and should be paired

with strong alcohol or white wine. How can it possibly be paired with red wine?

Looked like Byron didn’t know this basic knowledge. He really did live up in the clouds, huh?”
