Chapter 70: Chapter 70

At six in the evening.

Avery appeared at the entrance of the villa in her small car.

Before the door opened, Josie, who was sitting on the balcony reading comics, heard the sound of a car. When she looked up, she jumped up happily and waved downstairs, screaming in childish voice, "Avery, you’re back."

Then, she turned around and rushed into the room, running downstairs to pick up Avery.

Avery had just gotten out of the car when Josie pounced into her arms. Josie hugged her waist with both hands and rubbed her little head against her arms.

Avery was touched. She hugged Josie and stroked her furphy head, thinking, ’So cute. I want to have a puppy, oh no, a daughter like this.

Josie looked up expectantly. "Avery, did you miss me? I missed you so much."

"I miss you so much." Avery pinched her little face and carried her up. "What have you guys been doing these past few days?"

This week, they did not call her. She had no idea what happened at home,

"Daddy goes to work." Josie hugged Avery’s neck and stuck out three fingers very cutely. "We went to the countryside to stay with Grandpa and Grandma. We stayed for three days and helped Grandpa and Grandma with a lot of work. We also picked many fruits for you, Avery."

"Thank you, Josie." Avery carried Josie in one hand and pulled her luggage with the other as she prepared to go to the main building.

At this moment, Arthur ran out of the main building wearing an apron and gloves. As he ran, he waved his hand. "Avery, you’re back. The food is almost ready. Dad is almost home. We can eat soon."

Avery smiled. "Arthur. How are you?"

"Alright, alright, alright. Everyone is alright." Arthur took the luggage from Avery’s hands and said happily. "Mom has started cooking since she woke up from her afternoon nap. There’re your favorite foie gras with gingerbread toast and sautéed vegetables.

He smacked his lips. "There’s also my favorite chicken potpie, Dad’s favorite macaroni and cheese, Maria’s favorite fried fish, Josie’s favorite sunny–side–up egg and shrimp...Oh, Maria has to work overtime tonight and can’t come back on time. How pitiful."

Avery secretly snickered when she heard that. She could already tell that Arthur was a foodie,

In the beginning, the two of them were not familiar with each other and Arthur was embarrassed to eat too much in front of her. Later on, when they became familiar with each other, he did not hide it anymore. Every time, he ate the most and he wanted to try every dish.

Avery found it adorable.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the main hall.

Claire poked her head out of the kitchen with a long spoon in her hand. "Avery, you’re back? Have a seat. We can start eating soon. Arthur, come in and bring out the fruits and snacks Avery and Josie must be hungry."

Avery said sincerely, "Thank you, Mom. I appreciate it."

Claire smiled. "There is no need for such formality.

Half an hour later, the dishes were served. Wesley was back. The family of five sat at the dining table, chatting and laughing. They were very unhappy.

At 7 p.m., Wesley watched the national news as usual.

After it was over, he asked, "Which channel do you want to watch

Only then did Avery remember the war between Alexander and Richard. She took the remote control and clicked on an online channel.

This station is livestreaming Moran Group’s press conference on the health of former Lucy Moran....

Avery clicked on the live broadcast. "I’ll watch this."

Everyone became vigilant when they saw Alexander.

Hence, they put down their fork and watched with Avery.

This live broadcast was very good. It made the scene look like a movie blockbuster.

First, there was a two–minute–long film showing the majesty of the Moran Hotel and the splendor of the press conference hall. Then, the camera was moved to the open entrance of the hotel.

The commentator said excitedly. There are a lot of people here!

"There are more than a hundred reporters, media outlets, and internet celebrities. There are also many people from the Moran family, as well as business celebrities in Valemont City Richard is already here, but he didn’t appear outside.the hotel. Instead, he was in the press conference hall

The camera cut to the press conference hall.

The people sitting on both sides of the stage are all big shots of the Moran family, including the Moran Group’s chairman, Neil, the vice chairman Nicolas, who is Alexander and Lucy’s father...

The commentator read out a long string of names.

Avery memorized all of them.

"It’s 7:29. The commentator was excited. "Alexander hasn’t appeared yet. He’s punctual and he’s very particular about credibility. Will he show up on time tonight?"

The camera switched to the hotel entrance. The dense crowd looked around, looking for Alexander.

"According to reliable sources, Alexander has already gone to Aeloria to pick up his sister a few days ago. He wouldn’t answer his phone."

"I hope nothing goes wrong

"Ah, there’s only ten seconds left, the commentator said excitedly. "Now let’s count down. Ten, nine, eight..."

The commentator was so excited that it was as if he was broadcasting the World Cup finals, stirring up the emotions of the audience.

The camera directed the audience’s gaze in the direction of the intersection.

’Five, four...

At this moment, a low–key extended nanny van drove around the corner.

At exactly 19:30 am, the van stopped at the entrance of the hotel

Under the gazes and cameras of countless people, the car door slowly opened. A round, shiny, sexy... head popped out.

On the screen, everyone looked at the head in shock. Outside the screen, Avery also looked at the head in surprise.

Before anyone asked, the person slowly raised his head. His deep, cold, and sharp gaze swept across the crowd and the

Camera.

The people in the camera gasped slightly. Avery’s eyes widened in shock.

Alexander? Alexander shaved his hair? That explained why he always wore a cap. Why did he shave his hair? He looked very healthy. It doesn’t look like his hair would fall by itself. However, he looks good without hair.

From the side, the outline of his head was beautiful and smooth From the front, it was slightly long and narrow. The top and back of the head were tall and protruding. He had perfect bones.

Avery got an urge to touch his bald head....

Oh dear, what am I thinking?’ Avery patted her cheek, retracted her messy thoughts, and continued watching.
