Chapter 900
The gentle voice of a man came through the phone. "Avery."
Avery immediately recognized the voice.
"Adrian!" She had not expected Adrian to call her. "Is this your number, or are you calling me with your
family member''s phone?"
"My elder brother bought me a phone,” Adrian said, "He bought it for me because I said that I wanted to
call you."
Avery chuckled. "Have you been discharged? How are you feeling?"
"I-" Before Adrian could finish, a rough voice of a middle-aged man interrupted him.
"It''ste, Adrian, why aren''t you sleeping?
Who are you talking to? The doctor said you need rest.” It was Adrian''s father. "Give me your phone. I
will give it back tomorrow.
Shortly after, the call ended.
Avery scowled at her phone after they hung up.
Although Adrian was ill, it had been days since his surgery and he was not a child anymore; she was
surprised that his father would not give him the freedom to make a phone call.
Adrian''s father made it appear as though he was doing it for Adrian''s own good, but in truth, he was
just trying to take full control over Adrian.
Rage boiled within Avery, but she was helpless in this regard. Thankfully, she had obtained his contact,
and judging from his voice, Adrian was doing much betterpared to a few days ago.
In the evening, Avery drove home and saw Chad there as well. She was immediately reminded of what
she heard about Elliot from Shaun earlier that day as soon as she spotted Chad.
"Chad," Avery leaned closer to him and lowered her voice, "Did Elliot answer my call on speakerphone
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
yesterday?"
"Yeah. He didn''t do it on purpose, though the secretary spilled coffee on his phone and the screen got a
little slippery," Chad said.
Avery tensed at the confirmation. "Doesn''t that mean he''s embarrassed himself?"
Chad nodded. "He sure did! From yesterday up until now, everyone in thepany has been talking
about that. Mr. Foster might appear like he doesn''t care, but I think he is quite upset about it. His image
to all his employees has been destroyed.”
"I didn''t know that he was on speakerphone,” Avery exined awkwardly.
"It''s fine. Mr. Foster isn''t alone; you''ve embarrassed yourself as well," Chad consoled, "Not only have
the others been talking about Mr. Foster, they have been talking about you as well."
"What are you two talking about? Come eat! " Mike walked over ?b'';PMS< wrapped his arm around
Chad''s shoulders, before looking over at Avery. "Chad didn''t dare toe when I first called him here
for dinner today, Avery. He thought that you were still mad about what happenedst weekend.
Hahaha! I told him that you act petty when you are with Elliot, but are quite forgiving to practically
anyone else. Now he ought to believe me!"
Avery red at him. "I can tolerate that you are speaking ill of me behind my back, but can you not
repeat what you said in front of me all over again?"
"Does it even count as speaking ill of you? I''m saying that you have courage." Mike noticed the cold
expression on her face and instantly changed the topic. "By the way, I helped ask Hayden and La
about the first of April and they both don''t want to attend Jun''s wedding."
Avery looked at her two children. "Hayden, La, are you really not going? Your Aunt Tammy will be
there!"
Hayden shook his head. "I''m busy." "Uncle Jun made Aunt Tammy sad, so I''m not going to his
wedding." La pouted.
Avery recalled the message she received from Elliot the night before.
Elliot wanted her to take the children to Jun''s wedding because he wanted to see them, but since both
Hayden and La did not want to go, Avery did not intend on trying to change her children''s minds for
Elliot''s sake.
Soon, it was the first of April and April''s fool; it was also the day of Jun''s wedding.
Once Avery woke up, she called Tammy, but no one picked up.
