Chapter 426 Avery was still worried for the child in her womb. Before she could make sure that the child was healthy or not, she wanted to rectify the situation. She did not care whether it was too late to do so or not, at least she would feel better.
Avery put on a jacket and left with an umbrella.
Coming out of the neighborhood, about three minutes’ walk away, there was a pharmacy.—.
She bought a bottle of folic acid and put it in her pocket. She was walking in the rain with the umbrella25 opened.
Although the rain was heavy, she was not cold. It was spring. Spring was the time when all beings came to life. It was a season of hope. She hoped that the child in her womb was as healthy as Layla and Hayden. As long as the child was healthy, she would give birth to it.
As for Elliot’s thoughts, it was no longer that96 important.
While being under the rain that evening helped her figure out a lot.
Elliot’s life and hers were two parallel lines. All she needed to do was to live her own life. As long as she did it with a cleared conscience.
When she returned home, she kept the umbrella and placed it outside the door. Before she entered, she heard noises coming from the living area.
“You’re strangling me!” Chad’s angry voice came49 through.
Mike said, “Shut your mouth! Don’t wake Avery up!”
Chad was breathing heavily. “Why did you bring me here? Send me home35 now!”
Mike sat on the sofa and scratched his head. “I drank some alcohol, how could I send you home? Why don’t you just stay here for the night!”
“You’re asking me to sleep on the couch?!”
“What’s wrong with sleeping on the couch! It’s already a very good option for you! Don’t make a fuss! Does that mean you want to sleep in my room?”
“Are you nuts? What if Avery and the two children find out about me? How embarrassing would it be for me?” Chad struggled to get up from the sofa and headed to Mike’s room.
Mike followed behind. “Wait up! Chad… why don’t you resign? Come to our office. Elliot that jerk….”
“F*ck you! My boss is not a jerk. I know that you want to talk about Shea again. I can promise you. He does not have any relationship with Shea other than siblings! As for Zoe, it’s even more absurd! Mr. Foster has never liked her before! Even if they accidentally slept together,
that was all Zoe’s doing! Mr. Foster is very picky! Whether it was in his life or relationship wise, he always had high standards!”
Chad forgot that Mike asked him to be softer.
Even if Avery was in her room upstairs, she would be able to hear his yells.
“Our Avery has even higher standards!” Mike tried to argue with him. “Ever since I knew her, she has never had a single relationship! No matter how good-looking or amazing the guys pursuing her are, she remained calm! Is your boss as good as Avery?”
Chad said, “But Avery is vicious! She almost killed Mr. Foster!”
Mike said, “You’re the vicious one! Your boss was seeking death himself! A weak person like Avery would find it tough to even kill a chicken. How could she kill your boss? With a brain like yours, how did you manage to become the president’s assistant?”
Chad had one hand on the door handle. He adjusted his glasses with the other hand. He looked lost.
Mike’s words seemed to make sense.
Looking at him in a daze, Mike pushed him into the room and then closed the room door.
Avery could no longer hear what they were talking about after that. She entered the house and closed the door.
Chad’s words kept repeating in her mind. Whether he was telling the truth or not, she had been affected by him.
Avery quickly headed upstairs and returned to her room. After taking off her jacket, she took a glass of water and took some folic acid.
She wondered what on earth did she deserve to get pregnant with three of Elliot’s children!
Three!
S
Although the last two came out at the same time, it was still equally challenging bringing them out, not as easy as bringing one child up.
That was not the most important thing. The most important thing was because of these three children, she would never be able to break it off cleanly with him for the rest of her life!
Avery lay in bed and switched off the lights. She flipped around in bed for a long time. The more she flipped, the less sleepy she felt.
She picked up her phone and looked at the time. Only half an hour has passed. She sighed in the dark and closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep.
