Chapter 295

The dinner was a jovial affair, filled with laughter.

Avery had initially planned to open a bottle of his top–shelf red wine, but Mrs. Chambers insisted on Evadne drinking only juice, so Evadne spent the whole evening sipping on orange juice, grape juice, pineapple juice, and so on. It was enough to start her own fruit orchard

After dinner, Cindy escorted Mrs. Chambers away, creating an opportunity for Avery and his beloved to have some private time

Avery took Evadne on a tour of his mansion, showing off his collection of antique artifacts and paintings. There were paintings from the ancient times, and a vase from the royal family.

Each of these treasures could fetch exorbitant prices at auction!

Evadne stond at the table, leaning over the antique paintings with a magnifying glass, her almond eyes sparkling with appreciation.

“Do you like them? If you do, I can pack them up for you to take home,” Avery said, leaning against the bedpost, smiling at her.

She admired the paintings

He admired her

“Pack them up? You should know that each of these items are worth at least several million dollars, and they’re all authentic. Even ancient emperors would hesitate to give them away, and you want me to take all of them?”

Evadne straightened up, playfully looking at Avery through the magnifying glass, winking, “Are you a collector of antiques, or just a dealer? If you were truly an enthusiast, you’d be like Emeric. He wouldn’t even let anyone touch his collection, much less give them away”

Avery’s lips curled into a smile, his voice soft and enticing. I’m only generous with two people, you and Mr. Emeric”

Evadne’s heart fluttered, her lips parting slightly

Avery and Thad were completely different. One spouted sweet nothings, while the other could hardly say a nice word, even with a gun to his head.

“Emeric is quite greedy. If he knew you had such treasures and were so generous, he wouldn’t rest until he took everything”

“If Mr. Emeric likes it, he can have it. The only things I, Avery, have that can catch Mr. Emeric’s eye are these items, and I don’t mind giving them away,” Avery said sincerely “What about you? What do you want? Apart from getting a piece of the Chambers family’s pie, Evadne asked, her voice filled with implication,

Avery’s eyes were full of tenderness, his heart silently saying the word “you.”

“It’s snowing. Evadne,” he said out loud instead.

“Really?”

Evadne was thrilled, her eyes full of excitement, shining like the stars.

She adored snowy days. When she was a child, her mother used to hold her in the backyard to watch the snow, guiding her little hand to skate on the ice. “Let’s go see the snow”

Avery led Evadne to the balcony. As soon as the door opened, she was captivated by the beautiful scenery.

The snowflakes fell all around, as if someone was tearing up cotton and flinging it into the air.

“It’s so beautiful!” Evadne exclaimed, looking up at the night sky.

Avery quickly took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, bundling her up. His voice was so tender, it was almost unrecognizable, “The snow is beautiful, but it’s not good if you catch a cold.”
