Chapter 571 Is That Fair (2/2)

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

and painful.

He didn't want to do anything against his will. And he also didn't want to hurt Jean and Avery.

When he was still struggling with it, there was a loud knock on his door. Avery anxiously cried, ”Moore, are you there? Jean's foot is still hurting, so it is really hard for her to go downstairs. Can you help her?”

Moore quickly calmed his face before opening the door. Looking at Avery, he frowned and asked, ”She was okay just now, wasn't she?”

”Yes, but only for the flat road. As for the stairs, she can't manage it by herself,” Avery explained to Moore, forcing a smile.

”Well, I got it. Let's go.” Moore sighed, turning around for the outside.

After hearing Moore's answer, Avery looked delighted.

Jean's plan worked. 'She is a very smart and kindhearted girl, ' thought Avery.

When Avery was still lost in her admiration for Jean, Moore suddenly turned back. So he saw Avery's smiling face.

He was dazed for a moment with a complicated look on his face. Then he looked at Avery but didn't say anything.

”What do you want to say?” Avery was an excellent actress. She quickly calmed her face and asked Moore.

She was perfectly composed and made it as if the person standing there with a smug look on her face just a minute ago was someone else.

”Nothing.” And then Moore looked deep into Avery's eyes. The look on his face became colder than before the moment when he had turned back.

Moore murmured in his mind, 'This looks like another one of Jean and Avery's clever plans.'
