One of the men said in confusion.
“Is there another woman as rude as her in here?”
The other person pointed out that Averie was the one who made the sound.
“Just wait here.I’ll go check upstairs.”
Elyette kept all his laughter in stood up from the couch.
Upstairs, Averie looked through Elyette’s closet to look for clothes.She had come over in her pajamas the night before.She remembered putting her clothes here before, but after searching for a while, she could not find any woman’s clothing.
“Whatever.My sleeping gown looks good enough.I just need to put my underwear on, wash up and comb my hair, then I’m ready to head down and retaliate!’ Elyette entered the bedroom as she was brushing her teeth.
“Averie, did you rest well?”
He walked into the bathroom and asked.
She rinsed her mouth and set the cup down to glare at him.
“What’s with all those weirdos downstairs?”
“What weirdos? Those are my friends from the past.They heard that I’m getting married and came to congratulate me,” he replied gently while smiling.
“Stop smiling! I heard everything they said just now!”
Averie roared sternly, “Don’t think that I’ve forgotten about who those people are! Those aren’t good people! How did you come to know them? Why haven’t you cut ties with them? Do you intend on continuing to be involved in illegal acts?”
“Averie, it’s not what you think.Every country has different laws.Something could be illegal in our country but legal in other countries.If they really were criminals, how could they get here safely?”
“But I’m not about to stand idly by while they talk about me like that! If you don’t chase them out now, I’m going to show them when I get downstairs,”
Averie warned.
A while later, Elyette and Averie walked down the stairs and the others stared sternly at their entwined hands.
“Let’s head out to eat!” Elyette walked towards them.
“If we depart now, we will arrive at the hotel in time.”
“Sure! But is she going out dressed like this?”
Someone stared at the way Averie was dressed and said, “Elyette, don’t you think that it’s embarrassing for you if she walks out dressing like that?”
Elyette scanned Averie up and down.She was wearing a sleeping gown that was slightly creased at the bottom and a pair of flat slippers.
Though it was a casual outfit, it was also a refreshing one; on top of that, he didn’t have a change of clothes for her and she was hungry, so going out to eat became his first priority.
Elyette glanced at Averie and did not respond to the man.
Averie looked at the man with a smile.
“I don’t want to trouble everyone.Whoever thinks it’s embarrassing to eat with me, you may be excused from eating with us later.”
The others’ wanted to argue, but they weren’t certain about what to say.
If Elyette wasn’t concerned about how she was dressed, what could the others say? Seeing that they weren’t speaking, Averie looked at Elyette and said, “Let’s go! I’m so hungry.”
She had to eat her fill to regain her strength to argue with the others.
Once everyone was in their car, they headed toward the hotel.
Shortly after, everyone arrived at the hotel.
Since they were quite a big group of people, Elyette had booked a small event hall.
Some of them brought their dates, so someone suggested for women and men to be at different tables.
Just then, one of the men dragged Elyette to the men’s table and Averie calmly followed, before taking a seat next to Elyette.
“Ever since we’ve been in a relationship, we have always sat next to each other during meals.It’s a promise of love.”
Averie smiled sweetly as she scanned the frozen expressions on all the men.
“If you can’t bear to see me, you are welcome to sit at the next table.We Indeed, they all disliked Averie, but none of them dared to say so to Elyette’s face.
“Hahaha! I guess Miss.Tate can drink? You will need to drink with us if you sit at this table!”
Once all the men were seated, one of them plucked up the courage said.
Averie smiled confidently.
“Drink? Quit joking around! Elyette would never let me drink with another man.The last time a man passed me a glass of wine, he broke that person’s arm.I was so scared back then!”
The expressions on all their faces darkened.
“There’s also that one time that a man forced me to drink.Elyette beat him so bad that he ended up in the hospital.”
Averie chuckled cheerfully.
“Those men you were talking about are strangers to Elyette, how could they compare to us?”
A dignified old man shouted.
Averie batted her eyes innocently.
“But to me, you are all the same! No man can make me drink except for Elyette! Or would you all prefer Elyette to feed me the wine you are trying to force down my throat?”
The men resented Averie and turned their attention to Elyette instead, to pressure him into interfering.
Elyette looked troubled.He said to everyone, “She has a very low alcohol tolerance and goes berserk once she is drunk.Not only will she swear and scold, but she will also flip tables.If you can bear the consequences…I’ll let her raise her glass to you all?”
Averie immediately raised her wine glass in cooperation.
