Avery saw that the man who was standing outside the door was Dylan.
It showed that Dylan had returned to the theater to look for her in the VIP section and could not find
her.
Therefore, Dylan must have come all the way to look for her out of anger.
As her rightful husband, he had to witness his legal wife “cheating” with another man right under his
eyes. Yet, he had missed the best opportunity to catch them in the act.
At that moment, Dylan must have felt lousy. Even though the two of them had no feelings for one
another, he still felt that the kiss from Cayden was an act of infidelity.
On the other hand, Avery did not see anything wrong with her seeing the dad of her children.
“Ery, is he your friend?” asked Nina awkwardly as she stood by the door. Judging from the way Dylan
looked at Avery, Nina could tell that Avery knew the man.
Avery did not answer her friend's question.
Then, a thought crossed Nina's mind. I know each and every one of Avery's friends within the country. I
also know her new colleagues.
But, I have never seen this man before.
There's only one possibility. Avery must have met this man when she was studying abroad. Now that
both of them are back in the country, they still keep in touch.
However, judging from Dylan's expression, Nina had a bad feeling. She doubted that he was only
Avery's friend.
Nina asked, “D-Do you want to come in and take a seat?”
However, Dylan ignored Nina who was blocking his way. His murderous gaze was fixated on the pair of
white shoes lying on the shoe rack.
The amorous scene that took place in the VIP section of the theater started playing in his mind again.
“Come in. I have something to talk to you too,” said Avery coldly before going into the kitchen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she came out, she placed two glasses of water on the coffee table.
Nina walked away from the door now that Dylan had come in. She noticed that he was tall and had a
pleasant aura.
However, compared to Cayden, Dylan still lacked a certain air of elegance that those from high society
carried. Instead, there was a hint of wildness in him.
The suit on him looked like a piece of sheep skin covering the body of a wolf.
“Let me get you a pair of slippers.” With that, Nina helped to look for a pair from the shoe cabinet.
After changing into the more comfortable footwear, Dylan frowned when he noticed the size of the
slippers.
Nina had no idea who Dylan was, so she explained kindly, “They belong to Ery's grandpa. You may use
them for the time being.”
Hearing that the footwear belonged to Avery's grandpa, Dylan didn't mind wearing them.
The three of them stood in the living room in awkward silence.
Nina noticed that and felt they needed some privacy. Therefore, she told Avery, “I'm going to use the
Internet in the bedroom. Call me if you need anything.”
Avery acknowledged with a nod.
Avery only allowed Dylan to enter the house with Nina around. Otherwise, she would not dare to meet
someone who held no regard for the law on her own.
Honestly, if Nina had checked the peephole and Avery found out who the visitor was, Avery would have
never let her open the door in the first place.
No matter how many times Dylan rang the doorbell, she would not open the door.
Now that there were only two of them left in the living room, Dylan did not sit down. Instead, he walked
toward the shoe cabinet and took out the pair of white shoes.
After looking at them again and again, he held the shoes in his left hand and walked toward the
kitchen.
“What are you trying to do with my shoes? Put them down.” With no clue what he was trying to do,
Avery went after him.
Before she knew it, Dylan had already lit the stove and threw the pair of white shoes into the fire.
Avery wanted to save the shoes, but she was unable to fight against the powerful Dylan. In the end,
she still did not manage to get her shoes back despite using all her might to get past him.
Amidst their struggle, Avery ripped off one of Dylan's buttons. At the same time, her shoes were
completely burned.
Avery told him off in disbelief, “You are insane! You should go to the hospital and get yourself treated.”
Obviously, Nina was not using the Internet. That man looks frightening. What if he does something to
Avery?
As her best friend, she had to be on guard!
The moment she heard Avery's angry lashing, Nina ran out of the bedroom immediately. When she
saw no one in the living room, she quickly ran to the kitchen.
After realizing what had happened, Nina turned off the stove and saw the state of the shoes. She had
no choice but to pour some water over them.
Finally, the fire had been put out.
However, there was still a burnt stench all over the kitchen.
After opening up the window to air the kitchen, Nina turned and eyed Dylan in fear. D*mn it! Is this man
a moron?
“Looks like I have overestimated your character. I actually believed that we can have a decent
conversation.” Avery was so furious that she felt like slapping herself.
Dylan approached her in an intimidating and scary manner.
Nina, who was standing by the window, strode over and stood in front of Avery. She looked up at Dylan
fiercely. “Don't do anything stupid. We live in a law-abiding society. How can you behave like this? You
just burned a pair of shoes that cost over six thousand. Are you nuts? Not only do you have to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmapologize to Ery, but you also have to compensate her for those shoes!”
Dylan was not listening to what Nina was saying.
Instead, he glared at Avery with a glint of danger in his eyes and warned her, “You'd better behave
yourself as my wife. If not, you will regret it!”
“That's all you know? Are you planning to kidnap my grandpa and use him to threaten me again? I
have to marry you because of that. What's next? Do I have to sleep with you or maybe even bear a
child for you?” Avery felt that she had every right as a human not to be controlled by anyone else as if
she was inferior.
Unfortunately, she could not afford to antagonize someone like Dylan who had been to prison.
Avery felt like risking her life so that she could make someone fearful of her for once instead of the
other way around.
In the past, she had her father and grandpa to worry about. Now, she had Zachary and Rory.
There was no way she could take a gamble like that.
Nina, who was smacked right in between the two of them, felt a little lost.
She then recalled Cecelia telling her that Avery got married. That was when Nina had a grasp of the
situation. So, this man kidnapped Blake and use him to threaten Avery?
“Were you the one who hurt Ery's grandpa? You scumbag! Her grandpa is already so old. Don't you
have parents and grandpa?” Nina had no idea what kind of psychopath Avery had met.
Dylan, on the other hand, was very calm and rational. Not wanting to allow others to have any dirt on
him, he took out his phone instead and started recording. “Go on. Repeat what you have just said.”
“Why? Do you think I'm afraid of you? I will say it again!” With that, Nina repeated herself.
After recording what Nina had said, Dylan kept his phone.
Avery spoke firmly. “Don't get others into any trouble because of our affairs. I will find a lawyer to deal
with our divorce.”
In truth, she had no idea what kind of person Dylan truly was. Although she was aware that he was
despicable, she understood that was only one side of him. Avery was not sure how far he would go.
