Chapter 260 Avery’s eyes darted away for a brief moment, but then, she started chuckling, “Is this the first time you two slept together? It has been a long time since you went public with your relationship. How innocent.”
Elliot‘s expression darkened. “Speaking as if you have plenty of experience. Have you slept with any other men besides me?”
She beamed at him, “Of course!”
Hayden was a “man” too, after all.
The composure on Elliot‘s face faded.
“Avery Tate! I will be damned if I come looking for you again!” he said through gritted teeth before storming out of the room.
Avery watched as he disappeared, and the smile on her smile collapsed.
It was good that he would not come looking for her again. That way, they could both live their separate lives, but why did she not feel happy about it at all?
She held onto the blanket and took a deep breath. It still smelt like him.
The door swung open, and Mike strode in.
“Avery, did Elliot do anything to you? Damn that guy! I was supposed to send you to the hospital, but he beat me to it!” Mike walked toward the bed and sat down before reaching over to touch her forehead. Her skin was cool to the touch, which meant that the fever had broken.
“He was the one who sent me here?” Stunned, Avery‘s lashes shivered.
“Yeah! He went looking for you at your house, and Hayden soaked him in water. He was drenched from head to toe, so I took him inside to change. That was when we discovered that you had a fever,” explained Mike. “What did he say to you just now? He looked so angry when he left!”
Mike took the information about the order and went directly to Avery.
