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

Of course, Avery would not answer that question.However, she could not reveal that she was personally aversed to that line of questioning. "You should not ask me questions about him. The sale of your magazine might be affected if you continue to pursue this topic," she said, hinting at Elliot's wrath. Her answer made the journalists realize the foolish, gossipy nature of their questions. "Alright, Miss Tate. You have studied medicine. Why did you venture into business after your graduation? What motivated you to pursue business?" Avery furrowed her brows slightly at that question.If she were to answer it seriously, it would take more than a day and a night for her to finish her story.She planned to deal with them as simply as possible. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, an insuppressible, nausea rose within her.She covered her mouth with one hand and rushed to the washroom outside."Miss Tate! What's wrong?" Both journalists rushed after her, concern lac

Avery pulled her phone further away from her ear as her eardrums hurt a little."Avery Tate! Don't play dead! Hurry up and tell me! Whose child you are carrying? Ah! I am going crazy! Where are you now?! I'll come to you, and you will tell me everything— face-to-face!" Avery could not help but laugh at Tammy's reaction."I am at home. Don't come looking for me. I'm going to rest after I end this call," Avery said lazily. "Whose child do you think I'm carrying… I'm telling you this because my morning sickness is starting to get worse now. Even eating has become a problem, let alone drinking… If someone were to persuade me to drink at your wedding, I'll need you to help me get out of the situation."They had previously agreed to have fun together at Tammy's bachelorette party the night before her wedding.Once the group had gathered, it was a guarantee that they would start drinking. She would be avoiding a lot of trouble by telling Tammy her situation beforehand."You're pregnant
