The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 265

"Nicole, where have you been? I tried calling you many times, but your phone was off." Avery sounded as if she had been wronged.

A faint smile appeared on Nicole's face. She felt a bit guilty as she thought of what she had done. "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? You are going to be a bride, aren't you?"

She really hoped that Avery would be happy. She knew that Zachary could make Avery happy, and that was why she took the risk.

On the other side of the line, Avery was silent.

Nicole immediately noticed that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but worry if she had gone too far. After all, Avery had never been intimate with other men, and this kind of thing could be a big blow to her.

"Avery, are you mad at me? I really think that Zachary is a good choice for you, so I want to help you guys out. I'm sorry. I know that I might have crossed the line..."

She was worried about Avery, and she was afraid that Avery would really get angry at her.

"Nicole, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Avery was puzzled. She didn't know why Nicole was suddenly apologizing to her.

What Avery was going to tell Nicole had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Hearing what she said, Nicole was confused as well. "Then what happened to you? Aren't you going to get married tomorrow? I still wanted to tell you that Kerr has taken me to D Island, and I might not be able to go back," she said.

She was going to miss her best friend's wedding, and she felt terribly regretful.

"There is no wedding. That's what I wanted to tell you. Zachary called it off. I won't have to marry him." Avery knew she should be happy, but she wasn't.

The moment she found out that Zachary had gone abroad, she had no idea why she didn't feel relieved at all.

"How could that be? That night, didn't you two..." Nicole came back to her senses before she could say anything else.

Avery was confused. "Nicole, what did you do behind my back? Or is there something you are hiding from me?" Avery thought of Zachary's reaction that night.

It was obvious that something was wrong. Besides, it didn't seem like a coincidence that Nicole and Kerr had to leave at that exact moment.

Avery was simple and innocent since she was always well protected by Zachary, so she didn't find anything suspicious at that time.

"Fine, I'm going to confess. Do you still remember that day when Zachary drank the wine for you? I was planning to spice things up for the two of you, so I put something in your wine.

I didn't expect Zachary to be so overprotective of you, but he drank the wine for you. I thought it would help to push your relationship, but it seems like I didn't think it through."

Nicole knew that something must have happened between Zachary and Avery. Otherwise, Zachary would not have cancelled the wedding so abruptly. Zachary was a responsible man.

Upon hearing that, Avery couldn't help but feel surprised. "Nicole... Do you mean that Zachary that night..." All of a sudden, Avery understood what he meant back then.

Even under those circumstances, Zachary still let her go. She had no idea that Zachary was so thoughtful towards her.

"I'm sorry, Avery. I made a rash decision," Nicole apologized with sincerity. She knew that she didn't have the right to make choices for Avery. It was her life, after all.
