A minute later, the car stopped by the roadside urgently.
Chad got out of the car and ran home!
Mike punched the steering wheel! He could not ask Chad to give up on his family, but he also did not want to be the one that was given up on.
He felt aggrieved, so he took his phone out. He wanted to call Avery to complain.
Before dialing, he suddenly remembered that Bridgedale has a time difference. At that hour, Avery must have already been in bed.
He did not want to disturb Avery's sleep, but it would be fine to disturb Elliot.
He sent Elliot a message. About an hour
later, Elliot gave him a call.
"Is Avery asleep?" Mike asked.
"She just fell asleep. What's up?" Elliot was having the call in the bathroom. Even so, his voice was very soft.
"Chad's mother fainted due to high blood pressure. I caused it." Mike was smoking gloomily. "I'm guessing Chad hates me to death right now."
"He told you about this before."
"Yes! But I can't just stay silent about our relationship just because of this right? Is this fair to me?" Mike let out a puff of smoke. "He doesn't want to answer my call right now nor reply to my messages. What does that mean? Is he breaking up with me?
Elliot said, "Give him some time. Maybe his mother is in the hospital, and he needs to take care of her." "Oh. Before I told them about my relationship with Chad, his parents liked me a lot." Mike felt terrible. "After announcing to them, their attitude toward me changed very quickly. I'm very lost right now. He doesn't let me go look for him, but I don't want to see you and Avery being all lovey-dovey."
Mike was waiting at the Starry River Villa at that moment.
There was only a night lamp by the bed, it was dim, so it would not affect her sleep. He wanted to lay down next to her
