The voice on the other end was Alexia’s!

Avery’s heart skipped a beat, surprise lacing his voice. “Ms. Alexia?”

“It’s morning here. Sir is currently visiting with the Williams and can’t take your call.”

Alexia’s tone carried a smug chuckle, “Whatever you have to say, you can tell me, and I’ll pass it along.”

Avery’s brows furrowed, his fingers curling into a fist.

He had served Sir for many years, toiling tirelessly with the loyalty of a workhorse, yet he always felt an invisible barrier between them. He even questioned whether Sir truly regarded him as a confidant.

picture. Ah, I’d forgotten – Evadne can’t have children anymore. Thaddeus wore her out,

didn’t he? Ha…”

Avery’s clenched fist trembled, “Ms. Alexia, please show some respect. Evadne is the woman I love, and she has never wronged you!”
