Chapter 148: Do I deserve a Reward?
Evan unconsciously frowns. Something about her insistence on five days bothers him; he wonders why she keeps mentioning that number.
"I promise I'll give you a present in five days," Avery repeats.
She puts down the cake and tries to smile.
"I don't need to be so pessimistic," she thinks, "There's a possibility that Evan can save Gabrielle. Even if I have to meet Andrew, there's a chance I can escape from him and see Evan again."
She takes Evan by the hand and leads him to the living room. She asks him to sit on the sofa and instructs Robert to bring her some paints and an easel. Slowly, she begins to sketch Evan. As she works, Evan takes out his IPad and attends to some urgent business.
"Remember you promised to save Gabrielle," she says.
"Yeah," he says absently.
"Andrew has so many snakes," Avery muses, "Maybe he likes damp and dark places like forests."
Evan looks up from his work.
"You know him well?" he asks jealousy.
