“Don’t eat too much, or you might puke.” Tammy sat on the couch across from her and said,” do you know what Jun did today? He was worried that you might pass out in here because you skipped lunch, so he went and booked an ambulance, which is still waiting outside the mansion as we speak!”
Moved, Averie smiled. “Tammy, I wish that you and Jun would live happily ever after.”
“I know! Right now, your mission is to take care of yourself and the baby in your belly. When I picture your baby to be as smart and pretty as Hayden and Layla, I can’t help but pray that it comes into this world safely and healthily.”
”Yeah.”
After dinner, Averie came out of the guest room with Rammy.
When everyone else saw her coming downstairs, they urged her to sit down in the middle of the couch.
“Averie! Come play games with us! Don’t worry, Tammy already took us that you are not feeling well, so we don’t force you to do anything even if you lose!”
Averie gave Tammy a look ofza gratitude.
“What are we playing? I am not that good at games.” Averie felt rather energetic at the moment and was itching to play with the others.
“We are doing this challenge where you can’t get attracted! We will play some videos and you lose if you feel attracted!”
After hearing the introduction of the game, Averie felt it was almost too easy. She had never truly been attracted to anyone apart from Elyette before, so she couldn’t possibly lose.
Seeing how confident Averie was, Tammy reminded her, “they are shameless, and they might show you videos that are way out of line…”
Averie instantly blushed, but was still very confident.
Just then, Tammy’s cousin Ellie put a heart rate monitor around Averie’s wrist. “Averie, if you win, you get to make an unreasonable request to anyone here; though, I don’t think you can win this.”
“I am so going to win this,” Averie said.
The lights in the room dimmed and a large screen lit up before them.
A handsome man appeared on the screen and lifted his shirt to reveal the six-pack hidden underneath.
Everyone in the living room burst out laughing.
Averie, too, was chuckling, but her heart rate had only risen slightly.
Soon, they jumped to the next video but Averie managed to maintain her heart rate and composure.
She had met plenty of handsome men back when she was in Bridgedale, and had since become immune to them.
Finally, Eric’s alluring face appeared on screen. Videos of him in a white shirt, a knight’s armor and suit flashed by and the room erupted into chaos as everyone shouted excitedly.
Averie’s heart rate rose immediately, when suddenly, the lights in the living room were turned on following a ‘snap’ and the room was instantly as bright as day.
Everyone looked over to the door in shock and saw Elyette standing there in an all-black outfit; he appeared mysterious and elegant with the darkness of the night behind him. He oozed an intimidating aura with the cold expression on his handsome-looking face.
Averie glanced at the heart rate monitor on her wrist and noticed the number going down from a hundred to eighty.
‘Why is he here? Tammy said she didn’t invite Elyette or his friends, so is he here uninvited?’ She thought.
Tammy, too, was stunned. She pinched Jun on the arm and asked, “what’s going on? Why is he here?”
The temperature in the air dropped the moment Elyette arrived.
Tammy did not welcome his presence, but couldn’t pluck up the courage to chase him out.
Jun leaned towards Tammy. “Now that Elyette is here, we should welcome him! Enough with the long face and do this for me!”
After that, Jun hurried over to Elyette to welcome him with a smile. “Elyette, Ben, here you are! Have you eaten? If not, there’s still something in the kitchen…”
“We aren’t hungry at the moment,” Ben said, “what were you guys playing? You were all shouting so loud!”
Ben’s words had eased up the tension and those who were stunned instantly felt less nervous.
“We were playing a game where you lose if you are attracted! Do you want to join?” Tammy’s best friend Lisa invited themza enthusiastically.
“Sure! How do we play?” Ben dragged Elyette along and walked towards the group.
Tammy glared at her best friend for doing something unnecessary.
Feeling misunderstood, Lisa whispered her plan to Tammy. “We can prank them if they lose!”
Tammy instantly came to a realization.
“Averie, let’s sit on the side.” Tammy helped Averie up from the center of the couch, while Ben and Elyette were invited to sit instead.
The heart rate monitor around Averie’s wrist was taken off and Lisa walked towards them with it. “Which one of you want to go first?”
Without a moment of hesitation, Ben pointed at Elyette. “Him first.”
Elyette stared daggers at Ben.
Ben cleared his throat and picked up the snacks on the table, before explaining, “I’m a bit hungry, so I’ll eat something first.”
Lisa handed the monitor to Elyette. “Put this on.”
Elyette had always hated games, regardless of genres or nature of the game itself, so he rejected coldly, “I’m not playing.”
“If you are not here for games, then why are you even here?” Lisa looked at him in confusion.
Jun tensed beside them nervously. Tammy was fearless and apparently, so were her friends.
‘How are they not afraid of Elyette?’ He thought.
Just when Jun was about to intervene, Elyette took the monitor from Lisa’s hand.
Ben assured him with a smile, “I just looked it up online and it’s a simple game. They are going to show you some videos and you win as long as you don’t feel attracted. Hahaha, this is the perfect game for you, because you won’t budge no matter what they show you.”
Being overly confident, Ben announced, “let us bet on this! I bet that he’s going to win! Which one of you think that he would lose? Let’s place bets on this!”
Other than Ben, Jun, Tammy and Averie, no one else in the room knew anything about Elyette apart from the fact he was a powerful man.
In order to cheer everyone up, Lisa stepped up. “I’ll bet that he loses, then! If I lose the bet, I will drink three glasses of wine; but if you lose, you need to drink a bottle! How’s that?”
“Hahaha, sure!” Ben agreed.
The women gathered around and started looking for videos. For men as successful as Elyette, he must have seen his fill of beautiful women, so they had to find something more stimulating to make him lose. “I have some classic kiss scenes in my collection, along with some really hot sex scenes!”
“Hahaha, let’s put all of them in here! We also need something else. What if he doesn’t like women? Let’s include some handsome guys as well!”
“Sure! I have a collection for men!”
“What’s that? Show me!”
“Hahaha! It’s hilarious! Not bad!”
The women were having a wonderful time trying to look for videos, but they were too young and were clueless as to what kind of man Elyette was.
