Chapter 242
Avery was left speechless by Tammy’s words.
It was all her own fault!
Why did she have to accept Elliot‘s gift?!
Things would not be this awkward if she had just rejected it.
Avery hung up on Tammy, then called Mike and said, “Don‘t you think you should tell me before organizing a makeup birthday party?”
“What if I told you first and you said no?” Mike said. He knew her too well. “If I inform everybody else before I tell you about it, then you would have no choice but to show up.”
Avery let out a bitter laugh.
“You have fun with everybody on your own, then! I‘m not going!”
“I already invited Elliot Foster! That shameless man accepted the invitation right away!” Mike said mockingly. “Your ex husband sure is thick–skinned, Avery. Why do you like men like him?
Avery lifted her hand to massage her temples, then hung up the phone.
Tammy called again less than a minute later.
“Elliot‘s going to the party, Avery! I figured someone as proud as him would definitely take the chance to decline!” Tammy said. “I can never predict his reaction. Is this a special trait that only successful people have?”
“You can never predict the reactions of a madman, either. Stop looking at him through rose tinted glasses, Tammy.”
“Hahaha! You always get so worked up when we talk about him,” Tammy assessed. “It looks like you still love him! Otherwise, you wouldn‘t react like this!”
Avery took a large gulp of water, then found an excuse to end the call.
She suddenly missed the days when she was too busy for anything else.
After inviting Elliot to the party, Mike went into the bathroom to compose himself.
Once he was calm enough, he called Chad’s number.
Mike had deleted Chad’s number long ago, but for some god forsaken reason memorized it.
“I thought you wouldn’t answer my call! Why didn‘t you reply to my text a few days ago?”
Mike was forced to send Chad an apology text a few days ago after Avery’s threats.
