Her mind was eased that he had finally found peace.
They stepped out of the yard and soon ran into two women along the road.
One of the women saw Avery and greeted her enthusiastically, "Avery, are you back from your holiday?"
"Yeah! Are you on a walk?"
"Yeah! Your baby is so big now! How adorable!" The woman complimented Robert, before turning her attention to Elliot. "Avery, is this your husband?"
Avery glanced at Elliot and hummed in response.
"Your husband is quite handsome, but what’s with his face? Is it jaundice?" The woman looked worried, and she even reached out to try and touch Elliot’s face.
Elliot immediately took out his mask and wore it.
"No. He got injured, but he's almost recovered." Avery noticed that Elliot was feeling uncomfortable and said hastily, " Auntie, we will go take our walk now."
"Sure! Bye!"
After the two women left, Elliot muttered in confusion, "Are you close to them?"
"No!" Avery said. "We’ve just seen one another a few times! It's a community, so we are bound to run into each other."
"Then how would she know that you'd gone on a holiday?" "It's not odd that they know!" Avery said." Layla would take Robert out every evening. Our kids are so adorable that all these women love them, so obviously they would chat with them."
"I see. I thought that they heard it from
Mrs. Cooper."
"Okay!" Avery walked him to the garage ?g*
