Chapter 15: Avery Ye's concerns

Avery Ye called her third aunt and finally confirmed that the man in front of her was her third aunt's tenant, the one who was going to live in the same house with her! After Avery learned about this situation, she naturally refused wholeheartedly. She was not used to living with a stranger. However, Avery Ye's third aunt repeatedly assured her about George's character on the phone. Moreover, it was safer to live outside with a man with her. At the same time, there was someone who could do any physical work or help out. Avery's aunt reminded her about the most important thing: if she didn't live here, her parents would not agree to her traveling so far to go to school alone. Then, she would have to go back to the imperial capital, and live under her parents' noses again. Avery hesitated and eventually compromised. After finally leaving her parents, she didn't want to go back. "Come on in first." George reached out to take the luggage from Avery. "What are you doing?" George's actions startled Avery, who subconsciously took two steps back. She looked at George with a wary expression, fearing that he would do something to take advantage of her. "I just want to help you carry your luggage." George shrugged, a little speechless at Avery's exaggerated behaviour. However, it was understandable. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other and they were of the opposite sex. Avery was also doing this to protect herself. "If you don't want me to, you can carry it yourself." George took a few steps back to make room for Avery to come in. Avery hesitated for a while, then walked in with her luggage. Since her aunt had repeatedly promised, she could believe him for the time being. However, Avery did not completely relax. If she found out that George behaved inappropriately, she would tell her aunt right away. In that case, she would have an excuse not to live here. When Avery came in, George closed the door. The moment the door was closed, Avery's heart skipped a beat. Although she had such intentions, she was a girl after all. If George really did anything, she wouldn't be able to fight back at all. By then, even if George's true colours were exposed, it would be of no use. Avery regretted coming in. She looked at George a little nervously. George didn't seem to notice anything strange about Avery, and said, "Take a seat first, I have two more dishes to prepare, but we will be able to eat soon." Avery looked in slight surprise as George was walking back to the kitchen. She was too nervous earlier and didn't notice the faint fragrance of food in the room. "He can cook? He shouldn't be a bad person, right?" Avery sat there and thought wildly. She didn't snap out of her thoughts until George brought all the food. "Aunty Wang asked me to take good care of you. I don't know what you like to eat, so I made these dishes. I don't know if they'd suit your appetite." George sat down and said. "I'm not hungry." Avery didn't want to share a room with George Wu, and naturally she didn't want to have a good relationship with him. However, as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a slight growl. Although the sound was very soft, there were only two people at the table. Hence, both George and her could hear it clearly. Avery's face immediately turned red. The journey from imperial capital was quite a distance. Hence, Avery was indeed a little hungry and tired at this time. George was laughing internally, but it didn't show on his face. He said, "Just eat whatever you want. I can't finish all these dishes by myself. Just think of it as doing me a favour and don't waste it." Avery hesitated for a moment. She was indeed hungry, and the food smelled delicious. Finally, she said, "Okay, since it's your treat, I'll oblige." "Well, yes, I do need your help." George said. The little girl was pretty concerned about her reputation. With George's words, Avery started to eat, and the taste turned out to be pretty good. Seeing Avery take a bite, George also started eating. While eating, he said, "There are two empty rooms here. You can choose one later and clean it up briefly. I will accompany you to buy daily necessities in the afternoon. " "No, I can go by myself, I don't need you to accompany me." Avery said quickly. She didn't have the habit of shopping with the opposite sex, let alone a stranger she had just met for less than a day. "This is the task assigned by Aunty Wang." George said, "Besides, can you carry so many things by yourself?" "Don't worry about my aunt, I won't say anything." Avery knew that her aunt couldn't make it because she had something to do, so she must have asked the tenant to take care of herself, "Besides, I don't like to shop together with others." Seeing Avery's insistence, George couldn't say anything. If he pressed too hard, the other party might misunderstand. "Okay, if you need help, you can tell me." George said. Avery didn't say anything, but she knew it was impossible for her to ask him for help. She didn't want to live with a stranger of the opposite sex at all. She had to find a reason to accuse George Wu as soon as possible to make her aunt realise that it was not safe for her to live with this man. In this case, her aunt would not let herself live with him. George would never have thought that this girl, who was still eating the food he cooked and who just said she would not complain to her aunt, was already thinking about how to slander his image. If George knew about it, he would definitely take her bowl and chopsticks away from her. Sure enough, you can't believe what a beautiful woman says. After the meal, George cleared the table. Avery chose a room, then went in and locked the door from the inside, as if she was afraid that George would break in. George just smiled when he saw this scene, but he didn't care much about it. In the afternoon, Avery went out alone, and as expected, she didn't ask George to follow her. George also felt relaxed. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but she didn't want him to. Hence, George stayed at home and sorted out the ingredients needed to set up his stall in the evening. It wasn't until evening that Avery came back with a lot of bags in her hands. She was very tired and looked out of breath. George quickly stepped forward to help, but Avery refused directly, "No need, I'll handle it myself." After saying that, she took her things and returned to her room with some difficulty. Then, as expected, George heard the sound of the door being locked again. George shrugged and returned to his seat to work again. After Avery dropped her things in the room, she laid on the bed, breathing heavily. She was very tired from shopping this afternoon, but even so, she didn't want George's help. "Hmph, there's no way I'll let you enter my room!"
