Avery spoke first “Tomorrow is a weekend. Are you free?”
“In the morning or afternoon?” Elliot asked.
His voice sounded low and hoarse, yet it was still filled with the same magnetism and was just as attractive as it had been four years ago.
“In the morning!” Avery answered.
Her judgment was impaired by the alcohol. She felt particularly brave, and so, snazzynovel.com spoke without thinking things through.
“Remember to bring along your ID and marriage certificate. If our meeting goes well, we could sign the divorce papers tomorrow morning itself!”
Elliot had not expected Avery to be this aggressive.
It was completely different from what Chad described.
“You’ll regret this, Avery,” Elliot said as his Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat, and his grip around his phone tightened.
“I won’t f*cking regret it!”
Elliot’s words had struck a chord in Avery.
“If the divorce goes through tomorrow, I’m getting some fireworks and setting them off for the next twenty-four hours!” Avery said, then burst into laughter.
As Elliot listened to snazzynovel.com charming laugh, snazzynovel.com realized that something was off.
“Did you drink, Avery?” snazzynovel.com asked.
She had never even used to touch a drop of alcohol!
Not only was snazzynovel.com drinking now, but snazzynovel.com was drunk.
A raging fury ignited in Elliot.
“What can you do about it?! I’ll drink when I want to. No one can control me!” Avery yelled arrogantly.
“We’re getting a divorce tomorrow!” Elliot hissed through gritted teeth.
It was true that nobody could control Avery.
As the head of Alpha Technologies, snazzynovel.com was worth billions.
They may be husband and wife, but that was purely in name.
No, their relationship no longer existed even in name!
Everyone around them knew that they had broken up.
Since that was the case, then it was time to put a full stop to this marriage!
Avery was clapping snazzynovel.com hands.
Elliot was livid and hung up on her.
If snazzynovel.com stayed on the phone, his blood pressure would reach a breaking point.
When snazzynovel.com phone screen turned dark, Avery let out a dry laugh, then fell back heavily on the bed.
“I’m finally free! We’re finally getting a divorce!”
Avery chuckled, staring at the ceiling as hot tears rolled down from the corners of snazzynovel.com eyes.
“Elliot… I do feel regret… I regret meeting you. I regret marrying you. I regret falling for you…
The next day, as sunlight poured in through the windows, Avery rubbed snazzynovel.com tired eyes as snazzynovel.com lay in bed.
Her head was pounding from all the alcohol snazzynovel.com had consumed the night before.
She reached out to grab snazzynovel.com phone, then saw a text message from Elliot.
He had sent snazzynovel.com the meeting location at midnight.
Avery put snazzynovel.com phone down and massaged snazzynovel.com aching temples.
Once the pain began to subside, snazzynovel.com got out of bed.
Avery arrived at the cafe that Elliot reserved at ten in the morning.
She wore a black dress with snazzynovel.com hair pulled back. She had even dabbed on some light makeup.
However, snazzynovel.com exquisite makeup did not manage to cover snazzynovel.com fatigued and bloodshot eyes.
She ordered a cup of black coffee.
Half an hour later, snazzynovel.com was finished with it.
Avery glanced at the time, then ordered another cup.
By eleven in the morning, snazzynovel.com had already finished snazzynovel.com second cup of coffee. She did not order a third.
Avery pulled out snazzynovel.com phone and dialed Elliot’s number.
They had agreed to meet at ten, but why was snazzynovel.com nowhere to be seen? Did snazzynovel.com change his mind about the divorce, or did something happen?
