Avery walked up to him. "What did you buy?"
She had a clear view of what was in his trunk, and she instantly froze. The trunk was spacious and there was no telling what could be in it. Currently, it was jammed packed with boxes and bags.
"Elliot, didn't you tell me to go to your place tonight?" She changed the subject and said, "I thought you weren't coming."
"You coming over, me coming over, aren't they the same thing?" He took the bags and boxes out of the trunk and said, "I was walking past a street this afternoon and saw some nice things that you and kids might like, so I bought them all."
Avery was stunned for a moment, before finally realizing what he had just said. "Are you saying that you spent the entire afternoon buying all these for me and the kids?!"
"Yes." He continued to move the things he bought out of the trunk.
She grabbed onto his arm and said seriously, "Elliot Foster! Are you still drunk from last night?"
He leaned toward her.
Avery flushed and shoved his handsome-looking face away. "What are you doing? Our daughter is watching! Quit fooling around!"
"I'm giving you a chance to check whether you can smell any alcohol on me," he said seriously. He then turned to Layla, "Layla, come here. Daddy bought you gifts."
Layla immediately hopped toward him like a bunny as soon as she heard that there were gifts.
Avery noticed that Elliot was acting oddly and pulled him aside. "Is today some kind of special occasion or anniversary? Why are you buying me and the kids so many gifts?"
Suddenly, she was reminded of what Tammy told her earlier that day. "Is it that... you wronged me last night and you are now trying to compensate me with gifts?!"
