Chapter 623

In the moment the line connected, Avery sat up straight, his posture rigid with anticipation.

“Mr. Chambers, it must be the middle of the night back home, haven’t you gone to bed yet?”

The voice on the other end was Alexia’s!

Avery’s heart skipped a beat, surprise lacing his voice. “Ms. Alexia?”

“It’s morning here. Sir is currently visiting with the Williams and can’t take your call.”

Alexia’s tone carried a smug chuckle, “Whatever you have to say, you can tell me, and I’ll pass it along.”
