"Mr. Foster, you are finally awake! I will go get the doctor." Natalie had stayed awake the whole night watching over Elliot.The doctor had told her that Elliot had lost consciousness because of his stomach condition. Though it was not critical, he was to pay closer attention to certain details in everyday life."Why are you here?" Elliot asked in a hoarse voice as he looked around the room, taking note that he was in a hospital."Mr. Foster, your stomach acted up, and you passed out in your hotel room," Natalie explained.The memories slowly came back to him. He had drunk half a bottle of ice water, which agitated his stomach. He had thought that the pain would pass in time, but he had passed out in the end."Who called you?" Elliot asked warily."Chad called you and you didn't pick up, so he called me instead and asked me to look for you," said Natalie, continuing her explanation. "He told me where you stay. The hotel manager didn't want to open the door to your room without y

"Eric is probably trying to help Lilith. Anyone with a brain could figure that out. Eric is famous in Bridgedale, and Lilith is just a model who has only started working half a year ago. She might have gathered a reputation for herself, but she hasn't made it yet. If Eric works with her, her fame would rise."Avery nodded."Has Elliot called you?" Mike asked."No," she said, before correcting herself, "He did yesterday morning, but my phone was off at the time.""Do not call him back. I told him off yesterday, and he was so pissed off that he hung up right away. If you contact him, he is bound to be really rude.""Yeah."In the afternoon, Eric arrived in Bridgedale and moved into Avery's house with his luggage right away as he was worried about the condition of her eyes."I am much better now. I called Layla yesterday." Avery served him snacks and said, "I can take care of myself now.""Don't listen to her. Right now, she can only see you but not me," said Mike, who sat a littl

Avery did not argue. There was no point in arguing about this, after all.At five in the evening, Mike called Eric and told him to take Avery to the restaurant that he had booked.After the call, Eric extended his arm to Avery and headed outside with her."Where is the nurse?" he asked. "Are you really okay without the nurse?""She has some family business to handle. Besides, my eyes will only get better from now on, so I paid her a sum of money and told her to go home.""You should be fine if you stay home. Don't go outside on your own, though.""Yeah."The two arrived at the luxurious restaurant Mike had reserved.There were not many guests at the time, and Mike had booked a table by the window.He had wanted to reserve a private room, but they were fully booked for the night."I used to come here with Mike all the time because they cook authentic Aryadelle cuisine here," Avery explained."I heard about this place before, but I've never been here. I don't really like dinin

"Crap! They are feeding each other in public... How bold! Isn't he worried that someone would take photos of them?""I'm really curious about what his girlfriend looks like. She seems… plain from the back.""I will pretend to walk past them and check his girlfriend out." One of the women stood up. "I can't accept that Eric is dating someone unless his girlfriend is really pretty..."With that, the woman walked past Eric and Avery and was stunned when she saw Avery's face."This woman... Why does she look... exactly like Avery Tate?!" the woman thought.Avery did not want Eric to spoon-feed her, but Eric insisted out of concern that she could not see clearly. After being fed a few spoonfuls of food, she asked that he simply place the food onto her plate."Eric, it's almost dinner time now. There will be more and more customers coming in here. You should be more mindful of your image," she said and moved further into the couch to distance herself from him."This is Bridgedale. Not

In the photo, Eric was sitting extremely close to Avery and was spoon-feeding her."Ha! I finally get what she insists on getting a divorce and has been so heartless towards me and the kids," Elliot thought, "So it's because she's dating Eric!""Mr. Foster, don't block Avery now!" Chad had thought that Elliot was blocking Avery's contact by his expression and said, "No matter what, she is still the mother of your children. You will still need to contact one another over matters concerning the kids."The veins on Elliot's forehead popped in rage as he gritted out, "Thank you for reminding me."Chad stared at him in shock. "Since we are divorced, I have no right to interfere with her life any longer. She is free to be with anyone she wants! I don't care! A woman who would fall out of love so easily is not worthy of my love!" Elliot barked as he moved his trembling finger toward the contact list on his phone and blacklisted Avery's number.Chad gaped at Elliot's reaction. He had co

"Eric, are you leaving tomorrow?" Lilith poured wine for the man next to her.Eric's manager was present as well. The manager had told Eric not to drink, but Eric was in a pleasant mood and insisted on having a glass."I need to go back to my hectic schedule again starting tomorrow. I refuse to go back if you won't let me drink," said Eric, threatening his manager."Aren't you worried that your face will look bloated tomorrow?" The manager sighed."I'll be spending the whole day on the plane tomorrow, so no." Eric raised his glass and took a sip."Avery, do something. Eric can't drink." Helpless, the manager sought help from Avery.Avery did not want to force Eric into anything and said, "Just let him drink if he doesn't have work tomorrow! It's fine as long as he doesn't drink too much.""See? Avery says it's fine." Eric's lips curled into a triumphant smile.Lilith poured herself a glass of wine and raised her glass at Eric. "Eric, thank you so much for flying here to help me

Instantly, silence fell over the table."Lilith, we are here today to celebrate you. We don't need to talk about anything else," Avery said calmly. Elliot had mentioned that he would destroy Alpha Technologies before and giving money to Natalie was only the beginning of his plan.Mike, too, remained composed as he had already ripped into Elliot over this. He no longer wanted to waste any more time on Elliot."Don't look so grim, y'all, it's not like the world is ending! Do you have so little trust in me and Avery?" Mike raised his glass. "C'mon. Let's cheer and wish Lilith success in becoming a supermodel soon! Buy us dinner at a more expensive place next time!"Lilith flushed. "Even if I become a supermodel, I wouldn't know where to take you. I don't know any place that's more luxurious than this restaurant.""It's fine, I will book the place. You just worry about the bill," Mike teased and urged the others to drink.The mood instantly lightened up."Avery, don't take this the

The two spoke at the same time and stopped as the car moved forward."You go first," Mike said."Hayden is busy, and I don't think he can take it any longer. He's still a child, after all." Avery had wanted to ask Hayden to join them for dinner, but Hayden had told her that he could not make it at the last minute."Just talk to him while he is on break, and set a curfew for him." Mike agreed that Hayden had been working himself to the ground recently, and he knew why. Hayden had witnessed all the things Elliot had been doing to Avery and he held a grudge against Elliot.Hayden had a strong and proud personality and was definitely planning to counter Elliot's move."Yeah," Avery agreed and asked, "What were you going to say?"Mike shook his head. "Nothing much. I just think that it's a good thing that all cards are on the table with Elliot. I don't want to waste my time yelling at him anymore."Avery glanced at the neon lights on the street outside the window. "We don't really
