Chapter 452 Avery stared at Elliot’s handsome, yet expressionless face, and was instantly rendered speechless in rage. She would have argued with him before, but her body had weakened to the point that she no longer wanted to argue or fight with him.
If Elliot shamelessly insisted on staying inside her room, there was nothing she could do. After all, he had let go of his pride entirely.
Elliot was confused that his words had not provoked Avery to the point he thought they would.
“Am I not straight-forward enough, or has she already spoken to Eric about this?’ He25 thought
“Avery Tate, I won’t let you go no matter who you end up with in the future. You are not marrying someone else as long as I’m still breathing,” he threatened her once again.
Avery felt nothing at his threats. She had not thought of marrying again, so his threats meant nothing togс her.
“Do you want to be the ‘mistress’ that badly?” She stared directly into his eyes and mocked.
Embarrassment flashed by Elliot’s eyes briefly at her23 words.
“If I’m in a relationship with Eric and you refuse to leave me alone, then you are the other man. A lover.” Taking advantage of Elliot’s silence, Avery added.
As expected of someone as capable as Elliot, he readjusted himself swiftly and drawled , “so what if I’m a lover? I don’t2a mind.”
‘See? He really is shameless,’ she thought.
Avery shoved him aside and went to sit down by the bed, before taking out her skincare35 products.
She had stopped using skincare products ever since she found out that she was pregnant. All the products she had been using before smelt horrible to her and the ingredients were not suitable for pregnant women as well.
After a while, her skin started to become flaky from the dryness, so Tammy bought her a set of skincare products that carried no scent and were suitable for pregnant women.
Avery felt good after using them.
Elliot stared at her while she was putting skincare products on and was becoming increasingly certain that she was on a diet and taking care of her skin for a man.
She used to be more casual and rarely used skincare after shower back then.
Sensing his eyes on her, Avery gazed up to meet his eyes.
“What are you staring at me for?” She placed the cover back onto the skincare once she was done. “Is there anything else you need? You can’t be thinking of sleeping in my room, can you?
Her words seemed to have reminded him that he was, indeed, slightly light-headed after drinking the bottle of wine earlier.
He strode towards her and sat down. It was apparent what he meant and so he looked at her in a challenging manner. “I can’t?”
“Do you think three adults would be able to all fit on this bed?” She said.
Elliot couldn’t quite understand Avery, but glanced at the bed. It was spacious, but to be shared between three adults…
He scowled defensively. “Who are you about to sleep with tonight?”
“Tammy, of course! She’s sleeping with me tonight.” Worried that Elliot might not believe her, Avery pointed at the red purse resting on the dressing table. “That’s her purse.”
Elliot stood up from the bed abruptly as though he had been shocked by electricity.
Avery desperately wanted to laugh, but couldn’t do so. She might be able to run from Elliot this night, but what about the future?
She had thought that he would stop seeing her after he had his heart broken from the incident before, but to her surprise, he refused to give up. She had never seen a man as stubborn and obsessive as him. Elliot sobered up and turned to leave after standing up from the bed.
