NovelEnglishChapter 255 Bryce escorted Aveline to her apartment. He exuded the innocence of youth and the charm of a grown man.
He personally opened the car door for Aveline and wrapped the newly bought scarf around her neck.
"No need, I'm not cold," Aveline said.
"This is new. Girls should pay attention to keeping warm," he explained.
"Alright, be careful on your way back. Thank you," Aveline replied.
Bryce still had a smile on his face. "The snacks tonight don't count, Aveline still owesa big meal." "You," Aveline reached out and ruffled his hair, "are still the sas when you were a kid." Back then, she promised to give him a gift, and this kid remembered it and would ask her about it every once in a while.
"Then let's make another appointment another day." "Okay." As she watched the car drive away, Aveline finally turned and entered the elevator.

She looked at the various snacks she was carrying and didn't expect that after so many years, this kid still remembered her taste.
She and Bryce becacquainted when they were young, and later he went abroad to study. The two of them would often chat on social media.
Since when did they becestranged? It was probably in the past few years, after she started dating Alexander, that her twas al given to him, and naturally, her contact with Bryce faded.
Her impression of Bryce still remained as the little boy who was afraid of cats climbing onto her family's plum tree.
Thinking of that innocent little face, Aveline's lips curled up.
There's nothing wrong with the darkness of life. The darker the night, the brighter the moon and stars.
Perhaps she should find tto go and have her stomach checked again. She was gradually gaining the belief to keep on living.
She opened the door and touched the light switch.
As she lifted her head, her smile froze on her face.
A man was sitting on the sofa, legs slightly apart, hands casually placed on the armrests, looking like a lazy master.
The ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts, indicating that he had been waiting for a long time. "Mr. Sterling, what are you doing here?" Aveline asked.
Alexander's cold eyes looked at her, his voice indifferent. "Where did you go?" He looked as if he was questioning a wife who had committed adultery.
To be honest, Aveline had long been tired of his antics. On one hand, he was busy getting engaged to Nora, and on the other hand, he wouldn't let go of her.
But she still didn't dare to confront Alexander.
"I went to visit my dad with my childhood brother," Aveline said.

She removed her makeup in the bathroom, treating him as if he were just a passerby.
Scooping up a handful of water, when she looked up, her face was clean and clear.
Aveline had a pretty and delicate face, but it lacked any hint of color, giving her a somewhat sickly complexion. Facing her reflection in the mirror, "Is there something else, Mr.
Sterling?" Alexander sneered, "Aveline, why didn't I realize before that you're so practical? When you need something from me, it's Alexander, but when there's nothing, it's Mr. Sterling."
"Mr. Sterling, I just went to the hospital with the kid, I didn't break our agreement. Why do you need to E act like you're questioning me?" "The kid? Don't forget what he wanted to do to you that night on the cruise." "At that time, he was drugged by your fiancee. Instead of blaming him, you should ask your lovely fiancee." Aveline wasn't originally angry, but when she mentioned these past events, she couldn't contain her anger. The man in front of her moved
closer, trapping her in front of the washstand, his face dark as he coldly said, "Aveline, what are your e om dissatisfied with? Although I was the one who caused the downfall of the Blackwood family, I've initiated the restructuring of the funds, Except for your father, whom I hate, his hospitalization wasn't my doing!" "I know." "You have been yearning for the island. I've spent a huge sum of money to help the people on the island improve their lives. I've also returned the Blackwood residence to you, and even those two little rascals, I held no grudges against them and have settled them well.
When you wanted to enter the company, I didn't say a word."
Alexander grabbed her shoulder. "If you don't want me, I won't touche m you. I've said that apart from the ve position of Mrs. Sterling, I can give you anything. What more do you want from me?"
