Elliot and Avery

Chapter 67

Chapter 67

“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 her legs, urging Avery to lie down.

Avery shook her head and said, “I’m not tired anymore. I’ll just look through my phone.”

When she turned on her phone, she noticed the missed call from Mrs. Cooper.

She thought of calling back, but the crowded bus was noisy. After some consideration, she decided to

talk to her when she got home.

Suddenly, the day’s headline popped up on one of the news apps on her 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 him being taken to the hospital.

The familiar face next to him belonged to none other than Cassandra.

Avery had not seen her sister in a long time, but she noticed that she was dressed even more

promiscuously than before.

If Cole had not gotten in trouble with the loan sharks, she probably would have spent the night with him

at some fancy hotel!

Avery closed the news app and checked her 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 he 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 him to find out what he’s

hiding, but I still have to make sure he knows what he’s doing in bed!

Avery: [I see.) This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Tammy: [Hehe. How’s your husband in bed?]

Avery’s cheeks flushed, and she 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 she shoved her phone back into her bag.

When the bus arrived at Avonsville three hours later, Avery first sent her mother home.

Laura was holding a big bag of groceries in one hand and a bag of fresh fruits in the other, so she

passed the keys to Avery to open the front door.

When she opened the door, she saw someone was sitting on the couch!

Avery was so startled that she took a few steps back.

Laura was also in shock.

If she had not already seen photos of Elliot and knew what he looked like, she 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 her take them into the kitchen. Laura’s lips

moved slightly as she hesitated about whether or not she should thank him.

“What are you doing here?” Avery said when she 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 her spine.

It was horrifying how easily Elliot had managed to look into her and her mother, and he even found

Laura’s exact home address.

Her privacy meant nothing to him. Elliot noticed the fear in her eyes, then said, “I’m here for you.”
