Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Avery, you're in Bridgedale now, right? Have you eaten? I'll buy you a meal." Eric was currently standing barefoot on a soft wool rug by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to her.
He had reached Bridgedale a short while ago. The moment he had free time, he thought of asking her out.
"I've already eaten. Are you here for work or on a holiday?" Avery asked.
"Holiday. I could use up to two years' worth of holidays. I could have at least two months off." Eric chuckled happily. "I initially did not want to cover, but, since you're here, I did." "But I'm busy," Avery said truthfully. "I'm sure you've heard about Elliot's incident?" "Hmm... I've heard about it. I even asked doctors that I'm close to about it. They toldthat Elliot's incident is absurd. It's so absurd, they could hire playwrights to write it into a film." Avery could not help but smile. "It is indeed quite absurd, but that special device is indeed in Elliot's head. It could cause him unbearable pain." "Can't you take it out?" Eric asked suspiciously. "If it was me, I would surely not accept being controlled by others like that." "Eric, don't say this in front of Elliot. His thoughts are the sas yours. I was the one who begged him to hold on." I won't say this in front of him. I wouldn't dare lose my temper at him in the future. What if something were to happen if he got angry at me? You would surely not forgive me." "Not only would I not forgive you, but Layla wouldn't either. But you and Elliot don't have much chance of meeting each other. He is back in Aryadelle." Avery looked at the bright sun outside. However, thinking of what Sebastian had said, her brows subconsciously furrowed tightly.

Eric understood the relationship between Avery and Elliot all too well. "Actually, I'm here in Bridgedale this tinge because I'm being forced to get married." "What? By your parents?" "They have introduced a girl to me. This incident is as absurd as the device in Elliot's head. They got to know this girl from snew friend that they've barely known for a month. Their friend said that he had a relative who was extremely obedient and great. He even showed my parents her photo. My parents saw the photo and they felt that she fits their illusion of a great daughter-in-law, so they're forcingto go on a date with her." Avery was stunned.
"That person is in Bridgedale?" "Yes!" Eric was feeling troubled. "I won't go and see her!" "I think, since your parents like that girl, that means that she must be quite pretty Go and meet her! What if you two are a match?" Avery advised. "Or maybe you two could find a different way of contacting each other. Chat online first. Once you two get along online, you could meet each other. "I've added her on social media. You wouldn't guess that the person my parents introducedto is a buff man with eightpack abs." "What happened? Why did your parents...?" "My parents thought that he was a girl because the person that introduced the girl to them said that he was a girl. I told my parents that he was a guy, but they refused to believe me." Eric was troubled by the absurdity of this issue.
"How do you know that this person is a guy? You two haven't met yet, right?" Avery was confused.
"His profile picture is a guy with eightpack abs. His nis a guy's ntoo." Avery said, "Eric, a profile picture doesn't mean that it's the person's true identity! Since the person who introduced her to your parents said that she's a girl, I don't think there's a mistake."
