Ben heard the discussion when he walked by the pantry, then strode over to Elyette’s office.
He burst into the room without knocking.
Elyette was quietly sitting at his desk with his eyes fixed on his laptop, but it was obvious that he was not paying attention to the screen at all.
“Why aren’t you taking a break at home?” Ben took a seat across from him and examined him.
“It’s working hours right now,” Elyette responded without emotion.
“The news online is true, right?” From the moment the news broke to it now being common knowledge, Ben had a strong hunch. “Charlie was holding this over your head, wasn’ted he?” Elyette confirmed blandly. Ben’s face turned pale. “Of all the years we’ve known each other, why did you never say anything about this, Elyette?
What a joke. How could I possibly not know if you really have a psychologicalie disorder?” “You said the same thing back then,” Elyette said. Ben froze for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant. He was talking about Shea. Before Shea was introduced, nobody around Elyette knew of her existence.
“It’s an old illness, right? You’re fine now, right?” Ben still refused to believe that this was true. “You get a medical checkup every year. Weren’t the results always pretty good?” “What does it matter if it was before or now?” Elyette glanced coldly at Ben. People who simply wanted to join in on the fun would not care about any of this. A short post about Elyette Foster suffering from a psychological disorder was enough for them to have the time of their lives!
“Now that this matter has been exposed, there’s no reason for you to marry Chelsea anymore, “Ben said resolutely. “Cancel the wedding and make the Tierneys return the money!”
Elyette shook his head and said, “The show has just begun.” “What show? What are you planning, Elyette? If you really marry Chelsea, Averie won’t ever forgive you!” Ben exclaimed emotionally. “Do you think I’m still hoping she’ll love me the way I am right now?” Elyette said as he broke into a bitter smile.
While the news of his scandal was going viral, he saw Eric Santos upload a series of photos on his social media account.
They were photos of him skiing with Averie, Layla, and Hayden. Elyette could see Averie’s smiling face through the protective goggles. She and Eric were a good match. “She’s a doctor. How could she possibly abandon you just because you’re sick?” Ben said.” Besides, your illness doesn’t affect your daily life at all. If Charlie hadn’t revealed your illness…
“Hayden was the one who leaked it. He’s known about it this entire time.”
“Then. What does Averie think.” Ben hesitated for a moment before asking this question Brause the answer was already clearly written on Elyette’s face. Elyette took out a cigarette and lit it up. “Don’t smoke so much, Elyette,” Ben noticed the new lighter in Elyette’s hand and guessed that he hai probably smoked a lot in the past few days.
*I didn’t want to embarrass the children,” Elyette said as his bloodshot eyes glistened with deep hatred. “I want Charlie Tierney to die a horrible death!” When he said that he did not want to embarrass the children, Ben instantly understood what he was feeling Layla and Hayden were already attending school. They were no longer three-year-olds.
They could find out about any of society’s trending news from their classmates and teachers. If things got blown out of proportion, would their classmates view them differently? Would they also think that Layla and Hayden were abnormal? Over in Bridgedale, Eric took Averie and the twins out skiing. Averie did not feel like going out, but since the children wanted to go, she had to agree to it. She was not very good at skiing, so Eric guided her the entire time.
Experiencing new things could indeed make a person temporarily forget their troubles.
After spending the entire day out, Averie was completely out of energy and had no strength left to think too much.
“Thanks for today, Eric!” Mike said. “Did you post the photos up on social media to try to p*ss someone off?”
“I just wanted to share my daily life with my fans,” Eric responded. Mike especially liked this about Eric. No matter what little things he was doing in secret, he could always act as if he had nothing to hide.
After dinner, Averie returned to her room and took ale shower.
When she walked out of the bathroom after her shower, she noticed Mike standing inside her room.
“Do you think it’s appropriate for a man to be in a woman’s room like this?” Averie threw on a cardigan, then said, “You’re beginning to cross too many boundaries.” “Aren’t you always barging into my room without knocking?” Mike took a seat on the chair by the desk, then said straightforwardly, “I’m guessing you already know about what’s happening in Aryadelle, Averie. I bet Tammy already told you about it, right?”
“Did you wait around here just to ask me that?” Averie sat down on the bed with eyes cold as ice.
Mike scratched his head and said, “Actually, I already knew about this a long time ago. I didn’t tell you since it was Elyette’s private matter. I couldn’t just blurt that stuff out, right?” “He told you he’s sick and you believed him?”
Mike was confused by her words. “What do you mean? Are you saying he lied to me?” . “Do you think he looks like someone with a psychological disorder?” After hearing about this from Tammy, Averie thoroughly recalled all the moments she had spent with Elyette.
Elyette did not have the best temper, but there were no serious issues with the way he did things and treated people. He had his own way of dealing with the world. As long as things went his way, he would not simply hurt anybody. Mike was stunned. “Of course, I don’t think he looks sick! Maybe he had a disorder once and got cured later.”
“Why use the past to torment others?” Averie retorted. “If he could tell you about his past illness, then why couldn’t he tell me about it? If he thinks that breaking up with me is for my own good, then fine. I won’t ever get involved with him again!”
Mike walked over to her and patted her on the back.
“Don’t be mad. Don’t you have surgeries to perform tomorrow? Go to bed earlier tonight.”
Averie lifted her hand to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes. “It looks like he loves me, but he loves himself the most. I almost begged him on my knees at the airport the other day, but he was completely indifferent. Mike! He was indifferent!”
Mike held Averie in his arms and comforted her in a low voice. “Men and women have different ways of thinking. He must have been afraid that this would affect you and the children. He was wrong to assume your ability to handle these things.”
“I don’t want to know what he was thinking because he has never told me how he truly felt,” Averie sobbed, “I would be a joke if I always had to depend on others, or the news, to find out what he was going through! I can’t sympathize with him! Even if he died from a sickness right now, I still won’t feel bad for him!”
“Don’t cry, Averie.” Mike had a mountain of things he wanted to say to console her, but they never escaped his lips,
Love was not something that could be explained with a few sentences.
