When Avery heard Elliot’s voice, a chill ran down her back.
Did Elliot not go to work, or did he wait for her to wake up at home?
Avery awkwardly turned around and looked at him. Elliot was in a suit, with a serious expression on his face.
The sun shone in through the window and fell on him, yet it made him look even more aloof.
“I did take your phone to send out an email,” Avery came clean, “I’ll admit that it’s wrong of me to take your phone without your permission, but you did not talk to me before you boycotted Eric.”
Avery admitted her mistakes, but she did not regret making them.
“Avery…”
“Why are you calling me? Are you trying to settle a score with me? I didn’t say I wanted to stay with you last night, you thug!” Avery raised her chin and retorted, “If I were you, I would shut up and just let this thing go.”
Elliot was at a loss of words upon hearing what Avery said.
Mrs. Cooper saw how they were arguing, she immediately came over to pacify the situation.
”Avery, lunch is ready. You should be hungry, right? Come and have lunch!”
Avery’s stomach grumbled before Avery could refuse. She did not have breakfast that morning, so she was famished at that moment.
Ever since she got pregnant, her appetite increased tremendously. Even at times, she might feel slightly nauseated, but that did not affect her appetite either.
Elliot at that moment felt as if a bucket of cold water had just been doused over him. All his emotions calmed down.
“Master Elliot, go have some food too! Don’t get angry with Avery. She’s pregnant with a child now and it’s tough for her too.”
After Avery left for the dining hall, Mrs. Cooper went to Elliot and took over the cup of coffee from him. Mrs. Cooper’s advice worked.
So, what if Avery took his phone and emailed reporters? It was not as if she sent out his nudes. It was just a slight humiliation. Compared to his embarrassment, the child in Avery was obviously more important in the dining hall. They sat opposite each other.
