"Is it because I'm gonna marry Mr. Black?"

Evan put both hands in his pocket. He suddenly looked up and said indifferently, "It's none of my business who you marry."

Avery came closer, grabbing the hemline, "Why do you and Diana..."

"Your Highness, can't I have a girlfriend while you get married? You find your happiness and marry another man. Why should I keep being loyal to you? What are you thinking?"

"I thought you know why I married Mr. Black. I thought we reached an understanding."

Evan said, "I admire what you have sacrificed for your daughter. But I can't wait," Evan answered coldly, "The ups and downs we have could bring us closer or more distant. Besides, I have no feelings for you right now."

"I have no feelings for you right now."

Avery felt something pricked her heart. She stared at Evan and couldn't believe what he heard. She wanted to find an answer in his look.

Avery didn't let go of Evan's micro facial expressions. But Evan remained indifferent.

"I know you're mad at me. But what happened?"

"Your Highness, if cheating others and yourself could make you happy, then I'm mad at you and say things I don't mean. But if there is nothing else, Your Highness, you shouldn't keep the president waiting. "

Evan slightly nodded and turned around to leave.

Avery still chewed on what Evan said. Seven days ago, Evan said," Avery, I'm warning you not to marry Mr. Black. You can't marry anybody else but me!"

But now Evan said she shouldn't keep Mr. Black waiting.

Did Evan want Avery to marry Mr. Black so badly?

Avery shook her head. It was impossible. Something must have happened.

Avery looked up, and Evan walked to the door. He left with such determination and resolution and had no sign of turning back.

Avery was wondering if Evan was still mad that she chose to marry Mr. Black.

But Evan didn't seem to be mad...

He didn't bother to be mad because he didn't care anymore...

"Evan!"Avery suddenly shouted at Evan's back, "I know you're Evan!"

Evan finally stopped walking and turned back at her for more. Nobody knew whether Avery's confession would trigger a storm in his heart.

He asked calmly, "Since when?"

Avery answered, "When we were at the hotel, your bodyguard brought you drugs for your burning wounds. You were burnt in the same spot as George..."

Evan didn't say anything. Avery kept going, "I know I'm not in a position to ask you to do anything..."

Avery knew she was the one that agreed to marry Mr. Black.

"You are right. You can't ask me to do anything," Evan interrupted Avery. He continued," Even if you know who I am, nothing will change."He finished so fast like he didn't want Avery to say anything.

Evan stared at Avery and left again. This time, he didn't turn around.

Avery was at a loss. She stood where she was and didn't know how to deal with Evan's indifference.

She married Mr. Black to save their daughter. She didn't expect him to wait for her, but at least she thought he would understand.

But Evan acted like this didn't concern him at all. Was saving their daughter only Avery's business?

Avery got angry and didn't go after Evan. The door was knocked, and the maid left half of her body in. She said, "Your Highness, the President wants to know if you're ready."

Avery stepped on the red wedding carpet carefully. The flower children behind her held a bamboo basket with white and pink rose petals. When she walked by, they threw the pedals up in the sky.

Mr. Black stood under the arch decorated with flowers. He heard the noise and turned around. It wasn't until then Avery noticed he wore the wedding gown and looked so dashing and handsome.

"Why are you standing here?"

Avery was confused. As the bridegroom, Mr. Black was supposed to be on the stage, waiting for the bride to come to him.

"This is my position."

Avery didn't understand what he meant. But she still gave her hand to him.

The music started ringing. Mr. Black held her hand and walked together to the stage under public watch.

The audience wasn't shy to give admiring looks. Avery and Mr. Black were such a perfect match. The picture was like a dream.

Avery looked at the wedding viewers out of the corner of her eye for a moment. She laid eyes on that indifferent face for seconds and looked ahead.

On the stage stood a priest wearing black and holding a Bible. When the bride and bridegroom stood on the stage, he put his hand on the Bible with piousness.

The priest said slowly when Avery and Mr. Black were ready, "Mr. President, no matter you're poor or rich, healthy or sick, young or old, will you marry Her Highness, look after her for her life and never abandon her?"

Mr. Black stared at Avery. He helped her with the wedding veil that was blown. He was so slow like he wasn't in worry at all.

Everyone was waiting for his answer, and Avery didn't take her to look away from his face.

Mr. Black said, "I will not."

There were sudden rumors among the audience. It surprised everyone that Mr. Black said no.

Avery slightly squinted. Mr. Black really didn't mean to marry her. What did he want to do?

Mr. Black looked to the right after he had said, "I want to marry you. But someone wants to marry you more than me."

Not far away, two lines of people came at them with presence. The man in the front help up his head high and advanced by a long stride. He came over wearing the sun and the moon.

Some couldn't help asking, "Who is he?"

"It's not Mr. Black's wedding. No wonder he blocked the news."

"He doesn't say that he is gonna get married. I wonder who starts it first."

"That man isn't simple to have Mr. Black operate the wedding like this."

"He's so hot!���

Avery felt the wedding was a huge joke. From the beginning, she was in an unreal dream, especially when she saw the man walking to her.

Avery stepped back, and it astounded her to see who it was.

He wore a white suit with a corsage, and only a bridegroom could wear.

He also held a bouquet of flowers which stood for genuine and unchanging love.

So, he was going to marry Avery instead of Mr. Black?

Avery suddenly sneered. She figured out he and Mr. Black worked together.

Avery also realized she was the one kept in the dark and being played.

Mr. Black stepped aside to give the position to the man. He gave Mr. Black a polite smile and said to Avery," You're not shocked, are you?"

Avery didn't have time to respond until the man came in front of the priest and stood.

Avery found herself not calm. She couldn't get peace from the shock.

Avery took a deep breath, raised her hand, and slapped the man on his face as hard as she could.
