Chapter 586 I Won’t Leave Him First (1/2)
Her eyes starting to swell and flush red, Avery felt a surge of astonishment as she looked at Moore. She couldn't believe her ears and eyes at the feeling that Moore seemed to finally show care for her.
The atmosphere in the car seemed to have solidified at the moment. Moore noticed and turned to Avery and then to everyone around him. His eyebrows furrowed into confusion and asked, ”What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me that way?”
Jean nodded at him and shook her head with a smile. ”Well, we just want to agree with you. You are right, Moore.” Without waiting for Moore's response, she turned to Avery and apologized, ”If things didn't happen as I expected, you would suffer from that in the end, so I should probably apologize. But don't worry, I'll take responsibility whatever happens.”
Avery shook her head at Jean and said, ”Jean, don't say it like that. I know you did that for my own good, and no matter what happens, I won't blame you for it.” She gave Jean a reassuring and sincere smile.
Jean's eyes lit up once more in response. ”Really?” She was delighted as she heard Avery's intention. ”I haven't met anyone, who supports me this much. You are the first one, Avery.” Jean placed her hands on her chest. ”Wow, it feels amazing to be trusted by my idol!”
As if on cue, Zed and Moore exchanged a glance, giving each other a bitter smile and shaking their heads as they looked away.
It was funny how both of them thought of the same thing that Jean would be more stubborn and difficult to argue with now that she had Avery's support.
Jean noticed their exchange but ignored them and turned her attention back to Avery. She placed both her hands on her lap and said, ”Then again, I didn't expect that Albert would have given Adolf away in the end. He is so unpredictable and cunning.” She paused as she hesitated whether or not to ask the question, but she couldn't help it, so she shook her reluctance away and asked, ”Avery, were you aware about all these? If there was anything wrong with Adolf's feelings for you throughout these years?”
Shaking her head, Avery gave Jean a bitter smile before answering, ”I really have no idea. Besides, Adolf is pretty private and secretive. He usually keeps his thoughts to himself even when I ask. Plus, he has always treated me harshly and strictly when it comes to work. To be honest, until now, I still can't decide whether or not it's true.”
”If you ask me, I think it's definitely true. Don't forget that you are so beautiful and charming inside and out, and that you have a lot of admirers. If there's anyone in this world who doesn't like you, then I'm pretty certain that he must be blind,” Jean replied and subtly looked at Moore. She was referring to him, because he was Avery's crush and yet he claimed to not feel the same way about Avery.
Understanding immediately who Jean referred to, Avery gave her a look, reminding her silently that her words would embarrass Moore.
However, Moore didn't seem to have heard or if he did, looked affected by Jean's words as he was checking his cellphone.
