Chapter 1974


    In Elliot''s mansion, a few cars were parked outside the yard.


    Once Avery got out of her car, Tammy and Shea stepped out of the house.


    Avery''s lips curled into a smile at the sight of them.


    She had been in a horrible mood the past few days and did not want to see anyone else, so the two


    had not visited.


    Sometimes, one''s friends might know one better than their lovers.


    "Avery, did you go see your mom?" Tammy approached her and beamed. "I heard that Wanda is


    dead. That''s great news."


    "Yeah. When did you arrive? Why didn''t you tell me?" Avery took Tammy''s hand in one of hers, and


    Shea''s hand in the other and strolled back into the house.

    "Mike told us that Wanda is dead in the chat group so I thought you must be in a better mood now,


    so I asked Shea out toe and see you together." Tammy pulled Avery to the couch to take their


    seats.


    Mrs. Cooper immediately came over with a bowl of soup and handed it to Avery." Lunch will be


    ready shortly."


    "Do you two want soup? Mrs. Cooper makes the best soup..." Avery asked them while holding the


    bowl.


    "Mrs. Cooper already served us the soup when we arrived, so we are both full. You can go ahead!"


    Tammy said with a smile." Mike said that Wanda died in a car ident but I feel like... Hayden must


    have something to do with it. That woman should have gone to h*ll long ago!" "Wanda was too


    powerful before, and I was worried that acting too soon would bring consequences that are hard to


    deal with."


    "How so? You had Elliot to back you up before. So even if you had killed Wanda with your own


    hands, nothing would have happened to you," Tammy said, forgetting the fact that she should not


    be mentioning Elliot''s name.


    Avery''s expression darkened.


    Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Tammy tried to apologize, but Avery beat her to it and


    said, "You are right. It''s my own issue. If only I was less stubborn with Elliot, stopped fighting him for


    a moment, and trusted him more, I could have asked him to take revenge for me." "Avery..." Tammy


    had not expected Avery to say such a thing.


    "I''ve finallye to realize that my love for him runs much deeper than I thought now that he is


    missing. Had I known that something would happen to him this year, I would have treasured every


    single day we had." A regretful expression appeared on Avery’s face as she held the bowl up.


    "Avery, my brother is alive. He promised me that he won’t die before me." Shea had slimmed down


    a lot due to loss of appetite : g.;WIU<ck of sleep for the past few days, but she still believed that


    Elliot was alive.


    "Yeah. I believe that he is still alive as well. I won''t ever stop looking for him," Avery said as she


    suppressed the sorrow she felt. "Let''s talk about something else!"


    "My Tiffany is now the boss in her school and all the boys are scared of her," Tammy said. "It''s only


    been a week since she started school and she has already brought three boys to tears by beating


    them. I was kind of worried that she would be bullied at school, but I guess I was overthinking it."


    "Why did she beat the boys?" Avery asked.


    "One of the boys was trying to sneak a peek at the girls in the bathroom; another refused to wash


    his hands after a meal and wiped them off someone else’s clothes; and thest removed his pants


    during a nap and Tiffany found it appalling..." Tammy could not help but chuckle. "I did tell her not to


    beat people up, but when she reasoned with them and they had refused to listen, she resorted to


    beating them." "She''s so much like you."
