Chapter 97 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

Richard said pleasingly, “If he was still alive, you would never have come out on your own. We would never be together either.”

Wanda said, “That’s true. Although he is dead, his daughter is still alive. Whatever he owes me, I’ll make his daughter pay back with interest!”

At the Starry River Villa, when Averie saw the news, she was stunned because before Eric was cured, she was a fake fan of his. She did not know that the necklace was something Eric used to wear often.

If she knew it, she would not have accepted the gift. When Eric requested for her to wear the necklace the day before, she did not think much about it.

She picked up her phone and dialed Eric.

When Eric picked up the call, his tone was as calm and gentle as usual. “Averie, do you want me to clarify or…”

“Yes.” Averie did not wait for him to finish talking before saying firmly, “I’m sorry, Eric. I didn’t know how much the necklace meant to you. I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”

“I’ll clarify, but please do not return the gift to me. I’ll be sad,” Eric pleaded.

Averie gave in. “Okay, I’ll keep it, but you have to clarify our relationship.”

Eric was silent for a few seconds before agreeing to it. After the call, Averie picked up a glass and drank some water.

“How manipulative! See, I said he was interested in you!” Mike was sitting next to her. He heard their conversation clearly. “But if you’re interested in him too, you’ll be an item with him by tonight!”

“He is too young. Young people are easily impulsive,” Averie explained, “I was once young too.

Mike said, “I know! When you were young, you were impulsive for Elyette. Now you’re having retribution.”

Averie was speechless.

“Averie, stop looking at Tweeter.” Mike touched her head. “The people on the internet are so rude! They say such harsh words! Don’t take their words to heart.”

“I’m not looking at Tweeter,” Averie said calmly, “Even if I did, it would not affect me. I can still take it.”

“That’s great!” Mike looked at the time. “Chad asked me out for supper. I’ll head out first! Call me if there is anything.”

“Go! Don’tad drink!”

“I know. I promise you I won’t drink!” Mike promised before grabbing the car keys and heading out.

At nine at night, Averie switched off the children’s room’s light. When Averie’s footsteps gradually grew softer, Layla tugged on Hayden’s arm.

“Hayden, Mommy rejected Uncle Eric. I’m a little sad. Why doesn’t Mommy like Uncle Eric? I like him a lot. He is so handsome. How good would it be if he was my father?” Layla found it hard to calm down, so she started chattering.

She did not dare to say all those in front of Averie because she knew that she could not change her mother’s decision.

Hayden was quite calm toward this matter. Although Eric was very good-looking and he also helped his Mommy, he felt that no one in this world was worthy of her.

“Then, good luck.”

Layla was confused. “Hayden, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“Good luck in growing up. Once you grow up, you marry him,” Hayden explained.

Layla was stunned. “Hayden, are you serious?”

“It looks like you don’t really like him.”

“I really do! But once I grow up, won’t he be old?” Layla was conflicted.

Hayden said, “If you really like him, you won’t mind how old he is.”

Layla took a deep breath. “Okay then..then wish me luck.”

Averie returned to her room and turned on her phone.

Eric posted a Tweet five minutes ago. His clarification was simple.

[If I am lucky enough to find someone I love and who loves me in the future, I would surely share the good news. As for Miss Tate, she is my goddess. I will always admire and respect her. I implore all my fans to stop attacking her. Thank you.)

After his Tweet, it was immediately trending!

Before bed, Elyette looked at his phone again. Another news popped up.

(Eric Santos Claims That Averie Tate Is His Goddess!)

Elyette gritted his teeth and looked at Eric’s Tweet.

Goddess?

What a shameless person! He should just proclaim that he loves her!

However, it seemed like Averie was not seduced. If not, Eric’s Tweet would not have been that way. He would have written, (Yes, I am together with Averie Tate!]

Elyette furrowed his brows. A sense of indescribable crisis loomed over his head.

He could not help but send a message to Averie. This was the first time they contacted each other after his injury.

Averie did not see Elyette’s message immediately because she went to bed after she saw Eric’s Tweet.

Early pregnancy was usually associated with nausea and drowsiness. She could sleep easier for the past two days.

Usually, when she occasionally could not sleep, she had to rely on melatonin to get a good night’s sleep.

However, that night, she fell asleep after lying in bed. She slept all the way until five in the morning the next day.

If it were not for her wanting to pee, she should still be able to sleep.

Once she woke up, the first thing she did was to take her phone and look at the time. Turns out, she saw Elyette’s message. She was stunned. She quickly took her phone to the washroom.

Elyette’s message read, [Were you looking for me yesterday?)

Yesterday? Averie thought back carefully. She did not look for him the day before!

Hold up!

She looked at the time he sent the message. It was ten-thirty the night before! Averie felt chills running down her back. She was completely  awake.

Coming out of the washroom, she took her phone back to bed. After lying down in bed, she looked at his news. She was hesitating about how to reply to him. Should she tell him that she was pregnant? He needed to recuperate at that moment. She better not use that to agitate him.

However, it was not easy to come up with a lie. Elyette was extremely alert. He was not that easy to lie to.

After thinking and struggling for a while, Averie replied, (I passed by your place the day before, so I thought to stop by.]

After sending the message, she completely lost her urge to sleep. Averie held her phone and looked at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

Her heart was about to pop up. He only sent a single message. Why was she so nervous?

Why when she was facing other men, she could remain calm and composed, yet when she faced him, her thoughts were often easily messed up?

Her notification was on silent mode. Also, she reckoned that Elyette must be asleep at that moment. He would surely not reply to her message. Thus, she held onto her phone and opened her eyes wide in a daze.

When her eyes were rather dry, she picked up her phone to look at the time, yet…she saw his reply!

His reply was sent after her message! It was replied instantly! It was five in the morning, yet he replied to her message instantly. Averie had to suspect that he did not sleep the entire night! That was because Elyette did not have the habit of playing with his phone.

Averie sat up and looked at his reply.

Elyette replied, (Stop by? What is there to stop by? Don’t tell me that you wanted to see me!)

The exclamation mark frightened Averie a little. It made her feel that Elyette was furious when he typed the message. Averie smacked her forehead.

How should she reply to him?

She had a good night’s sleep. She should be feeling spirited, yet when she saw his message, she was rather bewildered.

Averie’s fingers moved. [Have you stayed up all night?]

She wanted to change the topic, so she sent that message. However, that message infuriated Elyette!

After sending the message to her the night before, Elyette has been waiting for her message for the entire night! Halfway through, he tried to turn off his phone and force himself to sleep but to no avail!

Elyette thought about how he was the President of the Sterling Group, yet his heart was broken by her. He took the initiative to send her a message, yet she did not reply to it immediately!

He was in an utterly bad mood! He looked at her message with reddened eyes. He quickly typed on his phone, (Aren’t you delighted?)
