"You said you wanted to eat fish, didn't you? Just grab whatever you want," Avery said.
Tammy pulled Avery to the side. "Did Elliot go into the pond to catch these? Or maybe your bodyguards did? Elliot definitely didn't catch these with his fishing rod."
Avery sighed. "I caught these with a net. A few big ones came up as soon as I lowered the net."
"Pffttt!"
"I didn't even step into the pond. I just stood by the edge."
"Hahahaha!"
"Alright, Tammy. Stop laughing. I feel like he's probably never going to fish again. He keeps researching online to find out what's wrong after going back inside. I feel so sorry for him."
"Is it that bad? He's not your son. Why are you tip-toeing around him? I would have laughed so hard if the same thing happened to Jun!"
Avery was silent.
Elliot heard people talking outside and came out. "You came here alone?"
"Yeah! I came to see how many fishes you caught," Tammy teased. "Why didn't you end up with at least a big one? You are horrible at this. Where’s your fishing rod? Let me go try it."
Elliot pointed to his fishing gear. "Go ahead and give it a try! If you manage to perform better than I did, you can have my gear," he said generously.
Tammy grabbed the gear and headed outside excitedly.
"Don't get mad at her, Elliot. She didn't mean to laugh at you," Avery whispered.
"It's fine. So what if I failed? I'll just stop fishing," Elliot said casually.
