NovelAppAvery saw the way Angela's look darkened and how her eyes glittered viciously as though she was going to chase Avery out any second now.
"Ms. Hills, I'm only asking because I went to see Bobby yesterday," Avery blurted out." He hated my guts from the moment he sawand askedto leave after a brief exchange." "Humans tend to experience drastic changes in personality after a traumatic experience like that. I heard from his father that Bobby used to be more mature than Sebastian. It's a shthat he has turned out like this," Angela said. "I did consider treating him myself, but I'm afraid that I'm not capable of it." Avery gave her a confused look.
"My hands... They started shaking uncontrollably two years ago... It started as a shiver from tto tand didn't cause much damage. But maybe I've exhausted myself lately so the shaking has gotten worse. You are still young and probably won't understand what it's like for older people like us to wake up one day to find out yet another part of our bodies has issues." Angela lifted her arm and glanced at it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that something happened to your hands," Avery said ruefully. "I am here only to visit you. As for Bobby, I've already agreed to treat him and I won't go back on my own words." "You are here to visit me? More like to confront me, right?" Angela's eyebrows shot up. "Dean chyesterday askingif I had slapped you... You sure hold a grudge! If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten all about it.' "Ms. Hills, if I hold a grudge against you over a slap to the face, I would have sought revenge on you long ago, why should I wait until now?" Avery drawled calmly." Professor Hough had nothing but great things to say whenever he used to talk about you, so naturally, I won't hold such a small grudge against you." Angela's expression darkened further at the mention of 'Professor Hough'. "Stop mentioning his nover and over again in front of me!" "Professor Hough might be dead, but he still lives in my heart." "He is nothing but a playboy! You respect him so much simply because you have no idea what he's really like." Angela glanced at the diamond ring on her right ring finger. "He accepted my confession of love for him in the past Avery froze. "Are you serious?" Why wouldn't he see me, then? It's ›ecause he didn't dare to face me!" Angela grew increasingly agitated. I've always been acting honorably and would never cling onto someone if they did if treasure my companionship, but James. He wedan explanation and efused to givethat until the end t's not horrible ofto call him a ›layboy now, is it?!" Content belongs o english"If what you are saying is true, then Professor Hough must have had his reasons for doing so." Avery refused to believe her mentor to be a playboy. She had respected him since she first met him until the day he died.
"Even if that's true, it doesn't change the fact that he hurt me! All I wanted was an explanation, but he deniedthat and refused to clarify with the others as well. Everyone thought that I was stalking him! He might be I the most righteous man anyone has ever known, but to me, he will forever be remembered as a playboy who toyed with my feelings!" "Ms. Hills, Professor Hough died from illness and maybe if his death wasn't so unexpected, he would have explained things to you-" "Avery Tate, you are just as disgusting as your professor!" Angela's lips curled into a sarcastic sneer. "I am willing to engage in small talk with you if you stop mentioning him, but say his nin front ofagain and I will have the bodyguards throw you out of here!" Seeing how flushed and enraged Angela was, Avery stood from the couch and stormed off.
Once Avery was gone, Dean cdownstairs.
"Angela, what made you so angry this morning, hm?" Angela stood from the couch and said in a sweet voice, "Who else has the courage to be so rude tobut Avery Tate? We should have just killed her back in the basement. Who would have thought that she was lucky enough to get out of there?" Dean approached Angela and wrapped his arm around her waist. "She only survived because she is lucky enough to have such a brilliant son. I respect her for that." "Hayden Tate is brilliant, indeed, but he's so mysterious that I don't even know What he looks like."
