Chapter 91 – Love Entangled with Her Unconscious Husband Novel Free (Volume II)

At noon, Eric had lunch at Averie’s before leaving.

“Averie, go and rest, and then go for your physical examination in the afternoon. I’ll take the kids out for some fun. What do you think about that?” Tammy had noticed that the weather was rather pleasant. She did not want to stay home. “I’ll bring the kids back home by six.”

Averie saw how much the children wanted to go out. Naturally, she did not disagree with Tammy’s suggestion.

“Tammy, would it be troublesome for you?”

Tammy said, “It’s no trouble. They are not babies that I need to carry. I’m not tired at all if it’s taking them out to play!”

Averie got the bodyguard to follow them. After sending them off, Averie returned to the house and shut the main door.

There was a white box on the coffee table in the living area. Eric had left it behind. It was his gift to her.

He said that it was his lucky charm. It was not anything expensive. He only hoped that it would bring herad luck.

Averie could not bear to refuse him, as the gift was not an expensive one but a meaningful one.

She took the white box and went to her room. She was sitting on the edge of her bed when Mike called.

“Averie, I’ll pick you up in two hours. You can take a nap,” Then, Mike quickly asked, “Is that babyface gone? If he’s not gone yet, it’s time to make him go, no?”

“Don’t call him that. He is a true artist. I heard his new song today. It’s a great song,” Averie said objectively. “I have never followed an artist before, but I truly am attracted by his charm. I’m officially a fan.”

“I’m having goosebumps! Please don’t tell me you have fallen in love with him!”

“I admire him.”

“Oh, you admire him! But, if you end up with him, I won’t object. When searching for partners, you either get someone rich or handsome, or someone with good abilities. Someone like Eric. I have to admit that he is handsome.”

“If you have nothing else to say, I’m hanging up.” Averie did not want to continue this conversation.

Having ended her relationship with Elyette, Averie did not plan on entering into another relationship or getting married.

A relationship takes up too much energy. She refused to be in another one.

Averie placed her phone down and opened the white box. In it was a rather unique-looking necklace.

The pendant was a ring. There were carvings on it too. It was in a language that Averie did not understand. She did not know which language it was nor its meaning.

Averie placed the necklace back into its box and lay down in bed. She had been getting sufficient sleep the past few days, so she did not feel tired.

She looked out of her window, watching the bright sun and the occasional passing bird. She felt extremely relaxed. She had never been this calm in such a long time.

These days she rarely thought about Elyette. She also did not think about their shared past. She did not have her future planned out. She never truly had such a calm life.

She hoped she could continue living it.

Two hours later, Mike came to pick her up. Averie met the colleagues whom she had not seen in quite a long time. She was rather emotional. Everyone missed her, as they had not seen her for a long time. They asked her how was her holiday, where she had gone, and whether she had fun or not.

Averie looked at Mike. Mike whispered in her ear, “I couldn’t tell them that you had been kidnapped by Elyette. How embarrassing would that be? I told them you had gone on a holiday.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I didn’t prepare any gifts for them.”

“Aren’t you only going back to work tomorrow? After the checkup, I’ll go with you to get

some.”

Averie let out a sigh of relief.

After a series of checkups, Mike and Averie left the hospital.

“Why don’t I send you home first. Just tell me what you want to buy, and I’ll go get them.” Mike was worried that Averie could not walk for long.

Averie shook her head. “I want to go out.”

“Then, tell me if your leg hurts. Don’t force it.”

“I know.”

“Averie, if I had known how many miserable things would happen to us when we came back to this country, I would not have allowed you to return.” Mike helped her into the car. “When we were in Bridgedale, everything went smoothly. I never once worried about you. Who could have known that your return would bring me an endless amount of worry.”

Averie was apologetic. “Why don’t you return to Bridgedale!”

“That’s not what 1 meant!”

“I know that. I think that I can handle work here. You should go back to Bridgedale—”

“Come back with me.”

“I’m not going. I like my country better than I love Bridgedale.”

Mike snorted. “Then, I’m not going either. I’ll be where you are.”

“You miss Chad, huh?”

“Why did you have to bring him up? He blocked my calls.” Mike stepped on the gas. “That jerk! He only has his boss in his  heart.”

Averie said, “I’m sorry!” “Why are you apologizing to me? Even without you, we will still have to face this problem. I will not accept it if he constantly places his boss first.”

They both went to a shopping mall. Averie bought some imported snacks. Then, she went to the jewelry shop to get each female employee a gold zodiac bracelet.

“Averie, you’re constantly making things difficult for yourself! You have to know each of their birthdays,” said Mike, taking a jab at her.

Averie said, “But they would be happy when they receive the gift.”

“They would be happier if you gave them money.”

“You might be right, but I feel some happiness can’t be bought with money,” Averie said.

For instance, the gift that she had received from Eric. She was much happier with the gift than she would have been if Eric had given her cash.

After buying the gifts, Mike carried the shopping bags in one hand while holding onto Averie

with the other.

After shopping for a while, her injured leg began to hurt.

“I already said I should have gone alone, but you wouldn’t listen. You never listen to others!” Mike nagged.

Averie automatically filtered his nagging.

The next morning, Mike drove her to work. After distributing the gifts, Averie returned to her office which she has not been in in a long time.

There was a bouquet on her table. She walked over and looked at the card on it.

On it was written, ‘Today is a beautiful day!’

The signature only had one letter, E.

It was from Eric Santos.

Averie smiled. She walked over to her office chair and sat down, switching the computer on.

She had half a month’s worth of work piled up. Although most of it had been dealt with, she still had to go through them. Thus, Averie spent the entire morning in her office.

At noon, Mike knocked on her door, asking her to head out for lunch.

“Have you received the medical examination results? It’s in your email,” Mike reminded her.

She nodded and got up from the chair. “I just received it, but I haven’t checked it yet. How was yours?”

“The doctors advised me not to drink for the time being,” Mike was troubled. “What meaning is there to life if I can’t drink?”

“Listen to the doctors. I’ll keep an eye on you,” Averie said as she tapped on the email icon of her phone. She read the results of her medical examination.

Mike walked in front and pressed the elevator button. The moment she entered the elevator, she read a line that shocked her. Early Pregnancy: Three Months!

Averie was pregnant!

According to the report, she had gotten pregnant the night Elyette had stabbed himself in the heart.

It was ironic! They were already estranged, and here she was pregnant with his child. Averie had no words or emotions to express the shock she felt. It reminded her of the time she had been pregnant with Hayden and Layla. She was extremely heartbroken.
