Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Being a Good Bestie (7)

Actually, he had already given up. He wasn’t as thick-skinned as Avery Graham thought. After she decided to start dating and live her own life, he never thought about what to do next.

He should start his own life too. Anyway, he had always been a machine. He used to practice medicine to cope with the lingering nightmare in his heart. Now that he’s in business, he might as well fulfill his filial duties to his parents during their lifetime.

"I don’t want to be a nurse anymore. But thank you for thinking of it for me. Actually, I had many dreams when I was a child, and being a nurse was just one of them. What I’m doing now is also fulfilling my dreams." Avery suddenly said. For some reason, she felt an indescribable sadness surrounding Bernard Taylor at that moment and inexplicably didn’t want him to bear the responsibility for her anymore.

"On the other hand, it’s really a loss for many people that you’re not a doctor anymore." Avery lamented on behalf of many people. Such a good doctor not practicing medicine anymore, how could it not be a loss for both patients and the hospital?

And would the hospital really let him go so easily? They probably would try their best to keep him.

However, if he decided to leave, it’s likely that no one would be able to stop him.

"Really? I thought that in your eyes, I was just a good-for-nothing person," Bernard said with a smile.

"..." Avery pursed her lips. She never said that. How could he misunderstand it like that?

The relationship between the two, from when they first met to now, had always been confrontational. This was the first time they communicated so peacefully.

"On the weekend, I won’t be able to make it to your dinner party. I really don’t have time. I’ll probably be going abroad next Monday, so I need to prepare some things this weekend," Bernard explained the reason he declined the invitation at the party earlier.

"So soon? Have you finished all the procedures with the hospital?" Avery didn’t expect it to be so quick.

"Yes, someone will help me with it, so I don’t need to worry about it."

"Then I’ll return the money you deposited in my cake shop. How long are you going abroad? You don’t even know, right?" Avery remembered this important matter.

The money Bernard deposited in her cake shop was enough for him to eat and drink for free there for at least a whole year.

"No need. It’s not like I’m never coming back. I’ll leave it in your shop, and when I come back, I hope your cake shop is doing well. That way, I can continue to enjoy your delicious cakes." Bernard raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiling lightly without hiding anything.

"..." For a moment, Avery was stunned. She had always known that Bernard was extremely good-looking, but the word "handsome" was not enough to describe it. He was both handsome and beautiful, and no one else could combine masculinity and gentleness as harmoniously as him. "You look very good when you smile. You should smile more often."

"..." After a while, Bernard lightly answered, "Yeah."

"Does this mean we’ve reconciled? Let’s be best friends from now on," said Avery, a straightforward person. The word "best friends" slipped out thoughtlessly. Then Avery watched as Bernard’s face turned completely dark. "Uh, I mean, good friends."

"..." Bernard’s expression didn’t improve, but he didn’t lose his temper either. "I know."

This was the first time the two had such a peaceful conversation in the same space. They sat together for a while longer without anyone mentioning leaving. Avery asked cautiously, "Do you think your mom will still cause trouble for me if we’re good friends?"

Avery was really scared. If being good friends with Bernard would lead to Nancy Sallow’s dissatisfaction, then she would rather remain a stranger to Bernard.
