Chapter 624
Avery was still happily chatting with Tammy. She did not notice bim walking over to her.
“Avery, are you nervous? You’ll be giving birth soon.” Tammy stirred the cup of juice in her hand with the straw.
“I’m not nervous, but I really want it out. My tummy is getting big, it’s tiring.” Avery ate some dessert. She asked,
“What about you?”
“The answer I gave my in-laws was next year. I’ll drag it until next year. I haven’t had enough fun46 yet!”
“Having kids won’t stop you from having fun.”
“I’m sure it will affect it somehow. I still like kids. Once I have one of my own, I won’t be able to be stern enough to
discipline34 them.”
“You can take your kids around and play with them! Having kids will make things even more interesting. You don’t
have to worry too much.”
“Hmm! You gave me a lot of courage. Whether it’s caring for your kids or working. You’re not afraid at all,” Tammy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaid enviously, “If I was a man, I would fall in love withcd you.”
Avery chuckled lightly. “If you were a man, i’d marry you! Haha!”
Tammy laughed together with Avery when suddenly Elliot appeared within her sight. Tammy’s laugh instantly
vanished. She cleared her throat twice. “Why is hege here?”
Avery looked in the direction in which Tammy was looking. When she saw Elliot, the smile on her face vanished too.
“You didn’t invite him, right?” Tammy asked23 softly.
“No,” Avery replied in a low voice.
“Oh…do I need to avoid him?” Tammy asked in whispers.
Avery replied, “No need.”
At that moment, Elliot was already by their side, so he heard their conversation clearly.
He did not say anything. He merely looked at Avery’s head with his cold gaze.
Avery felt her scalp exploding with pain. She immediately got up from her chair and pulled him away.
“Who bullied you this morning?” Coming out of the hall, Elliot said, “If I did not accidentally know about this, you
would never think of telling me.”
“It’s a small matter. It’s not worth mentioning.” Avery brushed it off and looked at him.
A week before, he stood in front of her house under the sun for an entire day, causing his skin some damage. His
skin was darker by a shade. It also looked dry and flaky.
“Why are you looking at me?” Elliot’s eyes moved. He looked a little uncomfortable.
“Do you have facial masks at home? Your face needs moisturizing,” Avery reminded him,” Next time, don’t spend
too long under the sun, if not, you’ll get a sunburn. Don’t underestimate the UV rays of the summer sun. If the
sunburn is serious, you might need to go to the hospital.”
Elliot ignored her words. His long slender finger pried her hair apart. He saw her reddened scalp.
Avery gasped in pain and pushed his hand away.
“Who pulled your hair! Tell me!” Elliot asked sternly.
“It’s in the past. There’s no need to mention it.” Avery changed the subject to divert his attention. “Layla’s dream
right now is to be a celebrity. She likes to perform in front of the camera, so I can’t force her to leave the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmentertainment industry.”
This topic easily diverted Elliot’s attention.
“Have you ignored me again!” Elliot was extremely dissatisfied with her parenting skills.
“Elliot, I know what you’re worried about, but children need to be respected too. If you have a better way of getting
Layla to change her mind, I won’t stop you.” Avery did not want to fight with him, so her tone was gentle. “I’ll keep
the card that you gave me. When you fall in love with another person, I’ll return it to you.”
Elliot smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly. “I don’t think you’ll see that day.”
“Don’t be so sure.” Avery walked toward the lift. Elliot followed behind her.
He thought that she wanted to go home. Turns out, coming out of the hotel, she headed to the pharmacy next door.
He thought that she was going to buy anti-inflammatory medication to put on her damaged scalp, but she bought
two medically used facial masks instead. She paid and passed the masks to him.
“Take this home and use it.”
“Do you think my face is the one that’s hurt?” Elliot did not accept the bag. He left out the following sentence, but
Avery understood what he meant.
