Chapter 890
When His Eyes Opened
Her lashes trembled as she was surprised by how obedient Elliot was.
He was never a man who would listen to her under all circumstances back when they were deeply in
love with one another.
Elliot was a man of principle and he would never let her pay or accept her money for whatever they had
spent outside, so she didnât think that he would accept her money despite his principle.
But he did, which meant that he was willing to forego his principles for her sake.
If he continued to be this obedient, it would be extremely hard for her to not fall for him.
"Elliot, stop looking at your phone already! Avery isnât replying, is she?"
Ben tapped Elliot on the shoulder and passed him a glass of wine inside the VIP room.
"She did." Elliot set his phone down.
"Did she really? Call her out, then.If you manage to get her here, I will believe that sheâs replied."
Ben stared at Elliotâs phone.
"She has work tomorrow."
"Donât we all?"
Ben exposed his lie boldly and said, "If she really did reply, would you still be sitting here, drinking with
us? You would have run off to go find her.Hahaha!"
The others noticed the cold expression on Elliotâs face and kept quiet.
Ben instantly stopped laughing.
Elliot looked at Ben coldly and said in a sarcastic tone.
"You have a big mouth.Go on."
Ben raised his glass and clinked it with Elliotâs.
"Donât get upset, Elliot.Donât get disheartened even if Avery doesnât want you right now.Once sheâs
dated other men, she will surely realize that thereâs no other man like you.She will come back to you
then."
Elliot couldnât tell if Ben was consoling or teasing him.
"Ben, Elliot has suffered enough so stop teasing him."
Jun changed the topic and said, "Why donât we play a more stimulating game?"
Everyone else brightened up.
Elliot set his glass down and stood up abruptly.
"You guys go on.Iâm leaving."
"Donât be a buzz-kill, Elliot! Donât you know what kind of a person Jun is? Heâs been good since he
married Tammy, so what exactly do you think he would do? Hahaha!"
Ben pulled Elliot back Jun flushed.
"Letâs bet on whether Tammy will come to stop my wedding." Elliot sat back down at Junâs words.
"Look at how scared you made Elliot, Jun⦠Donât be so vague when you speak the next time around.I
bet that she wonât!"
Ben said, "Letâs bet money on this, or itâs no fun!"
"Fine! I bet that she will! I still have fifteen thousand dollars in my account and Iâll place it all on the bet!"
"Just like Ben, I bet that Tammy will not interrupt the wedding,"
Chad said, "Iâll place a monthâs worth of my salary on the bet!"
Everyone betted that Tammy would not interrupt the wedding.
Jun felt slightly defeated.
"You all lack confidence in Tammy.Elliot, what about you? What are you betting on?"
"Same as the others.I bet that she wonât."
Junâs confidence began to waver.
"Why? Elliot, do you not support me and Tammy?"
"I saw her this afternoon when she was out eating with Avery.She seems to be doing well."
"At least she is doing better than Avery."
Jun fell into despair and heartache.
Not only had he overestimated Tammy, but he had also lost the remaining fifteen thousand dollars in
his bank account.
The next day, Avery saw her children off and drove to the company.
She arrived at Tate Industries at nine in the morning and her employees greeted her.
"Morning, President Tate! You are recovering well, one simply wouldnât be able to tell that youâve
recently given birth!"
"Yeah, you are looking great, President Tate! Looks like our company is going to do great this year!"
