Emily looked at her with a frown. She really didn't want to talk to her. One was his ex-girlfriend and the other was his current wife. There was nothing to talk about between them.
But Avery looked at her so tenderly that she couldn't bear to refuse.
After a while, he said sullenly, "Okay! Miss Lewis, come in and sit down!"
"Let's go somewhere else to talk!" Avery smiled.
Emily was going to say that she was pretentious. What happened to her store? The decoration is still very tasteful, is it not worthy of her identity?
But then she realized that she was only thinking about her. The relationship between the two of them was already very delicate. There was nothing to talk about between the two of them other than Franklin, so it was not good to be heard by acquaintances here.
Avery went to a quieter coffee shop across the street and sat down next to the window.
After Emily sat down, he thanked her and said, "Thank you."
Avery smiled clearly and said, "Miss Johnson is a smart man. Without Franklin, I think we can be good friends."
Emily smiled and said, "Why can't we be good friends with Franklin? Does Miss Lewis still miss him?"
Avery was not angry either. He chuckled and said, "Franklin and I were childhood sweethearts. We used to love each other very much, but we had to part because we had to, but it didn't affect our relationship. I know he's married to Miss Johnson now. You're husband and wife, and you're the closest people. Those feelings that we used to have slowly faded away, but we are still best friends."
Emily gritted his teeth and thought to himself that Avery was really a good character. How could she say these words so sweetly that she could not pick out the thorns?
"Miss Lewis asked me to come over and tell me this?" Asked Emily.
She was so stuffed up that she didn't want to talk to her anymore. He had no choice but to ask directly and quickly end the topic.
Avery shook his head and said, "No, I came to see Miss Johnson today, not to talk about Franklin, but about Andrew."
"Andrew? What's wrong with him?" Emily said in surprise.
"How could you be so cruel?" Avery frowned.
Emily sneered and said, "Miss Lewis, you're not right. How can you call me cruel? I don't like him, and I wish I would never see him again. Will you not be cruel to a man who harasses you? You still love him? I can't be as loving as you."
Emily's words might be too harsh to hear, making Avery frown even more displeased.
But she didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, she said quietly, "You don't know what kind of person Andrew is. I've never seen him take a person so seriously. He's always been overbearing and a little neurotic. Everyone's afraid of him. But to you, he is patient and infatuated with you. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Although Emily was disgusted by what Avery said, he really wanted to know why.
If she knew the reason, she wouldn't be able to change it.
"It was a secret, and very few people knew about it. Later on, Andrew became very rowdy and was locked up in a mental hospital by his father, so many people knew about it. His father's family and era were not allowed to have two children at that time. His grandfather had three sons, and the first born were sons. Naturally, when he came to his father, he wanted a son to inherit the family business. However, he did not expect Andrew's mother to have a daughter in the first born. His father was very unhappy and asked someone to send the girl away. He did not even register and made room for him.
Not long after, Andrew's mother was pregnant and gave birth to Andrew. But he still missed his daughter with all his heart and eyes, so he secretly picked her up and planned to raise her as an adopted daughter. But when he was six years old, Andrew's father had to send her away for some political reasons, for fear that she would be held hostage. No one expected that the girl had died in a car accident on the way out. Andrew's mother went crazy when she couldn't stand the blow. She treated Andrew well at good times and scolded him at bad times, saying that he killed his sister. Andrew has always hated women. It's the first time I've seen him treat you so well. "
