Averie did not expect the reason behind Tammy’s bad mood to be the love letter instead of her period.
“It’s in the past.Everyone’s done something stupid when they were young,” said Averie sympathetically.
“But I checked his phone while he was asleep last night and saw that girl’s name in his contact list.”
Tammy could no longer conceal the pain she felt.
“I have always thought that I am the only woman in Jun’s heart, but I’m not! Are all men this unfaithful? Elyette lied to you last night as well.You might think that he is doing so for your own good, but is it possible that he was with another woman?”
Averie’s face instantly flushed a crimson red.
“I’m sorry, Averie.I shouldn’t have said that just because my relationship isn’t going well…”
Tammy grabbed onto Averie’s cool hand and said, “It’s just that those two are close, and don’t people say that birds of a feather flock together?”
“So what are you going to do?”
Averie held Tammy’s hand and asked.
“I’m just going to observe the situation for now.There is no evidence that he is cheating on me with that woman.I pray that there’s nothing.I won’t stand by and do nothing if I find anything,” Tammy mumbled.
“Tammy, why haven’t you just talked to him?”
“I’m worried that he would be upset that I went through his stuff.” Tammy lowered her gaze.
“He’s been great with me and I’m scared to break the bubble that I’m in.”
Averie knew that Tammy had not been able to overcome the trauma she had from the kidnapping.She had lost confidence in herself because of it.
“Tammy, let’s not think about unpleasant things.” Averie smiled and changed the subject.
“Robert can say the word mommy now, but he hasn’t said the word dad just yet.”
“That’s because Elyette hasn’t been around enough.”
Tammy swiftly adjusted herself and said, “Once you all start living together, Robert will soon learn to call him Dad.”
Averie nodded.
Averie video called Jun at four in the afternoon, and when Jun received her phone call, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
“What’s wrong?”
Jun felt uncomfortable being the target of her cold glare, and he felt his back grow damp with sweat.
“Did Tammy say something to you? Am I not doing well enough? It shouldn’t be! I’ve been super gentle and patient lately.Elyette told me to give Tammy more time…”
“Elyette said that to you?”
Averie was slightly surprised.
“Yeah! What exactly did Tammy tell you? How am I supposed to fix it if you won’t tell me?” He asked.
“Why are you keeping the love letter you wrote fora classmate in a box? Not only did you not destroy it, but you even kept that girl’s number in your contact list.When exactly are you two planning to start dating again?”
Averie asked him all the questions that Tammy dared not ask.
“Huh? What are you talking about? I don’t understand, can you give me some hints?”
Jun was confused.
“That box you have with all your collectibles; why won’t you let Tammy touch it?”
Averie changed the question.
“Oh, that box is filled with fragile items.If Tammy goes near them, those antiques are going to be ruined! ” said Jun, finally realizing what Averie was going on about.
“Are you saying that there’s a love letter inside that box? Sh*t! When did I put that in the box?”
Averie studied his reaction and realized that he was not acting.
“When was the last time you got in touch with that girl?”
Jun rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, “Probably a year or two ago! She was about to get married, and she got in touch with all her old classmates.She got my number and invited me to her wedding…That’s clearly her trying to scam a wedding gift out of me, right? Do I look that stupid?”
Averie was stunned as she had not predicted that to be the story behind the number.
“I mean I can easily afford a gift that cost a few thousand dollars, but that doesn’t mean I want to get her that gift! If I spend money on that and Tammy finds out, she is definitely going to get mad.I know that temper of hers.”
An evil smile appeared on Jun’s face.
“Which is why when she invited me to her wedding, I asked to borrow money from her instead.”
Averie did not know how to respond to how he had gotten out of going to the wedding.
“I was trying to start a business back then, so I was in need of money.She just stopped replying after she saw my message.”
Jun sighed continued, “I wonder if she blocked me.”
Averie was not sure whether she should laugh or cry.
“Tammy told you to confront me over this?”
Jun suddenly switched to a more serious tone.
“I did this on my own.She doesn’t even dare to ask you about it.She said that she is worried you would blame her for going through your stuff.Go home and communicate with her.Be sure not to blame her for it.
“Oh, I get it! Thanks, Averie! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even know that she’s been that upset over this!”
In the evening at Starry River Villa, a black Rolls- Roice drove into the front yard.
“Mommy, why is Dad here?”
Layla noticed the familiar car and asked in confusion, “I thought you said that he is not coming here today?”
Averie remembered that they had agreed that she would be going to his house.
“Maybe he has something he needs!”
Averie stepped outside after answering her daughter’s question.
Just then, Elyette had gotten out of the car and was rounding to the back car to take something from the trunk.
Averie walked up to him.
“What did you buy?”
She had a clear view of what was in his trunk, and she instantly froze.
The trunk was spacious and there was no telling what could be in it.
Currently, it was jammed packed with boxes and bags.
“Elyette, didn’t you tell me to go to your place tonight? “
She changed the subject and said, “I thought you weren’t coming.”
“You coming over, me coming over, aren’t they the same thing?”
He took the bags and boxes out of the trunk and said, “I was walking past a street this afternoon and saw some nice things that you and kids might like, so I bought them all.”
Averie was stunned for a moment, before finally realizing what he had just said.
“Are you saying that you spent the entire afternoon buying all these for me and the kids?!”
“Yes.
He continued to move the things he bought out of the trunk.
She grabbed onto his arm and said seriously, “Elyette Foster! Are you still drunk from last night?”
He leaned toward her.
Averie flushed and shoved his handsome-looking face away.
“What are you doing? Our daughter is watching! Quit fooling around!”
“I’m giving you a chance to check whether you can smell any alcohol on me,” he said seriously.
He then turned to Layla, “Layla, come here.Daddy bought you gifts.”
Layla immediately hopped toward him like a bunny as soon as she heard that there were gifts.
Averie noticed that Elyette was acting oddly and pulled him aside.
“Is today some kind of special occasion or anniversary? Why are you buying me and the kids so many gifts?”
Suddenly, she was reminded of what Tammy told her earlier that day.
“Is it that…you wronged me last night and you are now trying to compensate me with gifts?!”
Elyette’s expression shifted drastically from her theory.
