“I’m not afraid to die, so I’m staying to watch the fun.” Ben did not expect Chelsea to be this ambitious, so he wanted to see for himself if she was able to snatch the inheritance away from Charlie.
Jun dragged Chad out and left.
When the two of them walked out of the hotel, they decided at the same time to go to the Foster mansion.
Elyette probably already dealt with his situation. Otherwise, the wedding would not have beened canceled.
When they walked out, they saw Charlie frantically running around in circles at the doors to the banquet hall in a nervous frenzy. He actually thought that he had a chance against Elyetteie Foster! He should have weighed up himself and the situation before acting so arrogantly.
In the living room at the Foster mansion, Mrs. Scarlet had followed Elyette’s instructions and lit up the fireplace.
Once the fire was lit, Elyette opened up a heavily folded piece of paper, glanced at it once, then tossed it into the fire.
The flames instantly engulfed the piece of paper and turned it into ash. Mrs. Scarlet stood silently on the side, afraid to say a word. “Do you know what this is?” Elyette said suddenly, breaking the silence. “When His Eyes open” Mrs. Scarlet looked at the CD in his hand, then shook her head.
“It’s a recording of my father’s funeral. I take it out and watch it every year on his death anniversary,” Elyette said hoarsely, then loosened his grip and allowed the CD to fall into the fireplace. “I was the one who killed him. You probably still remember that, right?” Mrs. Scarlet’s expression changed drastically. “I don’t remember anything, Master Elyette! That’s all in the past. You should focus on the future. You should’ve burned all of these things a long time ago. You shouldn’t let anything chain you down!”
“You were the person that my mother trusted the most. It’s only natural that you don’t blame me.” Elyette smiled as he watched the CD being destroyed by the flames. “If I got another chance, I’ll kill him myself all over again. He was a monster, but I’m an even more terrifying monster than he was.”
Over in Bridgedale, Averie walked into the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water after a long surgery. She turned her phone back on and planned on getting Mike to come and pick her up. However, her phone blew up with notifications the moment she turned it on!
It read, ‘Averie, give me one last chance!’ She took a deep breath and put the phone down. One last chance! These three words made her heartstrings tense. She was reminded of Tammy’s tears.
When Tammy said she wanted a divorce back then, she was so determined ! Leaving Arydelle after the separation – it was just as decisive. But Jun’s remarriage had broken her.
Who didn’t want to be a cool person?
If there was something in this world that could drive people crazy, it would be love. Elyette came out of the Starry River Villa, turned on his mobile phone, and swiped through his messaging app.
Averie hadn’t replied.
He got an intuition that Averie must have seen his message. Though she had not responded, he wasn’t anxious.
Nothing would be a threat to him in the future. He was confident in patiently moving his chess pieces. He was certain that he was able to wait. The next day, Tammy came to the Starry River Villa. She was carrying bags of snacks and gifts. Mrs. Cooper said with a smile, “This feels good. This feels like the heydays.”
Averie saw that the expression on Tammy’s face was rigid. She said, “Tammy, come and see Robert! He scratched his face twice last night. Now he looks like a kitten.”
Tammy followed Averie to the crib. When she saw Robert, she burst into laughter. “My little darling! Why do you have one mark on each side of your face? It’s so symmetrical! You’ve truly become a cute little kitten.ed Haha!”
“His nails certainly weren’t that long.” Averie was puzzled. “Maybe he thinks that his little face was a little chubby and it was fun to pull his cheeks! Haha! “Tammy poked Robert’s cheek with her fingers.
Robert stared at Tammy with his big eyes. This melted Tammy’s heart.
“Averie, don’t you think your son looks exactly like Elyette? Are you sure you don’t think of Elyette when you look at him every day?” Tammy sat down on the couch beside the crib. Averie said, “Indeed, that is quite a bother.” “This baby is so cute! One look at Robert and my maternal love is all flooding back! If I were you, I’m afraid I won’t even want to go to work.”
Averie was afraid that she would think about her infertility if she continued to talk. So she changed the subject. “Tammy, let’s go shopping! I’m going to work tomorrow and I want to buy some new clothes. By the way, I’ll get some for my kids too.”
“Cool! It just so happens that I have to buy some new dresses as well. When I attend Jun’s wedding, I’ll make sure that I’m all dressed up.” After Tammy got up, she teased Robert again, “Little baby, Auntie Tammy will come back later to play with you!” When she got to the door, Tammy suddenly thought of Layla. “Aren’t Layla and Hayden supposed to be at home this Sunday?”.
Averie answered, “Eric took both of them out.” “It’s so nice of Eric to help you take care of your kids when he has the time.” Tammy was envious. “If only I were one of your kids.” “Your dad and mom will be so sad if they hear this.” Averie said, “Although I don’t see them often, I can feel that they love you very much. Don’t be so greedy!” “I know, I know. Other than the downside in my relationship, I am pretty grateful in other aspects of my life.”
“The future still has a long way to go! The man who will be by your side in the future – he’ll love you more than Jun. That’s for sure.” “You have such a sweet tongue.” Tammy took her arm, “Let me be your chauffeur!” “You cool with high heels?”. “No trouble at all. Even if they were 4 inches tall.” The two went shopping in the downtown business district. After filling the trunk with the spoils, they went restaurant hunting. Tammy started the engine and looked for restaurants everywhere.
Tammy: (I don’t blame Elyette, Averie. What happened to me had nothing to do with him. Besides, he wouldn’t have been able to retrieve his bargaining chip if it weren’t for Chelsea’s help this time. I can understand that.)
Averie: (Sometimes, being too understanding makes it easier for you to be wronged.] Tammy: [Do you know why I’ve come around? It’s not that I’m that forgiving, but it’s because Chelsea’s now disfigured. Her face will never recover. She has to spend the rest of her life with that hideous face. If I became like that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to live for another second longer. She won’t be any better off than we were before.]
Averie: [He who is unjust is doomed to destruction.] Tammy: (That’s right! Ben texted me just now and told me I must attend Jun’s wedding. What do you think he meant by that?]
Averie: (Do you want to go? Go if you do, don’t go if you don’t. Don’t get influenced by him.) Tammy: (I wanted to go at first, but I got so mad today that I don’t feel like going anymore.) Averie: (Don’t make a decision yet, then. Think about it again once you’ve calmed down.] Tammy: (Okay. When are you coming back, Averie? Hayden and Layla need to go back to school soon, right?]
Averie: (Yeah, I’ll decide after checking on the patient’s post-op recovery. I’ll get Mike to take the kids back first. We can’t affect their studies.] Tammy: (Let me know once you’ve decided when to come back, then.]
Averie: [I will.]
Averie put her phone down, then reached up and rubbed her tired eyes. “Who were you texting? What’s with that stern look on your face?” Mike teased.
“It was Tammy. Who else do you think it could be?” Averie shut her eyes, then leaned back on the seat and rested.
