Avery saw Elliot staring at the silvery-pink car and felt stricken.
The bodyguard spotted him and asked right away, "Miss Tate, should I go open the door for him?"
"... Yeah," Avery forced a hoarse voice from the depths of her throat. "Open the door for him. I will go get a glass of water."
With that, she turned and headed back into the mansion.
Elliot noticed that she was going inside and felt that she was avoiding him out of guilt.
The bodyguard headed to the door and let Elliot in.
"Who got your boss that pink car?" Elliot asked.
The bodyguard decided to pretend that he did not know a thing. "I don't know! Maybe she bought it herself? She doesn't really need to sit around, waiting for someone to buy her something she wants."
The bodyguard's word enlightened Elliot.
Avery took a sip of water, failing to regain her composure.
Elliot changed into slippers at the porch, all while staring intently at Avery's back.
"Did you buy that pink car?" he asked.
"Elliot, were you the one who bought me the red car?" she asked. "Why did you buy me a car?"
Elliot realized that she was not going to answer his question =h"
He noticed that she was brushing him off and said, "I already asked the staff, and they said they can’t customize the car. How exactly did you manage it? Or did someone give this to you?"
Avery's head spun at his questions. "Just tell me why you bought me a car? What are you trying to do? "
"Your dad's dream was to create a car equipped with an auto-pilot function, just like the ones Dream Maker has designed. I thought that you didn’t know about it, so I ordered one for you to try."
Avery felt slightly bashful when she learned the reason. She was surprised that Elliot had bought her the car because of that.
Naturally, she had not forgotten about her father's wish, but the fact that Elliot remembered it had moved her.
"How's your mother?" she asked.
