Chapter 149


    Avery spoke first.


    "Tomorrow is a weekend. Are you free?"


    "In the morning or afternoon?" Elliot asked.


    His voice sounded low and hoarse, yet it was still filled with the same maism and was just as


    attractive as it had been four years ago.


    "In the morning!" Avery answered.


    Her judgment was impaired by the alcohol. She felt particrly brave, and so, she spoke without


    thinking things through.


    "Remember to bring along your ID and marriage certificate. If our meeting goes well, we could sign the


    divorce papers tomorrow morning itself!"


    Elliot had not expected Avery to be this aggressive.


    It waspletely different from what Chad described.


    "You''ll regret this, Avery," Elliot said as his Adam''s apple bobbed in his throat, and his grip around his


    phone tightened.


    "I won''t f*cking regret it!"


    Elliot''s words had struck a chord in Avery.


    "If the divorce goes through tomorrow, I''m getting some fireworks and setting them off for the next


    twenty-four hours!" Avery said, then burst intoughter.


    As Elliot listened to her charmingugh, he realized that something was off.


    "Did you drink, Avery?" he asked.


    She had never even used to touch a drop of alcohol! Not only was she drinking now, but she was


    drunk. A raging fury ignited in Elliot.


    "What can you do about it?! I''ll drink when I want to. No one can control me!" Avery yelled arrogantly.


    "We''re getting a divorce tomorrow!" Elliot hissed through gritted teeth.


    It was true that nobody could control Avery.


    As the head of Alpha Technologies, she was worth billions.


    They may be husband and wife, but that was purely in name.

    No, their rtionship no longer existed even in name! Everyone around them knew that they had


    broken up. Since that was the case, then it was time to put a full stop to this marriage!


    Avery was pping her hands.


    Elliot was livid and hung up on her.


    If he stayed on the phone, his blood pressure would


    reach a breaking point.


    When her phone screen turned dark, Avery let out a dryugh, then fell back heavily on the bed.


    "I''m finally free! We''re finally getting a divorce!"


    Avery chuckled, staring at the ceiling as hot tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.


    "Elliot... I do feel regret... I regret meeting you. I regret marrying you. I regret falling for you..." 3


    The next day, as sunlight poured in through the windows, Avery rubbed her tired eyes as shey in


    bed.


    Her head was pounding from all the alcohol she had consumed the night before.


    She reached out to grab her phone, then saw a text message from Elliot.


    He had sent her the meeting location at midnight.


    Avery put her phone down and massaged her aching temples.


    Once the pain began to subside, she got out of bed.


    Avery arrived at the cafe that Elliot reserved at ten in the morning.


    She wore a ck dress with her hair pulled back. She had even dabbed on some light makeup.


    However, her exquisite makeup did not manage to cover her fatigued and bloodshot eyes.


    She ordered a cup of ck coffee.


    Half an hourter, she was finished with it.


    Avery nced at the time, then ordered another cup.


    By eleven in the morning, she had already finished her second cup of coffee.


    She did not order a third.


    Avery pulled out her phone and dialed Elliot''s number.


    They had agreed to meet at ten, but why was he nowhere to be seen?


    Did he change his mind about the divorce, or did something happen?
