Chapter 449 Elliot gaped at the woman next to him.
He had only gotten to take one look at Avery from afar when he first entered the mansion. She was smiling at first,
but the smile on her face disappeared the moment she saw him. By the time he sat down on the couch, Avery had
already moved out of his sight quietly.
Now that she was sitting beside him, Elliot could see how slim her face was as well as the panic in her eyes.
‘She has slimmed down so much!’ He25 thought.
Avery seemed to have lost he edge and became extremely fragile, to the point that he felt as though he could
crush her with just one hand.
She met his eyes for a brief moment, before trying to get up and9c leave.
Elliot immediately grabbed onto her wrist and refused to let her go.
Everyone else in the room watched the drama unfolded with anticipation. All of Jun and Tammy’s friends knew that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElliot and Avery were once in a romantic relationship, and they couldn’t help but feel excited when they saw the
way the two interacted with one23 another.
Perhaps their will for something to happen was too strong, and as they wished, the situation began to spin out of
control.
2a”Ding!’
The alarm on the heart rate monitor around Elliot’s wrist went off as his heart rate rose from eighty to a hundred
and twenty.
Elliot, who had not reacted to videos of beautiful woman, handsome men, adorable babies, kiss scenes or sex
scenes, had lost all control over his heartbeat within two minutes of Avery sitting beside35 him.
‘How curious!’ Everyone was surprised at the sudden turn of events.
The alarm struck both Elliot and Avery like a hammer to the head.
Embarrassed , Avery blushed and put her hands over her face, not daring to face the others; whereas Elliot swiftly
took the monitor off his wrist and threw it away.
‘Damn that bracelet!’ He thought.
Elliot’s expression was both stern and awkward, and everyone around him was trying to suppress their laughter; but
Ben, who sat next to him, started laughing and everyone started laughing as well.
Instantly, the living room was filled with deafening laughter.
Avery desperately wanted to hide and flung Elliot’s hand away, before escaping the room. After leaving the couch,
her eyes locked onto the culprit, Tammy.
She dragged Tammy with her and the two went into a guest room. As soon as she closed the door, Avery
questioned angrily, “Tammy Lynch! Are you crazy?!”
Tammy couldn’t hold back her laughter and said, “I did it on purpose. Don’t you want to know why he showed up
out of nowhere? I thought that he came here for you, but couldn’t be sure, so I ran a test… And well, here’s the
result!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAvery was completely rendered speechless.
“Don’t be mad, Avery. I wanted to test him for your sake. Now that you know he still wants you, you will have to
avoid him by all means! That man is just terrifying! How can he not give up even after you stabbed him? I have to
say I’m impressed!” Tammy explained her action.
Naturally, Avery’s anger couldn’t be appeased that easily, because she didn’t want to know how Elliot felt to begin
with.
It took a lot of effort for her to finally find peace and everything turned into a mess after what happened earlier,
and she didn’t know how to face him from now on, unless they were to never see each other again.
“I’m sorry, Avery! I went ahead of myself. Why don’t you rest in this room tonight?” Tammy said, “I will let you know
once they are gone.”
Avery was in a horrible mood, but it was Tammy’s wedding the next day and she didn’t want to ruin it for her.
“Yeah, I’m not mad. Go play with them! I will go shower.” Avery opened the door and let Tammy out.
Meanwhile, in the living room.
Elliot had failed the challenge, so both him and Ben had to finish a bottle each.
Ben had a glass in his hand and drank the bottle glass by glass; while Elliot, on the other hand, held the bottle and
drank the entire bottle in one-go.
