Chapter 380: High-Profile Etiquette (1)
Nelson put his hand on Bernard’s shoulder, "What are you looking at? People thought you had a thing for Avery before, and I didn’t believe it. But now it seems like there’s some truth to it. Look at your eyes just now, as if you wanted to rush in and drag her out."
Of course, Nelson whispered this in Bernard’s ear. He dared not say it in front of everyone. The beautiful women present were all Bernard’s fans. If he were careless, he could be in big trouble.
Back when Avery hadn’t left their second hospital, her closeness to Bernard made her a thorn in the side of his fans. Now that she had finally escaped, if Nelson didn’t watch his words, he might cause her some trouble again.
Bernard turned his face and stared at Nelson fiercely. It was his fault for talking nonsense.
"Alright, alright. I said the wrong thing, little brother. Let’s go – everyone’s waiting for you." Nelson backed down, quickly making a smiling face to please him.
Only then did Bernard go over. However, having met Avery and listened to the recording his mother played for him, he no longer had the enthusiasm to deal with everyone else.
After dinner, there was karaoke planned. Bernard didn’t go, making up an excuse. Instead, he handed Nelson a stack of money, saying that he’d pay for tonight’s expenses before heading off in a taxi, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Inside the house, Avery was completely unaffected by Bernard and was chatting happily with Kent Auclair.
