Elliot could see. Avery was indeed doing well.
After Avery got in the car, she took a flask out from her back, twisted the cap open, and drank some warm water.
Mike waited for her to finish drinking before moving the car.
"What are we having for lunch?" He asked.
Avery said, "It's not lunch yet, I'm not hungry.”
Mike replied, "We could still decide beforehand!"
Avery pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Next time, I’ll deal with lunch on my own.
Mike had to have meat for every meal.
Avery was not interested in meat at all at that moment. Before her pregnancy, she had a good appetite, so if Mike saw her not eating meat, he would definitely be suspicious.
"Are you trying to lose weight?" Mike asked suspiciously, "Avery, stop doing that to yourself! You’re not becoming a celebrity. You don’t have to compare yourself to them!
Avery clutched her forehead. She knew Mike was meticulous, he would surely simply speculate.
"I'm not going on a diet. I just don't want to have lunch with you."
"Why? If you don't have lunch with me, who are you having lunch with?"
Avery said, "I think we should still keep some distance. I heard what Chad said last night. You care so much about Chad and Elliot's relationship, what if Chad also cares about your relationship with me?"
Mike was speechless.
Avery continued, "We'll eat on our own in the future. We can still head back home together after work."
Mike said, "Oh.okay!"
At that moment, Mike's phone rang. He fished his phone out and had a look at who was calling. He slowed the car down and put on his Bluetooth earpiece.
