Elliot could see. Avery was indeed doing well.
After Avery got in the car, she took a flask out from her back, twisted the cap open, and drank some
warm water.
Mike waited for her to finish drinking before moving the25 car.
“What are we having for lunch?” He asked.
Avery said, “It’s not lunch yet, I’m not96 hungry.”
Mike replied, “We could still decide beforehand!”
Avery pondered for a few seconds before saying, “Next time, I’ll deal with lunch on my2d own.
Mike had to have meat for every meal. Avery was not interested in meat at all at that moment. Before her
pregnancy, she had a good appetite, so if Mike saw her not eating meat, he would definitely be
suspicious.
“Are you trying to lose weight?” Mike asked suspiciously, “Avery, stop doing that to yourself! You’re not
becoming a celebrity. You don’t have to compare yourself to 49 them!”
Avery clutched her forehead. She knew Mike was meticulous, he would surely simply speculate.
“I’m not going on a diet. I just don’t want to have lunch with35 you.”
“Why? If you don’t have lunch with me, who are you having lunch with?”
Avery said, “I think we should still keep some distance. I heard what Chad said last night. You care so
much about Chad and Elliot’s relationship, what if Chad also cares about your relationship with me?”
Mike was speechless.
Avery continued, “We’ll eat on our own in the future. We can still head back home together after work.”
Mike said, “Oh…okay!”
At that moment, Mike’s phone rang. He fished his phone out and had a look at who was calling. He
slowed the car down and put on his Bluetooth earpiece.
“Are you with Avery right now?” On the other end of the line, Chad’s voice came through.
Mike glanced at Avery. “N-N…. What’s going on?”
He only lied because he wanted to know what Chad was about to say.
Chad said, “Do you know where Avery’s cream sweater she wore today came from? She’s terrible! She
made the sweater for Mr. Foster previously…”
Mike looked at the cream sweater on Avery and said calmly, “Oh. If she gave your boss the sweater, why
is it in her hands?”
Chad exhaled. “Perhaps he returned it to her after they broke up!”
“Since he has returned it to Avery, Avery will wear it whenever she wants to! What the hell does it have to
do with your boss!” Mike was gradually getting infuriated. He did not mince his words.
Chad did not expect that Mike would be so fierce.
“My point is, Avery is doing that only to provoke Mr. Foster! She must have agreed to do so with Eric!
How dare they wear white together. What? Are they trying to announce their relationship? Mr. Foster saw
the live stream this morning! He was pissed off!”
“Since he has already seen the live stream, he should have already heard Eric’s explanation, right? What
is he upset about? Does he expect Avery to be single for the rest of her life to please him?”
Mike’s question made Chad ponder silently. Mike made sense. Why was his boss so angry then? They
have long split up and even tried to kill each other. Logically speaking, there should not be any feelings
for each other left!
Avery was sitting in the front passenger seat. She could basically guess what Chad said.
The reason she wore the cream sweater that day was because Eric requested that she wore the
necklace the night before.
The necklace was black, so wearing cream would match it more. Avery did not have a cream jacket, so
she chose to wear the cream sweater.
She never thought that Eric would wear a matching color sweater that day. She was quite embarrassed
that it caused a misunderstanding.
