Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 

Avery heard his question. She slightly sobered her up. 

Did he think that she would spill the truth simply because she had a bit too much to drink? 

He had underestimated her.

She had drunk a little too much, but it was only beer and not wine. Beer would not completely make her lose her mind.

She decided to ignore him and go to sleep.

Elliot listened to her breathing and stared at the screen of his phone, reluctant to hang up. She would have never called unless she was drunk.

Avery jolted awake at eight in the morning. It was a nightmare that had woken her. A nightmare about the time when her father had just passed away.

With his death and the company declaring bankruptcy, Avery and her mother had wandered the streets like homeless strays. She had been thirsty and dying for water, but they had not a penny to their name, so they could not buy water. 

Avery was drenched in sweat when she woke up. She sighed a breath of relief at the familiar sight of her bedroom and whispered to herself, “It‘s in the past, Avery... don‘t be afraid.” 

Just then, a man‘s husky voice came from her phone, “Are you awake?” 

Avery gaped and stared at her phone, thinking, “What‘s going on? Is my phone possessed? Why is Elliot‘s voice coming from it?” 

“Calm down, ghosts don‘t appear during the daytime.” She took a deep breath to prepare herself, before picking up the phone. 

Elliot had heard her mumbling to herself. He looked forward to her reaction. 

When Avery unlocked the phone and saw the screen, her face stiffened. The screen showed that she had been on call with Elliot for five hours.

She instantly felt like tossing her phone away. 

“I called Elliot? Why?” she thought as she stared at her phone dazedly. She flushed. She wanted to ask about what had happened, but she could not bring herself to ask. “Avery, are you awake?” He took the initiative and broke the moment of silence.
