Chapter 1186


    Avery removed her gardening gloves and took the cell phone.


    The caller was Tammy.


    She answered the phone and heard Tammy''s hurried voice. "Tammy! Ben crossed the line! He cursed


    you! He sent those unpleasant messages to their group chat and deleted it soon after, but Jun read


    everything and decided to tell me because he felt that Ben had gone overboard."


    Avery was stunned. "He was cursing me?"


    "Yeah! He said some really awful things! I didn''t read the messages, but Jun said that it was horrible.


    Even if you quarreled with Elliot, it''s something that should remain between you two. Ben has no right


    to be scolding you!" Tammy was so furious that it was almost as if she was the one who was being


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    cursed. "He deleted the messages after Jun and Chad chastised him in the group chat, but that doesn''t


    mean it didn''t happen." Tammy continued. "Remember to just ignore him in the future, Avery. He''s


    probably irritable because he’s having a mid-life crisis or something."


    Avery was rtively calm as she guessed," Perhaps he managed to talk to Elliot!"


    "Even if he did, he doesn''t have the right to scold you! And Elliot''s a scaredy-cat too. If he’s unhappy at


    something, he should being forward to exin why he is! He has no standards if he’s just going to


    let Ben curse at you in the group!" Tammy scolded them both at once. "I used to think that he was


    different from other men, but now it seems that men are all the same." "Jun''s a pretty good guy."


    Tammy’s anger was quelled slightly. "He''s different! We''re talking about Elliot here! I called him earlier


    but I still couldn''t get through to him! Hasn''t hee home yet?"


    "He did when I brought La out to buy flowers this afternoon."


    "Oh, I wonder when that scaredy-cat would finally decide to see you!"


    "Next week, perhaps!" Avery was quite certain that Elliot would look for her in a week.


    Mike''s car drove up as soon as Avery ended the phone call with Tammy.


    It was the weekend, so Mike came over to meet Avery and the children.


    La immediately put her shovel aside =b''> QIQ: ran toward him.


    "Are you nting trees with your mother?" Mike handed La the gift he bought and walked toward


    Avery.


    "Why are you here?" Avery nced at him.


    "You''re asking me that? Didn''t we agree to get together once a week? Am I an eyesore to you now?"


    Mike took her by the arm and led her into the vi. "Aren''t you afraid of getting a tan? The sun''s pretty


    hot outside. Studies have shown that skin aging is mainly caused by UV rays."


    "Aging is inevitable." Avery patted the soil on her body before entering the vi. "Are you going to stay


    for dinner tonight?"


    "Of course. It''s already two though. Aren''t you nning on taking a nap today?"


    "I didn''t think about a nap, but since you''re here... I guess I’ll get some shut-eye!" Avery had a rather


    exhausted expression. "I''ve been longing to get some sleep." Her energy wascking during the


    daytime because she had been losing sleep for several nights while having to wake up very early the


    next morning.


    "Let me bring you to your room."


    "Is something wrong? Do you have something to tell me?" Avery nced at the two children, who were


    unwrapping the gifts that Mike bought.
