She was not feeling that uncomfortable at that moment, but after she had thrown up, she felt as if her body had been emptied and she became slightly weak.
She wanted to go home and lay down.
Ever since she learned that she was pregnant, she never drove herself anymore.
That was because her morning sickness was more severe during her first pregnancy, and she was afraid her symptoms would be even worse for this pregnancy.
It would be more dangerous to drive under such circumstances.
She hailed a taxi at the roadside after she walked out of the company.
After she got home, she nestled on the sofa in the living room, took out her phone, and sent a text to Tammy.
After she had thought it through, she decided to tell Tammy about her pregnancy.
After Tammy received the message from Averie, she immediately found a hidden place and called her.
“Averie Tate! You’re pregnant? Whose baby are you carrying? F*ck! That’s too shocking! I am going to get a cardiac arrest!” Tammy shouted on the phone. She was extraordinarily excited. She was even more excited than meeting Eric.
Averie pulled her phone further away from her ear as her eardrums hurt a little.
“Averie Tate! Don’t play dead! Hurry up and tell me! Whose child are you carrying? Ah! I am going crazy! Where are you now! I want to go find you! I want you to explain everything to me face-to-face!” Averie could not help but laugh at Tammy’s reaction.
“I am at home now. Don’t come looking for me. I’m going to rest after I finish up this call with you,” Averie said lazily, “Whose child can I still be carrying… I’m telling you about this because my morning sickness is starting to get worse now. Even eating has become a problem, let alone drinking… If someone were to persuade me to drink at your wedding, I’ll have to trouble you to help me block it.”
They had previously agreed to have fun together at Tammy’s bachelorette party the night before her wedding.
Once a group of them gathered, it would certainly be inevitable that there would be drinking. Telling Tammy beforehand could avoid a lot ofgc trouble.
“You’re pregnant so you certainly can’t drink! I won’t let you drink by then,” said Tammy, and then she guessed, “You can’t be pregnant with Elyette’s baby, right? My God, what are you two trying to do?”
When Averie heard his name, sleepiness instantly overwhelmed her.
Things between her and Elyette were temporarily irresolvable, so her mind would automatically avoid all information related to him.
That way she would not be in so much2a pain.
“Help me keep this a secret because the child may not even live past three months.” Averie got up from the couch and walked upstairs.
“Alright, I certainly will help you keep it a secret,” said Tammy. Suddenly, she got angry.” Other than spreading his seeds, what else can that jerk, Elyette, do? Is he still a man?”
Averie’s temples throbbed a little. “Don’t curse him anymore. This kind of thing won’t happen again in the future.”
She would just take it that this child that she was carrying was compensation to Elyette.
It did not matter if she was able to deliver this child smoothly, she and he no longer owed each other anything anymore in the future.
“You’re really easy to bully!” Tammy stood up for Averie. “If he dares to touch you again next time, you just directly take out a pair of scissors!”
After Averie realized what Tammy had implied, both her cheeks instantly became completely
reddened.
“Tammy, don’t be angry. If the child is healthy, I will deliver the child. It’s not hard for me to raise an additional child.”
“Hmm. Go and rest! I won’t bother you anymore.”
In the evening at Elyette’s mansion.
Ben’s car slowly parked in the yard.
Elyette was in gray loungewear. He stood at the door and surveyed Ben.
“I am here to mooch dinner from you.” Ben put the gifts that he brought in the living room. After that, he told Elyette about what happened at the company that day. Following that, he said, “Just continue resting at home after this! After resting at home for a day today, you clearly looked better.”
Elyette ignored it.
“Where is Shea? I’ll go call her to dinner.” Ben looked around but she did not see Shea.
“She is not feeling well today.” Elyette headed toward the dining room with big strides. “Aren’t you taking a little too much effort just to come to my house to mooch dinner from me?”
“I am mainly here to see you. How were you yesterday? I had a nightmare last night.” Ben kept nagging while following by his side. “How is Shea not well? Is the injury on her head making her unwell? When is her third treatment?”
