"Good news? You not driving me to my death is good news enough for me," Cole teased with a cold chuckle.

Avery stayed silent for a few seconds, then hit him right where it would hurt and said, "Are you that spineless? If your uncle was the one asking you out, would you be so scared that you would lose your soul?"

"Avery Tate! Why are you provoking me? I've already lost everything. Why are you still looking for me? I don't want to know about you and my uncle, nor do I care. Even if you get married one day, it would have nothing to do with me! My uncle would never invite me to the wedding!"

Cole felt relieved and agreed to meet.
