Chapter 132 Avery did not react.
It was true that her relationship with Elliot was more boring than most.
Just last week, they had spent the entire time at home.
Elliot was either working in his study or reading a book in the living room.
Avery, on the other hand, was either writing her thesis or reading in the living room with him.
Elliot’s book was in a foreign language that Avery did not understand.
Avery was reading Professor Hough’s book on neurology.
She was sure Elliot would not understand a thing about it either, so she did not feel inferior to him.
“What do you think of my necklace?” Tammy asked as she suddenly took off the necklace she was wearing and showed it to Avery.
“It’s pretty. Did your boyfriend give it to you?”
“He did! It’s a Christmas gift. It’s even got my name engraved on it!”
“You can purchase jewelry which comes with a free engraving offer for under ten bucks,” said Avery in earnest. “You shouldn’t let these things go to your head!”
Tammy did not mind.
“It’s not about the engraving, I’m just happy that he got me something! When he stops being able to make me feel like this one day, I’d probably break up with him.”
Avery had nothing left to say.
“You’re acting surprisingly cold about this. Has Elliot never gotten you a gift before?” Tammy guessed. “He might be old and unromantic, but you’re still young! Can you stop being so morbid? If he won’t make the first move, then you should!”
Avery ignored Tammy and began to eat her lunch.
The concert kicked off at seven that evening.
Avery and Tammy were getting ready in the dressing room backstage.
“Avery! Is your husband”
“Remember where we are!” Avery hissed as she glanced at their surroundings.
Tammy cleared her throat, then asked softly, “Is Elliot here yet? Has he called you? I took a peek at the audience just now, and it’s crowded out there. Where’s he sitting?”
Avery checked her phone and saw that there were no new messages.
