"Thank you!" Ms. Tessa said, kissing Landon on the cheek in excitement.

Landon chuckled and teased, "It's not that big a deal, but with how excited you are, I almost thought you were the one who needed it."

Ms. Tessa froze for a split second before quickly regaining her composure. "I'm just happy for Grandpa. He's wanted a complete copy of that ancient text for a long time."

Of course, Landon noticed that brief hesitation. He didn't know what she was hiding, but anything she asked for, he'd support without question. After all, he'd ended up with a little girlfriend full of secrets. What choice did he have but to indulge her?

"If you ever need help, come to me. It makes me happy to be able to help you, understand?" Landon said seriously. "And if you still can't figure out what's going on with Avery, come to me.

"I know. I'll try talking to him first. If anything comes up, I'll let you know."

But over the next few days, Ms. Tessa didn't get a chance to see Avery at all.

The Avery band's workload had also eased up significantly during that time. The members finally had a chance to rest properly. And after catching up on sleep, they bounced back quickly-after all, they were still

young.

Their new album was a huge success.

Now, they were closer than ever to achieving their dreams, and Stephen was clearly thrilled.

"Captain, I think things are really great right now! I really hope this can go on," Stephen said enthusiastically as they grilled on the rooftop of the villa. "It's such a shame Ms. Tessa couldn't make it. A moment like this doesn't feel complete without her."

"Yeah, things were so rough back when we were at Tianle. Even then, we didn't give up. quit now."

There's no way

"Captain, what's on your mind? Why aren't you saying anything?" Stephen nudged him with his elbow when he saw him spacing out.

Avery knew this moment would come. He knew that eventually, the topic would fall to him. But how could he say it? They trusted him so much. How could he let them down?

What would they think if he told them now?

He didn't even want to imagine it.

“Captain, are you upset about something? If you're not feeling great, let's just ask Ms. Tessa for time of...d all go somewhere to relax."

The captain was their rock. If he wasn't okay, everyone would be shaken.

"I'm leaving the Avery band," Avery said at last. No matter how painful it was, he had to say it.

The words had barely left his mouth when the whole rooftop went silent.

Stephen rubbed his ear. "Captain, what did you just say? Can you say that again? I honestly didn't catch it."

He was still smiling.

"No, you all heard me," Avery said slowly. "And I'll say it again. I, Avery, am leaving the Avery band. I won't be continuing with you."

This time, Stephen could no longer pretend nothing had happened.noveldrama

"Since when? How long have you been planning this? How could you just drop this on us? We've been together for so long, and now you're just quitting?" Stephen's voice grew louder, his emotions more and more intense.

Were all those years of brotherhood meaningless?

Why leave without a word?

"Stephen, calm down. Everyone has their own path to walk. Mine just ends here. I really am sorry to all of you."

"Avery!" Stephen shouted, voice cracking. "Do you even know what you're saying? Do you realize how hard we've fought to get where we are today? I was nearly beaten to death for this band, and I never gave up. And now you, our captain, say you're giving up? If you walk away, what happens to us?"

Had he even thought about that?

Seeing Stephen like this made Avery feel awful.

He reached out, wanting to pat him on the shoulder, but Stephen stepped back sharply.

"If you want to leave, fine. But I want to know why." Stephen's voice trembled. When Ms. Tessa had left, it had been hard enough to accept. And now, even their captain wanted out?
