At night, Chad passed by the winery and bought a bottle of expensive wine to go home. When he got home, he called Mike and told him to come back early for a drink. Mike was addicted to alcohol, and as long as he invited him to drink, he would never refuse. Half an hour later, Mike came to Chad's house. "What's the matter today? Why the invitation?" Mike was in high spirits. Usually, he was the one who always took the initiative to call Chad to drink, but Chad hardly ever volunteered. "I'm having a good day, but the same cannot be said for you." Chad sat him down and went straight to the point. "Didn't you always say that my boss was a scumbag? I was almost persuaded by you, and I thought the same. But today, my boss showed me proof!" "What proof?" The smile on Mike's face disappeared. He looked at him solemnly and reached out to him. "Show me." "Let's do some quick revision." Chad sat down in the dining chair and poured him a glass of wine, "Didn't you tell me b
He knew that Chad had a tendency to praise Elliot even if he didn't deserve it. Chad turned on his phone and turned on the recording. "Why is there no sound from Avery at the end?" Mike finished listening to the recording and asked questions. "I felt strange when I listened to this recording. I asked my boss, and he said that Avery might not have been listening to her mobile phone at the time." "You can't just believe what he says. You send me the recording, I'll show it to Avery later, and I'll ask her if the recording has been revised." Mike said. Chad hesitated. "I secretly copied the recording. My boss doesn't want people to hear this recording." Mike teased him, "If the recording is fine, why is he feeling guilty? Suppose the recording is genuine, and he didn't manually delete what Avery said later. In that case, Avery couldn't possibly hate him so much." Mike's words made Chad indignant. He sent the recording to Mike. "You take it to Avery when you feel
"Hahaha! I am laughing so hard!" Mike sincerely thought it was funny, so he slapped the table and wiped his nose. "Tate Industries' new building in Bridgedale is just across the street from where Alpha Technologies previously was!" Chad sweated a little. "I know. Natalie chose three buildings, and finally everyone voted for the current building. That place had the best location." "That's enough trouble for Avery. Instead of worrying about her, you might as well worry about your boss." Mike teased. "What do I have to worry about?" Chad couldn't understand Mike, but he remembered that when he saw Avery last night, Avery looked peaceful and content, and it seemed that she was not affected by the divorce, " Avery's mental state looks pretty good." "That's right! So instead of worrying about her, it would be better to worry about your boss." Mike took a sip of his wine and started to get into the mood. "Let's not talk about my boss. Let's talk about you!" Chad said, "You don't pla
She hadn't eaten dinner yet, so it was no wonder there was a cramp in her stomach. She came out of the room clutching her stomach when she heard the doorbell ring. She walked to the door and opened it. Tammy had brought her baby daughter Tiffany to visit her. Robert was here too! "Avery, I immediately brought the two children to see you once I heard you were back!" After Tammy brought the two children into the house, she looked at Avery. "How do you manage to keep your slim figure? I envy your physique! Is your hair color the one I recommended to you last time?" "It's not quite the same hair color you recommended, but it's not very different." Avery was happy, and the pain in her stomach was relieved. "Your hair color is more beautiful," Tammy said, and then she remembered the two children. "Mrs. Cooper knew I was going to bring Robert to your place, but she didn't say anything." "I met Elliot last night." Avery looked at Robert and Tiffany with a gentle smile, "If I knew
"Mom..." Robert immediately walked in front of Avery, raised his head, and glared at Tiffany with his big black, shiny eyes, "This is my mother, not yours!" "When your mother talked to you just now, you hid behind Tiffany!" Tammy came over and laughed, "Since you won't let your mother hug Tiffany, you can't hide behind her." Tammy was afraid of making Robert cry, so she took her daughter from Avery's arms. Avery didn't expect Robert to be so jealous. It was evident that he didn't seem to want her to hug someone else. "Robert, can mother hug you?" Avery squatted in front of her son and looked at him tenderly, "Mom wants to hug you. Just like how Tiffany's mother hugged her." Robert didn't know what to do. He finally looked up at Avery and stretched out his little arms. Seeing this, Avery immediately picked up her son. At this moment, Avery felt as if she owned the whole world. Today was the second time the mother and son had met since she returned to Aryadelle. Unexp
"What if your father doesn't welcome your mother to your house for dinner?" Tammy burst into laughter, "You are not afraid of your father spanking you for this, are you?" "No!" Robert's face wrinkled, and his voice was clear. "Dad won't hit me!" "But your father doesn't want you to take your mother home for dinner." "Dad does!" Robert felt that he knew exactly what his father wanted. He talked to his father yesterday, and his father had already allowed his mother to go to their house to sleep. Eating a meal there was out of question. Tammy turned back and forth with a smile and looked at Avery. "Avery, do you want to accept your son's invitation to go to your ex-husband's house for dinner? If you want to go, I can cancel the takeout." Avery shook her head gently without thinking. "Robert, thank you very much for inviting your mother to dinner at your house, but Tammy has already helped me to buy food." She explained to Robert patiently. Robert lowered his eyes, thought fo
"Who is it?" Tammy saw that Avery was looking at her phone, so she immediately leaned in front of her and glanced at her phone screen. After seeing the words 'Elliot', Tammy sighed. "Didn't you two cut off contact with each other? Did you start contacting each other again after you returned to Aryadelle?" "To be exact, I contacted him just now." "Hahaha, I didn't expect to be caught up in the scene. Could you show me what he sent you?" Tammy didn't consider herself an outsider. Avery didn't treat her as an outsider either. Tammy took her mobile phone and was stunned when she saw the two text messages sent by Elliot. "Why does he suddenly want to pay you alimony? Did you two meet yesterday to discuss this?" Avery shook her head. "No. We met yesterday because Layla had a little problem with her work. Apart from that, we didn't talk about anything else." "Was he suddenly feeling kind? Or does he think you look shabby?" Tammy looked at Avery. Avery wore home clothes and h
The takeaway that Tammy ordered for her had arrived, but she hadn't had time to eat because of everything that had happened. She was starving. She walked to the dining room with the takeaway and ate it happily. She knew that when she was too hungry, she could not eat too hastily, otherwise it would hurt her stomach. She still did anyway. She was probably too hungry, and her head was dizzy, so she gulped down several mouthfuls of food in rapid succession. If it weren't for the discomfort in her stomach, she would have gone on. She put a hand on her stomach and got some water to drink. After a while, her phone rang. She returned to the dining room, put down her water glass, and picked up her phone. The call was from Tammy. "Avery, Jun sent me a picture just now. It's about Elliot. Look! I think it would be horrible if he did this!" Tammy was excited as if Elliot had done some nasty stuff. After hanging up, Avery clicked on the picture sent by Tammy. The picture was
