A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Are You Disappointed?

Darlene turned around to have a look. Avery was not far behind her and was walking

toward her.

Darlene didn’t trust Avery at all. She quickly hung up the phone call from Nathen and dialed Gustave’s number, ready to press the dial button anytime.

After making some preparations, Darlene frowned and asked, “Are you following me?”

Darlene remembered that Avery almost had never come to this restaurant before, whether it was to discuss business, to socialize, or to occasionally have a meal with

friends.

Moreover, Darlene had only been here for less than half an hour and she had just walked out of the private room. She did not believe that she would coincidentally bump into

Avery.

When Avery was only a step away from Darlene, Darlene immediately took a step back in resistance. “If you have anything to say, just say it.

“There’s no need to mock me. I’ve heard enough of it. If you take another step closer, I

will call for help.”

Avery had a bad temper. In the past, if Darlene kept a distance from him like this, he

would at least have to mock her.

However, Avery’s tone was abnormally calm today. “It’s fine if you want to stay in

Gustave’s place, but with your current condition, you shouldn’t come out and run

around. If Gustave really cares about you, he shouldn’t have brought you. here.‘

Darlene leaned her back against the window and said in a cold tone, “Thank you for

your concern. We know what we are doing, so there is no need for you to take care of it. Besides, isn’t the word ‘care‘ funny coming from you?”

Every word Darlene said was laced with sarcasm. Avery felt that it was ear–piercing and frowned. “We? Do you have to do this? You have only been with him for a short time, and you can’t even talk to me properly now.”

Darlene grabbed her phone tightly and walked around Avery to the private room. “Yes,

110.”

Just as Darlene passed by Avery, her arm was grabbed by him.

Avery turned around and looked at the man standing outside the room. It was Braylen’s driver, Adam.

Avery guessed something and lowered his voice. “Gustave is planning to cooperate with Braylen?

“Darlene, I told you everything would be fine if you came back with me. All this trouble, all these people, why bother?”

Darlene immediately dialed the number on her phone and pushed Avery’s hand away with a cold face. “It is none of your business.

“It was you who broke the agreement first. Of course, Mr. Walpole will find someone else to cooperate with. Are you disappointed that he did not come to you as you hoped?”

Darlene had Avery’s thoughts exposed and then Avery said coldly, “Darlene, you are too naive. You’re not going to solve anything except drag down the Swale family.”

Darlene laughed and looked at Avery with some sympathy. “Mr. Gallard, you are so arrogant. Since you think you can have everything under control, then just wait and see. Don’t end up hurting yourself.”

Darlene walked directly to the private room. Avery chased after her with a dark face. “Mr. Gallard? How dare you call me Mr. Gallard? Darlene, let me tell you…”

Before Avery could finish his words, Darlene had already opened the door to the private

room and entered.

Avery intended to chase after Darlene, but Cyrus‘ voice rang out from behind him, “Mr. Gallard, Mr. Nixon is still waiting for you.”

Avery looked furious, but he did not go over again. Instead, he turned around and
