Avery froze. She had not expected Elliot to have guests over.
Elliot had never had the habit of inviting guests over, and because the others weren't speaking out loud, she had not heard them at all before she went downstairs.
Avery's face flushed three seconds after being stared at by the others and she immediately turned around to head back upstairs.
She had been quiet when she went down the stairs, but extremely loud when she headed back up.
Back in the living room, the others looked away.
"Elliot, that's the woman you are marrying
this time?" "Isn't that the same woman? Have you forgotten that she almost killed you?"
"I was wondering why she looked so familiar? She was the same woman from last time? Elliot, you sure are loyal!"
"It's not like that. That woman gave birth to Elliot's children. Three of them! That's not bad!"
"But Elliot doesn't like kids!"
"Hahaha! He doesn't like others' kids, but he's bound to like his own, right?"
The others discussed cheerfully in front of Elliot; while Elliot blushed and listened to their comments calmly.
He and Avery had already set aside all their resentment from the past.
