“That woman on the left looks a lot like my best friend!” Tammy said as she stared at the back of Avery’s head.
“What kind of best friend would I be otherwise? Of course, I know what her back looks like!”
The more Tammy looked at the woman, the more she thought she looked like Avery.
She pulled out her phone and sneakily took a photo.
“You can’t take pictures in the concert hall!” sigħed the friend. “You might as well go to the first row and check it out!”
“Forget it, the recital’s about to start anyway,” Tammy said as she sent the photo to Avery.
Avery felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
She pulled it out and saw Tammy’s text message.
Tammy: (Avery, doesn’t this woman look a lot like you?]
Avery’s heart almost burst out of her chest, and she unconsciously sank further into her seat.
Seeing her odd reaction, Elliot turned his head and looked behind him.
“D*mn, he’s hot!” Tammy exclaimed when she saw Elliot’s handsome face. “Holy sh*t! Isn’t that Elliot Foster?!” cried her friend.
“That’s Elliot Foster?”
“Yeah! Did you forget that I’m a business major? Of course, I’d know him. That’s definitely Elliot Foster!” Tammy let out a sigh and said, “If that’s the case, then that woman next to him can’t be my Avery. Why would she be sitting next to him?”
She then sent another text to Avery.
Tammy: (Sigh, it can’t be you, because the man next to her is Elliot Foster! Do you know who he is? He’s super-rich and super hot! I couldn’t breathe when he turned to look at us just now!) When Avery saw Tammy’s message, she could not help but sneak a peek at Elliot.
Super hot?
Why did she not see it?
Tammy sent another text moments later.
Tammy: (My friend’s planning on getting a photo with him later. Do you think I should ask for one, too? | wonder if he’ll do it.]
Avery’s phone felt like fire in her hands.
“Elliot…” she called out to him under her breath, “I’m suddenly really hungry… Let’s go get something to eat!
She would get caught red-handed if she did not leave now.
The mere thought of it terrified her.
Before Elliot could answer, she picked up her coat with one hand and grabbed onto his arm with the other. She hunched as she pulled him out of the hall.
Avery brought their time at the recital to an abrupt end in less than ten minutes.
This was the first time Elliot Foster had taken a woman to a recital.
He had never cared for such things, but he overcame his emotional barriers just to make her happy.
With his current status, Elliot was bound to be the center of attention everywhere he went.
Not only did Avery not appreciate this opportunity to spend some alone time with him, but she was mortified at the idea that someone might see them together.
Her behavior was a huge slap on his proud face
Once they were out of the concert hall, Elliot shook off her hand and stormed off without turning back.
Avery was hit by a sudden realization as she watched his tall figure walk away from her.
Was asking her to the recital his way of taking her out on a date?
Even so…. were not both parties supposed to agree to the date? Had he wanted to surprise her?
The more Avery thought about it, the more erratic her breathing became.
Was this proof that Elliot was in love with her?
Otherwise, why would he go and do something that he considered a waste of time?
She felt a sudden chill run down her spine.
Her hand instinctively drifted to her lower abdomen.
She was now more than three months pregnant. She had been watching her diet, so her baby bump was not showing at all.
By the time she reached the fifth and sixth months, she could still hide her bump under loose clothing.
What would happen when she was near the end of her term?
No matter how skinny a pregnant mother was, she would not be able to hide her baby bump once that time came.
If she was still by Elliot’s side by then, she would definitely get caught.
Avery wandered aimlessly around the streets.
She was holding her jacket in her arms, and she was wearing nothing but a light t-shirt, but she did not feel the cold breeze.
Her feelings for Elliot confused her.
It was exactly like the answer she gave him the night before.
She did not have the courage to love him. She despised his previous domineering and arrogant behavior.
She could not say that she did not love him either, because somewhere deep down inside her heart, she did in fact have feelings for him!
She was just too embarrassed and too cowardly to admit it.
The babies she was carrying were standing between the two of them.
If she wanted to keep the children, then she had to leave him.
At the end of the day, she was not a cold-hearted machine. Her body and actions would not necessarily follow every instruction that came from her rational mind.
When exactly did she begin to fall in love with Elliot? She could not answer that question.
She had hated him to death when he forced her to get an abortion.
Avery arrived home that evening and placed a gift box on the coffee table in the living room.
“Mrs. Cooper, this is for Elliot. Please let him know when he gets back later,” Avery informed.
Mrs. Cooper beamed as she said, “Now, that’s the way! Your life here would be much easier if he’s happy with you. If for nobody else but yourself, you should care more about his mood.”
Mrs. Cooper’s words made sense, but Avery said indifferently, “I’m a little hungry.”
“Dinner’s ready. How about you take a bite now, then join Master Elliot again when he gets home?” suggested Mrs. Cooper.
Avery immediately shook her head and said, “He’s mad at me. It’s better for the both of us if we don’t have dinner together.”
Mrs. Cooper was at a loss for words.
The author seems to have very little to no knowledge about pregnancy. Pregnant with twins at 3 months and not showing because of diet? Are you kidding me? Moreover, with twins she would have had really bad sickness, but this woman doesn’t have any.. Weird
