Chapter 362
He stood under the warm street lights. He was wearing a light brown trench coat. It was refreshing to see him in a new style, as he was usually seen dressed in darker colors.
The atmosphere in the yard shifted drastically with his appearance. Tammy gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She looked like she was going to punch Elliot in the face.
It was clear that Jun had brought Elliot over.
Avery looked away hastily after spotting Elliot. Everything that happened the night before was still in her mind, but she knew that he would not do anything with so many people in her house.
Elliot had thought of himself as the one who owed Avery, but now Avery was the one who owed him. It was why he had dared show up at her house uninvited.
As the two men walked through the yard, Tammy reached out to pinch Jun on the arm.
Jun shrugged in resignation as if he was saying, ‘Not my fault! I didn’t bring him here!’
Tammy shoved him toward Avery so that he might explain and apologize to her.
Jun ştrode toward Avery with a flattering smile and looked at her nails. “Avery, um… Nice nails! Are they the same ones as Tammy’s?”
Next to them, Chad gave his seat to Elliot, who, at Jun’s compliment, looked over at Avery’s hands.
Under the yellow lights, her nails shone mysteriously like a cat’s eyes.
After easing the awkwardness, Jun leaned toward Avery and whispered, “I really didn’t bring him here. I just said that I was coming over, and he insists on tagging along-“.
“I don’t blame you,” Avery said.
