"Oh, is your charger broken? I have a charger with me. I'll get it for you..."
"No need." Elliot's charger was not broken. He just did not want to charge his phone. His phone ran out of battery from listening to the recording of Avery. He listened to the recording the entire afternoon.
At that moment, as long as he heard anything that had to do with Avery, Adrian, and Henry, his heart hurt. He also felt nauseated.
Chad could not help but ask, "Mr. Foster, what is happening between you and Avery this time?"
"Don’t ask things you’re not supposed to ask. Don't tell things that you’re not supposed to tell." Elliot looked at Chad coldly.
Chad immediately shut up. "I got it. Are you returning home tonight? If you're not returning, I’ll go get you dinner right now."
"I haven't thought about it."
"If you don't return her calls, I think she’ll come to the office to look for you later, " Chad reminded Elliot, "You have never left her hanging before. She would surely think likewise."
"It's because I have never left her hanging, so she always did not care about my feelings." Elliot's gaze was cold. His tone was even colder. "Previously, when I fought with Henry, I was not even afraid. But right now, I'm tired."
He was not tired. He was sick of it.
He thought about how he had been taken advantage of since birth. At that moment, he was successful and famous. He thought he had control over everything. He thought that he had found true love and a home, yet he still could not escape being taken advantage of!
Avery had said more than once that she would not lie to him anymore. He had once believed her.
At that moment, the facade had been torn apart, rearing its ugly side!
He was sick of it!
Chad had never seen Elliot so depressed.
When he was angry, whether it was a fullblown temper or ice-cold revenge, Chad had seen it all. He had only never seen Elliot calling it quits.
Chad wanted to know what had happened between him and Avery, but he knew that asking Elliot once more would not get him an answer.
Also, Elliot had already told him not to ask things that he should not ask or tell things that he was not supposed to tell.
