Chapter 289
“I‘ll still be happy! My ex and I are still good friends!”
Avery was speechless.
“Avery, who knows. Maybe they would get married,” Tammy continued, “Rosalie likes Zoe a lot. Also, Elliot seemed to have come to his senses. Jun and I are speculating that if Shea’s second operation is a success by New Year‘s, he will definitely marry Zoe.”
Avery said calmly, “I wish them all the best.”
“You have to look ahead too!” Tammy was worried for Avery. “You‘re still young. Your mom can help you take care of your two kids. Also, they are already in school, so you don’t have to worry about them too much. You can start enjoying life.” “I will enjoy it,” Avery said with a smile. “Can you stop looking at me with pity? It‘s not illegal to be single, right?”
“Don‘t overthink it. I think you just have too much time on your hands. Why don‘t you plan your wedding?!”
“I have two children, how am I going to be your bridesmaid?”
“Whoever said that a divorcee who has children can‘t be a bridesmaid? I will make whoever I want my bridesmaid,” Tammy said. “This is perfect. Your children can be my page boy and flower girl.”
Avery did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Her phone rang. She immediately picked up her phone and saw that it was from Officer Boyd. She immediately answered the call.
“Miss Tate, James Worsley decide to appeal. I just got the latest arrangement from the supreme court. His case will only be heard in court next year, so have a good New Year‘s.”
“Okay, thank you!”
“Don‘t worry. His appeal is just him trying to delay the outcome. The outcome will not change.
“Hmm, I have faith in our justice system.”
That evening, Avery returned home with an assortment of bags.
“Mommy, what did you buy? The next time you go shopping with Aunt Tarnmy can you take me along?” Layla was already on winter break.
“It‘s cold outside. You‘ll freeze to death.” Avery caressed her daughter’s head. “I won‘t! I’ll wear a beanie and a mask!” Layla took out the new clothes and shoes from the shopping bag. Gradually, delight replaced her dissatisfaction.
Laura came over and said to Avery, “Your Uncle Ron is asking us to go back for New Year’s. If you don’t want to go, I‘ll go alone.”
