The person texting Avery probably did not expect Elliot to be right next to her and was shocked for a moment.
Avery composed herself, then texted: [You said you're Chelsea Tierney's cousin. Why should I believe you?]
[I really am her cousin! My name is Ruby Sullivan. Call and ask Chelsea if you don't believe me. You have her number, right?]
[I don’t. Send me her number.]
Avery had Chelsea’s number. She said she did not so she could check if the person texting her was a liar.
The person sent Avery a series of numbers.
Avery checked it with Chelsea's number and then confirmed that the person did know Chelsea.
Her heart instantly turned cold.
If this person really was Chelsea’s cousin, then could what she said be true?
The world began to spin around Avery as her temples suddenly began to throb in pain.
Elliot spent every single day with her and the children. He had absolutely no interaction with Chelsea. How was it possible that he was suddenly marrying her?
If he was going to marry Chelsea, then he should be by her side right now!
Was Chelsea not disfigured?
Even with that fact aside, how could Elliot possibly feel anything for Chelsea?
Avery’s back broke into a cold sweat at this
point.
She could not forget all of the pain that Chelsea put her through, nor could she forget how she tormented Tammy!
If Elliot dared to date Chelsea, then Avery would no longer want anything to do with him!
However, as long as he still had his reason, Elliot should know that he could only pick one between her and Chelsea.
Ruby: [Why aren't you saying anything? You're embarrassed and feeling bad, aren't you? You're a homewrecker! You wh*re!]
Avery's eyes stung slightly as she read the text, and her fingers trembled as she typed a response.
