Chapter 73

~James POV~ She loved me, she finally said it. I felt like a kid.

A tear rolled down Averys' cheek and I kissed It away, I saw the happiness in her eyes. Just when I thought that everything was perfect, a pit of guilt started building up in my core. She didn't know the truth, the truth about the marriage, if there was any time to tell, now was it. ”Avery, there is something I need to tell you.” I saw the uncertainty in her eyes.
