Chapter 48 The more Avery thought about it, the more erratic her breathing became.
Was this proof that Elliot was in love with her?
Otherwise, why would he go and do something that he considered a waste of time?
She felt a sudden chill run down her spine.
Her hand instinctively drifted to her lower abdomen.
She was now more than three months pregnant. She had been watching her diet, so her baby bump was not showing at all.
By the time she reached the fifth and sixth months, she could still hide her bump under loose clothing.
What would happen when she was near the end of her term?
No matter how skinny a pregnant mother was, she would not be able to hide her baby bump once that time came.
If she was still by Elliot’s side by then, she would definitely get caught.
Avery wandered aimlessly around the streets.
She was holding her jacket in her arms, and she was wearing nothing but a light t-shirt, but she did not feel the cold breeze.
Her feelings for Elliot confused her.
It was exactly like the answer she gave him the night before.
She did not have the courage to love him. She despised his previous domineering and arrogant behavior.
She could not say that she did not love him either, because somewhere deep down inside her heart, she did in fact have feelings for him!
She was just too embarrassed and too cowardly to admit it.
The babies she was carrying were standing between the two of them.
If she wanted to keep the children, then she had to leave him.
At the end of the day, she was not a cold-hearted machine. Her body and actions would not necessarily follow every instruction that came from her rational mind.
When exactly did she begin to fall in love with Elliot? She could not answer that question.
She had hated him to death when he forced her to get an abortion.
Avery arrived home that evening and placed a gift box on the coffee table in the living room.
