NovelEnglishAvery knew that Elliot and Eric had a bad relationship, so she found it rather strange to see them standing together.
"Nothing to talk about," Elliot looked at Eric coldly and answered Avery. "Eric is worried about your bedroom life, so he remindedto exercise a little more.” "Don’t you guys have anything better to talk about?!" Avery's cheeks turned red and she walked away angrily.
Eric lost his cool when he saw Avery getting angry. "How shameless can you be, Elliot!" Elliot answered nonchalantly, "Not as shameless as you, I'm afraid. Words are no indication of a man's prowess. Instead of worrying whether or not | can still get up, you might as well find a woman to prove that you're still able." Eric left in a huff after hearing that! "You're toast," Mike said to Elliot. "When Layla finds out that you pissed Eric off, she'll definitely be mad at you!" Elliot felt a throbbing in his temple.

"I've got a way," Mike said immediately.” You should leave too. That way, Layla won't be mad at you." Elliot frowned.

To think that Eric—a defeated rival—would dare to provoke him! If Eric had not started the provocation, he would not have fought back at all.
After he left, Mike went to coax Avery." They're gone now. Don’t get mad, alright. There's still plenty of guests here!" Avery frowned and remarked resentfully,” You guys have crossed the line." "I swear, that had nothing to do withor Elliot. Eric was the one who started it," Mike explained, "It's because he can't win your heart that he's against Elliot. Of course, you don't have to blhim. After all, he's young "And does that mean you need to be just as impulsive too?" Avery retorted, "It's not like he'll go further if you don't add fuel to the fire." Mike laughed and changed the subject, "By the way, has your relationship with Elliot improved today? | saw you taking the initiative to look for him a couple of times."

Elsewhere, at Elliot's home, Mrs. Scarlet wondered why Elliot cback so early but did not dare to ask why.
"| suppose you haven't eaten yet, Master Elliot?" "Yeah." Elliot took off his jacket and threw it on the sofa.
"Get srest. I'll make something for you right now," Mrs. Scarlet said, then walked quickly toward the kitchen.
