Chapter 924


    "Avery, what are you doing?" Elliot''s voice was hoarse and cold.


    Avery could hear that Elliot had just gotten up because his tone was rather emotional.


    "I''m going to Bridgedale to tend to something.” Avery went past security and headed inside. "It''s early.


    Who told you I''m going abroad?"


    Elliot did not answer her question, but asked, "It’s almost the children''s birthday. Do you have to go to


    Bridgedale now? Is there something urgent?"


    If it was as usual, Avery might have said that he was being nosy. However, at that moment, she was


    strangely calm. She did not want to fight with him over such a small thing.


    Elliot was asking her all these questions out of concern.


    "It''s nothing urgent," Avery said calmly," Elliot, these are my private affairs. I don’t need to tell you. I will

    be back before the children’s birthday."


    Elliot rubbed the middle of his brow. He calmed down. "As long as you''re fine."


    "Hmm, go back to bed. I''m about to board." Avery lowered her gaze. She thought about how long has


    she not spoken to him properly in that way. Their go-to method was always using the harshest words


    on each other.


    "Okay."


    After the call, he flipped the covers and got off the bed. He strode into the washroom. He turned on the


    tap and sshed cold water on his face. He looked at himself in


    the mirror in a daze.


    The water droplets flowed down his face, drip by drip!


    Turns out, that when one cares for another person, they cannot hide it. When he called her just now, he


    never considered that they were still not on speaking terms. He also did not consider whether she


    would pick up his call or not. Neither did he think about what would happen to his dignity if she did not


    pick up his call.


    Fortunately, she did not reject his call or me him for meddling in her affairs.


    After more than ten hours, the nended in Bridgedale. When Avery came out of the airport, she


    initially decided to head straight to Adrian''s house, but she thought that it was still early. It would be


    rude to head over there. She might even disturb their rest.


    Thus, Avery returned home. She showered < c%;SLP: changed into a clean set of clothes before


    ordering takeout.


    While waiting for takeout, she called Mike to tell him about her arrival.


    "Avery, after you left this morning, Ben came to look for you at home," Mike said," He came to


    apologize. He did not intend to drive a wedge between you two..."


    "I know he didn''t mean to do it. He was doing it for Elliot." Avery rubbed her temples. Due to the time


    difference, she was quite tired.


    "He said it was for your good too! Hahaha!" Mike could not help butugh. "He said he has never seen


    a couple like you two, tormenting each other for seven years. I thought about it, and he seems to make


    sense.


    Avery pursed her lips. She did not know how to reply.


    "But looking at how you two can drive each other crazy and yet still cannot forget each other, perhaps


    you two are destined to be! If it were for other couples, I think they would have long given up."


    "Stop mocking me." Avery took a cup to get some water. "By the way, tell Ben that I don''t me him.


    He doesn''t need to apologize to me."


    "Hahaha! He doesn’t want to apologize to you either. Elliot is angry at him, sending him to exile. He is


    "Impossible," Avery said and hung up.


    She did not want to interfere with their friendship! A momentter, the takeout arrived.


    Avery had breakfast and she felt better. At ten in the morning, she went to the garage to get her car


    and drove to the Whites. She thought about the time after she met Adrian.
