Her eyes reddened in rage. "And what if I have a miscarriage?”
Her question had caused a lump to form in Elliot's throat and he was rendered speechless.
"The baby is barely three-months old, it's not certain that it will survive! If you keep pissing me off every single day, I can assure you that it won't.” Avery watched as Elliot gaped at her words and felt a rush from being able to retaliate.
He moved his lips, but did not say a word in the end. He knew that he shouldn’t provoke her any further when he remembered how hopeless Avery appeared to be back in the hospital.
She had plenty of chances to get rid of the baby before, but she didn't; she suffered through the morning sickness in silence and did not get rid of the child despite losing so much weight, which meant that she wanted to give birth to it.
Elliot slowly began to regain his composure.
Avery calmed down and unlocked her phone to find messages from Mike, Tammy and Eric. She replied to them one by one to inform them that she was safe.
Shortly after, the car drove into Starry River Villa and stopped before Avery’s mansion.
Once the door was unlocked, she pushed it open and get out of the car; but so did Elliot.
"Why are you getting out as well? Go back." Avery held onto her purse and stared at him across the car.
"Let's talk." "Talk? What's there to talk about?"
She was exhausted from the fight they had earlier and only wanted to go to sleep.
However, Elliot simply stood in front of the entrance of the mansion and waited for her to open the gate.
She walked towards him and opened the gate, before stepping into the yard with Elliot following closely behind.
She felt as though she was inviting a wolf into her house. When the door to the mansion was opened, he even hurried inside before she did.
She gaped when she saw him taking a pair of brand-new slippers from the shoe cabinet and changing into them.
