NovelEnglish"Why's her phone off?" Avery mumbled softly to herself, then walked out of the house.
"Are you going out, Avery?" When the nanny saw her on the move, she quickly followed behind her.
"Tammy said she was coming over but she’s still not here yet. Even if there's traffic, she should be here by now." Avery walked past the front gates and looked around.
The nanny comforted her and said, "Maybe she's gone to buy presents! She always brings all kinds of presents when she comes over." The nanny’s consoling words made Avery relax slightly.

"Mr. Foster especially asked me to take good care of you and not let you get sick.” "| stay at home every day now. I'm like a flower in a greenhouse. I'd get sick easier that way." "You still shouldn't be out here in this wind! ' The nanny helped Avery back into the house. "It's easy to get sick when the seasons change." "Is lunch ready?" Avery asked.
"It is. How about you eat first? We don't know when Tammy's arriving yet!" "I'll wait for a bit more." Avery wondered out loud, "She doesn't usually turn her phone off." "Maybe it ran out of battery when she left the house.” "It's easy to charge your phone nowadays, though. You could find charging stations everywhere," Avery said. "I'll wait for another thirty minutes. If she isn't here by then, I'll go look for her." "How are you going to find her if she's out? You should just rest easy and wait at home. You can call her husband if she doesn't show up and ask him to look for her," said the nanny. "Otherwise, you could also ask the driver to look around." Avery knew that the nanny did not want to let her leave the house because of the pressure from Elliot.
The more cautiously they treat her, the more uneasy she felt.
"I'll bring you a bowl of soup. | made corn chowder today." The nanny went into the kitchen to get her some soup.
Avery sat down on the couch and continued calling Tammy, but she still could not get through.
She ended up texting Jun to ask what he was doing.
Jun: [I'm at work! I'm extra busy at the end of the year! | heard Elliot's going on vacation soon. Tammy will nag me again, then.
Sigh] Avery: [I'll leave you to it, then!] Jun: [Is something up? You're not just asking for fun, are you?] Avery: [It's nothing for now.] She would contact him again if she still could not reach Tammy.
About half an hour later, a black sedan pulled up outside the front gates.
Avery heard the car >e&=ULU: immediately walked out to take a look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the car doors opened, Wesley and Shea emerged.
Avery was extremely surprised to see them.
"Wesley, Shea, why didn't you let me know you were coming over?" She strode over to welcome them.
"Avery! | made a cake and brought it over for you!" Shea held up a small cake and showed her. "Wesley taught me how to make it." "You're amazing, Shea. It looks even better than the ones they sell in bakeries!" Avery took over the cake as she genuinely praised Shea.
"Let me know how it tastes.” Shea held Avery's hand with a face filled with excitement. "Wesley said you can't eat too much cake, so | made it smaller." "Okay. I'm sure it tastes great.” Once they entered the living room, Avery opened up the cake box, cut a small slice of cake and tasted it.
"How is it?" Shea asked with a face filled with anticipation.
