Chapter 425

If Elliot did not see her or think of her, he could eat, sleep, and live like a normal person.

However, the moment he thought of her, his body would have symptoms.

A moment later, a knock came on his door. Elliot entered his room from the balcony.

He opened the room door. Mrs. Cooper was standing25 outside.

“Sir, Avery came by just now. She said she was looking for you. I asked her what about, but she did not
tell me,” Mrs. Cooper said, “She left.”

“I saw.” Elliot’s expressions were calm. His tone was96 cold.

“Oh, the next time she comes, should I invite her in?” Mrs. Cooper asked.

“No.” After a short moment of silence, head muttered

When Avery returned home, she was completely49 drenched.

“Mommy, why are you so wet? Did you not bring an umbrella?” Layla said heartbrokenly.

Mike pushed her upstairs. “Quickly go take a shower. You might catch a35 cold.”

Avery headed upstairs.

“Uncle Mike, why did you let Mommy come back alone?” Layla looked at Mike reproachfully.

Hayden was glaring at Mike too.

Under the attack of the two children, Mike lifted his hands up in surrender. “Your Mommy said that she
has something to do in the afternoon! She forbade me to follow her! i’ll go make her some tea! She won’t
catch a cold if she has tea!” Mike said and escaped to the kitchen.



Avery took a shower and washed her hair. She went downstairs after drying her hair.

Mike stuffed a cup of tea in her hands. After thanking him, she drank all the tea.

“Avery, where were you this afternoon? It’s one thing if it’s raining outside. Don’t you know how to avoid
the rain?” Mike grumbled.

Layla pursed her lips and stood up for Avery without thinking. “Mommy was already wet, why are you still
nagging her!”

“Fine, let’s go have dinner.” Mike dragged the two children toward the dining table. “Avery, our
bodyguard’s cooking is amazing! Give him a raise!”

Avery walked over to the dining table and looked at the feast on the table. She nodded. “Hmm.

“Aren’t you anemic? Have more meat,” Mike said.

Human psychology was a strange thing. Avery had a ham sandwich that morning but she did not feel
nauseated or uncomfortable.

However, at that moment when she knew she was pregnant, she looked at the table full of different
dishes, not only did she not have any appetite, but her stomach felt bad too.

Mike saw how she did not touch her utensils, so she grabbed some pork for her. She took a bite and
said, “It’ll be good if there are some vegetables.”

“Oh, I’ll get him to make some vegetables tomorrow.” Mike noticed that Avery looked down. He guessed
that she went to look for Elliot in the afternoon because before noon she was still fine.

“Eric’s manager came to look for you this afternoon, but because you’re not around, I had a chat with
him,” Mike simply explained the incident in the afternoon to Avery.



“Oh, have you guys reached a deal?” She raised her eyebrows.

“Almost. The rest is up to you,” Mike said, “Eric is a great guy. I won’t call him a babyface anymore.”

“Since you guys are almost there, then just go according to what you have discussed.” Avery did not
have any other suggestions.

“Oh, don’t you dislike marketing?”

“Everything is not absolute.” Avery had no appetite, so she put her utensils down. “I’ve been paying
attention to Wanda’s company. They have been using all their ways to promote and market their product.
It seems to be going well. Eric is doing this to help me. I have no reason to refuse him.”

“Not bad!”

“I cannot lose to Wanda.” Avery got up from the chair. “I’ll make a proposal then I’ll discuss it with Eric.”

“Hey, have some food first!” Mike saw the remaining half of the food on her plate. He immediately called
after her.

“I’m not hungry right now. I’ll make some food for myself when I’m hungry,” Avery said and headed
upstairs.

Once she was upstairs, she turned on her laptop and started working.

The rain outside was getting heavier, pitter-pattering against the windows.

She finished her work in distraction and jumped up from her chair. When she saw the time, it was almost
eleven at night. She had to make a trip right at that moment.
