When His Eyes Opened

Chapter 978

"Good news? You not driving me to my death is good news enough for me,"

Cole teased with a cold chuckle.

Avery stayed silent for a few seconds, then hit him right where it would hurt and said, "Are you that spineless? If your uncle was the one asking you out, would you be so scared that you would lose your soul?"

"Avery Tate! Why are you provoking me? I've already lost everything.Why are you still looking for me? I don't want to know about you and my uncle, nor do I care.Even if you get married one day, it would have nothing to do with me! My uncle would never invite me to the wedding!"

Avery waited for him to finish speaking, then calmly said, "Your uncle and I are actually getting married.I'm the one who gets to decide if you're invited or not.Your uncle will listen to me."

Cole was stunned.

"Come out and meet me, Cole.There are some things I'd like to talk to you about face-to-face."

Avery used Elliot as bait to get Cole to meet her.

"Your uncle isn't as heartless as you think.Meet me, and we'll talk it out."

Cole felt relieved and agreed to meet.

The two met at a cafe about forty minutes later.

Once they sat down at a table by the window, Avery ordered a latte.
