Chapter 573 “Chad, did Elliot deactivate his account?” Avery looked up at Chad.
Chad was taken by surprise and said, “he didn’t tell me to do anything like that so I’m not sure. Are youhaving issues transferring money to his account?”
Avery nodded.
“I’ll go ask about it when I go to work tomorrow,” Chad said awkwardly, “maybe he doesn’t want to takeyour money35 anymore!” “That’s funny. Does he intend on keeping Avery on his debt?” Tammydirected her frustration towards Chad and questioned sharply, “what exactly is his relationship withChelsea? Jun said that Elliot brought Chelsea along the last time they ate together.”
Chad was starting to sweat. “… They are colleagues, I guess! He’s known Chelsea for years so hewould sometimes take her out foree meals.”
“Who are you trying to fool? Jun said that Chelsea was putting food on Elliot’s plate and Elliot acceptedit… Is that what colleagues do in your company?”
“Tammy Lynch, it’s really not necessary for you to say all these things in front of Avery and herófchildren.”
“Are you embarrassed, too?” Tammy had always been hot-tempered and straight-forward.
“What does that have to do with me being embarrassed? Avery is the one who wanted to break up andnow that they broke up, my boss has every right to be with anyone he68 wants…”
“You’ve finally admitted that he is with Chelsea.” Tammy sneered.
“Why exactly are you venting your anger on me? Wasn’t Avery the one who told him to go 9 back to hislife?” Chad was agitated and retorted, “if Avery is jealous right now, then I can only say that it’s all her
ownza fault!”
Tammy was so angry that her lips began to tremble.
“Chad Rayner! You are f*cking out of line! You better look around and see whose house you are in rightnow!” Mike roared.
Chad stood up abruptly from his chair and said, “Sorry! I will leave!” The atmosphere in the dining roomwas chillingly awkward after Chad was gone.
“I’m sorry, Avery,” Tammy muttered guiltily, “it’s my fault…”
“I shouldn’t have brought him here for dinner,” Mike said.
Avery finished the food on her plate and set her cutleries down. “Chad isn’t wrong, and neither are you.It’s my own issue.”
With that, she stood up and walked out of the dining room.
She had been trying to strike a balance in everything, but there had never been such a way. Love toher was two people growing together, not one dragging the other down. Even if she hadn’t broken upwith Elliot, she would still try to pay back the money she owed him; besides, she did not regret herdecision.
The stress that loomed over her was too heavy when she needed to take care of her debt along withthe baby in her belly.
Once she was back in her room, she closed the door. After taking some time to regain her composure,she called Elliot.
“Elliot, did you deactivate your bank account?”.
“How much have you gathered to pay me back this time?” He asked in an emotionless voice.
She ignored his sarcasm and retorted, “would you rather I pay you back in cash?!”
“Contact Chelsea.” He seemed to have no intention of arguing with her and continued in a calm tone,“contact her directly to pay your debt from now on.”
Avery pursed her lips as her mind went blank.novelbin
“Are you happy now, Avery?” He asked coldly, “Chelsea is obedient, understanding, and never pissesme off. I only need to indulge in what she gives me when I’m with her; I don’t have to guess what she’sthinking all the time like a fool…”
Avery listened to his bragging and felt her stomach turning in response. “Ugh!” Elliot’s voice stopped onthe other end of the line, and his expression immediately darkened.
