The gentle voice of a man came through the phone. "Avery."Avery immediately recognized the voice."Adrian!" She had not expected Adrian to call her. "Is this your number, or are you calling me with your family member's phone?""My elder brother bought me a phone," Adrian said, "He bought it for me because I said that I wanted to call you."Avery chuckled. "Have you been discharged? How are you feeling?""I-" Before Adrian could finish, a rough voice of a middle-aged man interrupted him."It's late, Adrian, why aren't you sleeping? Who are you talking to? The doctor said you need rest." It was Adrian's father. "Give me your phone. I will give it back tomorrow."Shortly after, the call ended.Avery scowled at her phone after they hung up.Although Adrian was ill, it had been days since his surgery and he was not a child anymore; she was surprised that his father would not give him the freedom to make a phone call.Adrian's father made it appear as though he was doing it for Ad

She lowered her gaze thoughtfully, before hurrying off to the bathroom to wash up.Tammy had mentioned to her before that she was going to attend Jun's wedding, but now that she couldn't get in touch with Tammy, Avery was slightly concerned.Had Tammy changed her mind last minute and decided not to go, or has she been provoked to do something stupid?Shortly after, Avery got dressed and hurried out of her room with her purse.When Mrs. Cooper saw her running out, she asked, "Avery, what's wrong? It's still early. Do you want to have your breakfast before heading out? I thought the wedding wasn't until noon?"Avery went towards the door and changed her shoes. "I'll pass on breakfast. I need to go find Tammy."The bodyguard drove her to Tammy's house and she pushed the door open as soon as the car stopped.Tammy's mother was watering the plants in the yard and when she spotted Avery, she immediately said, "Avery, Tammy headed out early today. Didn't she tell you?"Avery froze. "S

At ten in the morning, most of the guests had arrived. All the guests gathered in small groups and chatted with wine in their hands at different corners of the hall.Avery accompanied Tammy and sat down by the table. She could sense watchful eyes directed at them. Naturally, the others were not looking at her, but at Tammy.A lot of people were surprised to see Tammy attend Jun's wedding as his ex-wife; everyone was curious as to whether something interesting would happen when the bride and groom showed up."Mike is here." Tammy nibbled at the pistachio and glanced at the entrance from the corner of her eyes, informing Avery of each guest they knew when they arrived.Avery looked over at the entrance and saw Mike coming in with Chad."To be honest, I am really jealous of them right now," Tammy confessed casually, "What is the conflict between Jun and I when compared to the adversities those two have to go through?""If it makes you feel any better, you're right. During new years,

Elliot noticed and mirrored her motions. Half an hour later, he placed all the unshelled pistachios into a bowl and pushed it towards Avery.Avery took one glance and said, "I don't want it.""Then I won't continue."Avery passed the bowl to Tammy and Tammy's expression instantly transformed into a face that looked worse than crying. "Your man gave that to you, so I'm not going to be the third wheel here! Besides, it's bad to eat too many nuts!"Avery immediately took the bowl back."I'm fine with ruining my health, give it to me!" Mike snatched the bowl from Avery and said cheerfully to Elliot, "I guess a successful man is just good at everything. You are definitely going to win if there's a competition for deshelling nuts."Avery noticed that Elliot's expression had darkened from the corner of her eyes. She took a deep breath and took the bowl back from Mike.Ben was trying his best to hold his laughter in.Chad kicked at Mike."Why are you kicking at me? Elliot knows to des

She felt dazed.They were sitting right next to one another, was it necessary to chat through messages?After sending Avery the message, Elliot opened the chat group while waiting for her to reply.'Tammy is so fierce! What kind of script is that? If this is a TV show, I am definitely going to call whoever directed it a mad man; but why do those words sound so romantic coming out of Tammy's mouth?' Ben typed.'Jun knows Tammy best, after all! Does this mean we need to make a transaction to Jun now?' Chad typed.'Jun has earned a fortune this time!' Ben replied.'Mike is asking me to add him into this group. Should I?' Chad asked.'You must want it for you to even ask. Go ahead and tell him to send money to Jun as well!''System notification: Mike has entered the chat.'Mike sent an animated picture of himself after entering the chat group and no one could dream of being as coquettish as he was.Elliot, Ben, and Chad all made transactions to the group. Mike had not expected to

He asked his question and directed the microphone at Tammy."...Never again! Jun, even if you don't want me anymore in the future, I will never let go again!""Are you going to find another guy just to annoy me again?!""Never! I won't do that again!" Tammy cried out and threw herself into his arms, before wrapping her arms around him.Below the stage, Mike shouted, "Kiss! Kiss!"No one else cheered along, because this was not what Jun's parents had hoped to see. They had sincerely wanted their son to marry again and start a new life.On the other end, everyone on the bride's side, except for the bride herself, was furious.Chad regretted sitting next to Mike. "Can't you use that mouth of yours to eat?""Ah! They are kissing!" Mike shouted in excitement, "Tammy initiated it!"Had Jun been hesitant and upset before, all the hesitation had faded the moment Tammy kissed him, and he responded passionately.Shortly after, he took Tammy's hand and went towards his parents. "Dad, Mo

She had been in a hurry when she headed out in the morning. Without paying much attention to the weather, she grabbed a jacket and left her house; apart from that, she had not intended on staying outside for long."Let's grab a cup of coffee!" He suggested."I don't want to." She had too much to eat at lunch. "Let's just walk!""Sure."WIth his jacket on her shoulders, she could sense his scent penetrating into her as he occupied her thoughts.If the man next to her wasn't Elliot, she would definitely not remain out in the cold wind."You have misunderstood me the last time we spoke on the phone," he said, breaking the silence. "I didn't mention Shea to evade the topic. I was sad that you said that."Avery's heart settled down at his low, husky voice, though she might have argued with him had he mentioned this on the phone."Why did you mention Shea then? Elliot, we aren't kids anymore and I don't enjoy guessing around." She raised her leg and kicked at a small rock on the road

Startled, she immediately retracted her hand. "Don't touch me, Elliot!"She stared at him in fear as though she was facing a monster.He said he was ill and she thought that she could accept whatever illness he had; but now that he said he had murdered someone, and that it was his father no less, she couldn't find a way to accept it.He felt a lump in his throat at her reaction. There was so much more that he wished to tell her, but he knew that she might not want to listen.The waiter brought over the coffee and set the cups down in front of them.Avery took the cup and took a big sip; Elliot, on the other hand, looked at her calmly and waited for her to calm down."Elliot Foster, if you are capable of murdering your own father, what else are you not capable of in this world?" She had slightly calmed down, but still felt unsettled. She had thought that she knew the man before her, but he could always surprise or scare her."Are you going to judge me without even asking me why I
