Chapter 323
Elliot had a nightmare.
He dreamt that Avery blocked his number on her phone.
Not only could he never see her again, he could not even call her.
They were both completely cut off from each other forever!
Elliot’s heart throbbed with pain, as if he had lost his most precious possession.
He opened his eyes as his body was dripping in cold sweat.
There was a mist over his deep set eyes that were filled with unimaginable pain.
He found his phone and dialed Avery’s number.
It was seven in the evening.
She had slept all day, so she was probably at home and awake right now!
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try later.” The cold, monotonous voice of a bot rang in Elliot’s ear.
His fingers clenched down rightly around his phone.
It seemed like his nightmare had turned into reality!
Avery actually blocked his number!
There was no other reason why he repeatedly failed to reach her number.
To verify his speculations, Elliot pulled off the covers and leaped out of the bed.
He used the house’s landline and dialed Aveyr’s number.
His heart throbbed with every button he pressed.
Although he had not confirmed his suspicions, he had a very bad feeling about the entire thing.
Once he dialed the number…
It went through!
The call actually went through!
His fingers wrapped so tightly around the phone’s receiver that they turned white!
His eyes were filled with the redness of rage!
With his old temper, either the phone or Avery would be torn to pieces!
However, this time he was holding back and waiting for Avery to answer the call.
When Avery’s phone rang, she had one hand wrapped around her blanket.
She reached for her phone with her other hand and answered the call.
“Hello?” she said in a voice that was sluggish and hoarse.
“Avery Tate!” Elliot’s furious voice hit Avery’s ear with intense force. “Unblock my number right now!”
Avery instantly woke up.
It was embarrassing how quickly she was discovered.
She composed herself, then said, “What’s the point, Elliot? From now on, the both of us…”
“Unblock my number!” Elliot interrupted before Avery could finish her sentence.
Her eardrum hurt from the loudness of his voice.
“Can you not speak so…”
“Unblock me right now!”
“I won’t!” Avery snapped as her blood began to boil with rage. “Don’t order me around with that domineering attitude! You can’t order me around!”
Her clear, powerful voice instantly silenced the man on the other line.
In the silence, Avery noticed that her breathing had quickened, her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest, and her body temperature had risen.
She did not want things to be this unpleasant between them.
How… Did it end up like this?
“Are you really going to draw the line here?” Elliot said moments later.
The misery and hurt in his voice was undisguised.
No matter how hard things were, he had never lost his composure in front of people.
However, when it came to Avery, all of his principles vanished in an instant.
Avery’s eyes teared up as she said through the lump in her throat, “Zoe’s pregnant with your child. You should have a good life with her!”
