Chapter 73
Avery
“You can still entrust your back to me. I would always remain that friend that keeps your back safe as you worry about the future.”
Sadie said.
“Do you even believe the words you just said?” I asked as I shook my head.
I wanted to laugh at her words but I held it in.
No matter how she tries to repair our bond, it had already taken a hit.
A crack is already present on the surface of our trust.
I can not easily trust her again.
She can not blame me from trying to stop myself from sustaining more. hurt. It was reflex.
Trusting her is very difficult.
“We will never go back to how we were right?” Sadie asked softly.
“What do you think?” I replied her with a question of my own.
Her thought of us going back to how we were once like is wishful thinking. It was just a daydream.
Even glass that had been broken would show traces of the abuses it had gone through, not to talk less of me as I am a living
being.
I have feelings too and I also get hurt too. I was mortal,
She can’t just expect her actions to not have any repercussions at all.
I am not the Avery of the past that only relied on her alone. Sadie had changed and I have changed too.
None of us were the same as our previous selves so she should not expect that everything would be settled as it had always
been in the past.

Between us, a type of invisible wall had been erected. I don’t know if we would be able to pass this tribulation.
Still, in my heart I knew I was just saying those encouraging words as mere words.
I and Sadie might not cross this mistake she made forever.
That pure friendship no longer existed between us anymore. The highest we can be is just an ordinary friends.
I do not dare to tell her my secrets anymore.
What if she uses my secrets to do something devious and scheming?

Sadie is like a timed bomb. I would receive more damage if I stay with
her.
I would not be able to shoot down the suspicion that she would harm me even if she did not intend to harm me.
Besides, the matter about Sadie’s unknown benefactor is unknown and uncharted.
Sadie was tight–lipped about him so asking from her would be a dead end. I want to investigate Sadie’s appearance in Zera city
closely.
Thinking of that, it was strange that Sadie appeared in the city I was in so coincidentally.
Still, I kept my suspicions to myself.
Regarding our bond and friendship, nothing great can be borne from it
now.
Both of us don’t have the pure hearts we had in the past.
I stood up.
I had chatted with her enough. I had listened to her so it is now to go back to my own job.
If it was in the past, I could keep any business I have aside because of Sadie but now it was different.
She was an important part of my life then.

Now, I valued my business more than Sadie.
I had already removed her from the inner circle I put the people close to my heart.
Sadie did not say anything to stop me. She kept her quiet as she watched me leave.
I returned to the office to work on more designs but my mind could not
concentrate.
I massaged my brows and stood up.
It seemed this matter with Sadie affected me more than I thought.
She was an integral part of my life after all.
I was not a robot. I can not decide to distance myself from her and then-____ cut any attachments between us cleanly just like
that.

It was not that easy.
That was what I was trying to convey to Sadie early in the small restaurant we went to. I was human too.
She was probably seeing how strong I was in trying to keep her at arms length, she would never notice the inner struggle I was
battling every time.

I packed my stiff and then called the driver.
Soon, he came and took me back home.
My adoptive mother was sitting on the chair and watching television.
She looked up when I entered.
“Why is your face gloomy?” She asked and I touched my face in shock.
I kept my face expressionless all the way so that nothing about my thoughts would show on my face.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

The servants I met on the way here did not obviously notice anything strange or they would have spoken up in concern.
Mrs Barrington had personally reviewed those that were going to work in the Barrington’s mansion.
I knew those servants had to have discerning eyes and a good character for them to be chosen by my adoptive mother.
Mrs Barrington had noticed my true emotions even with the mask I constructed to hide my true upheaval.
It means she was putting efforts to study me and my behaviors.
The haze bothering me because of Sadie was dispelled a little!
Mrs Barrington patted the seat next to her and I sat down.
I looked at her attentively before saying what was on my mind.
“Regarding Sadie’s betrayal, should I not kept her at a distance? Sometimes, I feel like I was too harsh.” I asked.
I was not the time to spend huge chunks of time on things Luke this.
Sadie was my pillar, a sister from another mother and she was like a soulmate.
I was not talking about romantic love.
Now, everything had shattered into something unrecognizable.
“You were worried about your friend and her actions?” Mrs Barrington
faced me squarely, “I can not say I have known you for long but you are not the type to wallow in despair like this. You are even
wary against me and your adoptive father even as everything is calm. You are calm and calculating so don’t turn into this crying
ness because.”
I reeled in shock at her words.
It seemed Mrs Barrington noticed the slight wariness I had as I stayed with them.
My wariness might have hurt her but she did not say anything.
At her words, the wariness I had for the Barringtons decreased by half..

Only someone that lived me would do things like this. I appreciated her
care.
I blushed, “Yes. I am that kind of person. I am always suspicious. I am always thinking of the negative side of things.”
Mrs Barrington patted my head, “It is a good trait so pick yourself up together. Go back to your usual style and don’t worry
unnecessarily. When the future comes, we would tackle it together.”
I looked at her with a complicated light in my eyes.
“Thank you.” I said as I smiled towards her.
