Layla was in her pajamas and had her hair down as she leaped around the living, dancing like a bird that had been set free while humming some unknown tone.
Mrs. Cooper held Robert and watched her performance; Robert stared unblinkingly and chuckled from time to time.
Avery couldn’t help but smile at the sight. She turned around and headed into the master bedroom and took new pajamas, before going into the bathroom.
After a shower, she managed to wash out all the exhaustion she felt and what happened earlier that day came to mind.
She had yet to apologize to Elliot for the misunderstanding concerning the roses. Though he had made other mistakes before, she had to set them apart.
She unlocked her phone and saw a message Elliot sent ten minutes ago.
'Are you going to Jun's wedding?'
She remained thoughtful for a few moments, before replying, he didn't invite me.'
Two minutes later, Jun called.
Avery picked up and heard Jun's flustered voice coming from the phone. "Avery, are you sure that I didn't invite you to my wedding? I remember that I informed you about it."
"You didn't. I heard about your wedding from Tammy."
"Oh, damn it! I forgot to send you the invitation! Avery, my wedding is on the first of April, you have to come!" Jun deadpanned.
Avery was slightly upset. "Jun, are you able to let Tammy go?"
Jun remained quiet for a few moments, before saying, "she was the one who divorced me and blocked me mercilessly. Do you think that all the pain she caused me is not enough? You haven’t forgiven Elliot, have you? So why should I forgive her?"
"I'm sorry..." Avery said guiltily, "since you've now invited me, I will attend your wedding."
"Sure. It's late now, so I won't take up any more of your time." With that, Jun hung up.
Avery spotted another message from Elliot.
Elliot had taken the initiative to mention what happened earlier that day
