When Avery came back, he saw Serena smiling at Jay brightly. It was rare that she was so friendly to someone she'd just met.
"Shall we leave now?" He walked over and asked Serena.
"Avery, Jay and I are talking about going to play golf. Would you like to join us?" Serena asked delightedly.
In her eyes, Jay was just an agreeable uncle, but for Avery, a wealthy and mature man like Jay was a dangerous threat.
"Of course. Am I mistaken? I heard you call him Jay." Avery was very sensitive.
She was not supposed to call a partner they had just met by his name. That was too intimate.
Serena darted a glance at Amy. With her presence, she couldn't tell Avery the truth.
"We just hit it off. Would you mind if I call you Jay?" Serena asked Jay innocently.
"Of course not. Amy, book a tee time for us."
"Yes," Amy said, suppressing her anger.
"Let's go." Jay rose to his feet.
Avery took Serena's hand and got up. He had an inkling the Serena and Jay had known each other before.
This feeling disconcerted him given that Jay was a very charming man.
He was afraid Serena would find such a mature man especially attractive.
"What's on your mind, Avery?" Serena perceived his gloominess.
"Nothing."
After they arrived at the golf course, they went to the changing rooms separately.
In the women's changing room, Amy said to Serena, "You must have expected me to be very miserable. Sorry to disappoint you, but I..."
Serena interrupted her flatly, "Your life is no concern of me."
Amy froze on the spot.
"Serena, don't get up on a high horse. There are so many men better than Avery in this world." Amy's voice was fierce.
"You got some f*cking nerve mention Avery. He was in the hospital for many days because of you!" Serena flared up.
"He won't do anything to harm you for your father's sake, but don't think you can get away with it."
Serena whipped around and left after finishing her words.
On the golf course, Avery changed into a casual suit that reminded Serena of the time when he'd been a student.
She missed it very much because Avery was always in a suit now.
"Avery," she called him from afar and trotted toward him.
"Don't run. You just have your breakfast."
Serena pouted in protest but slowed down her pace.
Amy chose a very sexy short skirt.
