He quickly grabbed Avery's wrist and turned. He was about to take the first step to get out of there when Avery grabbed Alex's wrist with her free hand. Looking down, Alex first looked at their hand and then at her face.
"What are you going to?" Avery said bringing a fake smile on her lips. She felt like William's words had stabbed her heart very badly. She was feeling great pain from inside but she never brought that expression on her face. Also, she thought that there was not Mr William Hill's fault in the first place because he did not know that Avery was Alex's wife.
"We are going home right now."
"We can't go."
"But why?"
"Because We have everyone's attention."
" I don't care." He clenched his jaw. "Intact Thanks to me that I am not creating a scene here."
"Alex, Don't be stubborn like a little child." She eyed him and then looked at the whole family member and gave her a fake smile as 'everything is all right between them.'
"Your dad doesn't know the relationship between the two of us that's why I'm not a family member for him right yet. And there is nothing wrong with that. And It's just dinner. So I can sit at another table."
"He knows or not known, still he doesn't have a right to insult you like this and you are not going to sit on another table. We are leaving."
"Try to understand. Please."
"Okay.....Okay.... I will but on one condition. I will dine with you."
"Alex...."
Everyone around them was wondering what was going on between Alex and Avery. But the two of them whispered in a very low voice that made it impossible for others to hear their words.
The most surprising thing is the closeness and chemistry between them. In matching outfits, they were looking very suitable for each other. William was the one who was most confused by their behaviour. As far as he knew, Clara was Alex's world-famous girlfriend. But today he seemed very possessive about this girl. It was clear from his behaviour that the girl who came with Alex was very important to him.
When Avery was busy convincing Alex, someone cleared his throat to gain their attention. That person was Ethan.
When Alex and Avery were merged in their conversation while everyone else was busy watching the two of them, Ethan got up from his place. He called the waiter to bring a chair. And put a new chair next to the previously empty one. Putting a new chair was not so easy as there was a very small gap between the two chairs. For that, Ethan was the first to get Eliza and Amaya out of their seats and shift their chairs a bit.
The situation was very awkward. Because of that, Ethan had to do his job in a fraction of a moment. And it was necessary to stop the coming storm. William was furious to see Ethan doing all this. He did not understand why his son-in-law and son were so mad behind a girl. But in front of everyone, he could not say anything to them
William was now practically started getting irritated by Avery's presence.
Alex and Avery look at Ethan.
"What?" Alex asked Ethan. He voice was calm but his eyes were bloody.
"You both sit down Please." Ethan could not order Alex but could request him. He pointed to the empty chair. Avery's eyes followed his pointed finger.
Avery looked again around. Everyone was still staring at them. She unknowingly put her hand on Alex's chest. "Alex please." And she requested.
Alex closed his eyes for a moment as he heard her pleading voice. He then opened his eyes and took a deep breath and pulled a chair back. He pulled a chair next to Xu Yuyam which made Xu Yuyam think that Alex was going to sit next to her but she was wrong when Alex put Avery on that chair.
After Avery sat comfortably on the chair, Alex himself sat between her and Amaya.
All the dishes were placed on the table and the mouth-watering aroma spread throughout the area. Avery looked at all the dishes. She didn't understand which one to choose. When she was in her puzzle state, she felt a warm breath on her ears. "What are you thinking?" Alex asked her in his husky voice.
"Nothing."
" Don't lie to me. I know what you're thinking. It is my fault that I did not tell the manager about this before. I'll make something for you." He was about to get up when Avery grabbed his hand.
'God this man is very difficult to handle.' She thought and the waitress put the tray in front of her as she was about to utter a word.
"Ma'am, this is especially for you." The waitress said this very politely and started serving Avery's plate. That tray was full of the kind of food that a pregnant lady needed.
Alex was surprised to see the tray. He didn't tell the manager, but someone did. He scanned the faces of his entire family members, and when he saw his youngest aunt smiling at him, he was convinced that it was Betty Hill. He also returned Betty's smile and started eating.
Alex had taken a few bites when he saw two family figures sitting at a table near their table. It was Raina and Max.
Max had picked up Raina early from the university for the party but they were too late due to a sudden emergency. By the time he got to the party, it was already dinner time. When he arrived at the mansion, there were very few people at the party as he expected. Because the whole Hill family was involved in this party and no one knew the whole members of the Hill family except a few people.

After dinner, Alex told Avery about Raina's presence. At that boring party, she finally got the company she deserved. She felt very tired, so she decided to take Raina with her to Alex's room, which was now her room as well.
When she went to Alex to tell him this, Alex told her that it was a good idea and that, "I will come to you when we have to left. Until then, you can take a rest."
After going to the bedroom, they both felt very relaxed. Although it wasn't too long that Raina came to the party. But due to an Emergency, she had to wait in the hospital for a long time in that heavy gown. Which made her tired.
After entering the room, Raina removed the makeup from her face and sat on the couch with her legs straight.
Avery also pulled her hair out of the bun and tied it in a pony. She not only removed the makeup on her face but also removed the dress after taking a warm shower.
She also asks Raina to take a shower. She also had a set of new and comfortable clothes for Raina. But Raina said no to her.
Avery was currently in the walk-in closet and now she was about to take off a simple long skirt and a simple top to wear when her eyes went to a blue sari. Remembering the memory related to that sari, a smile came on her lips and her cheeks changed into a red shade. She touched the sari and felt the soft fabric. That sari was so soft that she wanted to fill it again on her body. And she decided to wear that sari.
Raina gasped when Avery came out of the closet wearing a blue sari.
"Ave, You are looking so beautiful.''
" It likes If I were a boy or a lesbian, I would have just promoted you."
"HO shut up Raina. don't be like that."
"Yes, I'm because you are..."
" Raina." Avery narrowed her eyes at her friend.
They both started watching TV. And finally, Max called Raina when she was started falling asleep and her eyelids were drooping down. He asked her to come to the party hall. Seeing Raina in a dropping state, Avery decided to drop her at the hall but Raina refused.
After Raina left the room, Avery decided to take a nap.

Avery listened to disturbing sounds when she was asleep. The door to her room was slightly open so that the sound was reaching her ears very easily. She gently opened her eyes.
That sound of shouting coming from downstairs.
She was also feeling thirsty and there was no water in the room so she decided to go downstairs. She leaves the room and goes to the elevator when she heard a scream.
"How can you Alex? How can you marry a girl whose father is not even alive?" Upon hearing this, the hair on her neck stood up. She knew it was Alex's father, and he was talking to Alex. plus he was talking about her.
