Elliot's expression darkened further at Chad's words.
"Mr. Foster, I'll call Mike later and ask him who Avery's pursuer is. Don’t be too upset. If Avery's really determined to start a new
relationship, you might as well accept it! After all, you won't change her mind even if you lose your temper."
"She toldbefore that she wouldn't date another." Elliot swallowed in discontent.
"Is that why you haven't married again?" Chad felt like he had discovered the truth of a well-hidden secret.
"You have been watching far too many romantic films, haven't you? There is more to life than romance," Elliot said. Had he not
fallen for Avery, he would have never gotten married and beca father to so many children.

Chad lowered his head guiltily. "I'll go now, Mr. Foster."
Chad walked out of Elliot's office and into his own, before calling Mike right away.
Mike picked up in no time.
"Mike, tellthe truth, is Avery dating someone new?" Chad lowered his voice, his heart racing with anticipation. "My boss went
to see her and was so jealous when he saw that someone else had bought Avery a Dream Maker car!"
Amused, Mike thought to himself, "Elliot Foster is jealous! Hahaha! Good! Let him stew!"
"Well..." he said, "you know Avery. She is young, pretty, talented, and well-educated. She has never been short of pursuers, and
she was extremely popular here in Bridgedale! People ranging from ordinary college students to wealthy, successful bachelors fell
heads over heels for her, so | don't really know who got her that car.”
Chad was disappointed by Mike's answer." | thought that for someone as close to Avery as you are, you would know something we
don't!" he teased. "If Avery is accepting an expensive car as a gift, does it mean that she is agreeing to date another guy? This is
important, so why aren't you paying more attention to it?"
"lI am not with her right now! | haven't a clue about what's going on with her at the moment, and now that you've mentioned this, |
will call her and ask," Mike said while sniggering. "Your boss sure is interesting! Isn't it normal for Avery to date someone else?
Women need love most when they are around thirty, >h#=YKW> we should be congratulating her for getting a new boyfriend!"
"Why are you mocking my boss? It's not like he was the one who wanted the divorce and he hasn't found another woman
throughout the past two years. Who knew Avery would just move on?!" Chad said. "Just call Avery already! Letknow once you
find something."

"Alright." Mike hung up but did not call Avery, since he knew her life like the back of his hand.
He went to pour himself a glass of water and thought about things. Avery had only received a car and Elliot was already driven
insane by jealousy. If Elliot was told that she had a boyfriend, Mike felt that Elliot would explode.
After a while, he called Chad back and said, "I've asked her about it. Don't tell this to your boss, though. Avery likes to keep a low
profile and would prefer that no one knows she is dating someone unless she decides to marry that person."
"Crap! So she is really dating someone?! Who is it?" Chad adjusted his spectacles in surprise. The sudden turn of events was
simply far too shocking.
"Why can't she date another guy?" Mike asked. "She is young and her kids are all grown up. Robert might still be young, but Elliot
won't let her raise him, so life is far too boring if she doesn't get back in the game!" "Mr. Foster said that Avery told him she would
never marry again, though."
"She's not getting married. It's just dating!"
