Avery was still happily chatting with Tammy. She did not notice him walking over to her.
"Avery, are you nervous? You'll be giving birth soon." Tammy stirred the cup of juice in her hand with the straw.
"I'm not nervous, but I really want it out. My tummy is getting big, it's tiring." Avery ate some dessert. She asked, "What about you?"
"The answer I gave my in-laws was next year. I'll drag it until next year. I haven't had enough fun yet!"
"Having kids won't stop you from having fun." "I'm sure it will affect it somehow. I still like kids. Once I have one of my own, I won't be able to be stern enough to discipline them."
"You can take your kids around and play with them! Having kids will make things even more interesting. You don't have to worry too much."
"Hmm! You gave me a lot of courage. Whether it’s caring for your kids or working. You're not afraid at all," Tammy said enviously, "If I was a man, I would fall in love with you."
Avery chuckled lightly. "If you were a man, I'd marry you! Haha!"
Tammy laughed together with Avery when suddenly Elliot appeared within her sight. Tammy's laugh instantly vanished. She cleared her throat twice. "Why is he here?"
Avery looked in the direction in which Tammy was looking. When she saw Elliot, the smile on her face vanished too.
"You didn't invite him, right?" Tammy asked softly.
"No," Avery replied in a low voice.
"Oh...do I need to avoid him?" Tammy asked in whispers.
Avery replied, "No need."
At that moment, Elliot was already by their side, so he heard their conversation clearly.
He did not say anything. He merely looked at Avery's head with his cold gaze.
Avery felt her scalp exploding with pain. She immediately got up from her chair and pulled him away.
