After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World novel Chapter 81

56. Confused

**, Miles.x

“So Liam. Do you have any girisister?”

Her question takes me by surprise, and I look at her, trying to evaluate. What is she thinking? Deep inside, I am too afraid to know. Have I stepped over?

“I don’t do relationships, Avery.. I hope I am clear enough on that,” I tell her, and she looks stunned.

“I’m glad we cleared that up,” she replies in a chirpy tone and I feel worse than ever. She pushes herself from the table to walk out. My urge to hold her hand and pull her back is a little too strong, I grip the chair handle tight to stop myself.

Don’t fuck it up more than you already have.

“Take your bodyguard with you. He will throw a tantrum,” I tell her to distract myself.

She leaves the room and I sit in my spot, trying to figure out if her reaction was really that bad or I imagined it?

I am a little stunned too. Does it mean she asked me to act as his fake husband because she liked me?

I lean in my chair, trying to understand it from her perspective, but feeling clueless. I spent little time with her. How could she…

A thought makes me pause. Does she know who I am? Should I come clean to her? And then what? If she admits her feelings, what will I do?

Idea of tying myself to someone, committing myself to a relationship feels like a noose around my neck. I am not ready for a relationship. I don’t think I’ll ever be. My mom’s silent tears remind me why it’s a bad idea. I don’t want to make Avery cry. I am my father’s son, after all. No matter how much I hate his guts… What if I end up doing what he did to my mom?

I am drowned in my thoughts while working, my phone vibrates, and I take a glance at the screen. There is a

notification from Raylan.

Raylan: We are coming back. Looks like her father didn’t take her side. She is upset.‘

“Fuck.” I mutter. It’s no different from what had happened two years ago when she had left her home

But after watching the news report, Avery will understand the gravity of the situation. She will not object to Raylan’s presence anymore. I just wish she would stop living at her father’s place. Best of all, if she goes back to New York. So I will stop being conflicted.

I shouldn’t have meddled with her,

Soon after, Avery walks into the room and I spin my chair to face her.

“We are going back… I have told Raylan to pack his stuff,” She declares withoragaking eye contact with me I wore

“Care to explain what happened?” I ask needlessly,

She walks towards the closet and grabs her clothes from inside.

“I am a little drunk and not in the mood to talk… so leave me alone,” she says while throwing her staff on the bed to

pack.

I get up and walk towards her.

“I saw the news.”

She sniffs.

“Great!” she says curtly.

As far as I have understood her. She is an emotional girl. I remember how she was hysterical in Las Vegas before our wedding. This is an enormous blow to her.

“What did your father say?” I ask her softly.

She doesn’t answer and keeps stuffing her clothes into the bag aggressively. I put my hand on her shoulder. She turns and snaps, “Why the hell do you care?”

I raise my hands in defense.

“Do you want to fight? If that makes you feel better, I would happily oblige… Oh wow, it rhymes.”

“It’s not funny.” She slides past me into the bath and I follow her. She splashes water on her face.

“Can’t even get drunk or fuck someone in peace,” she mutters.

I am confused by the aggression in her voice. Is she angry about what happened downstairs or is she angry about our conversation two hours ago?

or is it a deflective mechanism?

“Move!” she snaps when she tries to walk out of the bathroom, but I block her way.

“Is it because of what I said before or if it’s the news you heard just now?” I ask her and her eyes fill wi

I sigh and try to pull her into a hug, and she pushes me away.

Raylan had told me he is trying to observe some things in the resort so it would be better to stay here for at least one more night.
