Chapter 174: Hoping for Avery’s Love
Upon hearing that Avery wants to leave, the women begin to complain and object.
"We haven't been out for a very long time," one woman says, "Mr. Clifford doesn't allow us to go out. If we need something, we can make a list, and someone will buy items for us."
"You can't leave here on your own," objects another, "You'll get lost immediately."
"Are there any other ways?" Avery asks, trying to hide her disappointment.
"The only way is to ask Mr. Clifford to allow you to go out with a team of his guards," Ruby says.
"You should help me," Avery says, "I need to go shopping if our plan is going to work."
The women nod and agree, but Ruby scowls suspiciously.
In the morning, the women wait at the dining room table to have breakfast with Andrew. Andrew emerges from his room wearing a dark blue robe and looking irresistibly disheveled. He's surprised to see all of the women sitting at the table.
"Why are you up so early?" he asks.
