The Reunion After Seven Years

"Nicole, where have you been? I tried calling you many times, but your phone was off." Avery sounded as if she had been wronged.

A faint smile appeared on Nicole's face. She felt a bit guilty as she thought of what she had done. "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? You are going to be a bride, aren't you?"

She really hoped that Avery would be happy. She knew that Zachary could make Avery happy, and that was why she took the risk.

On the other side of the line, Avery was silent.

Nicole immediately noticed that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but worry if she had gone too far. After all, Avery had never been intimate with other men, and this kind of thing could be a big blow to her.

"Avery, are you mad at me? I really think that Zachary is a good choice for you, so I want to help you guys out. I'm sorry. I know that I might have crossed the line..."

She was worried about Avery, and she was afraid that Avery would really get angry at her.

"Nicole, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Avery was puzzled. She didn't know why Nicole was suddenly apologizing to her.

What Avery was going to tell Nicole had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Hearing what she said, Nicole was confused as well. "Then what happened to you? Aren't you going to get married tomorrow? I still wanted to tell you that Kerr has taken me to D Island, and I might not be able to go back," she said.

She was going to miss her best friend's wedding, and she felt terribly regretful.

"There is no wedding. That's what I wanted to tell you. Zachary called it off. I won't have to marry him." Avery knew she should be happy, but she wasn't.
