Mike was standing outside the guest room door. He initially heard them fighting intensely. He hesitated for a bit as to whether he should enter the room and help Avery.However, the argument lasted for less than two minutes and it was silent once more.A moment later, the guest room door opened and they came out."Are you done?" Mike scratched his head. "So quick?""Mike, we'll head back first." Avery looked like she had calmed down, but her bloodshot eyes looked serious."Oh, you guys are changing to a different arena to fight?" Mike followed them and headed out. "Avery, don't get brainwashed by him. You are a modern woman. You must stand your ground. You cannot bear such a thing. No matter how he begs you, you cannot swallow your pride! I understand men. If you were to bear with him this time, he will repeat the mistake the next time again."Avery heard Mike's nagging. She was extremely moved."Come over for dinner tonight! Lilith is back at noon." Avery changed into a lighter

"Adrian, I am an amazing model now! When I become a professional model, I will be able to make lots of money!" Lilith boasted to him and said, "I hope you'll become a normal person someday and be able to get married."Adrian's face turned red in an instant.He was too embarrassed to respond to that matter."You're a funny one, Lilith." Ben, who was next to them, could not help but laugh."Why are you still here?" Lilith immediately looked at him when she heard his voice. "Didn't you say that you want to go back and catch up on some sleep?""I can also catch up on some sleep here. I'll return after dinner." It was too fun over there, so he did not want to leave for the time being.Not long after that, Elliot came downstairs. "Elliot, your sister has brought you a gift." Ben sat on the sofa, eagerly waiting for the scene to unfold.Lilith shot a glance at him, and then took out the gift that she had bought for him from her luggage.When she was buying the gift, Ben was right ne

Avery woke up at around four in the afternoon. When she came down the stairs, everyone was looking at her. She was slightly taken aback by the attention."Why are you guys looking at me?" She touched her face. She had just woken up, so her face was a little red. She had quite a good sleep that afternoon, so she was in good spirits, and she was not as upset as before anymore.No matter what, life still had to go on for her.Also, so many friends had come to the house to visit them at that moment, so she was very happy. "Avery! I brought you a gift!" Lilith delivered the gift she had bought for Avery to her. "I did well in the preliminary round this time, so my agent gave me a bonus. This is what I got for you from the jewelry store near the airport."Avery opened the box. There were a few bracelets in there in various thicknesses, and they were all embellished with beads in various colors. All of the bracelets looked especially good when worn together on her wrist."Tha

"Avery, should I be addressing you as Mrs. Foster?" Lilith took a cherry and ate it as well. "But I feel addressing you that way makes you sound like an older person. If we were to go shopping together now, and other people saw us, they might actually think that I am older than you." Avery said, "Just call me Avery! It sounds more endearing as well.""Alright! I initially felt that it was fine for me to call you Avery. However, Ben told me on the plane to address you as Mrs. Foster after I return this time," Lilith said softly, "He always felt that he was much older, has a little more experience in life than me, and knows more than me, so he likes to lecture me on how to conduct myself in this world.""Ben is being kind. If you speak sweetly and address me as Mrs. Foster, Elliot may be able to accept you even sooner." Avery revealed Ben's intentions to her."I know. I feel that there's no need to be as sweet-tongued and as cunning as him when interacting with others. I just like c

Avery headed to the dining area when she heard what Mrs. Cooper said."Okay, stop drinking," She said to Mike, "You should head home."When Ben heard that, he immediately stood up. "Didn't you say there was only one driver? Get the driver to send me back first! I'm extremely sleepy! I have to go home already."Ben got up and rushed out of the dining hall. Mike chased after him with reddened eyes."Send me home first! I don't want to stay here! I'm not in Avery's house!""First come, first served, do you understand? I said it first, so send me back first!" Ben pushed Mike away with force.Mike had drunk too much. He fumbled and almost fell.Avery immediately held onto him. "I'll send you back.""Avery, you treat me the best." Mike put his hand on her shoulders and moved.Behind them, Elliot looked at them with reddened eyes. Elliot drank the least, but his alcohol tolerance was the worst, so he was even more drunk compared to Mike and Ben.When Avery was about to leave with Mi

"If the two of you are going to fight, do it outside! Don't be rowdy around my mother!" Hayden helped Avery to the master bedroom.Mrs. Scarlet immediately called a bodyguard to bring Mike away.Elliot had sobered up by the time Mike was shown the door.He stood at the door of the master bedroom and did not dare to go in.Avery sat beside the bed and Hayden was checking if she was injured."I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." Avery was afraid that her son would be worried, so she downplayed the situation. "The two of them quarreled because they drank too much. Don't worry about them.""I could care less about them!" Hayden said angrily. "Let's go home tomorrow, Mommy. I don't want to stay here.""Okay," Avery agreed at once.The punch Elliot aimed toward Mike landed on the left side of Avery's head. Her face was not injured, and any injury—if present—was blocked by her hair at the site of the punch."Did Layla wake up?" she asked worriedly."No. She's still sound asleep," Hay

Elliot could drink as much as he wanted and meet whoever he wanted.Avery just needed to calm down for a moment and figure out her future direction."Let's not be like this, Avery." He frowned unhappily at her remark."Go and shower. If there's anything we need to talk about, we'll do it tomorrow." She did not want to have that conversation, since she was having a headache and he was drunk. He might have been a little sober at that moment, but his mind was almost certainly not lucid.It was not like they could reach a conclusion if they went ahead with the conversation.He sat beside the bed and did not answer her.He wanted to talk to her but eventually decided against it when he saw that she had closed her eyes.He drank too much that night, and his body was still under the influence of alcohol even though his mind was sober.He felt very dizzy.By the time her breathing was even, he lay down beside her.There was still uneasiness in his heart after he lay down, so after a

After she chatted with Tammy, she searched for Chad's chat and sent him a message. [Chad, Mike drank too much tonight. When do you think you'll be able to head home?]Chad replied within seconds. [I'll be back tomorrow morning. He'll usually just sleep if he's drunk, so don't worry about him.][Okay. Happy new year!]Chad looked at her wishes and wanted to reply the same, but for some reason, he could not bring himself to type it out.After a while, he replied: [Are you going to get a divorce? I know that it is not good to say this during the new year, but from what I understand of your character, you won't let yourself be wronged.][I haven't thought about it yet.][Then think about it carefully. And then think some more. If you insist on getting a divorce, you won't be able to get child custody, and your company, well...]Chad was reminding her, not threatening her.[I'll think carefully.][Whatever happens between you and my boss, just remember that we'll always be friends,
