Avery heard his explanation, and she instantly lost it.
"Where is the burial pit!" She choked up and stood up from the sofa.
Elliot stood up too. He walked over and pushed her back down on the sofa.
"I have already sent someone to check it." He sat down next to her and looked at her from a close distance. "Avery, other than Ivy's matter, I'm most worried about you. I have thought about it the entire night. Why is your boyfriend like a shadow? Since you two are already together, why won't you introduce him to us?"
"Elliot, are you my parents? Why should I get him to meet you?" said Avery, quickly recollecting her emotions.
"Even if we’re not family, we are considered friends, right? Are you not going to let your friends meet him?" said Elliot, compromising. "Even if you can’t let us meet him, let me see his photo! ”
"No,” Avery said. "I don't like photos."
"Is he a dwarf?"
"Elliot, this is his privacy. Why do you insist on knowing?" Avery took a deep breath. "I don't pick my boyfriends based on looks, body, or disability. As long as he is mature and can get along with me, I'll be fine."
Avery's answer sort of confirmed Elliot's suspicion.
Billy was how Natalie described him to be!
"You're doing it because of his money, right?" Elliot's eyes reddened. He spoke nastily, "If not, I truly can't understand why you would find such a man! I heard that not only is he ugly and disabled, but he even has some perverted kink! We have been together for so many years. How could I have not known that you have such a kink?
Avery was speechless.
"Are you doing it for the money, the thrill, or just to provoke me?" Elliot's fury enveloped him.
She looked at his darkened expression and listened to his aggressive tone. She lost all her senses.
"Where is Mr. Foster?" The bodyguard placed the food on the coffee table
Perhaps quarreling with Elliot took up so much of her energy, and Avery was a little hungry at that moment.
She picked up the bacon pancake without any hesitation. She took a whiff. "Smells great."
"Miss Tate, did you quarrel with Elliot?"
"How did you know?"
"It's not hard to guess. He wanted to stay for breakfast."
"He has crossed the line. I wondered where he had heard that Billy is ugly, disabled, and even has a kink. I wonder who had spread those rumors! How absurd!" The more she spoke the angrier she got. It did not affect her ability to finish her breakfast.
"Oh. No wonder he came to look for you so early in the morning. His eyes were bloodshot. He surely did not sleep last night." The bodyguard was having the bowl of granola while chatting with Avery. "But, that means that he still cares for you. If my ex-girlfriend found a dirtbag as her current boyfriend, I would be so happy I could die."
