Elliot grabbed Avery’s wrist and pulled her along into the mall without saying a word.
Avery instantly understood his meaning.
"Elliot, I don't want you to buy me gifts! I only want to go home right now!" Avery tried to break free from his clutch, but he held her tightly.
"Why did you not refuse Eric's gift?" Elliot retorted, "There is no reason for you to accept his gift but not mine."
Avery thought that she had misheard him. How could he possibly say such childish things?
When Eric saw Elliot forcing Avery along, he immediately pushed open the car door and ran over.
"Why are you following us?" Elliot looked at Eric in detest. "You're a big star, aren't afraid that others would recognize you? Don't you drag Avery and me down, lest the paparazzi take photos of us!"
Eric retreated to the car because of what Elliot said. Eric was not worried about the paparazzi, but he knew that Avery did not like her photos being taken.
After Eric returned to the car, Avery glanced at Elliot. "The next time you want to give me a gift, buy it beforehand. Don't you think it's a little awkward right now?"
Elliot said, "Eric should be the awkward one. He is showing off in front of me."
"How is he giving me gifts showing off?" Avery questioned Elliot, "Who are you to me?"
Elliot's dark eyes met with hers. "I am whatever you say I am. I am fine with anything."
Avery was speechless. His reply made her short of breath and blushed. She did not know what to do.
Elliot pulled her along to a jewelry store.
"Take your most precious jewelry out," Elliot said to the salesperson in a hot-tempered manner.
The salesperson was delighted upon hearing what he said, "Sir, our high-end custom-made selections have to be collected at the flagship store. Please tell me your budget, so I can recommend you accordingly..."
"As long as she likes it, the price is not a problem," Elliot demanded.
The salesperson immediately took an intricate album to show Avery.
