A cold sweat broke out on Elyette’s back, not because he was scared, but because the person was just simply bizarre.
No one ever dared to roam near his villa, much less glance at him so boldly!
Since it was difficult to see clearly at night, he could only vaguely make out the man’s silhouette. It was a tall and slightly chubby middle-aged man. Elyette could confirm that he had never seen that man before!
Why would someone like that appear outside his villa at night?
The car drove immediately into the front yard. Elyette got out of the car and gave his bodyguard some instructions before walking into the villa.
After a while, the bodyguard came into the living room and reported the situation to him, “I didn’t see any middle-aged man like you mentioned, Mr. Foster, but I saw a black car driving away. I’m guessing that person you mentioned was probably inside it.” “Check the surveillance footage and find out what time he came.” The picture of that middle aged man’s grin appeared in Elyette’s mind and he clenched his hands into a fist.
He wanted to deem that man as a mentally-ill individual because normal people would not dare to be so cheeky in front of him!
However, a voice in his mind was telling him that the man was not mentally ill.
The bodyguard said earlier that a black car had driven off. If that person really was mentally ill, he ought to be wandering around blindly on the road instead of driving away. Elsewhere, Tammy and Jun returned home to discover that the house was brightly lit and the door was open.
Jun’s parents were sitting on the living room sofa and there was some freshly brewed tea on the coffee table.
When the two of them saw Jun returning with Tammy, they kept quiet but looked right at
Tammy’s face.
The stir that Tammy created in Rosacus City was all over the internet and the video had gone viral. Eventually, all the Hertz’s relatives and friends forwarded the video to Jun’sze parents. Although the Hertzs were not on the same level as the Fosters, they were also among Avosville’s rich and powerful. Never in their family’s history had they ever been associated with such a shameful incident.
Although Tammy and Jun were divorced, they had gotten back together again and were going to remarry to each4a other. Everyone already regarded Tammy as the Hertzs’ daughter-in-law.
“Dad, Mom, why are you here?” Jun was afraid that his parents would blame Tammy, so he immediately said, “Tammy did do some impulsive things today, but I don’t think it’s serious. I don’t think it’s necessary for you to reprimand her.”
Jun’s mother, Hilda, sneered. “You’re going to marry into her family, so of course you think her behavior is not a big deal. After all, she didn’t really kill Chelsea, right?” Jun’s father, Harold, held his wife’s hand and hinted at her to speak a little4a less.
“Jun, your mother and I have taken these couple of days to calm down. About you and Tammy, we’ve already accepted reality and we’re not responsible for you anymore. Since you’ve already made your decision, we’ll respect your choice.” Harold said in a serious tone.
Tammy thought they came there to scold her and was surprised that they did not. However, it made her a bit awkward and uneasy. Jun said in bewilderment, “Are you sure you’re okay with me staying with Tammy’s family?! Don’t you think that’s really shallow of you? You said that I’m the only third-generation heir in our family and that I’m your most precious son!
Guess that’s all a big fat joke, huh! Is this how you treat your precious son?” He felt stung by how easily his parents gave up on him. To him, Tammy and his parents could never be mutually exclusive. In the past, the only reason Jun dared to shoot his mouth off at the wedding was because he was confident that his parents would compromise.’
Jun’s reaction startled his parents. Tammy was caught between them and she felt lost because she did not know how to ease the tension in their relationship.
Just as she was about to say something, Jun’s mother remarked sarcastically, “Precious son? Do you still consider yourself a child when you’re already thirty?”
“I could be sixty for all I care and still be your son!” Jun protested. His cheeks had turned red.
Hilda picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely.
Harold sneered. “Your mother and I agreed to let you remain with Tammy. Who said anything about asking you to stay with her family?”
Jun was speechless. Hilda turned to Tammy. “Come here.”
Tammy’s heartbeat quickened as she walked to her mother-in-law.
“Jun’s father and I have been reflecting on everything for the past two days. Our reaction to what happened in the past to you was truly inappropriate. Jun’s persistence has shown us that he is a responsible person and we’re very pleased with that. At the same time, it also made us aware of how selfish we are. Your lives are yours and we have no business interfering in them. From now on, the two of you can and should continue living your lives happily with each other.
Tammy’s eyes reddened after hearing what Jun’s mother said. “However, I’d still like to talk about what happened today. I know how terrible you must feel, Tammy. It won’t be easy to forget the hurt you’ve experienced in the past, but you shouldn’t let that risk your future. Your actions will only make Jun feel worried, and you really shouldn’t be so impulsive in the future.”
Tammy nodded. “Dad, Mom, it’s getting late and the two of you should go back and rest. Tammy and I have to rest too.”
Jun politely ushered his parents out. After sending his parents away and returning to the living room, he saw Tammy coming out with a bottle of red wine. “What are you doing with that bottle of wine, Tammy?”
Jun closed the door and walked up to her. “You’re not thinking of celebrating with a drink, are you? We can celebrate differently! Averie said you shouldn’t drink.” “I’ll just have a little sip.” Tammy poured a glass for herself. “I’m drinking, but you don’t have to.” “Why not? If you insist on drinking, I’ll drink with you!” Jun also took a wine glass. “Okay, let’s drink together.” Tammy poured him a drink. “Darling, I don’t think I’ll be so scared if I’m drunk Let’s try doing it tonight!”
Jun put down the wine glass in his hand: “I don’t think that’s a good8c idea…” “Let’s just try.” “Okay. We’ll try.”
The next day, Layla and Hayden’s birthday party went on asal scheduled. Layla changed into a princess dress early on and knocked on Averie’s door. “Mommy! Why aren’t you up yet? It’s Hayden and I’s birthday today! Aren’t you excited at all? ” Layla’s hair was still disheveled as she came up tod5 Averie.
Averie was feeling sleepy because she stayed up late the previous night to read about treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
“What time is it, Layla?” she asked in a hoarse voice.
“Seven!” Layla had an exasperated expression on her face as if the day was already coming to an end, “Mommy, wake up! Hayden did not wake up. I tried waking him up but he ignored me! Sob!”
Averie was forced to get up. Not long later, Mrs. Cooper pushed the door open and walked in with a parcel. “You have a parcel, Averie. I don’t know who sent it though.” Mrs. Cooper carried the parcel to the bedside and showed it to Averie. “Should I open it?” Averie looked at the parcel and frowned.