“Hey! Hey! Forget about it! We haven’t seen each other in a long time! We finally are able to gather to drink.Averie, place your glass down!”
One of them sternly said.
Averie timidly placed her glass down.
The waiter began to serve food.
Soon, the table was filled with food.
Averie was famished, so once the dishes were served, she immediately said, “Everyone, the food has been served.Let’s feast! Help yourselves!”
Then, she picked up her utensils and took a piece of meat to eat.
Everyone had a good level of living quality.
They were used to eating expensive meat and seafood, but when they saw Averie only going for the expensive meat, they were still a little uncomfortable because their female partners rarely ate meat.
“Averie, you’re taking so much meat, aren’t you afraid you’ll get fat?”
Her actions provoked one of the men there.
“Elyette finds me too skinny.He’ll only be happy if I eat meat.”
“Oh, I don’t find you skinny! I think you have a very ordinary body…”
“You’re not my husband.I don’t care what you think.”
Averie looked at that man.
“Furthermore, I really hate it when a slick man comments on my body.But look, we have two different upbringings, I won’t say what I don’t like out loud.If you didn’t talk about me, I wouldn’t have said that about you too.”
Averie’s words utterly offended every single man there, besides Elyette! Elyette saw how the atmosphere was rather tense, so he raised his glass.
After all, it would be a waste if no one ate the food on the table.
No matter what, he would get them to have some food first.
He would deal with the rest later.
“Averie is still young.She doesn’t know how to conduct herself, please bear with me.I’ll drink to everyone as an apology!”
Elyette said downed the wine in his glass.
Only then did everyone relax and start to eat.
That meal was rather peaceful, but Averie knew that beneath the harmonious facade, a current of hatred and resentment flowed.
A few of the men kept glaring at her intimidatingly.
Averie ignored them.She was not affected by them at all.
After all, seeing them get angry could only relieve her of the anger she felt at home.
Especially the one who said that he wanted to give a lady to Elyette to serve and pleasure him, he glared at Averie a few times.
Averie finished her meal and put down her utensils.
She took a few bites of fruit and got up to head to the washroom.
After she left, everyone immediately persuaded Elyette to calm down and reconsider whether it was a good choice to marry such a barbaric woman.
Elyette replied swiftly, “I have made up my mind.Stop trying to persuade me otherwise.”
In the washroom, Averie just entered when a brunette lady followed her in.
“Averie, Gary wanted me to pass a message to you.”
The lady stood next to Averie.
“Elyette is a brilliant businessman, but your thinking is rather narrow.You will only affect him.If you really love Elyette, you should let him be free!”
Averie looked at the lady coldly and enunciated, “Go tell your Gary.I will not let Elyette become like you! No matter how much money you earn, Elyette and I won’t envy you all! Stop coming to look for Elyette in the future.As long as I’m with Elyette, I will not host you all.”
After the meal, Elyette got the driver to send Averie back home while he went in Gary’s car.Averie watched him leave, furrowing her brows.
However, she believed that Elyette had already made a decision.
On the way back, the driver asked, “Miss Tate, where are we heading to?”
“My house.” Averie had a full meal, so she was rather sleepy at that moment.
She looked at her phone to see if there were any new messages.
Mike sent her a few screenshots taken with the drone.
[Mike: We mainly scouted the first target area this morning.
We found seven units that placed red objects outside their windows.
I checked each of them.
I didn’t find your patient.
Will continue in the afternoon!]
Averie did not expect that Mike would work so quickly.
She replied, (Thank you.)
[Mike: Are you finally up? I heard that you spent the night at Elyette’s last night.
Where are you now? If you’re still at Elyette’s, I’ll go there for a free meal!)
[Averie: I’m not at his house.
A group of terrible people came to his house today.
I chased them away.)
[Mike: F*ck. Are you that fierce? They are still his guests!)
[Averie: Is this your first day knowing me? It’s because I knew that they were not good people. Also, once we are married, his matters will be the family’s matters. After we get married, if he doesn’t want me to do the things he doesn’t like, I will change for him too.]
(Mike: Hmm. After all, once you’re married, you are family. If something happens to him, it will afedfect you too. Did you lecture Hayden last night?]
Averie blushed a little.
She replied, (Who told you?]
[Mike: This morning when the children realized that you’re not home, they thought that you left in anger, so I knew that a fight happened last night.
Don’t worry about the children.
Mrs. Cooper called Mrs. Scarlet this morning.
We knew that you went to have afun with Elyette.]
