Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 634 Avery Had Regained Her Energy And Passion Back

"Got it. Thank you for reminding me, Avery," Moore said over the phone, a faint smile on his face. "But I

have already picked up some suits for tonight. Anyway, thank you. I know you're busy, Avery. You're a

superstar! I won't bother you any more. Work before play! I'll let you go now. See you later when I pick

you up, okay?"

"Well.. Okay!" Avery said reluctantly. Actually, she had already asked for a break from work and wanted

to spend the afternoon with Moore. Realizing he didn't want her company, she decided not to tell

Moore.

"Okay. See you later, Avery. Bye." Moore hung up as soon as he finished the last word.

Avery, hearing the call's disconnect tone, stared blankly at her phone. She felt terribly disappointed.

"I'm all set. Let's go, Avery! Let me get you to the Qi Mansion," Adolf said as he walked out of the

sound stage. His voice rang nicely through the room due to the good acoustic design of the room.

Audio recording equipment was strewn about as Adolf walked passed.

"I've changed my mind. I won't visit Moore anymore, Adolf. I know you were planning to visit your

brother at the hospital. Just go there instead! I'll just head back to the hotel and have a little shut-eye

before Moore and I meet later tonight,"

Avery said as she turned to Adolf. She looked breathtaking. But underneath, Adolf noticed she wasn't

pleased about something.

"What happened? You were so excited to see him a while ago. What made you change your mind? You

seem upset. Did Moore do something?" Adolf asked with creased brows. He shot Avery a worried look.

"No, it's not like that. Moore's been really busy with the dinner preparations tonight. I thought maybe I

shouldn't bother him right now. Don't worry about me, Adolf," Avery softly said as she shook her head.

"Even if he was busy, as your boyfriend, he should spare some time to be with you! What a boyfriend

he is!" Deep inside, Adolf felt sorry for Avery. He examined her face under the bright corridor lights.

Even when looking at her tender face, her rosy cheeks and beautiful eyes, Adolf could tell she was

really upset by this. He continued, "Look at yourself, Avery. I'm really worried about you! I can't leave

you alone like this! How about, I drop you off at the hotel before I go to the hospital?"

The two made their way to the car that was parked in front of the building. Adolf opened the door and

assisted Avery into the car before she could protest further.

Adolf got into the driver's seat and pressed the button to start the car. A while later, Avery took a deep

breath and said, "Adolf, I'm not okay and it's really bad."

"Avery, you know you can tell me anything," Adolf said as he turned to Avery with a look of concern

before turning his eyes back towards the road.

"Thank you, Adolf. I know the dinner party tonight is really important to Moore, so I asked one of my Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

designer friends to buy a lounge suit for him from Italy. But when I surprised him with it a while ago, he

turned it down so quickly. I'm so upset by this. We're both in a committed relationship now. It's normal

that I buy him a suit as a present, but why did he outright refuse it?"

Avery asked in a hurt tone and looked at Adolf.

"Jesus. Is that why you're upset?" Adolf's brows shot up as he asked in a surprised look. He couldn't

have known the reason was so simple.

"Yeah," Avery replied with a sad tone. Her eyes were downcast as she nodded slowly.

"You've changed, Avery. I can't believe you would be upset just because Moore didn't accept your gift.

You're not the old you anymore, Avery! As I recall, you were free, strong and independent! No matter

what came your way, you could overcome it easily.

Now, look at yourself, Avery. You're upset over such a small thing. Are you even the Avery that I know?

You were so smart before, now you just look stupid. Like you said, tonight's party is incredibly important

to Moore, right? Of course he would have prepared everything beforehand, including what he would

wear tonight. The party is today, a mere few hours away. You just told him that you prepared a suit for

him. Now if you were him, who would prepare every meticulous detail for attending tonight's dinner,

how would you react? Don't you think you'd refuse as well?"

Adolf explained in an attempt to reassure her.

"Well, I..." After hearing what Adolf said, she realized her mistake and smiled, and continued, "You're

right. Actually, Moore did say that he had already prepared some suits for tonight. I guess that's the

reason why he refused my gift.."

