Chapter 809 Since she was the one that invited Elliot over when he arrived, he would most likely stay with them. It was easier for him to spend time with the children that way too.
Avery carried Robert to the hall. Mrs. Cooper immediately went forward to take Robert from Avery.
“Mommy, who called you just now?” Layla has finished her meal. She got down from her chair
and went up to Avery.
“Your father,” Avery said. She held Layla’s hand and headed to the dining hall. “He has decided to come to spend the New Year with us.”
In the dining hall, everyone heard what Avery said.
“Avery, are you saying Elliot is coming?” Mike asked loudly.
“Hmm. He is going to board the plane soon.”
“Oh, then what about Chad? Is Chad with him?” Mike was not concerned for Elliot. He only cared about Chad.
Avery said, “I didn’t ask him about this. Why don’t you call Chad and ask?”
Mike replied, “Forget about it. I doubt he will come. He said that he is spending time with his parents during the holidays.”
“Hmm. Try and understand! He has been working all year long. He only has this time to spend with his parents,” Avery comforted Mike.
Mike nodded and walked over to her. He hinted with his eyes to Avery, pointing at Tammy.” She started drinking again. No matter how I try to talk to her, it’s pointless. Why don’t you call Jun! She’s missing him so much the only thing left she didn’t do is to tattoo his name on her face.”
Avery looked at Tammy. Tammy did not cry or make a fuss, but she drank glass after glass. Things could not go on that way.
Avery turned around with her back facing Tammy. She found Jun’s contact and dialed him.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service.” The cold automated voice rang out.
Avery thought that she had misheard.
How was Jun’s phone number not in service? The phone number was tied to a person’s name. It was also connected to assorted cards and accounts. Even if one lost their phone, they would immediately get the number back. It was not that easy to change numbers.
Avery dialed Jun once again. The automated response rang again.
Jun has changed numbers! Only by changing numbers would his number be not in service!
Mike noticed Avery’s expressions. He had a bad feeling. “What happened?”
“Jun changed his numbers.” Avery pursed her lips. She did not know how to tell Tammy this.
Jun was determined to cut ties with his past. If Tammy did not say those words to him a few days ago, he would not have done so.
Avery did not want to see this happen.
No matter how harsh Tammy’s words were, they were only spoken out of spite. She did not want Jun to suffer on her behalf, which was why she was forced to be the bad character.
How could Jun take it personally? However, what else could Jun do other than take it personally?
They were both at a stalemate.
Just like how back then when Avery was pregnant with Elliot’s children, but Elliot did not want children, so they broke up.
“What are you two sneakily chatting about?” Tammy has finished the wine in her glass. She walked over to them, holding onto the edge of the table for support.
Avery hinted at Mike with her eyes, asking him not to say a word.
Mike understood GNKNDQ=b nodded.
“Who changed their phone number?” Tammy walked to the middle of them. She placed her arms around their shoulders and asked them.
Mike let out a muffled snort. He realized that they could not hide it from her, so he came clean, “Your ex-husband.”
Tammy’s hands retracted from their shoulders as if she had been pricked by thorns.
“Tammy, let me take you to your room to rest!” Avery helped Tammy toward the guest room.
Just when they were almost by the guest room, Tammy stopped in her tracks. Her eyes were reddened. “Didn’t you say that Elliot’s coming? I don’t want to see him! I think I’ll go!”
She insisted on leaving, Avery could only get the bodyguard to send her home.
After Tammy left, Mike comforted Avery. “Everyone has their own adversaries that they need to pass on their own. She will come out of this. You should think of what you’re going to do when Elliot comes!”
