Chapter 93 Avery was shocked. Laura and Jack got divorced when Avery was still young, and she was so busy with her own affairs that she had no time to care about how her mother’s life was going Hence, Avery was completely unaware of how Laura had saved money.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to go abroad… I’m thinking, why don’t we buy a smaller house? It’s okay for us both to suffer a little, but we can’t let the children feel sad!” Laura continued.
Avery asked, “Mom, do we really have that much money?”
Laura replied, “We can still afford a down payment.”
Avery said, “Oh… Then there’s no rush. The babies are still months away!”
“Time flies, and you better give it a careful consideration.”
Avery nodded. “Mom, I’m going out later. My friend’s dad is celebrating his birthday next week, and I have to buy a present.”
Laura was worried. “Can’t you get it in the morning? It’s getting dark, and I’m uneasy about you going out alone.”
Avery said, “There are street lights outside. I’ll be fine.”
Laura uttered, “Alright. Come back soon.”
Avery got up, grabbed the bag from the sofa, and went out. She hailed a cab and gave him Elliot’s address. Elliot’s thin, haggard face kept appearing in Avery’s mind, and she could not control the urge to go back and have a look. Moreover, she had already thought of an excuse.
The car stopped at the gate of Elliot’s mansion, and Avery got out of the vehicle. She noticed that several cars were parked in the yard, and it seemed that many people had come to visit him. The gatekeeper recognized Avery and immediately opened the gate.
Avery went inside.
