“I’m pregnant, so I can’t just simply take medication,” Avery said. “It’ll be fine after a few days. I just need t o cover it up with makeup for now.”
“You… Get some more sleep!”
Laura patted snazzynovel.com legs, urging Avery to lie down.
Avery shook snazzynovel.com head and said, “I’m not tired anymore. I’ll just look through my phone.”
When snazzynovel.com turned on snazzynovel.com phone, snazzynovel.com noticed the missed call from Mrs. Cooper. She thought of calling back, but the crowded bus was noisy. After some consideration, snazzynovel.com decided to talk to snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com got home. Suddenly, the day’s headline popped up on one of the news apps on snazzynovel.com phone.
It read, ‘Cole Foster Carried Out of Casino in the Dead of the Night! Suspected of Owing a Loan Shark Money!’
Avery took a deep breath and clicked on the headline.
She saw the photos of the night before.
There was one of Cole being carried out of the casino, and one of snazzynovel.com being taken to the hospital.
The familiar face next to snazzynovel.com belonged to none other than Cassandra.
Avery had not seen snazzynovel.com sister in a long time, but snazzynovel.com noticed that snazzynovel.com was dressed even more promiscuously than before.
If Cole had not gotten in trouble with the loan sharks, snazzynovel.com probably would have spent the night with snazzynovel.com at some fancy hotel!
Avery closed the news app and checked snazzynovel.com messages.
She noticed a text from Tammy that read: (Avery! I almost slept with Jun Hertz last night! Sh*t! We were halfway there when my period came out of nowhere!
Avery was extremely shocked.
Avery: (Aren’t you moving too fast?!)
Tammy: (We had a little bit too much to drink last night… Ugh! You should’ve seen his expression when I started bleeding… He was disappointed, but snazzynovel.com still went out and got me a tampon.)
Avery: (Don’t they have those in the hotel room?!)
Tammy: (…We spent the night at his apartment. I might have agreed to date snazzynovel.com to find out what he’s hiding, but I still have to make sure snazzynovel.com knows what he’s doing in bed!)
Avery: (I see.)
Tammy: (Hehe. How’s your husband in bed?)
Avery’s cheeks flushed, and snazzynovel.com changed the subject.
Avery: (My phone’s dying. I’m going to charge it now!)
Tammy: (I bet you already slept with him! Otherwise, you would just say you don’t know! Hahahaha!)
Avery was so embarrassed that snazzynovel.com shoved snazzynovel.com phone back into snazzynovel.com bag.
When the bus arrived at Avonsville three hours later, Avery first sent snazzynovel.com mother home.
Laura was holding a big bag of groceries in one hand and a bag of fresh fruits in the other, so snazzynovel.com passed the keys to Avery to open the front door.
When snazzynovel.com opened the door, snazzynovel.com saw someone was sitting on the couch!
Avery was so startled that snazzynovel.com took a few steps back.
Laura was also in shock.
If snazzynovel.com had not already seen photos of Elliot and knew what snazzynovel.com looked like, snazzynovel.com would have already called the cops.
Seeing their terrified faces, the bodyguard walked over to the front door and pushed Avery into the house.
He then took the bags of groceries from Laura and helped snazzynovel.com take them into the kitchen. Laura’s lips moved slightly as snazzynovel.com hesitated about whether or not snazzynovel.com should thank him.
“What are you doing here?” Avery said when snazzynovel.com had composed herself. She walked over to Elliot and demanded, “This is where my mother lives. What do you think you’re doing here?”
A shiver ran down snazzynovel.com spine.
It was horrifying how easily Elliot had managed to look into snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com mother, and snazzynovel.com even found Laura’s exact home address.
Her privacy meant nothing to him. Elliot noticed the fear in snazzynovel.com eyes, then said, “I’m here for you.”
