"Really? What a coincidence." Then, Tammy teased, "Could the both of you be going to the same place?"
Avery had no idea.
She had not asked Elliot where he was going on his business trip yesterday.
She was curious now, but she refused to ask him about it.
After all, what would it matter if they went to the same place?
By the time Avery washed up in the bathroom, changed her clothes, and walked out of the room, the twins had already left for school.
Robert was sleeping in the crib in the living room while Mrs. Cooper was busying away in the kitchen.
"I'm going on a trip tomorrow, Mrs. Cooper," Avery said when she arrived at the kitchen. "I'll be away for a week."
Mrs. Cooper was stunned. "Why are you leaving so suddenly? The kids would miss you if they don't see you at home when they get back in the evening."
"I'm going to attend a training course. I promised someone that I would go."
"I see. The kids will understand since it's for work. Are you going alone or is
someone going with you?" Mrs. Cooper was a little worried.
"I'm going alone." Avery took a seat at the dining table, then said, "Don't worry. I think it's a restricted area, so it's pretty safe." "That's good, then." Mrs. Cooper placed breakfast on the table, then asked, "When are you leaving?" "I'll book a flight after breakfast. I'll leave in the afternoon at the latest." Avery took a sip of milk, then asked, "Where's Mike?"
"He’s still in bed."
Just as Mrs. Cooper answered the question, Mike sauntered into the dining room.
"What are you two saying about me?! "
