It read, ‘Avery, give me one last chance!’ She took a deep breath and put the phone down. One last
chance! These three words made her heartstrings tense. She was reminded of Tammy’s tears.
When Tammy said she wanted a divorce back then, she was so determined ! Leaving Arydelle after the
separation – it was just as decisive. But Jun’s remarriage had broken her.
Who didn’t want to be a cool person?
If there was something in this world that could drive people crazy, it would be love. Elliot came out of
the Starry River Villa, turned on his mobile phone, and swiped through his messaging app.
Avery hadn’t replied.
He got an intuition that Avery must have seen his message. Though she had not responded, he wasn’t
anxious.
Nothing would be a threat to him in the future. He was confident in patiently moving his chess pieces.
He was certain that he was able to wait. The next day, Tammy came to the Starry River Villa. She was
carrying bags of snacks and gifts. Mrs. Cooper said with a smile, “This feels good. This feels like the
heydays.”
Avery saw that the expression on Tammy’s face was rigid. She said, “Tammy, come and see Robert!
He scratched his face twice last night. Now he looks like a kitten.”
Tammy followed Avery to the crib. When she saw Robert, she burst into laughter.
“My little darling! Why do you have one mark on each side of your face? It’s so symmetrical! You’ve
truly become a cute little kitten.ed Haha!”
“His nails certainly weren’t that long.” Avery was puzzled.
“Maybe he thinks that his little face was a little chubby and it was fun to pull his cheeks! Haha! “
Tammy poked Robert’s cheek with her fingers.
Robert stared at Tammy with his big eyes. This melted Tammy’s heart.
“Avery, don’t you think your son looks exactly like Elliot? Are you sure you don’t think of Elliot when you
look at him every day?” Tammy sat down on the couch beside the crib. Avery said, “Indeed, that is
quite a bother.”
“This baby is so cute! One look at Robert and my maternal love is all flooding back! If I were you, I’m
afraid I won’t even want to go to work.”
Avery was afraid that she would think about her infertility if she continued to talk. So she changed the
subject.
“Tammy, let’s go shopping! I’m going to work tomorrow and I want to buy some new clothes. By the
way, I’ll get some for my kids too.”
“Cool! It just so happens that I have to buy some new dresses as well. When I attend Jun’s wedding, I’ll
make sure that I’m all dressed up.” After Tammy got up, she teased Robert again, “Little baby, Auntie
Tammy will come back later to play with you!”
When she got to the door, Tammy suddenly thought of Layla. “Aren’t Layla and Hayden supposed to be
at home this Sunday?”.
Avery answered, “Eric took both of them out.”
“It’s so nice of Eric to help you take care of your kids when he has the time.” Tammy was envious.
“If only I were one of your kids.”
“Your dad and mom will be so sad if they hear this.” Avery said, “Although I don’t see them often, I can
feel that they love you very much. Don’t be so greedy!”
“I know, I know. Other than the downside in my relationship, I am pretty grateful in other aspects of my
life.”
“The future still has a long way to go! The man who will be by your side in the future – he’ll love you
more than Jun. That’s for sure.”
“You have such a sweet tongue.” Tammy took her arm, “Let me be your chauffeur!”
“You cool with high heels?”
“No trouble at all. Even if they were 4 inches tall.” The two went shopping in the downtown business
district.
After filling the trunk with the spoils, they went restaurant hunting. Tammy started the engine and
looked for restaurants everywhere.
