NovelOnlineAvery could not help but chuckle.
[You would have still accepted Ben's proposal even if Elliot hadn't said a word to you!]
[Probably not this soon though. | enjoy being pursued. What happens if he puts less effort into our relationship once | agree to
marry him?]
[Hahaha . ]
[The way you laugh is really unsettling, Avery.]
[Life wouldn't always be thrilling. Peace and stability are the best things that you can ask for. Just think about how other married
couples fight. Isn't that more terrifying?] [True. | just want to continue working even after | marry him. Otherwise, | would lose my
mind from staying at hevery single day and start picking fights with him]
[Just enjoy the moment and don't overthink it.]
[Yeah!]

Elliot was on his way to Avery's house when he received a call from Natalie. He put on his bluetooth earphones and answered the
call.
"Elliot, | heard that Avery is dating the owner of Dream Maker, is that true?" Natalie asked.
"Why are you asking?"
Natalie hesitated for a moment and said,"
The friend | told you about doesn't exist."
Elliot scowled. "Do you know what you are talking about, Natalie?"
"Of course, | do. Where are you right now? Let's meet and talk!" Natalie knew she had made a fool of herself, but someone might
use what happened against her even if she kept quiet about it. If that was the case, she decided it was best to face the situation
with honesty.
Elliot turned his car around and drove toward Tate Industries to find Natalie waiting outside the building entrance.
Elliot stopped the car before her and she went to open the door to the passenger seat before getting in.
"Buya cup of coffee," she said calmly.
"When did you cback?" Elliot started driving.
"Yesterday," she said. "I'm in quite a bit of a shock after meeting Billy so | cback. | don't want to go to Bridgedale again
anytsoon."
"I thought he doesn’t meet with people? How did you manage to ask him out?" Elliot was curious as to what she had done.
"I will show you the emails between=h): VJT> him later. | asked a few friends and they all had nothing but praise for Dream
Maker. | didn't want to give up, so | tried a few tricks. Thinking back, | realize how stupid | had been. Billy probably agreed to meet
withsimply because he was impressed by how foolish | was," she said.
Elliot stopped the car before a cafe nearby.
The two headed inside to order, and Natalie opened the mailbox in her phone and handed it over to Elliot, before saying
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmawkwardly, "don't laugh at me, Elliot."
He accepted her phone and glanced through her email with Billy. After a short while, he returned it to her.
He did not read the first email Natalie had sent Billy in detail as he was not interested in Natalie's efforts of "seducing" Billy. He
merely wanted to confirm if the email address indeed belonged to Billy.
"Dwarf. Ugly-looking. Are these all true?" Elliot asked in a low voice. "Does he not have any redeeming quality?"
"Probably just his talent for business, but apart from that, he is the worst. I've never seen a man that hideous before. Elliot, if
someone refuses to show his face, it's an easy guess that he only does so because he is disabled and ugly. There can't be another
explanation to it."
Elliot's expression darkened.
"Which is why when | chand heard that Avery was dating him, | was so shocked that | lay awake all night," Natalie
continued.
"Why does it matter to you who Avery dates?" Elliot asked mercilessly.
