Chapter 1894


    Avery could not help but chuckle.


    [You would have still epted Ben''s proposal even if Elliot hadn''t said a word to you!]


    [Probably not this soon though. I enjoy being pursued. What happens if he puts less effort into our


    rtionship once I agree to marry him?]


    [Hahaha . ]


    [The way youugh is really unsettling, Avery.]


    [Life wouldn''t always be thrilling. Peace and stability are the best things that you can ask for. Just


    think about how other married couples fight. Isn''t that more terrifying?] [True. I just want to continue


    working even after I marry him. Otherwise, I would lose my mind from staying at home every single


    day and start picking fights with him]


    [Just enjoy the moment and don''t overthink it.]


    [Yeah!]


    Elliot was on his way to Avery’s house when he received a call from Natalie. He put on his bluetooth


    earphones and answered the call.


    "Elliot, I heard that Avery is dating the owner of Dream Maker, is that true?" Natalie asked.


    "Why are you asking?"


    Natalie hesitated for a moment and said,"


    The friend I told you about doesn''t exist."


    Elliot scowled. "Do you know what you are talking about, Natalie?"


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "Of course, I do. Where are you right now? Let''s meet and talk!" Natalie knew she had made a fool


    of herself, but someone might use what happened against her even if she kept quiet about it. If that


    was the case, she decided it was best to face the situation with honesty.


    Elliot turned his car around and drove toward Tate Industries to find Natalie waiting outside the


    building entrance.


    Elliot stopped the car before her and she went to open the door to the passenger seat before


    getting in.


    "Buy me a cup of coffee," she said calmly.


    "When did youe back?" Elliot started driving.


    "Yesterday," she said. "I''m in quite a bit of a shock after meeting Billy so I came back. I don''t want to


    go to Bridgedale again anytime soon."


    "I thought he doesn’t meet with people? How did you manage to ask him out?" Elliot was curious as


    to what she had done.


    "I will show you the emails between me =h): VJT> himter. I asked a few friends and they all had


    nothing but praise for Dream Maker. I didn''t want to give up, so I tried a few tricks. Thinking back, I


    realize how stupid I had been. Billy probably agreed to meet with me simply because he was


    impressed by how foolish I was," she said.


    Elliot stopped the car before a cafe nearby.


    The two headed inside to order, and Natalie opened the mailbox in her phone and handed it over to


    Elliot, before saying awkwardly, "don''tugh at me, Elliot."


    He epted her phone and nced through her email with Billy. After a short while, he returned it


    to her.


    He did not read the first email Natalie had sent Billy in detail as he was not interested in Natalie’s


    efforts of "seducing" Billy. He merely wanted to confirm if the email address indeed belonged to


    Billy.


    "Dwarf. Ugly-looking. Are these all true?" Elliot asked in a low voice. "Does he not have any


    redeeming quality?"


    "Probably just his talent for business, but apart from that, he is the worst. I''ve never seen a man that


    hideous before. Elliot, if someone refuses to show his face, it''s an easy guess that he only does so


    because he is disabled and ugly. There can''t be another exnation to it."


    Elliot’s expression darkened.


    "Which is why when I came home and heard that Avery was dating him, I was so shocked that Iy


    awake all night," Natalie continued.


    "Why does it matter to you who Avery dates?" Elliot asked mercilessly.
