The old woman saw Irene crying. She could not bear to watch.
"Then, eat up first. After your meal, I'll take you around the neighborhood to walk. Irene. It is a thousand times better here. You will surely like living in the city," the old woman said. "Rose is lucky, too! She has been adopted by Avery Tate. She won't have to worry in the future." "Grandma, didn't you say that Aunt Avery is a bad person? Since she is a bad person, why do you say that Rose will have a good life?" "A bad person might not treat everyone badly. She might treat Rose well." "Then how do you know that she will treat Rose well? What if she bullies Rose? Unless she isn't as bad as you say," Irene said logically.
Ever since leaving the chapel, she had been thinking about Avery and Rose.

Of course, Irene was still young. She could not express the feelings in her heart.
"Even if she bullies Rose, there is nothing that we can do. Irene, you just take care of yourself," the old woman said, sighing as she scooped out svegetables for her.
"Grandma, I want to give Rose a call. I know I shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs, but Rose is my best friend. I want to know if she is doing well after leaving the chapel." Irene looked at the old woman pleadingly. "I know Aunt Avery's number. Grandma, can you call Aunt Avery and ask about Rose?" "Irene, have you been ignoring what I said?" The old lady did not want to have anything to do with Avery, much less call her.
"No... I just want to know how Rose is doing. If she is doing well, I will never call Aunt Avery again." At that, tears fell from Irene's eyes.
"Okay, stop crying. There is nothing to cry about. I'll find a way to call Avery later. Giveher phone number." She reached her hand out.
Irene immediately got down from the chair, ran to her room, and found her bag. She took out the slip of paper with Avery's number written on it from the bag's pocket. S In Elliot's mansion, Avery was resting at hbut was not idling about.
At lunch, she had been on a video call with Shea, wanting to see what the children were doing. When she saw that they were getting along well, she was relieved. S Perhaps because she had slept earlier than usual the night before, she could not nap that afternoon.

A long tlater, the study door was pushed open.
Elliot had her phone and was walking toward her.
"Avery, your phone rang. It's a foreign number." Elliot had been sleeping soundly when he had been woken up by Avery's ringing phone.
She had forgotten to take her phone with her when she had left the bedroom.
"Did it wake you up?" Avery asked, taking her phone from him. She looked at the missed call.
The number was from a neighboring city.
ret "I was indeed woken up, but the scarier part was waking up to find you not next to me." Elliot was so frightened that he had broken out in cold sweat. Luckily, he had soon found her.
