He let out a breath of relief when he heard her response. He didn't want anything; he just wanted her to speak to him.
"You didn't reply to my messages." He felt so clumsy when he was standing before her.
"Then don't send me messages." She gave him a cold look and got into the car.
The red BNW's engine rumbled and turned swiftly, before racing off into the distance.
Once they were on the highway, Tammy asked, "Avery, have you fallen for him again? You look just like me when I couldn't sleep for nights in a row."
Avery lowered her head as she was not in the mood for a discussion.
"I checked Elliot out carefully just now and realized that he sure maintains himself well! He looks so handsome for his age that he doesn't even look any different from the first time I saw him..."
Avery interrupted her and said, "Tammy, how old do you think he is?"
"Forty?"
"Probably not that old." Avery scowled. " Definitely not forty. I should know if he is."
"Why? Is there supposed to be a grand celebration when he turns forty?"
"No. I just don’t think he is that old."
"That's exactly why I said he maintains himself well. Not only his face, but he has a great figure as well. Why would you ask him to be a perfect husband when you can just take him as a lover?"
Avery was stunned. "Do I look like the kind of person who would toy with others’ emotions to you?" "You have misunderstood. I'm not telling you to toy with his emotions; I am telling you to toy with his body!" Tammy blinked and continued, "Women's urges rise when they turn thirty, don't you need a man?"
It was a topic that she felt far too embarrassed to be a part of.
At night, Eric sent Hayden and Layla back and stayed for dinner.
"Mom, Hayden and I went to where Uncle Eric works today. Hayden helped someone control their drone and they gave him a big envelope of pocket money!" Layla said, before taking the envelope out.
"What about you? What did you do today?" Avery asked.
