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
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
