Elliot could see that Avery's life was good.…After Avery got in the car, she took a flask out of her bag, twisted the cap open, and drank some warm water.Mike waited for her to finish drinking before driving."What are we having for lunch?" he asked.Avery said, "It's not lunch yet, and I'm not hungry."Mike replied, "We can still decide where we're going for lunch now." Avery pondered for a few seconds before saying, "We'll have lunch together just this once, but I'll take care of my own lunch next time." Mike had to have meat for every meal. Avery was not interested in meat at all at that moment. Prior to finding out about her pregnancy, she had a good appetite, so if Mike saw her aversion to meat, he would definitely grow suspicious. "Are you trying to lose weight?" Mike asked suspiciously. "Avery, stop doing that to yourself! You're not becoming a celebrity. You don't have to compare yourself to them!"Avery clutched her forehead. She knew Mike would definitely make
However, Avery did not want to explain herself."Chad, tell your boss that Avery has gotten together with Eric!" Mike wanted Elliot to give up and stop harping on Avery.When Avery heard what nonsense Mike was spewing, she immediately snatched his bluetooth earpiece from him."Chad, don't listen to him," Avery said, "Eric and I are partners. Also, your boss was the one who returned the sweater to me, so I will wear it whenever I want to. In the future, if I ever get together with someone, I might wear this to the date too."Chad was speechless. Mike, that idiot! How dare he lie and tell him that he was not with Avery.Other than awkward, there was nothing else to describe his current situation."Miss Tate, it's your clothes. You can wear them whenever you want to. I'm just complaining to Mike. I don't mean anything by it. I have already realized that Mr. Foster is no saint. He has his flaws too. I will constantly remind myself of that in the future," Chad said."Hmm. Did he go
Elliot had just finished showering. Beads of water dripped from his hair. He had a dry towel in one hand and his phone in the other.When he saw the news, he tapped it with trembling fingers. After he read the Tweet, his eyes grew dark and cold! Since when had Avery accepted Eric's token of affection? Had she come over yesterday to tell him that she was in a relationship? Was there the need to do so?He threw his phone at the cabinet! It slammed into the cabinet with a loud bang.Wanda was enjoying a glass of wine in her European mansion. She swirled the wine in her glass. She looked at the news on the internet smugly before taking a sip of red wine."Do you know what celebrities are most afraid of?" Wanda said in Zoe's direction. "They're most afraid of losing fans. What would make a celebrity lose fans? The announcement of a new relationship. No matter how famous Eric is, he can't escape this!"Zoe admired Wanda."This would definitely hurt Eric. No matter how he tries to
"How manipulative! See, I said he was interested in you!" Mike was sitting next to her. He had clearly heard their conversation. "But if you're interested in him too, you'll be an item by tonight!""He is too young. Young people are impulsive," Avery explained. "I was once young too."Mike said, "I know! You were impulsive when it came to Elliot, and now you're paying the price." Avery was speechless."Avery, stop looking at Twitter." Mike touched her head. "The people on the internet are so rude! They say very harsh words! Don't take their words to heart.""I'm not looking at Twitter," Avery said calmly. "Even if I was, it would not affect me. I can still take it.""That's great!" Mike looked at the time. "Chad asked me out for supper. I'll head out first! Call me if there's anything.""Go! Don’t drink!""I know. I promise you I won't drink!" Mike said before grabbing his car keys and heading out.Avery turned off the lights in the children's room at nine. When Layla heard A
Avery did not see Elliot's message immediately because she had gone to bed after seeing Eric's Tweet.Early pregnancy was usually associated with nausea and drowsiness. For the past two days, she had found it easier to fall asleep. Usually, when she could not sleep, she had to rely on melatonin to get a good night's sleep.However, that night, she fell asleep right after lying down. She slept all the way until five in the morning the next day.If it were not for her urge to pee, she would still have been asleep.Once she woke up, the first thing she did was to take her phone and check the time. Instead, of seeing the time, she saw Elliot's message. She was stunned. She quickly took her phone with her to the washroom.Elliot's message read, [Were you looking for me yesterday?]'Yesterday?' Was it not the day before?!' Avery thought carefully.'Hold up!' she thought. She looked at the time he sent the message. He had sent the message to her at ten thirty! Avery felt chills run
As the President of the Sterling Group, Elliot felt terrible. First, she broke his heart, then he did not get an immediate reply to his text despite him initiating the conversation. He was in an utterly foul mood! He looked at her message with red eyes. He quickly typed on his phone, [I bet you're feeling really smug now, huh?] Avery was speechless. 'What a heated message,' she mused.Avery, however, took into consideration the fact that he had not slept the entire night. It was only normal that he would throw a fit.Avery calmed herself down and patiently replied. [It's almost six. Go to bed! I'm going to sleep for a while longer too.]After this message, Avery lay down once again.Elliot did not send her a reply. He had lost this round! In relationships, the person who first showed weakness would always be at a severe disadvantage!At seven thirty in the morning, the gates of Elliot's mansion slowly opened. Mrs. Scarlet was carrying her bag. She was about to leave. Shea l
Avery was at Tate industries, completing some work. She could not help but occasionally glance at her phone. She tapped on her chat history with Elliot and looked through it a few times.Why had he texted her the night before?She had gone looking for him the day before yesterday. He should have found out about it on the night itself. Why had he not contacted her that night?She then clicked on scandal about her and Eric. She could not help but think that Elliot had taken the initiative to text her because he had seen the article about her and Eric.What kind of attitude did he have toward her at the moment?If he had seen the news and hated her to death, he would probably not have contacted her.He had contacted her last night, but he did not mention the past. Had he already gotten over it?It was impossible!He had been devastatingly hurt, so how could he have already gotten over it? She furrowed her brows. Her mind was a mess.If he had not messaged her last night, sh
Avery said sheepishly, "Is that so? You must just be imagining things."After she had happily eaten her fill, she took out her phone and sent a message to Eric, asking him if he was free on the first of May.She did not expect him to reply so quickly.After she had explained the matter to him, he quickly agreed."Tammy, Eric said he will be attending your wedding on the first of May."As soon as she finished her announcement, the girls broke into a cacophony of cheers!Tammy, Lisa, and Ellie were all crazily excited.In just a blink of an eye, Tammy told Jun the news.Jun then told Ben the news."My wife said Avery was the one who invited him," Jun said resentfully. "I suddenly don't want to get married anymore. My wife is a fan of Eric's… a crazy fan of Eric's. Her good friends as well… They are all his fans. When the time comes, who would be looking at me? All of them would be looking at Eric! As the groom, all my thunder will be stolen. This is completely different from wha
