Later, Avery was spoiled by Darlene and became pickier and pickier. Therefore, all of Avery’s meals were taken care of by Darlene alone, and she simply became the only servant in his house. Darlene served Avery like serving an Emperor. She washed clothes and cooked during the day, and warmed his bed at night. Avery said that Darlene had racked her brains and tortured Vivian for three years. Did he think that Darlene would have time? The phone rang and interrupted Darlene’s thoughts.
