Avery thought from a different angle. If Elliot was the one that slapped her that day, she would resent
him for life. She would even go to the hospital to have an abortion in a fit of rage.
At that thought, she secretly felt that he was most probably never going to look for her anymore.
A week later, in one of the most high-end restaurants in the city.
The bruises on Tammy’s face have almost recovered fully. She asked Avery out to dinner, wanting to
buy her a meal.
Initially, Tammy got Avery to bring the two children along as well, but Wesley brought them and Shea
out to play.
“Avery, Elliot did not look for you for the past few days, right?” Tammy saidee worriedly.
“Hmm.” Avery ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to her.
“I heard that he has been at home for the past few days. He never left home.” When Tammy said that
she could not help but laugh.
“I don’t really hate him anymore. For real. At the thought of him feeling worse than me, I want to laugh.
After all, his family is much wealthier than mine. His status is much higher than mine. Hahaha!”
Avery found it hard to laugh. However, seeing how happy Tammy was, it spread to her too.
“Avery, how are you feeling recently?” Tammy changed the topic.
“In a week, you’ll get your checkup results. I dreamed about this last night. I woke up in sweat…”
Avery replied, “I can eat well and sleep well. I don’t feel uncomfortable.”
Perhaps, she had already expected the worst of it, so she did not think too much about this.
“That’s good then!” Tammy ordered and passed the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter left with the menu, Tammy said, “Jun is planning to take me on a holiday, to relax. It’s
almost the summer holidays, why don’t you take the kids along together and we’ll go have fun!”
Avery rejected Tammy without thinking, “You’re going on a holiday with your husband. How can I be the
third wheel? Also, Hayden is going to summer camp. I’m planning to sign one up for Layla too. My
tummy is getting bigger now. It’s getting harder.”
“I don’t think your tummy is really that big. Other pregnant women’s tummy is much bigger! Even if they
are only five months pregnant, it looks extremely big!” Tammy wondered out loud, “When you had the
twins the last time, was it even more tiring?”
“That was six years ago. Back then, I was still young, my body was still in a good condition. Before
birth, I was still in school!” Avery sighed.
“I didn’t feel that tired previously.”
Tammy was just about to say something when she saw someone at the entrance of the restaurant from
the corner of her eye.
Chelsea was in a long red dress. She was with a lady in a white dress entering the restaurant.
“What an unlucky day!” Tammy said coldly, “Chelsea is here.”
Avery followed her gaze and looked toward the entrance of the restaurant.
Perhaps their gaze was way too direct, so Chelsea noticed them too.
The white-dressed lady next to Chelsea looked over at them too.
At that moment, Tammy realized something fishy!
“Avery, that lady in white looks a lot like you! At first glance, I thought it was you!” Tammy said in shock,
“If you weren’t sitting next to me, I would have thought that it was you.”
Avery noticed it too. Where did Chelsea find a lady that looked so much like her?
“Avery, wait here for a while,” Tammy said before striding over to Chelsea. Tammy wanted to have a
closer look at the white-dressed lady!
Two minutes later, Tammy had a good look and returned to her seat.
“Avery, I think that woman had something done to her face to look like you! I immediately noticed that
her face was made up. However, men might not be able to notice them,” Tammy speculated, “Chelsea
must be trying to get Elliot to like her by any means necessary. I’m guessing that she wants to present
this lady to Elliot!”
Avery’s expressions darkened. She lost her appetite.
At that moment, a commotion came from the entrance of the restaurant. Avery looked over and saw
Elliot in a dark-colored shirt and pants striding in under the protection of his bodyguard.
