Chapter 523
When His Eyes Opened
Avery: [Maybe he figured I need to eat more because Iâm eating for two now.]
Tammy: [Hahaha! What did he buy for you? Send me photos!]
Avery took a photo of that nightâs haul and sent it to Tammy.
Tammy looked at the photo, then immediately called Avery.
âWhy did he buy jewelry again? Haha! Do men like giving the women they love jewelry?â she laughed.
Avery held her head in her hand and said, âHe had a motive.â
Tammy froze, then asked, âWhat motive?â
âItâs because of an event next Monday.â
Avery truly experienced how petty a man could be that night.
She had declined the clothes and jewelry, but Elliot insisted on buying them for her.
When she asked for his reason, he gladly gave it.
Back when Avery attended the meet-and-greet at the hotel with Eric Santos, they had both worn cream
sweaters and were mistaken as lovers. The necklace she wore that Eric gave her also caused quite a bit
of controversy.
All of this was in the past, but Elliot never got over it.
During their shopping spree, he picked out a dress for Avery and got a matching outfit for himself.
He also bought her a beautiful gemstone necklace.
The color of the gemstone was exactly the same as the cufflinks he got for himself!
Not only did he want to wear a matching outfit with her, he also wanted their accessories to match.
All of this was because there was going to be a contract-signing event on Monday between Tate
Industries, Sterling Group and the Border Security Force.
Tammy cackled upon hearing Averyâs story.
âI never knew he was this passionate! Why didnât you refuse the matching outfits? If you did, Iâm sure he
would end up doing something even more shocking!â
âHis donation to the Border Security Force this time is for the good of the country and its citizens. I donât
want to let such a small matter affect that contract.â
âHahahaha! This is hilarious! I donât know how your dating life somehow involved the countryâs affairsâ¦
The government should give you two a âbest coupleâ awardâ¦â
Avery blushed slightly, then changed the subject and said, âI accidentally saw a photo of Cole Foster and
Zoe Sanford together today. Iâm guessing Cole mistakenly posted it online. He deleted it right away.â
Tammy smelled something fishy going on and said, âDidnât Zoe move into the old Foster mansion after
she got pregnant? I bet they already had something going on back then!â
âI think thereâs a possibility they got together much earlier on, too. They were really close in the photo I
saw today.â Avery frowned and wondered, âIsnât Zoe madly in love with Elliot? Why would she do this?â
Tammy took a sip of water, then mused, âMaybe it was because Elliot was too cold to her! I heard that
they only slept together once the entire time they were together. It was on the night of your birthday
party. The night Elliot got really drunkâ¦â
Avery froze.
She remembered every detail of what happened that night.
Elliot had pinned her down on the bed and tormented her for a long time.
Zoe had watched everything from outside the room that night.
It was the first time in her life that Avery felt like a homewrecker being caught in the act!
She had never revealed the events of that night to anybody, because Zoe was Elliotâs official girlfriend at
the time, and she was nothing but the third party who ruined their relationship!
âAre you sure?â Avery asked as she heard the feigned vagueness in her voice, but felt extremely
nervous.
âI heard about it when my husband was drinking with Ben and the other⦠Elliot has a personal
bodyguard who knows exactly where he sleeps every night. Benâs in charge of that bodyguardâs salary,
so Ben knows everything about Elliotâs private life.â
Tears rolled down Averyâs face when she heard Tammyâs answer.
Elliot might have been too drunk to remember anything about that night, but she remembered it very
clearly!
He could not possibly have had any energy left inside of him to touch Zoe that night! It was even more
impossible that she got pregnant with his child!
