Chapter 446
Avery glanced at the heart rate monitor on her wrist and noticed the number going down from a hundred to eighty.'Why is he here? Tammy said she didn't invite Elliot or his friends, so is he here uninvited?' she thought.Tammy, too, was stunned. She pinched Jun on the arm and asked, "What's going on? Why is he here?"The temperature in the air dropped the moment Elliot arrived.Tammy did not welcome his presence, but she could not pluck up the courage to chase him out.Jun leaned toward Tammy. "Now that Elliot is here, we should welcome him! Enough with the long face. Do this for me!"After that, Jun hurried over to Elliot and welcomed him with a smile. "Elliot, Ben, here you are! Have you eaten? If not, there's still some food in the kitchen—""We aren't hungry at the moment," Ben said. "What were you guys playing? You were all shouting so loudly!"Ben's words had eased the tension, and those who were stunned instantly felt less nervous."We were playing a game where you lose

"Hahaha, let's put all of them in here! We also need something else. What if he doesn't like women? Let's include some handsome guys as well!""Sure! I have a collection of men!""What's that? Show me!""Hahaha! It's hilarious! Not bad!"…The women were having a wonderful time trying to get the perfect videos, but they were too young and were clueless as to what kind of man Elliot was.Ben did not waver despite hearing every word they said, and he even felt amused. Elliot might not lose even if they were to show him R-rated videos.Jun walked toward Tammy and Avery, before explaining, "I can't refuse Ben when he asked for the location. He is my senior… Ben didn't mention that Elliot would be here, but even if he did, I would welcome them!"Tammy glared at him. "What's the point of explaining when you've already gone and done it?"Jun gave her a flattering smile. "I was scared that you two would be mad, especially Avery—""They are your friends. It's normal that you invite th

Avery awkwardly took out her phone to focus on something else.Ben glanced at the screen and lowered his gaze to look for any change in Elliot's heart rate.'Good for him! His heart rate is as steady as a rock!' he thought. Ben began to wonder if there was anything wrong with the monitor, or if Elliot had indeed managed to overcome all urges.Jun too was staring at the heart rate monitor around Elliot's wrist and said, "The monitor should be fine. The numbers were moving when Avery was wearing it just now.""How did Avery do on the challenge?" Ben asked.Jun glanced at Avery; Avery was expressionless, but Tammy was staring daggers at him. He looked away and said, "She won. The monitor will beep if her heart rate gets to high, but I didn't hear anything while she was playing."Ben hummed in response and looked over at Avery.Avery lowered her head and focused on her phone, clearly trying to avoid them.The first video ended, and the second one began with a mature beauty posing i

Elliot gaped at the woman next to him.He only stole one glance at Avery from afar when he had just entered the villa. She was smiling then, but that smile vanished when she caught sight of him. By the time he sat down on the couch, Avery had already quietly moved out of his sight.Now that she was sitting beside him, Elliot could see how slim her face was as well as the panic in her eyes.'She has slimmed down so much!' he thought.Avery seemed to have lost her edge. She looked extremely fragile to the point that he felt as if he could crush her with just one hand. She met his eyes for a brief moment, before trying to get up and leave.Elliot immediately grabbed onto her wrist, refusing to let her go.Everyone else in the room watched the drama unfold with anticipation. All of Jun and Tammy's friends knew that Elliot and Avery were once in a romantic relationship, and they could not help but feel excited when they saw the way the two interacted with one another.Maybe it was

No one forced Elliot to drink.Once he finished the bottle, Ben looked at him and asked, "Have you recovered from your injury? Didn't the doctor tell you to stay away from alcohol for three months? It hasn't been three months yet, right?"Jun heard them and hastily brought a bottle of fruit juice."Elliot, drink some juice!" Jun cleared all the wine bottles in front of Elliot. "There's still food left in the kitchen, do you guys want some?"Ben finished his own bottle and dragged Elliot toward the kitchen. As soon as the two left, the mood in the living room lightened up instantly.Ben poured a glass of juice and passed it to Elliot."If only I knew that it's going to be this awkward, I wouldn't have brought you here," Ben said with a bitter smile, "Why don't I send you back?"Jun stood beside them and said, "You both drank, so neither of you can drive. I booked an ambulance today, so maybe you guys can go back by ambulance?"Both Ben and Elliot were rendered speechless by the

"I'm going to find Avery."Jun was flabbergasted. 'So scary! This is terrifying!' Jun thought. He had not been there the last time they fought, but he had seen Elliot in the ICU ward, and he remembered how long Elliot had to remain in the ward. Yet, Elliot was now looking for Avery, despite failing to resolve their last conflict. 'Is Elliot going to make the same mistake?' he wondered.Jun was terrified. Unable to stop Elliot, he dashed off in search of Ben and Tammy."He had only had one bottle," Ben analyzed the situation calmly. "He can't be that drunk.""But Avery doesn't want to see him!" Tammy retorted anxiously. "Avery told me this herself! No way! I need to stop him!"With that, Tammy tried to head upstairs to stop Elliot. Jun latched onto her arm whilst Ben held her another arm to stop her."Relax, Tammy. I'll go up to check on them." Ben was worried that if he allowed Tammy to go, everyone would be made aware of what was going on. Elliot had embarrassed himself once,
Chapter 452
Avery stared at Elliot's handsome, yet expressionless face. She was too angry to speak. Prior to her pregnancy, she would have argued with him, but her pregnancy had weakened her, and she found that she no longer wanted to fight and argue with him. If Elliot shamelessly insisted on staying in her room, there was nothing she could do. After all, he had let go of his pride entirely.Perhaps it was because Elliot's words had not provoked Avery like he thought it would that confused him.'Was I not straightforward enough, or has she already spoken to Eric about this?' he thought."Avery Tate, I won't let you go no matter who you end up with in the future. You are not marrying someone else as long as I'm still breathing," he said, further threatening her.Avery felt nothing. She had not thought of marrying again, so his threats meant nothing to her."Do you want to be the 'mistress' that badly?" She stared directly into his eyes as she mocked him.Embarrassment flashed briefly in El

Avery called after him, "Elliot, can you stay away from me from now on, if I give you a child like we agreed on?"She did not want to be involved with him any longer.Elliot stopped and responded coldly, "Give me the child first, and then we can negotiate." With that, he opened the door and stepped out of the room.Ben was waiting outside the door and asked, "Elliot, are you okay?"Avery heard him. She felt irritated, and she could not seem to suppress or avoid the emotion she felt.She collapsed onto the bed once the footsteps outside the door disappeared into the distance. After a few minutes, she picked up her phone and video-called Mike.Mike picked up immediately. "Avery, have you eaten?"Mike was playing with Hayden and Layla.Avery spotted a faint figure moving in the kitchen from her screen, but Mike adjusted the camera right away to focus on the children."I have…" Avery relaxed at the sight of her children. "Hayden, Layla, what are you two playing with?""We are p
