Avery's heart constricted tightly.It was Tammy's voice. Did she not reconcile with Jun already?"Tammy, what happened? Don't cry. Tell me what happened." Avery got off the bed and put on a coat. She planned to go look for Tammy."Avery, I…I can't…I'm…afraid…" Tammy choked up and stuttered."Don't be afraid. Are you and Jun still there together? Do you need me to look for you?" Avery was worried.She could roughly guess what happened to Tammy. Just like how Elliot's father brought him trauma that affected his life later on, the trauma Tammy had after being kidnapped would affect her for a very long time, perhaps even for the rest of her life.When Tammy cried and muttered the word yes, Avery immediately left her bedroom. When she left her room, Mrs. Cooper came out because she heard movement."Avery, it's already midnight. Are you heading out?"No matter what time it was at that moment, she had to go."Hmm. I'm not sure if I'll be back tonight. Don't wait up," Avery said and s
[Chad: You'll be fine.][Ben: You can do it.][Elliot: Yes!][Jun: Thank you for being here for me. I feel much better now. Tammy seemed to have stopped crying. Avery sure is great.]Suddenly, everyone stopped chatting.[Jun: What's going on? Has Avery become a banned topic? It's unnecessary, no? Even if she has split up with Elliot, we are still friends!][Chad: Good night.][Ben: Good night.][Elliot: Hmm. @Jun][Jun: Elliot, I'll go to check on Tammy. Rest well.]Jun sent the message and placed his phone down. He walked over to the bedroom.In the bedroom, Avery and Tammy lay in bed. They were chatting in soft tones with each other, as close as sisters.Jun immediately left the room and gently closed the door. Since Tammy and Avery were extremely close, no matter how badly Elliot and Avery fought, Jun was always a little biased toward Avery.Although Tammy was quite spoiled, she was kind. Since she could be so close to Avery, that meant that Avery was also a kind woman.
When Chad saw Jun's message, he immediately called Jun, "Jun! Delete that message!"Jun said, "Why? I didn't talk about Avery. Can I not talk about Hayden and Layla too?""No! Avery isn't planning on inviting Mr. Foster, so don't talk about this in the group." Chad took a deep breath. "Don't you find this absurd!""Yes! Absolutely absurd!" Jun touched his nose. "But I think there is a reason why Avery is doing this. I'll delete the message in the group first."Jun hung up and opened the group chat.[Ben: When is Hayden and Layla's birthday? Get Avery to throw them a party! If she finds it troublesome, let Elliot do it!]Jun secretly deleted his message. Although he knew it was pointless. Ben saw it, which meant that Elliot saw it too.[Ben: Why did you delete the message? @Jun]Jun saw the message but did not dare to reply.[Chad: Ben, I heard that Avery is planning to throw her children a birthday party. We don't have to worry about this.][Ben: Oh. Jun. Why did you delete t
Mrs. Cooper thought for a while before replying, "For a few years already. When I started working for the Fosters, I was not even thirty years old yet! I'm already forty-five. I can retire in about five years.""Mrs. Scarlet has worked there longer than you?""Yes! She used to care for Madam Rosalie. Later, when Elliot and Shea were born, she helped take care of them," Mrs. Cooper said, "I heard this from Mrs. Scarlet.""Elliot told me about the incident when he was young," Avery was a little depressed, so she wanted to talk about it with someone. "I never thought that he would be so depressed when he was young.""What did he tell you?" Mrs. Cooper said in surprise."Hmm, he came clean and told me everything." Avery looked at Mrs. Cooper. "So that I won't misunderstand him again."Mrs. Cooper suddenly choked up. "Avery, don't blame him for telling you this only now. It was so hard for him to have his achievements today. God must have pitied him, which cured him of the mental cond
Avery and Elliot were once very close to each other. She has seen every single part of his body. She was very sure that he did not have any scars on his head. That meant that the great doctor did not operate on him, but how did he cure Elliot then? There was no such special medicine in this world.All of this was contradictory to science. Her perceptions were turned upside down. She was puzzled by it.Her phone rang. She took it out of her bag and saw who was calling her. Her emotions calmed down instantly."Adrian." Avery was surprised that he would call her."Avery, when are you coming to see me?" Adrian's voice was not as sprightly as the previous time. He seemed upset."What happened? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Avery asked worryingly.Adrian was silent for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, "I don't think they like me. Only you treat me well.""What happened?" Avery's chest constricted. "Adrian, did they say anything to you? Or did they do anything to you?""N
Elliot came out of his office to look for Ben. Coincidentally, Ben was about to call him for lunch too."Has Avery invited you?" Elliot asked him."Are you talking about the children's birthday party? Not yet!" Ben asked, "Has she invited you already?"Elliot shook his head."It's fine. It's half a month more to go! By then, she would surely inform us," Ben said confidently, "Even if she doesn't invite you, she would surely invite me. After all, we have cleared the air between us."Elliot did not retort. He was only confused. "I didn't fight with her. Why did she not invite me?"Ben said, "Although you two didn't fight as seriously as in the past, your problems are still serious! She can't accept you. You won't want to deal with her being unappreciative too.""Can you stop with your nonsense?" Elliot furrowed his brows.Ben pouted and changed the topic. "Should we go buy the children's presents in the afternoon?""Hmm." It was easier to pick a present for Layla. It was more ch
The client stormed off like the wind.Avery's secretary said, "Miss Tate, should I get Elliot in?"Avery looked at her phone and saw the time. She also checked to see if he had called or sent her a message beforehand. He did not.He came by suddenly. Was he just on the way or did something happen? Her calm mind was suddenly a mess.Avery came out of the meeting room to go see him.When she was in the lobby, she saw her client chatting with Elliot. The way her client bent down so respectfully was ironic.Elliot saw Avery coming out from the lift. His deep-set eyes instantly landed on her face."Mr. Foster, I won't bother you two." When the client saw Avery approaching, he immediately bade Elliot farewell.Avery walked over to Elliot. She looked at his handsome face. "What is there that you can't tell me over the phone?""Are you blaming me for coming to your office?" Elliot's sharp gaze sized the surroundings.The receptionist and the bodyguard were looking over. He believed t
The car window rolled down and Mike's face appeared in front of them."Hey! You two! What are you doing in front of the office? Sunbathing?" Mike teased, "It's almost lunch. I suggest that you two find a restaurant to sit down and slowly fight it out. It's bad to fight in front of the office."Avery's expressions turned a little colder.Elliot said, "Lunch?"Avery replied, "I'm not having it with you." Then, she turned around and headed back to the office.Mike honked and said to Elliot, "Buy me lunch!"Elliot swept him a cold glance and planned to leave."Buy me lunch and I'll bring back lunch for Avery too!" Mike called out after him. Elliot stopped in his tracks.They found a restaurant nearby and sat down. Mike ordered food for Avery and wrote her number down. He got the waiter to directly deliver it to her.Elliot furrowed his brows. "You're exposing her privacy!"Mike tutted. "Avery always orders from here!"Elliot was speechless."Do you think that everyone is like y
