“Why?” she asked bitterly. “Even if you didn’t want kids, there’s no need for you to say such cruel words!”
Elliot’s deep eyes were cold as he said, “What if you decided to take the chance if I didn’t make myself clear?”
Avery took a deep breath and shifted her gaze from him.
She was terrified. It felt like she was about to fall into a bottomless pit.
Her reaction piqued Elliot’s curiosity.
His lips curled up as he mocked, “You’re not really thinking of having my kid, are you?”
Avery glared at him.
“I suggest you take my warning seriously. You know the kind of person I am. My actions will be much more severe than my words. Don’t test me if you want to live,” Elliot said, then turned to look out the window.
Avery clenched her fists and huffed, “Don’t worry, I will never give you children. You know how much I despise you. The most urgent matter right now is to quickly get a divorce!”
The babies did not belong to him alone.
If she gave birth, she would be doing it for herself.
Once the kids were grown, she would tell them that their father was dead!
“Now isn’t the time. We’ll talk about it again once my mother’s get better,” Elliot said.
His tone was calmer. Perhaps her words were effective.
It made him realize that he was not the man she wanted.
“Don’t drag it out for too long, then,” Avery said.
She furrowed her brows and was a little anxious.
Her pregnancy would begin to show if they delayed things further.
She would not be able to keep it from him by then, and would definitely be forced to get an abortion.
“You’re in a hurry to divorce me. Is there some urgent matter you need to attend to?” Elliot asked as his cold eyes fell on her, trying to see through her.
Avery’s heart suddenly skipped a bit.
“Nope! There’s nothing urgent. I just… I just don’t want to stay with you. Has nobody ever told you how suffocating it is to be by your side?”
“They wouldn’t dare say it even if they thought it,” Elliot replied dryly.
“Oh… It’s no wonder you don’t like me,” Avery said with a pout. “But it’s stifling to not say what I want to say.”
Elliot pondered to himself, and thought she had misunderstood something in the end.
“No man could tolerate his wife dressing up like a prostitute to escort other men.”
“Wearing a slip dress makes me a prostitute? Socializing is escorting other men? What about when you men socialize?” Avery retorted. “Even if you hold a knife to my neck right now, I would still insist that I wasn’t wrong last night.”
It was like they were both from different planets.
Other than the fact that they were both human, they were complete opposites in every other aspect.
“Are you saying you’d do it again?” Elliot said.
His lips were slightly curled upwards in a sinister manner.
Avery pursed her lips and pushed herself into the corner out of instinct.
“I don’t even drink, how could I possibly drink with others. I wouldn’t drink even if the sky falls.”
She would never take the lives of the babies in her womb lightly.
Even if her father’s company goes bankrupt, she would never sell herself out for money.
Avery’s answer extinguished the raging fury inside of Elliot.
The driver drove the car towards Elliot’s mansion.
Avery jumped out of the car just as it came to halt, as if trying to escape.
Elliot watched her slender back, then said to the driver, “To the office.”
…
Avery let out a heavy sigh of relief after the car drove off.
After she took an afternoon nap, she arrived at Tate Industries at 2.30 p.m.
