Mrs. Cooper did not let Averie in, she walked to the gate.
“Averie,” Mrs. Cooper has a darkened expression. “Are you here to see Mr. Foster?” She knows that Averie was the one that hurt Elyette, so she had no pity or any feelings toward Averie at that moment.
Elyette has almost lost his life this time. He would definitely not want to see Averie again.
Averie nodded. “Is he home?”
“He is. After he was discharged from the hospital, he had been home recuperating,” Mrs. Cooper replied, “The doctor has instructed him to stay home and rest for at least a month.”
Averie pondered for a few seconds, she said honestly, “I am looking for him.”
Mrs. Cooper said, “Averie, what do you have to look for him for? He needs to rest in his current situation. The doctors have warned me to not disturb him if there is nothing important.”
Averie understood what Mrs. Cooper meant. He did indeed need time to recuperate.
“Averie, I’m very sorry. It’s not that I don’t allow you in or I don’t allow you to see him. Even if I report to him now, he might not want to see you,” Mrs. Cooper explained patiently after seeing the disappointment in Averie’s eyes.
Averie nodded and said calmly, “I’m not blaming you.”
Seeing how Averie was, Mrs. Cooper gave in. “Why don’t you stay here? I’ll go ask him right
now.”
“No, it’s fine! Let him rest!” Averie calmed down. It was inappropriate for Elyette to receive any agitation or provocation at that moment.
She was unsure if the child was healthy or not at that moment, so she could still wait to see if
the child could last three months.
Averie turned and left.
Suddenly, the skies started to drizzle.
Mrs. Cooper immediately ran back to the living area and took an umbrella out. She chased after
Averie.
Averie did not drive here. If she was about to hail a taxi, she still had to walk a distance.
Averie heard Mrs. Cooper calling after her. She immediately stopped in her tracks. When she saw Mrs. Cooper passing her the umbrella, she suddenly lifted her head up and looked at the skies.
Was it raining already?
“Averie, take this.” Mrs. Cooper passed her the umbrella.
“No need. It’s not heavy.” Averie refused. Averie did not accept the umbrella because she did not want to return the umbrella.
She only came here today because she was in a daze of the news of her pregnancy. After the last incident, there did not seem a need to contact each other anymore. Perhaps he did not even care if she was pregnant. She was completely dead to him.
Averie quickened her steps and left under the rain. Mrs. Cooper slowly returned back with the umbrella in her hand.
On the balcony on the upper floor of the mansion.
Elyette stood up. He saw Averie leaving.
Why was she here? When this question appeared in his mind, his heart suddenly ached.
If Elyette did not see her or think of her, he could eat, sleep, and live like a normal person.
However, the moment he thought of her, his body would have symptoms.
A moment later, a knock came on his door. Elyette entered his room from the balcony.
He opened the room door. Mrs. Cooper was standing outside.
“Sir, Averie came by just now. She said she was looking for you. I asked her what about, but she did not tell me,” Mrs. Cooper said, “She left.”
“I saw.” Elyette’s expressions were calm. His tone was cold.
“Oh, the next time she comes, should I invite her in?” Mrs. Cooper asked.
“No.” After a short moment of silence, head muttered.
When Averie returned home, she was completely drenched.
“Mommy, why are you so wet? Did you not bring an umbrella?” Layla said heartbrokenly.
Mike pushed her upstairs. “Quickly go take a shower. You might catch a cold.”
Averie headed upstairs.
“Uncle Mike, why did you let Mommy come back alone?” Layla looked at Mike reproachfully.
Hayden was glaring at Mike too.
Under the attack of the two children, Mike lifted his hands up in surrender. “Your Mommy said that she has something to do in the afternoon! She forbade me to follow her! i’ll go make her some tea! She won’t catch a cold if she has tea!” Mike said and escaped to the kitchen.
Averie took a shower and washed her hair. She went downstairs after drying her hair.
Mike stuffed a cup of tea in her hands. After thanking him, she drank all the tea.
“Averie, where were you this afternoon? It’s one thing if it’s raining outside. Don’t you know how to avoid the rain?” Mike grumbled.
Layla pursed her lips and stood up for Averie without thinking. “Mommy was already wet, why are you still nagging her!”
“Fine, let’s go have dinner.” Mike dragged the two children toward the dining table. “Averie, our bodyguard’s cooking is amazing! Give him a raise!”
Averie walked over to the dining table and looked at the feast on the table. She nodded. “Hmm.
“Aren’t you anemic? Have more meat,” Mike said.
Human psychology was a strange thing. Averie had a ham sandwich that morning but she did not feel nauseated or uncomfortable.
However, at that moment when she knew she was pregnant, she looked at the table full of different dishes, not only did she not have any appetite, but her stomach felt bad too.
Mike saw how she did not touch her utensils, so she grabbed some pork for her. She took a bite and said, “It’ll be good if there are some vegetables.”
“Oh, I’ll get him to make some vegetables tomorrow.” Mike noticed that Averie looked down. He guessed that she went to look for Elyette in the afternoon because before noon she was still fine.
“Eric’s manager came to look for you this afternoon, but because you’re not around, I had a chat with him,” Mike simply explained the incident in the afternoon to Averie.
“Oh, have you guys reached a deal?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Almost. The rest is up to you,” Mike said, “Eric is a great guy. I won’t call him a babyface anymore.”
“Since you guys are almost there, then just go according to what you have discussed.” Averie did not have any other suggestions.
“Oh, don’t you dislike marketing?”
“Everything is not absolute.” Averie had no appetite, so she put her utensils down. “I’ve been paying attention to Wanda’s company. They have been using all their ways to promote and market their product. It seems to be going well. Eric is doing this to help me. I have no reason to refuse him.”
“Not bad!”
“I cannot lose to Wanda.” Averie got up from the chair. “I’ll make a proposal then I’ll discuss it with Eric.”
“Hey, have some food first!” Mike saw the remaining half of the food on her plate. He immediately called after her.
“I’m not hungry right now. I’ll make some food for myself when I’m hungry,” Averie said and headed upstairs.
Once she was upstairs, she turned on her laptop and started working.
The rain outside was getting heavier, pitter-pattering against the windows.
She finished her work in distraction and jumped up from her chair. When she saw the time, it was almost eleven at night. She had to make a trip right at that moment.
Averie was still worried for the child in her womb. Before she could make sure that the child was healthy or not, she wanted to rectify the situation. She did not care whether it was too late to do so or not, at least she would feel better.
Averie put on a jacket and left with an umbrella.
Coming out of the neighborhood, about three minutes’ walk away, there was a pharmacy.—.
She bought a bottle of folic acid and put it in her pocket. She was walking in the rain with the umbrella opened.
