It was the sound of high heels stepping on the cobblestone. The frequency of Avery's heartbeat followed the footsteps.

The man around her didn't have any reaction at all.

Avery broke the man's finger hard. Did Evan not react on purpose?

"Get up. I know you pretend that you are asleep!"

Avery had promised that she would send Evan to Maeve's side, but now she was sleeping with him.

Although she had never thought of giving up her man to other women, she had to endure everything before her baby was cured.

After all, this was not the time for an arms race, and force could not solve the problem at all.

Even if they got white worms, they needed trainers to train them; otherwise, army ants would nibble them.

Moreover, it was obviously more effective for Evan to persuade Maeve to cure the baby.

The man opened one of his eyes and used his finger to touch his lips, "Unlock them."

"Don't be naive."

Though Avery thought so, she bowed her head and kissed his lips, which were warm and soft. Evan took a deep breath and held her as if to rub her into his body.

Avery kissed him, but she felt that she was going to be soft all over.

The only remaining reason forced her to pull them apart, "Get up and hide?"

The woman was always proud, but she acted like a spoiled child this time.

They became nervous because of Maeve, who acted as if she were the real girlfriend of Evan.

Evan was very upset and refused, "No. I don't want to do that."

"You agreed to cooperate with me?" Avery started tugging at his clothes. Did he regret it now?

If so, her plans would be disrupted.

Looking at her anxious look, Evan suddenly frowned, "You are so eager to push me to her?"

He had a feeling that he was like unsalable goods.

The seller was afraid that he couldn't be sold and forced to push him to the buyer.

"I did this to cure the little baby quickly, and then we can go back."

Evan stared straight at her as if to see her in the soul.

After a long time, he finally sat up from the bed.

A knock sounded at the same time. Apparently, it was too late.

Avery pressed him back, "Forget it. You lie down."

Evan, "..."

Avery put on her shoes and went to open the door.

She looked at Maeve through a slit and stopped her.

"Why don't you come out to meet me?" It was so hot that Maeve held a fan of peacock feathers in her hand, fanning it up and down and trying to look into the room from time to time.

The woman's haughty tone forced Avery to smile uncontrollably with a sneer, "If you want to invite me to dinner, you could let a servant call me."

"I want you to feel my sincerity." As Maeve spoke, she held the door lock and was ready to open it.

Avery blocked the door with her body, "I have felt your sincerity."

Was Avery asking her to leave?

"Don't forget what you promised me. It will be the festival of white worms in our country in a week, and I hope Mr. Lautner will propose to me in public that day."

Avery knew that white worms were regarded as the treasure of the country. People took the last week of spring every year as the festival of the worms, so as to express their importance.

"I also hope that you will not forget about the little baby."

"Of course, but I'll go into the room to have a look." As Maeve spoke, she looked into the house.

"What are you looking at?"

"Someone tipped me off that Mr. Lautner is here. Since we have an agreement, I certainly hope that you can keep the promise. If I find that there is still a personal affair between you and Mr. Lautner, I will punish you. In our country, cheating women are to be caged and thrown into the river."

Avery clenched her fists and remained calm, "I will remember your reminder, and I will go with you after changing my clothes."

A burst of fierce force has been pushed to Avery. Maeve pushed her, opened the door, and walked in.

Avery couldn't stop her, for she had rushed into the bedroom. Maeve looked at the large European-shaped bed.

The white quilt was spread out at random on the bed. It seemed that Avery had no time to tidy up her bed.

There was no one.

Avery followed her. When Avery saw the empty bed, she was instantly relieved.

She had been afraid Evan would not cooperate with her. After all, Evan didn't like to sneak around.

She believed that if he really decided to fight, it was not impossible to win Maeve, but the problem of the white worms would become even more intractable.

Maeve was disappointed. She went to the window and opened the curtain.

Avery raised her eyebrows gently, and she was curious where Evan would hide.

Maeve changed from surprise to disapproval, so she turned and began to walk to the bathroom.

Avery darkened her face. If Maeve went to the bathroom, she would find Evan there.

Maeve's high heels stepped on the dark wool carpet, making a dull sound.

But this kind of sound made Avery inexplicably irritated, so she said, "Maeve if there is nothing else, I'll go to the bathroom first."

Maeve smiled, quickened her speed, and laid her hand on the doorknob.

Avery's heart seemed to stop for a while, as if her heart were about to jump out of her throat.

Just then, the phone rang.

Avery lowered her head down to look for the phone, but Maeve answered the phone.

It turned out to be Maeve's phone.

Probably, it was a very important phone call. Maeve turned nervous and looked at her as if to temporarily let her go. Then she put the phone on the ear quickly and walked out.

Avery felt her legs were soft, but she walked to the bathroom and opened the door.

A cool breeze came. The bathroom was like a black hole to attract her in. Her wrist felt pain, and she was pressed on the door board.
