Chapter 112 She Resembles You
As soon as Avery dragged Darlene away, the lively conversation in the living room
cooled downl.
Andrewâs face darkened, and he scolded in a low voice, âThatâs ridiculous.â
Erick, who was at the side, laughed gloatingly, âWhatâs wrong with Avery?â
Darlene listened to the talking behind her. No one stood up to stop Avery. They just watched as if it was
none of their business.
Nathen wanted to get up, but Martin said in a low voice without changing his expression, âDonât meddle
in this.â
There was no one on the lawn in the backyard. Avery pulled her to the pavilion on the lawn and pressed
her shoulder to let her sit on the swing.
He looked at her from high above, his face full of anger.
Darlene was so angry that her shoulders trembled. âAvery, is something wrong with you? Did I provoke
you?â
Avery stared at her mouth and thought of the two oranges that Nathen had just handed. over. The more
he looked at it, the angrier he became.
He reached out and grabbed her mouth. âSpit out everything you have eaten.â
Darlene got angry and pushed his hand away. âIf you have a problem, go and treat it. What I eat has
nothing to do with you. Iâm not spitting anything out.â
Avery was very unhappy and began to speak before thinking, âDo you think Nathen is a nice guy?
Previously, he hid his identity from you for so many years. Who knows what
he was up to?
âWhat? Seeing that he has a powerful background, you canât wait to seduce him and be a member of the
Elicott family? Do you think he can be better than meâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, a crisp slap landed on his face.
Darlene trembled with anger. âAvery, your thoughts are dirty, so you think everyone is dirty. Dr. Elicott is
much better than you.â
Avery was slapped in the face, and his mind was filled with images of Darlene exchanging glances with
Nathen. Under everyoneâs gaze, she did not mind
embarrassing the Gallard family.
His mood was extremely bad, and he roughly pulled her up. Then, he pressed her back against the stand
of the swing.
âDarlene, donât be ridiculous. I said that you can do whatever you want, but that doesnât mean I can
tolerate you seducing another man openly.â
He pressed her tighter, and Darleneâs back was pressed against the wooden frame. She struggled a few
times but was unable to break free.
Avery lowered his eyes and stared at her lips for a long time. His eyes darkened. Then, he directly
pressed her shoulders and kissed her recklessly.
Darlene could not push him away, and she wanted to vomit again. When he pried open her mouth, she
clenched her fists tightly and bit him hard.
The taste of blood spread. Avery did not even have the slightest reaction to let go of her. He kissed her
as if she was his prey. He refused to let her go.
On the silent lawn, a manâs soft cough suddenly sounded behind them. Then, there came a halfâjoking
voice. âMr. Gallard, Mrs. Gallard, you two really canât control your love for each other. Iâm so excited to
see this.â
Darleneâs face instantly turned red from embarrassment as she frantically pushed Avery
away.
Avery finally loosened his grip. His face was filled with displeasure from being
interrupted. He turned around and looked at the man sitting on the rattan chair not far
behind him.
Because there were grass and trees between them, and Avery didnât pay much attention. when he came
over earlier, he did not notice that there was another man sitting on the
lawn.
Braylen got up from the rattan chair. His extremely beautiful eyes contained a teasing smile as he walked
over. âSorry to have disturbed you. I apologize. I will leave now.
âHowever, someone else may come to this lawn. After all, there are so many guests. Mr. Gallard, youâd
better be careful and keep your image.â
Averyâs expression was ugly. âMr. Swale, I donât think itâs your business.â
Braylen smiled, âItâs just a simple suggestion. Iâm not interfering in your business. Mr. Gallard, this is your
home. Even if you slept with Mrs. Gallard here, it would not be my business, let alone you two only
kissed.â
Averyâs face darkened. âBraylen, watch your mouth.â
Braylen nodded repeatedly. âRight. Right. I have to watch my mouth. You guys continue. Iâm leaving
now.â
He casually placed his coat on his shoulder and walked inside.
Avery turned around and wanted to embrace Darlene. He knew that she was shy and would be angry
since someone saw what happened just now.
Just as he reached out his hand, Darlene raised her hand and slapped the back of his hand. She
slapped his hand away and left with red eyes.
Avery chased after her unhappily. âHow could I know that there was someone hiding in that damned
place? Anyway, it was just a kiss. He saw it, so what?â
He reached out his hand again, but Darlene shook it off. âGet lost. Stay away from me.â
Darlene entered the living room. Her face was a little pale as she greeted Andrew, âGrandpa, Iâm not
feeling well. Iâm going back now.â
Andrew had long wanted her to leave. When she left, he could let Katrina interact more
with Avery.
Andrew immediately responded, âSince you are not feeling well, go back and have a good rest. I will ask
the driver to send you.â
Darlene took her bag from the sofa. âNo need. I can go back by myself.â
When she walked out of the living room, Avery came in. Seeing that she was leaving, he
wanted to follow her.
Andrew called out to him in a deep voice, âAvery, Darlene is not feeling well. Just let her go back. There
are so many relatives here, and it is rare for us to get together. You should at least have lunch here
before leaving.â
Avery glanced at Braylen with extreme displeasure. Braylen raised his eyebrows and
shrugged as if he had nothing to do with this matter.
Avery thought that if he followed Darlene now, they would most likely quarrel.
Cyrus walked over and said in a low voice, âMr. Gallard, why donât you stay? Since Mr. Dawson is here,
you can talk about Mrs. Gallardâs treatment plan with him. I will help you keep an eye on Mrs. Gallard.â
Avery looked at Giovanni, who was sitting in front of the French window in the living room and playing
chess with someone. Avery agreed, âKeep an eye on her.â
Cyrus nodded and immediately went out.
When Katrina saw that Darlene had left, she became so excited. She immediately called out to Avery,
âAvery, come sit over here. Mr. Andrew wanted me to talk to you about the movie script.â
Avery did not look at her and walked straight to the French window to talk to Giovanni.
Braylen crossed his long legs and leaned lazily on the sofa. He looked at Katrina mockingly and said,
âYouâre embarrassing yourself.â
Katrina was so angry that her face turned red. âYou!â
Thinking that there were so many people watching, she could only suppress her anger and try her best
to pretend to be gentle and sensible.
Braylen was not interested in talking to her. He recalled the moment he saw Darlene
and spoke to the driver beside him, âAdam, do you feel that Mrs. Gallard looks a little familiar?â
Adam knew Braylen very well. Braylen could flirt wherever he went and could be familiar with any woman
with a good look.
But when Adam took a closer look at Braylen and recalled Darleneâs appearance, he was
stunned. âMr. Swale, you are right. Mrs. Gallard resembles you.â
