Chapter 442

Tammy helped Avery into the car and Mike followed closely behind to remind her, “try
talking some sense into her, Tammy! She refuses to eat because she is on a diet! It’s not right, but she
doesn’t even recognize the severity of the issue! Look at how thin she’s gotten! She used to take walks
around the area and now she won’t even move…”

Tammy patted Mike on the shoulder. “I’ll talk to her. Don’t worry. She wants to go on a diet now, but
maybe she will change her mind after a while.”

“Oh… Why didn’t you guys invite me out as well today?” Mike was jealous.

“Because you need to take care of the kids!” Tammy25 said.

Once Tammy was inside the car, she waved at Mike. She closed the car door and the car tookgc off.

Avery laid in the backseat and asked, “did you invite Chad?”

“Why would I? He is Elliot’s assistant… I didn’t invite anyone related to Elliot, including my husband’s
senior23 Ben…”

Avery couldn’t help but chuckle.

“It’s not entirely for you… I just don’t like them… I’ve already told my husband to stay away from them,”
Tammy explained, “you know that saying, birds of a feather flock together? Elliot is a scum and so
anyone around him couldn’t be any better. If only I met my husband a little later, he might just fall under
their influence asza well.”

From the rear-view mirror, Avery saw Jun pursing his lips, not daring to object.

“Avery, when did you buy this dress that you are wearing? It’s so pretty!” Tammy’s attention was drawn to
Avery’s clothes. “This white jacket looks nice,35 too!”



Avery’s morning sickness had been intense and so she had stopped going to the office. Feeling bored
about staying home, she started enjoying online shopping and the clothes she was wearing were
purchased online.

“Let me send you the link later!” She said.

“Sure! It’s been a while since I shopped online.”

Jun couldn’t help but join the conversation from the passenger seat. “Avery, if you really want to lose
weight, you can go shopping with Tammy more often! Shopping is a kind of exercise as well, and it’s
better than not eating.”

Avery was about to respond, when Tammy seized the chance and said, “it’s up to Avery how she wants
to lose weight. Stay out of it.”

“Don’t be unreasonable, Tammy! I am only concerned for her health because she is your best friend.”

“Avery doesn’t need your concern. She only needs mine.”

Jun pursed his lips and sighed in his mind. Tammy didn’t usually speak to him in such a defensive
manner, but would often become very protective when it concerned Avery.

‘It’s bad enough that she won’t talk some sense into Avery for trying to lose weight like that, now she
won’t even let others do it. What’s her problem?’ He thought.

They arrived at the seaside mansion in an hour. The weather was great and the sun shone bright, with
the temperature going up to twenty-five Celsius.

Tammy and Avery got out of the car and walked towards the mansion hand in hand, while Jun took out
his phone to snap a picture of them from behind.

Once the photo was taken, he sent it to Ben with a message.



‘Guess which one is Avery?’

Ben had not paid much attention to news concerning Avery since he last went to eat at Elliot’s house;
after all, Elliot said that he didn’t wish to hear anything about her at the time.

Ben narrowed his eyes at the photo he received from Jun and zoomed in. Tammy was very recognizable
due to her ashy-gray coloured hair. The woman next to her was dressed in a flower dress with a white
jacket on the outside.

One could hardly tell that it was Avery from behind, because of how thin she looked. It was almost as
though a breeze could easily lift her off the ground.

Ben replied, ‘don’t tell me that the woman in the flower dress is Avery.”

‘That’s her! She went on a diet to lose weight and got so thin! I don’t know why she has to torture herself
like that. Could it be for Eric’s sake? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.

‘It’s a shame that you can’t see it yourself. She got so thin that she looks different! I could barely
recognize her when I first saw her this morning!’

‘Aren’t you exaggerating?

‘No! But she looks good after slimming down as well. She looks kind of fragile and weak from the diet
and seems so vulnerable! If she looks the way she does right now back when she was with Elliot, those
two wouldn’t have fought.’
