Chapter 194
Avery stopped talking about Maggie’s case and asked one last question, "Do you hate Nicolas?"
She felt that Alexander would be filled with hatred.
After all, Alexander had never acknowledged Nicolas as his dad or father in front of Avery.
Alexander did not answer the question directly. Instead, he revealed a cold and slightly strange smile and said, "Everyone has to pay the price for their actions. He is no exception."
Then, Alexander gently put down Avery’s hand, poured a glass of milk for her, and changed the topic. He asked, "How have the past few days been for you since you returned?"
He did not ask Avery what she had been busy with for the past month. If Avery didn’t wish to speak about it, Alexander wouldn’t pry into it.
Avery tilted her head slightly and revealed a happy smile. She said, "I was being followed. The person following me is my brother, Brandon."
She briefly explained how she had reunited with Brandon but did not mention that Brandon had been bedridden and was currently working in food delivery service. She said that he needed time to sort out his feelings and wanted to travel for a few days before returning home.
When Alexander heard this, he began to think about how he could help move things along.
It was said that Brandon was the smartest, most ambitious, and success-hungry of the five Carter brothers, which made Alexander’s expectations of Brandon high.
Alexander tried to put himself in Avery’s shoes. He thought, What does she expect of him?