“You’re extra talkative today,” Elyette said with disgust. A sharp ray flashed past his eyes. “Is something up with you?”
“Nothing is up with me.” Ben got sheepish.
Elyette noticed his reaction and he did not continue hounding him anymore.
Both just coldly refused to give in like that. In the end, it was Ben who lost the battle.
“Are you really not going to Jun’s wedding?” Ben sat on the dining chair and raised his eyebrows. “Eric is going. Averie was the one who invited him.”
Surely, the calmness on Elyette’s face had disappeared.
“The day before the wedding, they have booked a holiday villa by the beach as they have decided to party all night!” Ben continued, “I don’t know if Eric will be going, but Averie certainly will be going.”
Elyette’s gaze was cold. All his emotions were suppressed at the bottom of his heart. Three words coldly came out of his thin lips. “I’m not going!”
Ben was quite surprised by Elyette’s answer.
“You’ve thought it through?” Ben teased, “You should have long come to your senses. Do you know what she said to Chad? She said that since you returned her the sweater, she will wear it whenever she likes. She’s right, but she also said that she might wear it on a date in the future
Elyette’s knuckles gripping onto his utensils turned white.
“Do you think 1 care?”
Ben said, “I’m trying to make you forget about her?”
“Then, why bring her up?” He swept Ben a cold gaze. “Don’t mention anything to do with her anymore. I’m notoc interested.”
“That’s great! I was still worried you wouldn’t be over her.” Ben sighed in relief. “Too bad you can’t drink. I’ll drink alone.”
Ben walked over to the small bar and picked up a bottle of wine. Soon, Elyette finished his meal. He put down his utensils and left the dining hall.
Ben was holding onto a glass of wine. He was unhappy, “Hey! Come talk to me! It’s no fun eating alone!”
Elyette walked to Shea’s room. He did not sleep the entire night before. He slept all the way till noon thatza day.
After getting up, he heard Mrs. Cooper say that Shea was in a bad mood, so she did not go to class nor eat anything.
Elyette went to her room to check on her. She was sleeping back then, so he could not ask her why she was feeling down.
At that moment, it was dinner time. The skies were getting dark too. It was not appropriate to continue sleeping. If she were to continue sleeping, she would lose sleep at night.
Elyette pushed Shea’s door open.
Shea’s eyes were opened. Her black eyes were looking at one spot in a daze. Elyette did not know what Shea was thinking.
“Shea.” He sat down by the side of the bed, looking at her in a daze. He said gently, “It’s time to get up for dinner.”
Shea grabbed Elyette’s huge palms and asked, “Big Brother, your mother is my mother, right?”
Elyette’s eyes moved a little. “I heard you went out with Mrs. Scarlet this morning. You went to
the bus station. Were you afraid?”
“Big Brother, your mother is my mother, right?” Shea asked once again as if she did not hear him.
“Hmm.” Elyette could obviously sense that his sister was quite different than usual. She rarely asked him any questions, let alone sensitive questions like this.
At that moment, not only did she ask them, but she insisted on an answer too.
“Why did you not bring me to your mother’s funeral?” Once Shea got confirmation from her brother, she started to believe what Mrs. White said to her.
“Because there were many guests at the funeral that day. You didn’t like crowded areas in the past. I’m afraid you might get scared.” Elyette looked into her eyes. “You’re not afraid of crowded areas anymore, right?”
Shea nodded courageously.
Elyette was rather surprised by her change of attitude.
“Then, I’ll bring you to crowded places to play the next time?”
“But you have not got better yet.” Shea got up from the bed. “Big Brother, I’m hungry.”
Elyette helped her down from the bed and brought her to the dining hall.
When Ben saw Shea, he immediately kept the bottle of wine.
“Shea, I heard you’re not feeling well today. Where are you not feeling well? Did you call the doctor?” Ben asked in concern.
Shea shook her head. She picked up her utensils and ate with a lowered head. Elyette walked over to the living area and made a phone call.
