"Let's head out to eat!" Elliot walked towards them. "If we depart now, we will arrive at the hotel in time." "Sure! But is she going out dressed like this?" Someone stared at the way Avery was dressed and said, "Elliot, don't you think that it's embarrassing for you if she walks out dressing like that?" Elliot scanned Avery up and down. She was wearing a sleeping gown that was slightly creased at the bottom and a pair of flat slippers. Though it was a casual outfit, it was also a refreshing one; on top of that, he didn’t have a change of clothes for her and she was hungry, so going out to eat bechis first priority.

Avery looked at the man with a smile. "I don't want to trouble everyone. Whoever thinks it's embarrassing to eat with me, you may be excused from eating with us later." The others’ wanted to argue, but they weren't certain about what to say. If Elliot wasn't concerned about how she was dressed, what could the others say?

"If you can't bear to see me, you are welcto sit at the next table.” Indeed, they all disliked Avery, but none of them dared to say so to Elliot's face.
"Hahaha! | guess Miss. Tate can drink? You will need to drink with us if you sit at this table!" Once all the men were seated, one of them plucked up the courage Avery smiled confidently. "Drink?

The expressions on all their faces darkened.
"There's also that one tthat a man forcedto drink. Elliot beat him so bad that he ended up in the hospital.” Avery chuckled cheerfully.
"Those men you were talking about are strangers to Elliot, how could they compare to us?" A dignified old man shouted.
Avery batted her eyes innocently. "But to me, you are all the same! No man can makedrink except for Elliot! Or would you all prefer Elliot to feedthe wine you are trying to force down my throat?" The men resented Avery and turned their attention to Elliot instead, to pressure him into interfering.
