Averie looked at him smiling. She was secretly annoyed. “Elyette, you’re childish! Didn’t you go on a business trip and not answer my calls? Now you’re forcing me to come to look for you. The most pathetic person is you!” The smile on Elyette’s face vanished. “Is this your attitude begging me?”
“I’m here to talk to you, not to beg you. Don’t think that just because you’re rich you could simply decide how other people live! If you don’t undo the boycott on Eric by tomorrow, I’ll continue with the live stream!” Averie said, “I don’t think you would dare to boycott me?”
Of course, Elyette would not dare to do so. If he dared to do anything to her, he would have done something already on the live stream that night!
Elyette looked at Averie’s slightly raised chin. He swallowed his saliva. “Continue live streaming?”
“Yes! I have already thought about the content tomorrow!” Averie looked at the fire of anger raging in his eyes. She added fuel to the fire, aggravating him even more. “I’ll announce to everyone who the father of my child is! Many asked me this question today. I believe that they must be interested in this!”
Elyette pursed his lips hard. His breathing turned heavy. If she were to announce to the entire internet who the father of her child was, he did not mind. He only worried about her and the child’s safety.
Averie saw how her words did not manage to threaten him, she thought hard to come up with something else.
“If you insist on boycotting Eric, I don’t need to save you anymore.” Averie took a deep breath and decided to go all out. “The live stream the day after before, I will announce that even though the father of my child isn’t Eric, I want to be with him!”
Eric’s eyes suddenly turned vicious. Averie was so frightened she took a few steps back Just when she was planning to secretly retreat to the exit and then run out of the door, she was lifted by him.
If she was not pregnant at that moment, Elyette would definitely have directly thrown her on the bed. However, he did not completely lose it! when he placed Averie down on the bed, he clearly controlled his strength.
“Elyette, you…”
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear a single word coming from you any more tonight! If you dare defy me, I’ll make sure that you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow!” Elyette threatened her rudely and savagely in a hoarse voice. He looked at her with reddened eyes.
Averie was so frightened she shut up. That night was long and torturous. He released all of the anger and resentment in him.
After doing the deed, he touched her belly with his huge palms. It was as if then only he remembered about the child in her tummy. When he slept soundly, she carefully picked up his phone.
Dawn soon came.
A breaking piece of news quickly filled up the headlines of all internet media!
[Elyette Foster: I Did Not Boycott Eric Santos.) The headline was straightforward and41 eye-catching!
Tapping into the headline, one could see the entire press release. Although the article was not long, its intention was clear. Elyette pointed out that he was not familiar with Eric. He did not boycott Eric. He would not do it then, he would not do it in the future.
The brands who canceled their contract with Eric were86 bewildered!
What did Elyette mean! What did he mean! Was Elyette two-faced?
Elyette’s phone was blasted by calls and messages, but that did not affect his sleep, because his phone was off.
Everyone could not get to Elyette, so they could only call Chad instead. Chad had been drinking the night before. When he was woken up by the ringing of his phone, his head hurt terribly because he was hungover.
Who would have thought that his head hurt even worse when he picked up theb8 call!
“News? What news? Mr. Foster would never say such a thing!” Chad got up and looked for his glasses. “Don’t panic. Let me ask what it is all about before giving you all a reply.”
After hanging up, Chad put on his glasses and simply opened one of the news app.
When he saw the news article, he furrowed his brows in a daze for a very long time.
“What happened?” Mike noticed that Chad sat there without moving, so he sat up as well.
Chad showed Mike the news. “Averie must have gone to look for Mr. Foster last night. Mr. Foster will never approve an article like this. He would never say something like ‘I didn’t do it’. This is not his style.”
Mike glanced at the news and said distractedly, “Are you saying that Averie sent this article out?”
“Yes.” Chad rubbed his temples. “It’s too awkward. The brands that dropped Eric were all baffled. They must have thought that Mr. Foster has a split personality.”
Mike could not help but laugh out loud, “What does your boss being humiliated have to do with you? Furthermore, he was the one that got himself into this. I can only say that he deserved it!”
“Bloody hell! I must quickly think of a way,” Chad said and tried to call Elyette. Elyette’s phone was switched off. He must have still been asleep.
Chad also tried calling Averie. Her phone was off too!
“Why is Averie’s phone off too? I suspect she must have spent the night at Mr. Foster’s.” Chad wanted to confirm his suspicions, so he dialed the landline of Elyette’s mansion.
Mrs. Cooper picked up the phone.
“Mrs. Cooper, did Averie look for Mr. Foster last night?” Chad asked.
“Hmm! They are still resting!” Mrs. Cooper said with a smile.
Chad’s face turned hot. “Okay, I understand.”
In the master bedroom in Elyette’s mansion. The sun shone through the window. Elyette slowly opened his eyes. He smelled a unique body aroma only belonging to her.
Looking at Averie sleeping soundly, his attitude turned extremely gently. He liked it when she was silent and obedient. How good it would be if she could always stay submissively by his side.
He could not help but touch her cheeks. The instant his fingers came in contact with her skin, she furrowed her brows a little. Averie let out a very soft hmm as if she was trying to complain.
Elyette could not bear to wake her up, so he stopped touching her. When he covered her with the sheets, he saw her baby bump and his heart melted. Inside her was their son. He looked forward to the arrival of the little kid. He would work hard to be a good father.
Elyette actually did not hate children. He was only afraid that his children would inherit his sickness. Thus, he would rather not have kids than painfully pass on his sickness to them.
This was a pain he could tell anyone.
After tucking her in, he got out of the bed. He washed up and headed down for breakfast. Mrs. Cooper saw how spirited he looked, she smiled and said, “Chad called just now.”
“What did he say?” Elyette sat in his chair, picked up the glass of milk, and took a sid.
“He asked about Averie and hung up.”
After breakfast, Elyette went upstairs to get his phone. Chad called him so early in the morning. Something must have happened.
Elyette picked his phone up and pressed the power button once. The screen did not light up as he expected.
He pressed the power button longer. His phone turned on. He furrowed his brows. He did not remember switching off his phone the night before, why was his phone switched off?
Once his phone was on a bunch of missed calls and messages. His chest tightened and tapped into the messages.
[Mr. Foster, have you seen the news today? I’ve seen it and lost all appetite for breakfast.)
[Mr. Foster, what is your stance on Eric Santos? I don’t understand. I’m in shock.]
(Mr. Foster, are you not boycotting Eric anymore? Can we partner up with him again?)
After looking at the messages, Elyette looked at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed with a cold gaze.
Before breakfast he was still gently caressing her face, thinking of doting on her his entire life.
