Chapter 951
Eric probably felt that he had a responsibility to help Avery entertain the female guests, which is why he indulged their requests for photographs, autographs, and just general small talk.
He did not even have the time to take a sip of water.
“Why don’t you call him over to have a bite!” Avery said to Mike. “Don’t try to be funny. He won’t pay attention to me at all,” Mike sighed, “He’s too handsome, so it’s no surprise that Elliot feels threatened.”
“How do you know that Elliot feels threatened?” Avery failed to see how that was the case.
“Don’t you think Elliot dressed up like a peacock today?” Mike teased, “I don’t suppose he dressed up so handsomely for all these little kiddos?”,
Avery could not help but laugh. “Stay here and take care of the little kids. I’ll check on Robert.” “Bring him here if he’s awake!” Mike said.
“Yeah. He hasn’t been in a place with so many people yet! I wonder if he’ll be scared.” Avery said, then she strode towards the exit of the banquet hall.
By the time she carried Robert and returned to the banquet hall, she met Jun and Tammy who had finally come.
“I’m sorry we were late, Avery,” Jun said apologetically. “You go on ahead!” Tammy let go of Jun’s hand. She wanted to have a private chat with Avery.
Jun understood and walked into the banquet hall.
“Did the two of you…” Avery could not bring herself to look any further when she looked at Tammy’s face.
“Sigh! I drank some wine last night because I wanted to try and see whether I wouldn’t be that scared when I was drunk, but…” Tammy shook hered head.
“Was it that bad?” Avery frowned. “Don’t worry, Tammy, it’s normal to have that psychological barrier. I believe you will be able to overcome it slowly.” “It wasn’t that bad… We both drank alcohol last night, so I wasn’t afraid. But I guess his brain short-circuited or something because he played some music to soothe my mood. You know what, I didn’t feel scared anymore when he played thatze song.” Avery did not expect music to have such a wonderful effect. “What song was it? I’ll listen to it the next time I’m feelingf2 down.” “Baby Ducky Boo-Boo-Quack.” Avery was4e speechless.
“It’s ridiculous now that I think about it! I don’t know how he even thought about playing that song for me, but we had a good laugh when it started playing and somehow…it worked.”
Avery gasped. “That’s4e amazing!” “Even though it worked last night, I can still feel that hurdle inside of me now that I’m awake. That’s why I still need to undergo psychotherapy.” Tammy said while poking Robert’s face with her finger. “It’s such a pity that I can’t have my own little baby.” “That might not necessarily be the case, Tammy,” Avery said. “I showed your check-up results to a gynecologist. She said that you’re not infertile but just a little more difficult to conceive a baby compared to ordinary people. The chances aren’t completely98 zero.” Tammy was stunned. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” “Isn’t it difficult for you to…you know…do it with Jun? I was afraid to tell you because I was worried that you’d be under more pressure,” Avery said.
“Uuwaah! Do you know why I was so scared? It’s because I feel disgusted …. My memories of that incident will be jolted whenever he touches me.” Tammy’s eyes had turned red. “But if I can have my own baby, I’ll definitely work harder to overcome it.”
“Don’t cry, Tammy,” Avery coaxed. “Everything will turn out fine. Go ahead and get something to eat!” They entered the banquet hall, and Tammy went to eat while Avery carried the child and walked toward Elliot.
She had only left for a short while, but when she came back, she saw that Elliot had gone to the poker table.
“Do you even know how to play poker, Elliot?” She could see him holding the cards a little awkwardly. “Nope!” Elliot looked tenderly at Avery and the baby. He then comforted her and said, “I just need to be able to pay up.”
