Adrian must be delighted, right? Although his family might not welcome her that happily, they were all polite people. They would most probably not chase her away.
When she passed by a florist, Avery stopped her car by the side of the road. She picked a fresh bouquet of carnations. After paying, she entered her car with the bouquet in her hands.
She was once again on the road. She needed to go past two traffic lights and go forward for another two kilometers or so before she would reach the Whites.
She was humming a song. It was green all the way. The traffic was smooth all the way to the Whites.
She parked her car outside the Whites'
courtyard.
She got out of the car and saw that the gate was locked. She looked at the shut door of the mansion too. It seemed like no one was home.
She furrowed her brows and fished her phone out. She found Nathan, Adrian's father's contact, and dialed him.
She had thought of the worst-case scenario. Perhaps Nathan had blocked her number. However, the call connected.
"Mr. White. I'm by your house. I see that your doors are shut. Are you all not at home?" Avery inhaled nervously.
"Miss Tate! I'm sorry! We are out on holiday now. I'm afraid we can't welcome you in!" Nathan could not hide the arrogance in his tone. "If there is nothing else, I'm going to hang up. By the way, my son is doing well.
You don't have to worry." "Hold up!" Avery said sternly, "Adrian has just finished his surgery. He needs to rest! How could you take him out on a holiday? Even if he wants to go, he can't! Aren't you afraid that something might happen to him on the way?"
Nathan harrumphed coldly. "Miss Tate. I think I have paid you the surgery fees, right? I don’t need you to order me around. It's rude of you!"
Avery held her phone
