After Sleeping with My Childhood Prince, I Kicked Him Out from My World

Early the next morning, the Collins family grabbed their luggage ready to go skiing.

Avery felt relieved when she didn't see Ethan outside and pushed her suitcase toward the trunk.

She had just loaded everything when her dad made a surprised sound.

"What's this? Avery did you leave someone's birthday gift by the door?"

She turned to see the familiar box and frowned.

She quickly handed the box to their housekeeper and gave him the Miller's address in New York asking him to mail it back.

Her parents grew more curious and kept asking about the gift during the drive.

Unable to keep lying Avery confessed and mentioned the birthday wishes from Mr. and Mrs. Miller.

The car fell silent for a moment. Her father nodded firmly.

"Your mom and I have been wondering how to handle the Millers after everything. You're our

daughter so we'll always take your side no matter what. We agreed that if you wanted to cut ties

with the whole Miller family. Being thousands of miles away makes it easier, though."

"But since you've decided to just cut Ethan out while staying civil with his parents. They're our old friends after all. We're glad you have your own perspective and aren't blaming innocent people."

This was the first time since everything came out that the family sat together and calmly discussed

the situation.

Having her parents' support filled Avery with warmth.

She snuggled against her mom chatting about their upcoming plans her mood lightening again.

The family cheered up and headed to the ski resort.

Avery fell several times her first runs out of practice.

Though she improved as the day went on her legs hurt when she came down the mountain.

Back at the hotel she gasped seeing her bruised and swollen knees and immediately searched for a nearby pharmacy.

The closest pharmacy was over thirty miles away.

Looking at the distance and the darkening sky outside, she grew worried.

After thinking it over she decided to buy medicine tomorrow and just use ice packs tonight.

Avery limped to her door heading for the café after changing into clean clothes.

The elevator had just stopped on her floor.

She looked up and locked eyes with a familiar face.

Ethan. Again.

Her expression immediately turned cold.

"You're following me around!"

Not a question but an accusation.

Seeing her anger Ethan panicked stumbling over his words.

"Avery I just... I was just worried about you..."

"Worried? My parents are right here with me. What would you worry about? And why should you even care? Don't try to make stalking Sound romantic."

Ethan was left speechless.

When she entered the elevator he quickly followed.noveldrama

I went to get medicine. Don't mess around with your health okay?"

Hearing this from Ethan made Avery want to laugh.

The scar from hitting her head in the car accident was still visible. The gash on her arm from the chandelier was four inches long. The heels of her feet had calluses from being rubbed raw by a hundred pairs of high heels.

She'd suffered all those injuries because of him and he never offered a single word of comfort. He

completely ignored her pain.

Now she had a minor injury that wasn't even bleeding and suddenly he was playing the concerned

lover.

So she didn't even look at the bag he offered. The moment the elevator doors opened she walked

away.

Her complete dismissal stabbed Ethan's heart.

But he wasn't ready to give up and followed right behind her.

When he saw her order a cup of ice he guessed her intentions and grew more anxious.

"Avery I bought medicine! Why won't you accept my help? Do you have to be this stubborn with

me?"

Avery let out a soft laugh her eyes utterly determined.

"Stubborn? We don't have any relationship for me to be stubborn about. I simply don't want

anything to do with you."
