"I don't think you're going to like what I say, Avery, but I'm going to say it anyway. I think this will be good for you." Tammy lowered her voice slightly. "If Ruby and that child are both dead, then there won’t be any obstacles between you and Elliot anymore. Elliot probably went to Ylore just to collect their bodies. After all, the Goulds have no other relatives."
Avery did not tell Tammy that the reasons for divorcing Elliot were not simply because Elliot went to Ylore. It was also because her hopes for him to come and visit her when she lost her vision were dashed when he decided to fly to Ylore regardless.
"I've already decided, Tammy. I really have. " She reiterated her decision to Tammy.
"I see. You're serious about it. I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise then that Mike has been with you all this time. You must have felt really sad these past few days. Why didn't you tell me?" Tammy regretted that she could not support and console Avery when the latter was at her saddest.
"I'm not as sad as you think I am. I guess it's because I'm older, and I'm more open-minded now than I was before." Avery smiled.
"I bet you're not telling me the truth because you see me as a pregnant womant. " Tammy raised her head and looked at the sky. "I sometimes feel life adult life is such a drag. It was so much more carefree when I was a student." "Your baby will enrich your life once they're born."
"But you're so far away from me! I won’t be able to hang out with you whenever I want anymore. It makes me sad." Tammy could not bear to part with Avery.
"I won't stay abroad forever. I'm still going to come back."
"Hearing you say that makes me feel a little better. I'm just worried you won’t come back after you leave. I mean, your company is there and all...”
"Aryadelle has always been my hometown. I'd like to retire in Aryadelle."
Mike leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade and glanced at Avery from time to time while playing with his cell phone.
He stopped contacting Chad after they quarreled in the hospital,
After all, he did not know when he would be coming back once he left.
There was a possibility he might stay abroad if Avery's eyes did not heal.
After hesitating, he sent Chad a message.
