Did she add you on social media?" Avery asked.
"No," Elliot replied without any hesitation.
The second time Ruby went looking for him was through text messages. She did not add him on social media.
"If she does add you on social media, you should know what to do, right?" Avery reminded him.
"Ignore her.” Elliot gave her the answer she wanted to hear. At the same time, he asked, "How does it taste?"
"I'm not exaggerating, but your skills are as good as a great chef." Avery had a few bites and gave him her raving reviews.
"You must have not eaten much at the Hutchinsons." Elliot had eaten dinner. He knew where his standard of cooking was. His cooking could barely be compared to a professional chef. It was at most slightly better than hers.
"No. I came home full." Avery took a bite of food. "Although I'm a little biased, you really did well. At least this is qualified home food.”
Elliot was silent for a while before asking," Do you want to get a checkup? I think that Jed did something to you before he died."
"I did a checkup before. There is nothing wrong with my body." Avery looked at him. "After his death, I had at least done two fullbody checkups. Furthermore, if he really did something to me, I would surely be able to feel it. After the effects of anesthesia wore off, I did not feel any discomfort."
"That's because you did not have your guard up against Jed, which is why you didn't properly feel anything strange going on in your body,” Elliot said firmly. "I asked the doctor today. There are many bad reactions to general anesthesia. Usually, unless completely necessary, the doctors would never suggest the patient undergo general anesthesia. Jed must have done something to you."
Avery was stunned by his serious expression.
"But since you didn't realize anything strange, it's too late to talk about it now." Elliot noticed that Avery had stopped eating, so he changed the topic. "Eat up! After dinner, we'll call the children. It's not snowing yet in Aryadelle. Layla and Robert would surely be happy to see snow." "Hmm. We'll build a snowman then call them." No matter how old she was, every time she saw snow, the first thing that came to her mind was to build a snowman.
Avery took a bite of every dish. Finally, she put her cutlery down. She smiled. "Hubby, is there anything that you can't do?"
"Hahaha! Why do you say it so seriously?" Avery got up from the chair
