The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 227

Nicole could always sense that Zachary treated Avery differently. She was surprised that Avery could be so silly that she didn't feel anything.

"Nicole is very perceptive. But I haven’t yet told you that I've already planned to skip the formal engagement party and get married directly."

Zachary's tone was flat and it seemed that he had prepared what to say for a long time. However, his words were like a blow to Avery. She opened her eyes wide in astonishment.

"What did you say? Zachary, look at what you're doing. You didn't even ask my consent for the engagement. Now you want to get married without asking for my opinion? What do you think I am?"

Avery couldn't help but be angry. Did Zachary not take her seriously as an adult human being? Didn't she have the right to consider her own happiness? It was not fair to her at all.

When Nicole saw how angry Avery was, she took Avery by the arm and said, "Let me talk with you about this later."

She knew that Zachary wasn't inclined to rush things, so he must have had a plan in his mind. Marriage, after all, was important to Avery. She didn't believe that Zachary wanted to make things difficult for Avery.

After Nicole's intervention, Avery kept her face turned away from Zachary, and her good mood was completely crushed. She leaned on the back seat with her arms folded at her chest, and looked out of the window.

Zachary's face darkened when he glanced at Avery through the rear-view mirror and saw the displeasure on her face.

A feeling of embarrassment fell upon Nicole. Fortunately, Zachary stopped his car soon thereafter, so she opened the door and got out of the car. She breathed the fresh air outside in relief.

Such a scene, she felt, was really unsuitable for a pregnant woman.

After they went into a beauty salon, Avery held Nicole‘s hand and seated her at a chair. The employee who had been waiting in the shop took Nicole to the locker room straightaway.

"Hey, hey, Avery, what on earth are you up to?" Nicole looked at Avery with a bewildered feeling as the employee led her to the locker room.

"Don't worry. I'll be here waiting for you," Avery assured Nicole, turning around to sit on the sofa. She grabbed a magazine on the table and started reading it.

She sensed someone approaching her, but she didn't raise her head. She knew that it must be Zachary.

She turned her face away deliberately. She didn't want to see Zachary at all.

"Don't you want to marry me?" Zachary bent down and put his hand on the armrest of the sofa to encircle Avery with his arms.

Avery turned around and met Zachary's affectionate eyes. She hesitated, but she didn't have the heart to refuse him.

Just as she was hesitating, Nicole came back from the locker room.

When Avery heard the noise, she pushed Zachary away instinctively and went to Nicole, feeling guilty. "You are so beautiful, Nicole!"

Standing in front of the mirror, Nicole looked at the white dress on her body. There were diamonds from the waist to the bottom hem. She was dazzling.
