When she got dressed and got out of bed, she found her legs shaking.

James smiled, then picked her up and carried her from upstairs to the car.

When they arrived at the presidential palace, he held her from the car, but she refused. So many people were watching them.

Moreover, as they drove into the presidential palace, she looked through the window and saw Avery basking in the warm sunshine on the lawn's swing not far away.

"Avery." Jessica ignored James and directly ran to Avery.

Avery opened her eyes. The sunshine was left on her face through the sparse leaves. She used her hands to block the sunshine and saw Jessica was running to her.

She has been half lying on the swing chair and then stood up from the swing, "Jessica."

Avery hasn't seen Jessica's smile for a long time. Since Andrew died, Jessica has been like a doll that lost its soul for a long time.

Now Jessica came to her in the sun as a twenty-two-year-old girl.

Avery bypassed Jessica and found that James was still standing in place. The two people were not in a good relationship, but because of Jessica, they could be acquaintances.

Avery stretched out her hand and pulled Jessica to sit on the swing. Avery was wearing a blue dress, which reflected her beauty.

"Did you get the wedding dress that Jamie sent to you last night?"

"Well, where is Jamie?" Jessica subconsciously looked at James's position, and she was relieved when she found that he has gone.

"He returned to A Country. He insisted that he should go back to the Clifford family to complete Andrew's last wish."

Jessica's eyes turned red.

"He was so close to you. It's no wonder that James regarded him as a thorn in the eye." Avery could see how Jamie treated Jessica, but how could Jamie compete with James?

James was stronger than Jamie in terms of status or forces.

Moreover, Jessica could see something of Andrew from Jamie, but there was no love between them.

"He sent the wedding dress, but Caitan broke it."

"It's a pity. He is not able to come to your wedding. He asked me to tell you he wishes you happiness." Avery said.

Jessica lowered her head, and tears couldn't help falling. Jamie had accompanied her through her most painful period, and she has already regarded him as a brother.

Jessica took out her handkerchief to wipe tears, "Avery, how is Gabrielle?"

"I'm worried about her. She is pregnant, and I'll pick her up."

Jessica sighed, "I hope that Jackson will be fine. He will return safely."

Avery also sighed, "He will."

The two were saddened by the incident. At last, Avery shifted the subject, "My wedding was put off. After six months, it's the election. I feel that James will have a better chance of being elected if you get married before the election."

Jessica shook her head reluctantly, "I want to get married to you."

Avery smiled, "Although James did something wrong before, I can see that he is really nervous about you."

Jessica bowed her head down, awkwardly, "I do not want to get married so early."

"Many women are interested in James." Avery reminded her.

Jessica was nervous when she raised her head. Avery smiled, "You said you didn't want to get married so early, but your expression betrayed you."

Jessica pouted, "No."

When they were indulged in their chat, Sarah held the baby to come over, and Robert followed her.

Jessica ran to hold the little baby, and Robert then walked to Avery.

Avery glanced at Robert and smiled, "Is your boss still angry?"

Robert sighed and shook his head, "No."

Avery rubbed her temple, "I'll have a look."

Robert immediately nodded. If Mr. Howel was still angry, no one except Avery could make him happy again.

Avery walked into the study and saw the mess on the ground. Books and ashtray fragments were scattered all over the ground. Evan's temper was really violent to the extreme.

Looking up, she found that the man on the sofa was looking at her.

She went over and sat beside him, "You are still angry?"

"..."

"I know you're looking forward to the wedding, but Jackson had an accident, we should rescue him before the wedding."

"Did it have anything to do with us? Avery, you are too kind."

"Gabrielle is in bad condition. Don't you understand?"

"I can't understand. You don't want to marry me at all?"

"If I don't want to marry you, will I beg you to marry me?" Avery leaned gently against Evan, "Our baby is three months old. The doctor said we should not be too tired."

"You think it will be okay to mention the baby? You have always relied on me, and you only do whatever you want!" Evan was so angry.

"..."

"You refuse to marry me, and you put off the wedding."

When Avery looked at his angry look, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

She tried hard not to laugh at him, but she finally laughed.

"Evan, I'm really getting more and more interested in seeing your angry look."

Evan stared at her.

"How dare you laugh?" Evan was even more annoyed.

Avery pulled his sleeve, "I think you are so cute."

How could she describe him as cute?

"I'm serious!" He was very serious, "You disappointed me."

"I mean it!" Evan said seriously, "You really let me down!"

"Fine. It's my fault."Avery was guilty. When Evan got mad, the nicer she was to him, the worse he got.

As she expected, Evan said, "I am busy!"

Then Evan turned around to walk back into the bedroom. The way he threw a tantrum was really childlike.

Avery sighed and followed him. She started talking whether Lane listened or not, "I'm not saying I can't. It's just three months later. The doctor said after three months we could... we could carry on married life."

Evan came to the rocking chair and sat down. Avery even mentioned sex in order to persuade him.

Avery came to the rocking chair too.
