Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 When Elliot appeared by the table, Avery was about to take a bite of the cake and she almost snapped the plastic fork in half at the sight of him. What were the odds that she would run into him in the rare chance that she dined out?

Tammy frowned. “What a coincidence, Mr. Foster. Do you have a meeting here?”

She waved at the group behind Elliot sarcastically, and the others gave her smiles that were both polite and careful at the same time.

Elliot glanced at the cake on the table and looked at the two children. “It’s your birthday?” His voice was low, powerful, and confused.

He remembered that Hayden’s birthday was on the 13th of April, not today.

Avery’s blood ran cold at that very instant. She had not wanted to celebrate their birthday because she feared that he would get suspicious. Yet, he had still caught them celebrating in secret.

Elliot studied the panicked and anxious expression on Avery’s face thoughtfully.

“So Hayden’s birthday isn’t on the 13th of April, but today? And so is Layla’s birthday? Do these two kids share the same birthday? Could it be-”

“Do you have a lot of free time on your hands? Why do you care whose birthday it is today? Besides, who says that we can only eat cake on someone’s birthday?” Tammy snatched the birthday hats from Layla’s and Hayden’s heads and put them on Avery and herself. “Today is the anniversary of my friendship with Avery, so we came out to celebrate. Do you have a problem with it?!”

Her panicked expression disappeared in an instant at Tammy’s words.

Elliot lowered his gaze to look at Avery and said sarcastically, “Longing to get married, Avery?

Startled by the question, she looked up to meet his eyes. Before she could say anything, Tammy seized the chance and said, “Can’t you just mind your own business, Elliot Foster? Whether Avery wants to get married or not has nothing to do with you. Even if she does want to get married, she won’t marry you! Just give up!” Tammy’s words stung Elliot’s heart and his eyes turned vicious. “Tammy Lynch, I wasn’t talking to you. Mind your tongue!”

Unable to stay out of it, Avery intervened. “Tammy only said what I meant to say. You don’t have to yell in public, it’s very unbecoming of you!”

She emphasized the word ‘public’ and Elliot instantly snapped out of his rage.
