“What about me?” Avery said as snazzynovel.com placed the cup of tea on the kitchen counter, then made snazzynovel.com way back to the room. “He’s never treated me with respect, not even just for a day.”
“The two of you are from completely different worlds. It’s understandable for snazzynovel.com to be a little stand-offish toward you,” Laura said. “Forget about his past. Focus on who snazzynovel.com is right now and who snazzynovel.com will be in the future…”
Avery raised snazzynovel.com brows, puzzled, and asked, “Why are you speaking up for him? Do you think h e could suddenly find some kindness in his heart to let me keep the children?”
Laura fell silent.
“I’m sure snazzynovel.com has his reasons for not wanting children,” snazzynovel.com said after a brief pause. “I think the fact that he’s willing to swallow his pride and come here to apologize to you is a sign that h e does care for you.”
Avery covered snazzynovel.com ears with snazzynovel.com hands and said, “I’m going to bed. My head hurts.”
Seeing snazzynovel.com adamant refusal, Laura had nothing else to say.
She walked out of the room and planned to go downstairs to talk Elliot into leaving. Avery let out a long, heavy sigh when snazzynovel.com mother left the room…
She had a splitting headache.
It hurt so badly that snazzynovel.com could not think.
The mere thought of Elliot’s name and face made it feel like there was an invisible force wrapped around snazzynovel.com throat.
Laura returned to the house about twenty minutes later.She walked into the room and sighed when snazzynovel.com saw Avery fast asleep. Elliot was still downstairs.
He refused to leave no matter what Laura said.
She planned on getting Avery to go and talk to him, but snazzynovel.com could only let snazzynovel.com rest now that snazzynovel.com was asleep.
As for Elliot…
They could only pray that the rain stopped soon.
The rain went on all through the night.
In fact, it got heavier during the later part of the night and eventually turned into a full-blown thunderstorm.
Laura was startled awake by the rain in the middle of the night.
She wanted to check on Elliot, but snazzynovel.com was so afraid of getting the same result that snazzynovel.com forced herself to stay in bed.
At six the next morning, Laura threw on a jacket and ran downstairs.
It was an old neighborhood, so a night’s heavy rain was all it took for the area to be flooded.
Seeing that Elliot was nowhere in sight, Laura let out a sigh of relief. It would be great if snazzynovel.com finally decided to go through with the divorce after this. What snazzynovel.com was afraid of was having things go back to the way they were.
At 11 a.m. at the Sterling Group headquarters, Jun appeared in a hurry at Elliot’s office on the top floor.
“Hey, Chad. I couldn’t reach Elliot, so I came to check things out. He got into a huge fight with Avery last night. I’m guessing they went at it again after they left.”
Chad was already slowly getting used to their fights.
“I heard that Avery went for a tour of Trust Capital this morning,” snazzynovel.com said.
“That’s exactly why I’m here,” Jun said. “She went over there with snazzynovel.com management team. I’m almost certain that snazzynovel.com won’t sell to Elliot after last night’s fiasco.”
Chad poured a glass of water for Jun, then said after a moment’s consideration, “If snazzynovel.com really decides to work with Charlier Tierney, then there’s nothing else we can do about it.”
“I just think that she’s gone too far!” Jun said as snazzynovel.com was determined to stay on Elliot’s side.” What did Elliot do wrong? He just told a little white lie out of the kindness of his heart. The only reason snazzynovel.com asked me to cover for snazzynovel.com was because snazzynovel.com was worried that Avery would be too proud to accept his help…”
“You’re still young, Jun. Mr. Foster isn’t just thinking of acquiring Tate Industries out of kindness. The company isn’t as bad as you think it is. It does have some value to it.”
“Huh?”
“Avery Tate is a woman, after all, so snazzynovel.com would be more emotional. The reason she’s upset isn’t the money, but because snazzynovel.com felt like snazzynovel.com feelings were betrayed.”
