Chapter 950
Avery hit the nail on the head with that statement, because that was exactly what Elliot had been thinking.
In addition, he had also sworn himself to put on a good impression in front of all her close friends.
Although they had not yet fully reconciled, they were almost there. Other men-especially Eric— had better not hit on Avery again. He took his hand back and prepared to entertain the guests. Avery was still worried, so she said to him, “Don’t pull a long face today. Everyone here is a guest. You may politely refuse if you don’t want to toast or drink, but don’t make it too blunt. That applies to everything else. Like that boy earlier. He means no harm, so why do you have to make him unhappy?”
He committed all her instructions to memory.
“Got it. Just watch me.”
Avery saw him walking toward the guests, but she could not bear to take her eyes away from him.
It was not just because he changed, but because he had always been a source of fascination for her.
“Mommy, I want to eat cake! Come and help us cut the cake!” Layla ran over, took Avery’s hand, and pulled her to the children’s table.
Elliot’s watched his daughter drag Avery away and felt that his attention had followed along with them.
“Mr. Foster, Robert’s here too. He’s resting in the guest room,” Chad said, “You may check on him whenever you please.”
Elliot wanted to see Robert, of course, but he did not forget the task Avery had assigned to him.
As the father of the two little birthday kids, he needed to entertain the guests today.
“Do you think Avery has acknowledged me as the children’s father when she asked me to entertain the guests, today?” heed asked.
Chad had a startled look. “Even if Avery doesn’t acknowledge it, you’re still the children’s father! This is set in stone. It’s not something that needs her acknowledgment.” Elliot looked at him with disdain. “You have no idea how much her acknowledgment means toze me.”
Chad opened his mouth to say something but kept quiet in the end.
It made sense since the employees all privately regarded their boss as an affectionatef2 man.
Avery was his whole world, and her acknowledgment was more important to him than the acknowledgment in the eyes of the law.
“Do I need to toast with them?” Elliot asked. “I don’t know the guests very well and Avery didn’t tell me who’s who4e either.”
Avery did not tell her who those guests were, only that he should entertain them.
Chad helped him solve his issue. “You don’t need to toast with them. Just listen to their flattery and don’t put on an annoyed4e expression.” “Wouldn’t that offend them? They’re all Avery’s guests.”
“But you can’t hold your liquor, and if you drink too much, you won’t be able to entertain them anymore.” After a pause, he said, “If you listen to me, I can bet that they’ll go back singing praises of you to their98 friends.” Elliot followed Chad’s suggestion.
Chad was afraid that Elliot would be too tired to entertain guests all alone, so he joined along.
Mike was finally able to get some rest after entertaining them.
He sat down beside Avery and ate something.
“I wonder what’s going on in Eric’s mind at the moment.” Mike put a piece of cake into his mouth and looked at Eric.
Eric had been surrounded by his female fans ever since he entered the banquet hall that morning
Aside from Avery, every other woman in the banquet hall was by Eric’s side. Eric was a guest too, but it was clear that he did not see himself as such.
