"Elliot," Avery called him when she saw his darkened expressions. She immediately said, "It’s the New Year. You don't have to argue just on small matters."
He slightly calmed down upon hearing what she said.
Eric said, "I have been giving Avery gifts every festivity, other than giving her a ring, I have given her every other type of jewelry. You usually don't care for her, now I'm just doing what I usually do, what right do you have to get angry?"
Avery's impression of Eric was always a gentle one. At that moment, when he was questioning Elliot, she felt it rather strange.
Of course, she did not get angry at Eric because of what he said. Eric was targeting Elliot because of her.
"So what?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. He said condescendingly, "Are you together with her already? If not, shut up."
Eric was speechless because of this.
It made Avery angry too.
"Elliot..."
"Are you going to drive or not? If not, I'll drive," Elliot interrupted her.
He knew that Avery was going to stand up for Eric, but he did not want to hear about it.
Avery took a deep breath and opened the car door. She got out of the car from the driver's seat and went to the backseat to sit together with Eric.
Elliot calmly moved from the passenger seat in front to the driver's seat. The moment his hands touched the steering wheel, Avery regretted it.
"Do you have a driving license in Bridgedale?"
Elliot stepped on the gas pedal and calmly replied, "No, but I have been driving for twenty years."
Avery’s head hurt. Looking at his stance, she doubted he would plan to step out of the driver's seat.
Eric passed his gift to her once again." Take it. Every gift I gave you, I picked on my own. If you refuse this, I’ll be sad."
"It's up to me. If I want to work, I could work every day. If I want to rest, it's the same too." He smiled ?h+
