Chapter 289
“I‘ll still be happy! My ex and I are still good friends!”
Avery was speechless.
“Avery, who knows. Maybe they would get married,” Tammy continued, “Rosalie likes Zoe a lot. Also,
Elliot seemed to have come to his senses. Jun and I are speculating that if Shea’s second operation is
a success by New Year‘s, he will definitely marry Zoe.”
Avery said calmly, “I wish them all the best.”
“You have to look ahead too!” Tammy was worried for Avery. “You‘re still young. Your mom can help
you take care of your two kids. Also, they are already in school, so you don’t have to worry about them
too much. You can start enjoying life.” “I will enjoy it,” Avery said with a smile. “Can you stop looking at
me with pity? It‘s not illegal to be single, right?”

wedding?!”
“I have two children, how am I going to be your bridesmaid?”
“Whoever said that a divorcee who has children can‘t be a bridesmaid? I will make whoever I want my
bridesmaid,” Tammy said. “This is perfect. Your children can be my page boy and flower girl.”
Avery did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Her phone rang. She immediately picked up her phone and saw that it was from Officer Boyd. She
immediately answered the call.
“Miss Tate, James Worsley decide to appeal. I just got the latest arrangement from the supreme court.
His case will only be heard in court next year, so have a good New Year‘s.”
“Okay, thank you!”
“Don‘t worry. His appeal is just him trying to delay the outcome. The outcome will not change.
“Hmm, I have faith in our justice system.”
That evening, Avery returned home with an assortment of bags.
The moment she entered, her two children immediately came over and took her shopping bags from
her
“Mommy, what did you buy? The next time you go shopping with Aunt Tarnmy can you take me along?”
Layla was already on winter break.
“It‘s cold outside. You‘ll freeze to death.” Avery caressed her daughter’s head. “I won‘t! I’ll wear a
beanie and a mask!” Layla took out the new clothes and shoes from the shopping bag. Gradually,
delight replaced her dissatisfaction.
Laura came over and said to Avery, “Your Uncle Ron is asking us to go back for New Year’s. If you
don’t want to go, I‘ll go alone.”
“Let me ask Mike if he is going back to Bridgedale.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’ve asked him. He said he is staying. He doesn‘t celebrate the New Year’s in Bridgedale,” Laura said.
“Oh, then why don‘t you go see Uncle Ron on your own? If you want to take the kids along too,
Laura shook her head. “I‘m not taking the kids with me. They know that you have money now, which
was why they contacted me. While I was abroad, not once did they contact me. They didn ‘t even
inform me when your grandmother passed away.”
“Why not just stay here?” Avery felt sad when she saw her mother‘s disappointment.
“I have to go. I need to visit your grandmother‘s grave.”
Avery hugged her mother. “Mom, you have to take good care of yourself. If not, I won‘t have any close
family with me anymore.”
“What nonsense! Even if I pass on, you still have your children!”
“It‘s different. I can be cheeky with you. I can‘t do that with my kids?” Avery took a deep breath.
After dinner, the two children were playing in the living area with Mike.
Avery was on her phone when she came across a news article. (Elliot Foster, President of Sterling
Group, Buys His Girlfriend an Extravagant Wedding Ring!)
The photo was a secret snapshot. Avery recognized the figure in the photo. It was indeed Elliot. Next to
him was Zoe, smiling brightly with a ring in her hand!
