Holly closed the face powder box, and made a "Kada" sound, "If you pay back what you owe, you're free to leave the top girl's club at any time, right?"

Gabby looked up at Holly. It wasn't bad to have her pay the debt.

So she nodded, "It seems true."

Holly looked at Gabby through the mirror with an indifferent look. Gabby didn't have any emotions. It was like leaving Jackson was a good thing.

"Gabby, you have to understand one thing, if your work at the top girl's club was exposed, there is no way you can get any jobs in show business. For me, you look like one standing at the cliff, with a gentle nudge, you will fall. So, I don't hope you stick around, or I'll make your career end."

Then Holly left the ladies' room with her handbag. Gabby made a face in front of the mirror.

Whether she would fall in the bottomless pit or ride on winds and waves was uncertain.

In the morning, the gold sunlight came in through the window. The quiet main bedroom was lit. Avery felt the warmth of the light in her sleep and slightly opened her eyes.

In a daze, the first man who came into her sight was wearing a suit.

He was wearing a silver-white hand-made suit, which brought out his straight figure. He looked so nobly elegant and calm. Avery forgot to take eyes off him for a moment.

"It's still early."

His sexy low voice was around her ears. Avery subconsciously held out to hug his neck and kept staring at him.

Evan rubbed against her golden hair and smiled, "Isn't your husband handsome?"

Avery nodded to play along, "Yeah, he's super hot."

Evan smiled and kissed her, "Why are you so sweet today?"

"When's the report back?"

Avery held his neck with her thin arms. She was still sleepy, but she kept thinking of it.

Avery looked like she had to get to the bottom of it, which amused Evan, "at noon. By then, wait for me to come from work. Don't go anywhere."

"I have to go to the police station."

She had to pay the bail money for Jamie.

"Let Tinder go."

Avery bit her lips. She wanted to go to the hospital and asked Charles to pull out the video of Fiona Summer from the day of the car accident. If she had time, she would visit Andrew with Jamie to the cemetery.

Going to see Charles or Andrew would cross Evan. So she had to do it behind his back.

Evan seemed to read Avery's thoughts. He said to make Avery drop any ideas, "Where do you want to go? I can come with you."

Then he pulled out his tie.

The last thing Evan wanted to go through again was Avery had a car accident. In numerous nights when she was in a coma, Evan regretted not being with her to protect her. So he would never make the same mistake.

"You'll follow me wherever I go?" Avery thought it was hard. Couldn't she have a private space?

"Em."

"What if I go to the toilet?"

"Well, if you don't mind..."

"What if I go to the mall?"

"I'd be delighted to come."

"Why don't you make a name tag out of me so you could carry me all the time."

Avery put on a bitter smile.

"Or would you rather accompany me to the business?"

Evan suggested.

Avery shook her head right away, "I'd rather stay in with the baby.

Evan was happy. He held her around her slim waists and clenched his fists. His tone was neither fast and slow, but it made one go mad, "Such a good girl. You behave so well in the morning."

"On the contrary, you behave so badly in the morning.

Evan didn't get mad. He smiled gloatingly, "We said we would visit Andrew together. Is there something you don't want me to see?

"I don't know what you're talking about.

Avery got back on the bed. She was unhappy because Evan figured out what she was thinking. It tickled Evan.

"I'll be back by noon. Do you remember what you said last night?

��Em."

Avery responded with impatience.

Evan had to open the quilt, so her head was out. He bit her earlobe, "I'm ready to punish you."

"Just go to work."

Avery reached out to shove him. He wouldn't give her a rest.

Evan got up and buttoned up. Soon Avery heard his footsteps.

"Evan."

Avery suddenly sat up. She stared at him with a crystal yet odd look through the messy hair.

"Em?"

Evan paused and turned around at her.

"Where are my underpants?"

She only wore a silk gown. She had nothing inside.

But she remembered she wore it last night.

And she wore a thong last night for the evening dress.

Evan took it off last night. She could tell from his look.

Evan gave her an interesting and casual smile. He didn't feel uneasy about taking off her underpants last night. He went over to the bed and handed her over a black thong.

He even looked so serious when he did it. She had such a laugh.

Avery stared at Evan's good-looking hands. It had a sexy vibe when he held the black thong in his fair hands. She withdrew her smile and had an idea, "Come over. I'll let you leave after you kiss me."

Evan suddenly leaned over. He held the back of her head, and she had to look up. Then he kissed her with force.

Em.

Avery slightly squinted her beautiful eyes. Her rosy lips are closely pressed with his thin and hot lips. She couldn't catch her breath. When he went deeper and deeper...

"Okay."

Avery stopped it at the right time. And she put the weightless thong in his trouser pocket.

Evan was obviously not done with the kiss. He even put his long fingers on his belt, ready to unbutton his pants. He had to give her teaching. But she shoved his chest.

Evan's look was dark. He reached inside Avery's nightgown to have some serious rubbing. It was the only way to make him feel better.

Avery frowned in pain. But she smiled languishing, "Get to work. From now on, I'll be the pretty one, and you'll be the breadwinner."

After she was done flirting, she didn' care what physical reactions Evan had.

Evan stood there. He didn't leave and just stared at her. He couldn't hold back the urge.

But the urge gradually faded away as he kept breathing. And it went away.

"Wait till I get back at noon.

Evan's tone was back to normal. He strode over to leave the bedroom after the words. Before he left the gate, he went into the baby's room to give her a kiss. The baby was still asleep. Then he left the house.

Avery smiled, holding the quilt in the bedroom.

It was punishment for Evan because he didn't allow her to go anywhere.
