Returning home, Avery felt empty.
In fact, it was not always that Elliot could reply to her messages immediately. If she was not about to ask him for his shares, she would surely not be that nervous.
She held her phone and refreshed her chat several times. She still did not get a reply.
She sent Tammy a message, [Tammy, how are you and Jun recently?]
[Tammy: Nothing much. He has been quite busy recently ]
[Avery: When you send him a message, how long does he usually take to reply?]
[Tammy: He'll reply when he sees it! Why do you suddenly ask me about this?] [Avery: I sent Elliot a message at noon. He has not replied to me yet.]
[Tammy: Why don’t you just call him directly and ask? He must be busy, so he hasn't seen the messages, if not, he would surely reply to you ]
[Avery: I thought so too, so I don't think I should call him. He'll be back home by evening anyway ]
[Tammy: Hmm, didn’t you go to work today too?]
[Avery: I brought Robert to get his vaccination, so I didn’t go to the office ]
[Tammy: Oh. I have never seen you coming to me for such a small matter! I always thought you always had Elliot tightly held in your grip. Who would have thought that the tables have turned! Haha!] [Avery: A relationship goes both ways. He likes me, and I like him too. We hold each other together.]
[Tammy: Yes! After divorcing Jun once, I realized that not only can't he live without me, but I would also be disappointed without him. How embarrassing!]
[Avery: It's all in the past. Just cherish each other!]
After chatting with Tammy, Elliot still had not replied to her messages. Avery put her phone to charge. She planned to ask him what he was busy about once he returned home from work.
At half-past five, the bodyguard brought Layla home. Avery's phone was fully charged. She unplugged her phone from the charger and looked at her chats. Elliot still had not replied to her messages.
