Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 616

At eight in the evening, the black Rolls-Roice slowly drove to Starry River Villa.

Mike heard movements and came out from the villa.

“Elliot, it’s late. What are you doing here?” Mike coldly jabbed, “Didn’t you say you’ll come by in the afternoon? It’s already dark. Is your afternoon different from others?”

Elliot looked up and said, “Is there any difference between me coming now and this afternoon?”

“Of course, there is. If you came in the afternoon, Avery would still be at home. Avery is not at home now.” Mike stood in the yard. He did not bother to open the gate. 

“I won’t welcome you in then.”

Elliot’s chest constricted tightly. 

“Where did she go?”

“You tell me first. What were you doing this afternoon? Why did you say you would come this afternoon, but didn’t appear?” Mike asked haughtily.

Elliot swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, “Nora insisted on being discharged in the afternoon. I sent her back. Her family insisted that I stay for dinner, I can’t refuse them.”

Mike sneered. “If her family asks you to stay for the night, you won’t be able to refuse them as well?”

Mike said, “So, what if I stayed the night! You have no right judging me on high! Where isge Avery?”

“I don’t know,” Mike said quickly, “It’s pointless if you glare at me. She said she went out for a meal. She didn’t say who she was eating with.”

Mike was afraid that Elliot would flare-up. He immediately turned around and returned to the villa.

Elliot’s gaze darkened. He fished his phone out, found Avery’s contact, and dialed her.

Avery saw his incoming call. She did not pick up, and neither did she dare to hang his call up. She was afraid that he might keep calling if she hung up.

Avery turned off the ringing tone and put her phone in her bag. She wanted to pretend to be not angry, but her body expressed otherwise.

Elliot said that he would come to look for her in the afternoon, yet up till evening, he did not even come. Avery did not think much about it, but Tammy sent her a photo.
