Avery did not see Elliot's message immediately because she went to bed after she saw Eric's Tweet.
Early pregnancy was usually associated with nausea and drowsiness. She could sleep easier for the past two days.
Usually, when she occasionally could not sleep, she had to rely on melatonin to get a good night's sleep.
However, that night, she fell asleep after lying in bed. She slept all the way until five in the morning the next day.
If it were not for her wanting to pee, she should still be able to sleep.
Once she woke up, the first thing she did was to take her phone and look at the time. Turns out, she saw Elliot's message. She was stunned. She quickly took her phone to the washroom.
Elliot's message read, [Were you looking for me yesterday?]
Yesterday? Avery thought back carefully. She did not look for him the day before!
Hold up!
She looked at the time he sent the message. It was ten-thirty the night before! Avery felt chills running down her back. She was completely awake.
Coming out of the washroom, she took her phone back to bed. After lying down in bed, she looked at his news. She was hesitating about how to reply to him. Should she tell him that she was pregnant? He needed to recuperate at that moment. She better not use that to agitate him.
However, it was not easy to come up with a lie. Elliot was extremely alert. He was not that easy to lie to.
After thinking and struggling for a while, Avery replied, [I passed by your place the day before, so I thought to stop by.]
