Ang mga pinto sa itim na Rolls-Roice ay naka-lock sarado.
Nakaupo si Avery sa kotse na puno ng panghihinayang.
Hindi pa siguro siya ganap na gising nang pumasok siya sa sasakyan noong umagang iyon.
Sa oras na siya ay hopped ito, ang mga pinto ay naka-lock na.
Ano ang kahulugan nito?
Ito ba ay isang pagdukot?
“Ano ang gusto mo, Elliot?” Tanong ni Avery habang nakakunot ang noo ni Elliot.
Hindi ba ito ang araw ng pakikipag-ugnayan niya?
Saan siya nakahanap ng oras para puntahan siya?
“Kla mo ba si Eric Santos, Avery?” Tanong ni Elliot habang itinaas ang tingin kay Avery na
kumikinang ang mga mata. “Huwag kang magsinungaling sa akin!”
Matapos sagutin ni Avery ang tawag niya noong umagang iyon, naubusan ng baterya ang kanyang
telepono at nag-shut down.
W siyang paraan para mman kung ano ang nangyayari online.
Tumunog ang mga rm bells sa ulo ni Avery sa bing pagbanggit kay Eric.
“Hindi ko. Bakit?”
Tinitigan niya ang pamilyar ngunit myong mukha ni Elliot at pinilit ang sarili na maging kalmado.
“Why would he help you if you didn’t know him?” Elliot snapped as he spoke faster. “I saw his photo on
your phone before. You’ve never fawned over celebrities, but you liked him for some reason. Yet, you
say you don’t know each other. Do you think I’m an idiot?!”
Avery was angered by his tone and retorted loudly, “What does my rtionship with him have anything
to do with you?!”
Her words instantly made Elliot calm down.
Was this her confession?
It would be amazing news if Avery actually knew Eric Santos.
“Help me contact him,” Elliot said in a hoarse voice with a hint of a plea. “I’ll owe you one.”
Avery could not hold back a scoff.
“I don’t know Eric Santos! Go find him yourself if you want!”
“Avery!”
“I won’t know him no matter how much you yell at me! Aren’t you getting engaged to Zoe Sanford
today? You can look for Eric Santos whenever you want, so why did you choose the day of your
engagement to do it? Your fiance would be crushed if you’rete!” Avery said.
Her words dragged a bitterugh out of Elliot.
His Adam’s apple rolled in his throat, then he said, “If you help me contact Eric Santos, then I’ ll get
engaged to Zoe!”
“What does your engagement have anything to do with me?!” Avery mocked. “Are you actually using
that to negotiate with me? Do you think I still love you?!”
Her words pierced through Elliot’s heart.
He had a strong feeling that Avery definitely knew Eric Santos!
Otherwise, he would note out of hiding just to stand up for Tate Industries!
However, Avery was not willing to help him.
If she was in trouble and went to him for help, he would give it his all without hesitation.
They may be divorced, but they still once had a rtionship.
Why was she acting this heartless?
She was a cruel woman!
Elliot fought through his aching heart and dialed Zoe’s number on his phone.
The disappointment in Zoe’s heart saw a glimmer of hope when she saw Elliot’s name light up on her
phone screen.
“Where are you, Elliot? I’m at the hotel with Aunt Rosalie and the others. We couldn’t reach you this
morning. All the guests were already here, so we didn’t wait for you.”
“I can’t go through with the engagement, Zoe,” Elliot said in a calm, restrained voice. “I’m with Avery
right now. I realized that I still love her.”
Avery sat frozen in the passenger seat in utter shock!
Was he insane?
He must have lost his mind!
Kung hindi, paano niya ito ginagawa ngayon? Paano niya nasabi ang mga bagay na iyon?
Ginagawa niyang tanga anghat!
Agad na napaluha si Zoe nang marinig ang sinabi ni Elliot.
Hindi niya inaasahan na ito ang resulta ng kanyang paghihintay sa buong umaga!
Si Avery Tate ay isang homewrecker!
Inakit niya tga si Elliot noong araw ng pakikipag-ugnayan nito sa kanya!
Paano niya ipapaliwanag anghat sa mga bisita ngayon?
Paano anghat ay tumingin sa kanya?
Siguradong magtatawanan s sa likod niya!
