"Avery said that she told her patient to leave something red by the window. Just check to see if you find any red objects next to anyone's window, and I will go find him," Mike said and took out a photo, "Here, this is a photo of the guy."Chad looked at the photo for a few moments and exclaimed, "Why does this person look so familiar?""I knew you were going to say that. Don't you think he looks like Shea?" Mike said, "Avery agreed to treat him because of that."Chad took the photo into his hand for a closer look. "They do look kind of similar, but up close, not that alike.""Let's discuss when we find him! He's a poor guy, being locked in the house without any freedom." Mike scowled. "Avery is just too nosy, but that's what I like about her.""It's not like it's affecting her own life. It's nice to do good deeds that are within one's capability."In a certain residential area, Peter's sister spotted a drone in the sky when she was hanging the clothes and called out, "Peter, the
Avery froze. She had not expected Elliot to have guests over.Elliot had never had the habit of inviting guests over, and because the others weren't speaking out loud, she had not heard them at all before she went downstairs.Avery's face flushed three seconds after being stared at by the others and she immediately turned around to head back upstairs.She had been quiet when she went down the stairs, but extremely loud when she headed back up.Back in the living room, the others looked away."Elliot, that's the woman you are marrying this time?""Isn't that the same woman? Have you forgotten that she almost killed you?""I was wondering why she looked so familiar? She was the same woman from last time? Elliot, you sure are loyal!""It's not like that. That woman gave birth to Elliot's children. Three of them! That's not bad!""But Elliot doesn't like kids!""Hahaha! He doesn't like others' kids, but he's bound to like his own, right?"The others discussed cheerfully in front
"How can you not care? You are being taken advantage of! It's not like you don't have money, or have issues finding another woman! Dump her and you can find other women to give birth to thirty children that share your family name!""..." Both Elliot and Avery were rendered speechless."Yeah! What's with your taste in women? That Avery knows no manners! She didn't even say hi when she saw us just now, who does she think she is?""She has no manners! Considering what she's done to you so far, she has always been that arrogant! How can you put up with a woman like that?""Elliot, dump her and we will introduce better women to you. You won't even have to delay your scheduled wedding day.""Yeah! My sister has always liked you. Not only is she prettier than Avery, but her figure is also perfect! She is definitely going to make you happy!""It's fine. Avery and I have been in love with each other for many years and I don't want anyone but her," Elliot refused politely.Around the corn
A while later, Elliot and Avery walked down the stairs and the others stared sternly at their entwined hands."Let's head out to eat!" Elliot walked towards them. "If we depart now, we will arrive at the hotel in time.""Sure! But is she going out dressed like this?" Someone stared at the way Avery was dressed and said, "Elliot, don't you think that it's embarrassing for you if she walks out dressing like that?"Elliot scanned Avery up and down. She was wearing a sleeping gown that was slightly creased at the bottom and a pair of flat slippers. Though it was a casual outfit, it was also a refreshing one; on top of that, he didn't have a change of clothes for her and she was hungry, so going out to eat became his first priority.Elliot glanced at Avery and did not respond to the man.Avery looked at the man with a smile. "I don't want to trouble everyone. Whoever thinks it's embarrassing to eat with me, you may be excused from eating with us later."The others' wanted to argue, bu
Elliot looked troubled. He said to everyone, "She has a very low alcohol tolerance and goes berserk once she is drunk. Not only will she swear and scold, but she will also flip tables. If you can bear the consequences…I'll let her raise her glass to you all?"Avery immediately raised her wine glass in cooperation."Hey! Hey! Forget about it! We haven't seen each other in a long time! We finally are able to gather to drink. Avery, place your glass down!" One of them sternly said.Avery timidly placed her glass down.The waiter began to serve food. Soon, the table was filled with food.Avery was famished, so once the dishes were served, she immediately said, "Everyone, the food has been served. Let's feast! Help yourselves!"Then, she picked up her utensils and took a piece of meat to eat.Everyone had a good level of living quality. They were used to eating expensive meat and seafood, but when they saw Avery only going for the expensive meat, they were still a little uncomfortabl
On the way back, the driver asked, "Miss Tate, where are we heading to?""My house." Avery had a full meal, so she was rather sleepy at that moment. She looked at her phone to see if there were any new messages.Mike sent her a few screenshots taken with the drone.[Mike: We mainly scouted the first target area this morning. We found seven units that placed red objects outside their windows. I checked each of them. I didn't find your patient. Will continue in the afternoon!]Avery did not expect that Mike would work so quickly. She replied, [Thank you.][Mike: Are you finally up? I heard that you spent the night at Elliot's last night. Where are you now? If you're still at Elliot's, I'll go there for a free meal!][Avery: I'm not at his house. A group of terrible people came to his house today. I chased them away.][Mike: F*ck. Are you that fierce? They are still his guests!][Avery: Is this your first day knowing me? It's because I knew that they were not good people. Also, on
An hour later, the driver picked Elliot up from the airport.Once Elliot got in the car, the driver asked, "Mr. Foster, where to?"Elliot rubbed the area in between his brows. He pondered for a while before saying, "To the office!"The driver said, "Okay."After driving off, the driver looked at Elliot's face through the rearview mirror. Coincidentally, Elliot saw him doing that, so he asked, "What's going on?""Mr. Foster, when I was sending Miss Tate back, she was talking to someone on the phone. They were in a fight." The driver hesitated for a while before saying to Elliot, "The person on the other end said that you didn't propose to Miss Tate. You missed out on a step. Miss Tate was so furious her face flushed. She even hung up on the other person."Avery constantly bickered that way with Mike, but it was the first time the driver had witnessed this, so he thought that Avery was feeling extremely aggrieved.On top of that, the driver exaggerated his words, which caused Elli
In the evening, at the Starry River Villa. During dinner, Mike told Avery his plans for the outing on Memorial Day."Why are you telling me this? I'm not going with you anyway," Avery said calmly."I know you're not coming with us. I'm telling you because I'm taking Hayden along," Mike explained, "Will you let Hayden come with us?"Avery looked at Hayden. "Do you want to go play with them? Do you have a holiday?"Hayden said, "I've already agreed to them."Avery was speechless. Mike looked smug. "Since you have nothing to say, I'm taking Hayden out on Memorial Day. Layla said that she is going out with Eric. As for Robert, I wanted to take him along, but Mrs. Cooper disagreed."Avery placed her utensils down and swept all of them a gaze. "What is the meaning of this? Are you really leaving me home alone?""Didn't you want to spend time with Elliot alone?" Mike teased, "Shouldn't you be happy?""I wasn't serious. He might not even be free on Memorial Day." Avery felt a little
