Chapter 78
Avery disapproved of Lucy staying in Valemont City. Valemont City was too chaotic, so it was not suitable for Lucy to recuperate.
"No." Alexander smiled. "I’ll send her away tomorrow morning. I definitely won’t let the Moran family find her."
Avery felt that Alexander was indeed very smart. "I also think that is better for your sister."
Silence fell again. Avery pursed her lips and puffed up her cheeks. The feeling of wanting to tell Alexander about many things but not knowing what to say rose in her again. She felt a little uncomfortable holding them in.
A few seconds later, Alexander’s low voice sounded. "Miss Carter, thanks for what happened tonight."
Before Avery could answer, he added, "It’s my honor to meet you. I need to go now. Good night."
With that, he hung up. Avery reminisced about Alexander’s low and magnetic voice. It felt like a breeze on a summer night. It crept in through the gap in the curtains and surrounded her, caressing her gently. It made her tingle with sweetness and contentment.
After the call, Alexander returned to his usual indifference. He walked back to the entrance of the building and looked at the black car that was slowly approaching. The black car stopped in front of him. A tall woman with long black hair, a white dress, and a mask got out. She grabbed his sleeve and followed him into the building.
The door of the building closed. The tall, slender woman never left. This scene was seen by the people watching Alexander secretly.
On the other side, Avery waited for her heart to calm down. She walked out of the room and glanced at the room diagonally opposite. It was almost 10:30 pm. She wondered why Maria wasn’t back yet. After some thought, Avery called Maria.
The background noise on Maria’s side was very lively. It sounded like she was at a diner.
