She felt dazed.They were sitting right next to one another, was it necessary to chat through messages?After sending Avery the message, Elliot opened the chat group while waiting for her to reply.'Tammy is so fierce! What kind of script is that? If this is a TV show, I am definitely going to call whoever directed it a mad man; but why do those words sound so romantic coming out of Tammy's mouth?' Ben typed.'Jun knows Tammy best, after all! Does this mean we need to make a transaction to Jun now?' Chad typed.'Jun has earned a fortune this time!' Ben replied.'Mike is asking me to add him into this group. Should I?' Chad asked.'You must want it for you to even ask. Go ahead and tell him to send money to Jun as well!''System notification: Mike has entered the chat.'Mike sent an animated picture of himself after entering the chat group and no one could dream of being as coquettish as he was.Elliot, Ben, and Chad all made transactions to the group. Mike had not expected to

She had been in a hurry when she headed out in the morning. Without paying much attention to the weather, she grabbed a jacket and left her house; apart from that, she had not intended on staying outside for long."Let's grab a cup of coffee!" He suggested."I don't want to." She had too much to eat at lunch. "Let's just walk!""Sure."WIth his jacket on her shoulders, she could sense his scent penetrating into her as he occupied her thoughts.If the man next to her wasn't Elliot, she would definitely not remain out in the cold wind."You have misunderstood me the last time we spoke on the phone," he said, breaking the silence. "I didn't mention Shea to evade the topic. I was sad that you said that."Avery's heart settled down at his low, husky voice, though she might have argued with him had he mentioned this on the phone."Why did you mention Shea then? Elliot, we aren't kids anymore and I don't enjoy guessing around." She raised her leg and kicked at a small rock on the road

If only his father was an ordinary father like any other, he would not have become Elliot Foster, known for being ferocious and cruel.Avery stared at him dazedly, unable to say a word.She had never imagined that behind his seemingly successful life, hid such a miserable past. She had thought that she had it hard enough after her father's affair, her parents' divorce and being bullied by her step-mother, she hadn't expected that Elliot had it worse than her.Her misery was on the outside and everyone knew about it; whereas his could only be hidden away within his heart."Don't look at me like that, Avery." He scowled. "I don't need your pity."She shook her head. "I'm not pitying you. I am just thinking if we would have saved all the trouble if only you had told me this earlier.""My personality made it impossible for me to tell you any earlier than this," he said as he strolled forward. "My love for you accumulated day after day until it reached a certain level, before I could

"Are you sure that's what she said?" Elliot asked. The bodyguard's mind went blank and suddenly forgot the exact words Avery used. "Um... In any case, I scolded her and she didn't get angry," he finally said with certainty. "You scolded her?" Elliot scowled as he breathed heavily. "Who gave you the right to scold her?! What did you say?"Feeling slightly scared and guilty, the bodyguard said with no regret, "I said she was ungrateful, which she is! You treat her so well and not only is she not grateful, she argues and fights with you every single day! I think she is even more of a drama queen than Tammy Lynch! I wouldn't put up with her if I was you! I would just dump her and take her children from her, so that she regrets it so much that she cries herself to sleep every night!"Elliot gritted his teeth. He would have punched his bodyguard had he been standing right next to him. The bodyguard noticed the heavy breathing on the other end of the line and was instantly alerted.

Avery's heart sank.They were incompatible with each other.Did Ben say that or Elliot?Elliot decided not to get entangled with her. In that case, it must be him that felt that they were incompatible with each other which was why he told Ben that!"Avery, why are you in a daze? Did I say something wrong again?" Mike was a little nervous. "Chad was there too. He could be the witness that Ben really said that.""I do believe you." Avery picked up her utensils. She quickly collected her thoughts. "Since he finds us incompatible, then I'll respect his opinion!""Oh, why do I sense a hint of disappointment in your tone? Don't you hate him? Since he has decided not to get hung up over you, shouldn't you be happy?" Mike never knew when to hold his tongue.It was not like he had never been in love. Of course, he knew why Avery was disappointed.Avery hated Elliot because Elliot did not relieve her of her anger. If Elliot were to continue coaxing her, once her anger subsided, she could
