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

Ben was quite surprised by Elliot's answer."You've thought it through?" Ben teased. "You should have long come to your senses. Do you know what she said to Chad? She said that since you returned her sweater, she would wear it whenever she liked. She's right, but she also said that she might wear it on a date in the future."Elliot's knuckles, gripped around his utensils, turned white."Do you think I care?"Ben said, "I'm trying to make you forget about her.""Then why bring her up?" He swept his cold gaze over Ben. "Don't mention her anymore. I'm not interested.""That's great! I was worried you still weren’t over her,” Ben sighed in relief. "Too bad you can't drink. I'll drink alone."Ben walked over to the small bar and picked up a bottle of wine. Elliot soon finished his meal. He put down his utensils and left the dining hall.Ben was holding a glass of wine. He was unhappy. "Hey! Come talk to me! It's no fun eating alone!"Elliot walked to Shea's room. He had not slept t

Once the call connected, Elliot briefed the family doctor on Shea's condition and asked, "Is it true that she can recover by herself without the need for further surgery?"On the other end, the family doctor did not dare make any guarantees. "It's a good thing, but I can't say for sure if she will continue to recover. One thing that's certain is that going through with further surgery will damage her body."Elliot was aware of that. He had taken Shea to other doctors after the two craniotomies Zoe had performed on her. Shea had gone through a couple of other procedures since then, so Elliot was a little uncertain what to do next right now."Mr. Foster, have you consulted Dr. Sanford?" the family doctor asked."No.""Oh… If you don't plan on letting Dr. Sanford continue Shea's treatment, perhaps you could try asking Avery Tate. I had a look at Eric Santos's performance after he returned from his break, and he is doing great… Apart from not being able to dance like he did before, he

Tammy helped Avery into the car, and Mike followed closely behind to lecture, "Try talking some sense into her, Tammy! She refuses to eat because she is on a diet! It's not right, but she doesn't even recognize the severity of the issue! Look at how thin she's gotten! She used to take walks around the area, and now she can’t even move…"Tammy patted Mike on the shoulder. "I'll talk to her. Don't worry. She wants to go on a diet now, but maybe she will change her mind after a while.""Oh… Why didn't you guys invite me out as well today?" Mike was jealous."Because you need to take care of the kids!" Tammy said.Mike was speechless.Once Tammy was inside the car, she waved goodbye to Mike. She closed the car door and took off.Avery lay down in the backseat and asked, "Did you invite Chad?""Why would I? He is Elliot's assistant… I didn't invite anyone related to Elliot, including Jun's senior, Ben."Avery could not help but chuckle."It's not entirely for you… I just don't like
Chapter 443
Intrigued by Avery, Ben took a moment to think before sending a message to Jun.[Snap a photo from the front and send it to me.][You can't be thinking of sending it to Elliot, can you?][Hurry up!] commanded Ben. There were heaters inside the mansion, so the temperature was slightly warm.Both Tammy and Avery removed their jackets and sat down on the couch.Tammy had prepared a lot of fruits and placed them before Avery.Avery picked up a peach in surprise and said, "I thought it wasn’t the season for peaches yet.""You can have them at any time of the year you want, as long as you have money. Try it!" Tammy urged.Avery nodded with a smile.Jun took the chance to take a picture of her biting into the peach.The photo looked great. Everything was perfect: structure, lighting, and the general outlook of the photo. Avery looked both seductive and adorable in the photo.Jun sent the photo to Ben, and Ben could not help but exclaim after seeing it.[Are the arms even real?]

Ben did not knock. He pushed the door to Elliot's office open. Elliot immediately set his phone down at the sound."Ahem! Elliot, I accidentally sent a photo of Avery to you…" Ben said, clearly faking fear. Elliot looked up. "I wouldn’t do anything to you even if you’d just come out and said you sent it on purpose." Ben laughed awkwardly. "Jun said that Avery lost a lot of weight, and she looked almost as though she was sick. I didn't believe it, so he sent me a photo of her.""I suppose she is not actually sick, considering that you are laughing right now."The smile on Ben's face froze. "Um… I heard that it was because she was trying to lose weight. She sure is determined. There are plenty of ways to lose weight and she chose to go on a diet. Isn't she a doctor? Doesn't she know that not eating isn't healthy? I feel like she's lost her senses… This is almost as shocking as the time she tried to kill you." Elliot's composure faded as he set the documents down. "Why don't yo
