"Adrian!" She had not expected Adrian to call her. "Is this your number, or are you callingwith your family member's phone?" "My elder brother boughta phone,” Adrian said, "He bought it forbecause | said that | wanted to call you." Avery chuckled. "Have you been discharged? How are you feeling?" "|-" Before Adrian could finish, a rough voice of a middle-aged man interrupted him.
"It's late, Adrian, why aren't you sleeping? Who are you talking to? The doctor said you need rest.” It was Adrian's father. "Giveyour phone. | will give it back tomorrow.

Avery scowled at her phone after they hung up.
Although Adrian was ill, it had been days since his surgery and he was not a child anymore; she was surprised that his father would not give him the freedom to make a phone call.
Adrian's father made it appear as though he was doing it for Adrian's own good, but in truth, he was just trying to take full control over Adrian.
Rage boiled within Avery, but she was helpless in this regard. Thankfully, she had obtained his contact, and judging from his voice, Adrian was doing much better compared to a few days ago.
In the evening, Avery drove hand saw Chad there as well. She was immediately reminded of what she heard about Elliot from Shaun earlier that day as soon as she spotted Chad.
"Chad," Avery leaned closer to him and lowered her voice, "Did Elliot answer my call on speakerphone yesterday?" "Yeah. He didn't do it on purpose, though the secretary spilled coffee on his phone and the screen got a little slippery,” Chad said.
Avery tensed at the confirmation. "Doesn't that mean he's embarrassed himself?" Chad nodded. "He sure did! From yesterday up until now, everyone in the company has been talking about that. Mr. Foster might appear like he doesn't care, but | think he is quite upset about it. His image to all his employees has been destroyed.” "I didn't know that he was on speakerphone,” Avery explained awkwardly.

Mr. Foster isn't alone; you've embarrassed yourself as well," Chad consoled, "Not only have the others been talking about Mr. Foster, they have been talking about you as well." "What are you two talking about? Ceat! " Mike walked over ?b';PMS< wrapped his arm around Chad's shoulders, before looking over at Avery. "Chad didn't dare to cwhen | first called him here for dinner today, Avery. He thought that you were still mad about what happened last weekend. Hahaha! | told him that you act petty when you are with Elliot, but are quite forgiving to practically anyone else. Now he ought to believe me!" Avery glared at him. "I can tolerate that you are speaking ill ofbehind my back, but can you not repeat what you said in front ofall over again?" "Does it even count as speaking ill of you? I'm saying that you have courage." Mike noticed the cold expression on her face and instantly changed the topic. "By the way, | helped ask Hayden and Layla about the first of April and they both don't want to attend Jun's wedding." Avery looked at her two children. "Hayden, Layla, are you really not going? Your Aunt Tammy will be there!" Hayden shook his head. "I'm busy." "Uncle Jun made Aunt Tammy sad, so I'm not going to his wedding." Layla pouted.
Avery recalled the message she received from Elliot the night before.
Elliot wanted her to take the children to Jun's wedding because he wanted to see them, but since both Hayden and Layla did not want to go, Avery did not intend on trying to change her children's minds for Elliot's sake.
Soon, it was the first of April and April's fool; it was also the day of Jun's wedding.
Once Avery woke up, she called Tammy, but no one picked up.
