[I'm at South Devotion Plaza, Fl, 2nd Floor. I’ll be waiting for you.]
Elliot sent her the location of their date that night.
Avery saw the message and could not help but smile.
"Who is it from?" Tammy came over and intentionally asked, "Look at you. He only sent you a message and you're already smiling so sweetly. You two already have three children. Why does it feel like you're still on your honeymoon?"
Avery blushed. She placed her phone in her bag. "So what if we have children?
Haven’t you seen those old couples that are still very much in love? I have."
"Tsk, I haven't seen them in real life, but in a book. It was talking about how an old couple was still so much in love that they exchanged dentures. The author puts it as if they were indirectly kissing."
Avery furrowed her brows. "That's not hygienic at all."
"Hahaha! You’re not a doctor right now! Does that mean, according to you, if a man and a woman kiss, it's also unhygienic?”
Avery was speechless.
At the Creekview mid-range neighborhood, Adrian opened a bottle of drugs and poured all the pills out.
It was Nathan's antihypertensive drugs. He had secretly taken them. He looked at the white pills in his hands and furrowed his brows.
Adrian wanted to escape, but he could not. He was on the twelfth floor. He could not jump. He could not escape from the front door either. Lilith was guarding him day and night. Even if he were to escape from Lilith, he did not know how to take the lift.
The new house was clean and nice, but he was filled with fear. If he did not find a way to escape, Avery would not be able to find him. He did not want to be trapped here. He was constantly in despair.
