Chapter 910 “Are you sure that’s what she said?” Elliotcb asked.
The bodyguard’s mind went blank and suddenly forgot the exact words Avery used.
“Um… In any case, I scolded her and she didn’t get angry,” he finally said with certainty.
“You scolded her?” Elliot scowled as he breathed heavily. “Who gave you the right to scold her?! What did you say?”
Feeling slightly scared and guilty, the bodyguard said with no regret, “I said she was ungrateful, which she is! You treat her so well and not only is she not grateful, she argues and fights with you every single day! I think she is even more of a drama queen than Tammy Lynch! I wouldn’t put up with her if I was you! I would just dump her and take her children from her, so that she regrets it so much that she cries herself to sleep every night!” Elliot gritted his teeth. He would have punched his bodyguard had he been standing right next to him.
The bodyguard noticed the heavy breathing on the other end of the line and was instantly alerted. “Mr. Foster, I wasn’t this harsh when I was talking to her! She really isn’t angry. Call her if you don’t believe me! I am trying to help! If you think that my idea is.”
“Doo! Doo! Doo!”
Elliot hung up and thought to himself, ‘Just how unfortunate do I seem? It’s bad enough that Ben and the others take pity on me, and now, even my bodyguard is fighting my battles for me!’
Elliot did not believe that Avery was not angry like his bodyguard had said, but he did not intend on calling her to explain anything. He had told her enough for the day and she must be having a hard time processing the things he said; the one thing she truly couldn’t accept was definitely not what his bodyguard had said.
By the time Avery returned home, it was already four in the afternoon. She went back into her room and changed into loose and warm clothes.
She hadn’t done much, but felt drained. She laid down on the bed as what Elliot said to her earlier echoed in her head.
All the fights they had so far were finally explained; she knew that she was supposed to feel relieved, but in truth, she simply felt troubled because they both paid heavy prices for the past.
She did not blame Elliot, because he was not wrong.
She tossed around in bed thoughtfully for a while, before finally drifting off to sleep.
In the evening, Eric sent Layla backed home. Eric was holding a few shopping bags in his hands and there was a beautiful bag in Layla’s hand as well.
“Are my mom and brother back yet?” Layla asked Mrs. Cooper in excitement. “Uncle Eric
bought me a lot of stuff today! He said that he is getting me early birthday gifts! He also bought something forie Hayden!”
“Your mom is sleeping in her room, and your brother isn’t back yet! The driver is heading over to pick him up so he should be home soon.” Mrs. Cooper patted Layla on the head and helped with the bags in Eric’s hands. “You didn’t have to, Eric.” “Why is Avery still sleeping?” Eric checked the time and noticed that it was six in the94 evening “She came back at four in the afternoon. She woke up far too early this morning, so I haven’t gone to wake her up,” Mrs. Cooper said, “Eric, stay for dinner if you are not busy!” 18″Sure!”
Eric sat down on the couch, while Layla raced towards the master bedroom, wondering if Tammy was upset about Jun’s wedding.
She tip-toed towards the bed and saw Avery’s phone resting next to thed3 pillow.
Layla’s eyes glammed as she stared at the phone, and after a few moments, she took her mother’s phone and headed out of the bedroom, only to run into Eric.
