Chapter 144

“What? It’s you?” Evadne expressed in surprise.

With her freckles and messy hair, she was oddly adorably dorky.

Avery slightly curved his lips into a smile, as charming as two crescent moons, “Can’t your blind date be me?”

Evadne’s lips were sealed, a bit lost for words.

The question was rather straightforward.

Yet, the gentle humor in his gaze dissolved the awkward atmosphere, making Evadne feel like it was just a harmless joke.

“May I sit?” Avery asked politely.

“Please do,” Evadne responded coolly.

Mr. Avery who came to see her that day was just like the first time they met, dressed in a navy blue, thin–striped, high–cla** suit, wearing golden gla**es, elegant and dignified.

“Ms. Evadne, your outfit today is cute, very distinctive,” Avery squinted and said, “But, in front of me, you don’t need to pretend, just be yourself.”

Evadne coughed awkwardly. “I remember my blind date was not supposed to be you, why are you here?”

“Because I know you probably wanted to see me again. Conveniently. I felt the same way.” Avery adjusted his gla**es, smiling with ease.

His words were puzzling as if they held a deeper meaning.

“That’s right. I’ve been curious about your identity since our last encounter, so I did hope to see you again.”

Suddenly, Evadne’s sharp gaze focused on him, “Avery, Mr. Avery.”

Avery’s eyes were deep, his hands on his knees slightly trembling, he held back his excitement and said softly, “Evadne, long time no see.”

Evadne was slightly taken aback, and politely responded, “Long time no see.”

Although they did spend some childhood years together and had a pretty good time, that was more than a decade ago.

Meeting him again after such a long time, Evadne could only feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