Telling herself this, her mood did a complete one-eighty degree turn. Her sincere signature smile crept

up her face.

Adolf sighed as he noticed Avery's immediate mood change. He told himself in the safety of his mind,

'Being in love just makes women stupid!

Such a small thing can make them laugh, and cry at the same moment!'

"Thank you, Adolf. I feel so much better now," Avery said, looking at Adolf with a big, fat smile on her

face. And she blurted out, "Drop me off right here! I can't wait to see Moore now."

Just the mention of her boyfriend's name turned her face pink.

It seemed as though Avery had regained her energy and passion.

"I'll take you there!" Adolf beamed after seeing Avery's smiling face.

In his heart, he told himself Avery deserved to be happy everyday of her life. That's what he always

wanted.

Avery didn't refuse his offer as she was so excited to see Moore sooner.

After closing the distance, they arrived at the Qi Mansion. Adolf didn't get out and just dropped off

Avery in front of the mansion gate. He then went on his way to the hospital to see his brother.

Avery was excited and nervous at the same time about seeing Moore. She smoothed the creases in

her dress before she rang the doorbell to the huge mansion.

The guard hurriedly opened the gate for her after recognizing the international popstar. She then

thanked the guard and walked towards the house.

She passed by the lush gardens, her heels clacking on the cobblestone path towards the mansion. She

entered the house, but didn't find Moore and Jean on the first floor.

She then went upstairs. When approaching Moore's room, she could overheard their voices.

"This tie looks good on you," Jean said as she adjusted the dark red tie around Moore's neck, looking

satisfied. "Perfect! The steel grey suit is a good reflection of your mood tonight, calm and collected.

Gray is also the color of wisdom and low-key luxury. Pairing it with a contrasting color, dark red, will add

some color and offset the monotone gray. What do you think, Moore?"

"I think it's perfect." Moore turned side to side as he looked at his outfit on the mirror. Jean spent the

entire afternoon preparing this ensemble for Moore.

Finally, Jean got what she wanted. As long has she was happy, that's what Moore wanted the most.

"Finally, we did it. Gosh! I am so tired. Looks like there's still quite a while before the dinner party. You

should get some rest. I need some sleep as well," Jean said as she stretched and yawned. Bones

popped and she giggled at the satisfaction. She then waved goodbye at Moore and walked out of the

room.

Just outside the door, Jean was surpised to see Avery standing in the corridor and staring intently at

her. She greeted Avery, "Avery! You're here! Are you looking for Moore? He's inside the room," Jean

didn't notice Avery's angry look as she said this in a happy tone.

In the room, Moore felt lightheaded for a second as he heard Jean greet Avery enthusiastically. Then

he walked out of the room and saw Avery's furious look.

He put two and two together and realized why she was angry. He walked towards Avery and held her

hand. Then he turned to face Jean and said, in a fake tone, "Go and and get some sleep, Jean. I'll

wake you up when it's time to go."

"Okay! You two have fun!" Jean teased and then yawned while walking towards her bedroom.

She felt exhausted and wanted some shut-eye.

After making sure Jean was inside her room, he pulled Avery into the door and closed it.

"Let go of me!" Avery telled at Moore. Her temper was bleeding out and couldn't control it anymore.

She stared at Moore furiously.

"Avery, I know you're pissed. Can you at least, let me explain?"

Moore pleaded.

"Explain what, Moore? Well, okay then, I'm waiting." Avery took a deep breath in a futile attempt to

calm herself down. She looked at Moore expectant, but still angry.

If Moore said anything wrong and she found out he was lying, she'd kill him with a look.

Moore smiled bitterly, sighed deeply and said, "Avery, Jean is pregnant. You know, pregnancy can bring

a ton of mood swings and emotional changes. What I mean is, we all do our part in taking care of Jean,

even for the small things."

"Get to the point, Moore!" Avery snapped. She definitely lost her patience there. She didn't want to

listen to a long story. What she wanted to know was the reason and the reason alone.
