Chapter 420 At noon, Eric had lunch at Avery’s before leaving.
“Avery, 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.”
Avery saw how much the children wanted to go out. Naturally, she did not disagree with Tammy’s suggestion.
“Tammy, would it be troublesome for25 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!”
Avery got the bodyguard to follow them. After sending them off, Avery returned to the house and shut the main96
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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe said that it was his lucky charm. It was not anything expensive. He only hoped that it would bring herad luck.
Avery 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 Mike49 called.
“Avery, 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,” Avery said objectively. “I have
never followed an artist before, but I truly am attracted by his charm. I’m officially a35 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.” Avery did not want to continue this conversation.
Having ended her relationship with Elliot, Avery 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.
Avery 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 Avery did not understand. She did
not know which language it was nor its meaning.
Avery 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 Elliot. She also did not think about their shared past. She did not have her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfuture 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. Avery 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.
Avery looked at Mike. Mike whispered in her ear, “I couldn’t tell them that you had been kidnapped by Elliot. 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.”
Avery let out a sigh of relief.
After a series of checkups, Mike and Avery 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
Avery could not walk for long.
