The next morning. Evadne was still in a daze, barely awake.

Suddenly, she bolted upright in bed, her eyes wide open!

The room was a blend of black, white, and grey. The air was filled with an aroma that seemed to calm her nerves and relax her body. “A man’s room, Avery?”

The realization hit her like a sucker punch, causing a sharp pain in her head.

She remembered arguing with Thaddeus last night, but everything else was a blur, like missing scenes from a drunken night.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she quickly got up and left the room.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Avery was dressed in a pristine white shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, preparing breakfast for Evadne

The warm morning sunlight filtered through the window, casting a soft glow on his handsome face, making him look like a beautifully colored painting.

He often cooked without wearing an apricot.

He never wore the same suit twice

“Mr. Avery

Upon hearing Evadne’s cold voice, Avery looked up, his eyes filled with warmth, “Good morning, Evadne How do you feel?”

“Mr. Avery, last night?”

“Evadne, we agreed, didn’t we? Call me Ave”

Avery’s voice was tinged with mild annoyance, his hands never ceased their work, “You fainted in my house last night due to low blood sugar and emotional stress. Don’t worry, I didn’t touch you while you were sleeping in my room.”

“I know” Evadne massaged her temples, exhausted. She was no innocent girl

She wasn’t sure about the low blood sugar, but she did remember feeling terrible last night Memories she’d rather forget still haunted her, causing an unbearable pain with the slightest touch.

She hadn’t expected such a violent reaction, enough to make her faint.
