Chapter 679
Ben’s arrival made the warm and happy atmosphere in the house come to a pause.
Tammy was upset with him before, so the way she was looking at him now was especially furious.
“What are you doing here? Did you come to celebrate with us?” Tammy asked in an enigmatic tone.
Seeing this, Jun immediately pulled her away and said, “I’m sure Ben’s here to see Avery, Tammy. Don’t get in the way.”
Then, he hurriedly dragged her away.
Ben coughed awkwardly, then walked over to 34 Avery.
“I’m sorry, Avery.” His expression was uneasy, but his tone was filled with sincerity.
“I was ignorant. I’ve never seen anyone imitate someone’s voice that perfectly, so I insisted that the woman in the video was you. I should’ve just kept my bias to myself, but I even threatened Elliot to break up with you… You can be upset with me, but please don’t blame him.”
“Did you ask you to come here?” Avery raised her brows slightly.
“He doesn’t know I came.” Ben’s cheeks flushed a crimson red.
“This entire thing is pretty embarrassing. I don’t know how to face him yet, so I came to apologize to you first.”
“I don’t need your apology,” Avery said as she looked him in the face.
“You were always kind to me. It was a kindness that could take someone up to cloud nine. What you did this time didn’t do any substantial damage to me, so you don’t need to apologize.”
“That’s good. Then, about Elliot…”
“That’s between him and me,” Avery said, enunciating each word clearly.
“I don’t need anyone else to get involved.”
A wave of embarrassment washed over Ben’s eyes. He took a breath and said, “Got it. Are you in the middle of dinner? I won’t bother you, then,”
Once Ben left, Tammy walked over to Avery and gave her a thumbs up.
