Chapter 175: Finally Grey got home very late and he slept at the maid quarter. He doesn’t want any
confrontation. Even when they were married, Avery was always treating him like trash.
So, he wondered how she would behave after the fact that the divorce would actually be happening
“So, have you decided? Avery told me you have,” Lucy said suddenly.
Grey looked up and slowly nodded, “I have. We’ve agreed to divorce.” “Alright,” Lucy nodded briefly.” I
consent to it then.” “Wow! That’s the best news ever!” Emma announced happily.
Smith smiled. ” Very nice.”
Smith couldn’t find where Grey did his open sale and neither his men found out. It was that evening that
news reached him of where the open sale took place. Though, he was happy that the plan concerning
Avery had worked. He would have to see Chris so that they could discuss all other things.
Grey felt a tightness in his stomach at the words.
“Can I pack my clothes slowly?” Grey inquired, amidst the celebration. He wouldn’t have been present
anyways if Avery hadn’t wanted the divorce to happen quickly. So, he wanted to leave the house as soon
as possible.
He knew that Avery was very happy to be able to get rid of him at last. But Avery wasn’t really as happy
as she thought she would be. In fact, she felt even sadder. Though, she had no idea why that was.
“No problem. You can do that at your convenience,” Lucy responded,
Once again, everyone was shocked at Lucy’s behavior.
Grey got up suddenly. “I will leave now then,” he stood and without waiting for more words, hurried

“I have a place to be. Later,” Lucy said and stood up as well. He picked up his briefcase and walked out.
“Avery, my daughter. You can stay calm now and focus on getting a nice husband. A good and rich
husband like Chris,” Emma suggested with a voice that showed how happy she was.
Avery slowly released a sigh. She wondered why she wasn’t even excited about it. Instead, she was
worried
“Avery, you need to marry Chris as soon as possible,” Benjamin proposed.
“Yes,” Emma chipped in. “Listen to your father and marry Chris. We will make it a glamorous one for you.
In fact, I’m going to invite every important person in the city,” Emma revealed happily
Avery looked at thein for a moment. “Mom, I’m not going to marry Chris. I don’t even plan to.
“What!” Emma and Benjamin said at the same time.
“But why? I thought you and Chris had this chemistry?”
Avery shook her head briefly.” I told you Smith that I don’t feel anything for Chris. I don’t want to be with
Chris. I think I’m going to be alone for a while.”
“No! That can’t happen!” Emma snapped. “How would you stay alone? What’s with Chris that you don’t
love? He’s very young, handsome, and rich. What else do you want?”
Avery asked herself the same question numerous times but she couldn’t conclude. She just didn’t know
what she wanted.
“I don’t know but there’s nothing you can do to stop me I won’t marry Chris,” she stood and hurried
inside.
Grey got a bag to fill some of his clothes. He was going to the gym that afternoon and he didn’t want
anything to hinder him. Avery was going to be the past of his life. He wouldn’t have to worry about
useless things. He could calmly think of how to get back to his position.
That was all that mattered by the way.
“Do you need help?” A feminine voice reached him suddenly, and he looked up at Avery.
Avery in a short red dress that revealed her long legs, actually made him swallow hard.
To even think that Avery didn’t even allow him to touch her was a great punishment on its OWI.
“No, I don’t need your help,” he refused it softly.
“Since I cease to be your wife, I hope you won’t send the men after me again.”
Grey pulled to a stop suddenly and looked up, instead. “What do you mean?”
“You sent some men to monitor me so that I would not be with Chris. It shouldn’t have been. You e gone
too far,” she scolded softly Grey regarded her for a moment before a smile surfaced.” That’s why?” Avery
raised skeptical brows at him.” Why what?” ” You might never really make it sar. You shouldn’t believe
every word that strangers tell you. They can easily change anything. What am I even saying, the voice of
your brother might not be true You can’t trust anyone but you.” Avery hufled ” Are you saying this so that
we can go back together?”
Grey zipped his bag, “We were never together anyways. Im only giving you a life hack. Beware of
veryone, especially Smith before he set you up with another man Anything lie tells you about me is
nothing but cooked up lies.”
Avery’s eyes went wider and darker with shock” What do you mean?”
Uroy turned around to look at her “Ask Smith. We are apart now, I’m sure he would tell you ihr truth,”lic
finished in a deep votre and walked out of the room
Avery regained the shock that Grey had given her. She didn’t believe Grey anyways, she had never
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbelieved him but somehow, something kept telling her to speak with Smith about it.
Avery walked into the dining and watched as her mother exchanged words with Benjamin. Lucy had left
already. Though, Avery wondered where he went as it was Sunday.
“Smith, can we talk?”
Smith looked up from the food he was eating. “Can it be later? We will talk after I’m done eating,” He
stressed. “Now, please. It can’t wait,” she uttered and walked to her bedroom. It didn’t take long when the
door opened behind her and Smith stepped in “This has better be very serious. It won’t be funny if it’s not
serious and you let me leave my food,” He whined
Avery sighed.” Tell me the truth, Smith. I think I deserve to know the truth. Grey has left already and you
already know that I won’t marry Chris. So, you don’t need to lie again.” Smith raised skeptical brows.”
About what?”
Avery sighed. “Everything, Smith. Is there something you are not telling me? I demand to know all.”
Smith sighed.” It doesn’t matter anyways. You and Grey aren’t at all compatible. I just don’t know why
you don’t want Chris.”
” Smith!” Avery yelled suddenly, “Tell me the truth! It’s not going to affect anything. anyways. My mind is
mad up and you know me. I don’t go back on my words!”
Smith sighed. He knew her just well. Avery would never date Chris and that was the final. There was no
point hiding from her anyways.
