Chapter 450


    Chapter 450 However, no one was forcing Elliot to drink. Once he finished the bottle, Ben looked at


    him and asked, “is your injurypletely recovered? Didn’t the doctor tell you to stay away from


    alcohol for three months? It hasn’t been three months yet, right?”


    Jun heard them and hastily brought over a bottle of fruit juice.

    “Elliot, drink some juice!” Jun cleared all the wine bottles in front of Elliot. “There’s still food left in the


    kitchen, do you guys want25 some?”


    Ben finished his own bottle and dragged Elliot towards the kitchen. As soon as the two left, the mood in


    the living room had lightened up instantly.


    Ben went to pour a ss of juice and passed it togc Elliot.


    “If only I knew that it’s going to be this awkward, I wouldn’t have brought you here,” Ben said with a


    bitter smile, “why don’t I send you back?”


    Jun stood beside them and said, “you both drank, so neither of you can drive. I booked an ambnce


    today, so maybe you guys can go back by23 ambnce?’


    Both Ben and Elliot were rendered speechless by the notion.


    Seeing how shocked they were, Jun said, “um… If you don’t want to head back, you can just rest here.


    I booked a total of eight mansions, so there should be enoughza rooms.”


    Confused, Ben asked, “why did you book an ambnce?”


    “…Avery skipped lunch today and needed Tammy’s help going upstairs. I was worried that she might


    faint, so I called an ambnce here to standby,” Jun exined, “this ce is miles away from the


    closest hospital, after35 all.”


    Ben felt even more confused. “Why didn’t she eat?”


    “I don’t know! Tammy won’t let me ask about it and said that I am on Elliot’s side… It’s not that she


    hates Elliot, but she is very protective over Avery. I can understand, since they have been friends for


    many years…” Jun said while peeping at Elliot.


    Elliot’s face was slightly flushed from the wine he drank earlier, but he wasn’t sure if he was in the right


    mind. “Did she eat at night?”


    “I think so! Tammy drove and bought some spicy chicken soup for her. Avery seemed quite energetic


    when she came downstairs, so she must have eaten,” Jun said.


    Elliot picked up the ss of juice and took a sip. Jun suddenly remembered something and added,


    “Avery ate a lot of fruit this morning,


    though! She hadn’t touched any other snacks and only ate fruits. Tammy had ordered those fruits from


    overseas beforehand, and I was wondering why she had ordered so many; I didn’t realize it was for


    Avery until I saw how happy she was when she was eating those fruits this morning.”


    Both Elliot and Ben remained quiet thoughtfully.


    After a while, Ben narrowed his eyes and concluded, “I guess she is really trying to lose weight, then.


    Myst girlfriend tried losing weight by eating nothing but fruit back then. She won’t even touch


    anything that has gluten in it because it contains high sugar content.”


    “Isn’t that the case for fruits as well?” Jun asked in confusion.


    “Still better than gluten. They will have to calcte the calories of their food intake precisely… “Ben


    exined, “my ex-girlfriend went on a diet to please me. She wasn’t fat to begin with, just slightly


    chubby. But when she found out that all my exes were skinny, she went on a crazy diet… In the end, I


    was just too worried that her body would copse from the diet, so I broke up with her.”


    “So… Can Avery be on a diet to…please a certain guy?”


    Ben nced at the dark expression on Elliot’s face and said, “probably for Eric’s sake!”


    The temperature in the air instantly dropped.


    To ease the tension, Jun picked up a wine ss and said, “Ben, if you guys are not going back, then


    let’s drink.”


    “It depends on whether Elliot wants to head back. I’ll go with him if he wants to; if he is not going, then


    I’ll stay and drink with you.”


    “You two go ahead!” Elliot said in a dark expression, before getting up from the chair and heading


    towards the stairs.


    Sensing that something was wrong, Jun followed him. “Do you want to rest, Elliot?”


    Elliot only hummed in response.


    “I’ll take you to the guest room next door, then.” Jun took his arm and tried to lead him outside, as the


    guest rooms in this mansion had been assigned.


    Elliot scowled. “Leave me alone.”
