Avery flushed. "She said she doesn't plan on getting married." "Didn't Ben used to say the sthing? Look at him now! He's about to beca father," Mike mocked. "You can't possibly think whatever others say is the truth! If she met someone she truly likes, anything can happen." "Sure, but even if she really has a boyfriend, you don't have to act so shocked, right? I don't care about my employees' private lives." "Do you think I'm shocked about her? I'm shocked because you are so silly." Avery's expression darkened. "It's not that important so there's no need forto look into it. She said it's a mosquito bite and whether or not that's the truth, I will believe her. If it's really what you think it is, it's going to be humiliating to say it out loud..." "That's why I am telling you in private. I didn't say anything to her face, did I?" "If you dare to say that in front of her, I would have sewed your lips together." "Hahaha! I know what I shouldn't do. I'll head back to get ssleep and go to visit Ben at night." "Lilith went to get a check-up at the hospital yesterday and her progesterone level is a little low, so the doctor told her to rest more. I wonder if they are still going to go ahead with the wedding. I will need to check on Lilith later at night as well," Avery said.
"It should be that severe, right?" Mike recalled the way Ben distributed money to everyone in the group. He had thought that everything was going smoothly.
"It's not that bad, but the embryo isn't that stable in the first three months. Lilith wants to go ahead with the wedding and Ben wants to let her, but his parents think that the baby is more important. They want them to postpone the wedding until the baby is stabilized," Avery said. "If Lilith insists, things will probably go according to her wishes. They can't risk enraging a pregnant woman after all." "Avery, to be honest, Lilith is so hot-tempered," Mike said. "Ben always complains about it in the group." "He complained? What group is that? Can I be included?" Avery asked curiously.
"If I add your into it, they are going to kickout. It's an all-men group el.n and if you get in, they will stop speaking their mind!" Mike explained. "Your hubby is in there as well!" "Oh?" She lifted an eyebrow. "Who created the group?" "I think it's the twe gathered to play a poker gand because we didn't have much cash on us, we created a group to send one other money there if we lose," Mike said. "After that, it somehow becthe group for the guys to vent.
well, mainly for Ben and Chad, Your husband doesn't say much." "Giveyour phone. Letsee what he has said." Avery reached her palm out to Mike.
Mike handed his phone over obediently. "Why don't you just check his phone? Would he refuse to let you?" "He won't, but I still feel weird going through his phone." Avery unlocked Mike's phone and asked, "which group is it?" "The Poker Group." "Oh..." Mike was included in over a hundred groups and Avery searched for 'the Poker Group'. She opened the chatroom and keyed in Elliot's nin the search bar. Instantly, a few messages sent by Elliot cinto her sight. Sof them were simply others mentioning Elliot's name, but there were a few messages sent by Elliot himself. He had only sent four messages to the group in total; in consecutive order, they were [be patient], [calm down] and [hold it in] ...
