Avery did not think that Elliot would lie to her, but Ruby seemed too confident to be lying.
She needed to know the truth, and she needed to know it quickly.
In Aryadelle, Jun's head felt heavy. He had not slept a wink.
At eight the next morning, his parents came to visit him.
He did not need to speak to them to know that the nanny had informed his parents about what had taken place.
"Jun, what is your plan?"
Confused, he asked, "Why are you two acting so serious? It's not like this is the first time Tammy and I got into a fight...” "Oh. So it was just a small argument, then?" "Big or small, it's between me and her." Jun's expression darkened. "I need to go back to sleep, so just go home!"
"If you won't speak to us, then we are going to the Lynch’s mansion right now to talk to Tammy," said Mrs. Hertz and got up.
"Mom! Don't do that!" Jun said hastily. "She said she needs some time to cool down. Don't go to her."
"What's there to cool down from? You two are just trying to run from your problems." Mrs. Hertz glared at Jun. "I know that you like her, and you don't want to break up with her. Your dad and I are open-minded so we won't force you apart over children... We just think that your issue with her is about having kids." "No, it's not! I just don't like her going to social gatherings. This has nothing to do with having kids."
"Why can't she go to these gatherings? Is her family business not important?"
Jim was rendered speechless by his mother's questions.
"Jun, you have to be more understanding toward Tammy. Don’t just blame it all on her," Mrs. Hertz said. "We won’t force her to have a baby. Didn't the doctor say that it's difficult for her to get pregnant?"
"You two have finally come to your senses? " Jun looked at his parents in surprise.
With that, he took his car keys and left.
Half an hour later, Tammy drove back to their home.
She could not sleep last night, and her mother had convinced her to go home and talk to Jun earlier that morning. So, she drove back after breakfast.
Mr. and Mrs. Hertz had already left, and the nanny was alone at home. When the nanny saw Tammy, she immediately set her chores aside and hurried toward Tammy." Tammy, if only you came home a little earlier. Jun and your parents-in-law just left."
"My parents-in-law were here?" Tammy set her purse down on the couch.
"Yeah! They came here to discuss something with Jun-" said the nanny, but she stopped halfway, not wanting to complete her sentence.
