Chapter 526

Avery parked the car at the villa’s entrance.

The delivery man was waiting for her at the front gate.

After she got out of the car and signed for the package, her phone rang in her bag.She held the package
in one hand and used the other to pull her phone out.She answered the call after opening the front gate.

“Where are you?”

Elliot’s deep, low voice came through the phone.

“At home,” Avery answered.

“Are you not feeling well?” Elliot asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

“I’m fine. I came home to grab a package.”

Avery walked past the front yard to the front door and opened it up.

Once she was in the house, she placed the package on top of the shoeza rack.

“What’s up?” she asked as she changed into her house slipper and walked over to the couch.

“Zoe Sanford is, in fact, dating Cole.”

Elliot’s bodyguard had brought Cole to him earlier. Cole confessed to everything, so Elliot made the call
to Avery.

“How did you find out?” he asked.



“How did you confirm it?” Avery asked as her hand tightened around her phone.

“Cole told me. He said they started spending time together after I broke up with Zoe. They just recently
confirmed their relationship.” Elliot’s tone was very calm.

“I don’t care that he’s dating Zoe.”

Avery responded simply after hearing what he said.

If Cole had told Elliot that he not only cheated with Zoe on him, but also used him as a scapegoat during
Zoe’s pregnancy, then Elliot would not be as composed as he was at that moment.

“It’s all in the past,” Avery said. She wanted the entire matter to come to an end.

Elliot never loved Zoe, and nothing ever happened between them. That was enough for her.

She did not want Elliot to suffer from gossip.

Even if he did not care about being cheated on by Zoe, he would still be made a laughing stock.

Elliot was silent for a few seconds, then said hoarsely, “I know you’re mad…”

“I’m not! I don’t care, and I’m not mad anymore. Let’s just leave the past behind,” Avery said lightly.

From the sound of her voice, it was as if everything really was fine.

However, Elliot felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

He used to date Zoe, and she was even once pregnant with his child.

How could Avery possibly not care about that at all?

“I want to see you.”



Elliot was filled with guilt, and decided to make it all up to Avery.

“Sure. Where are you?” Avery asked.

“I’ll come over to your place.”

“If you’re at the office, then I’ll come to you! I don’t have much going on today.”

Avery did not want to disturb Elliot’s work.

Upon hearing her words, the knot in Elliot’s heart loosened as a smile appeared on his face.

“Okay. I’ll wait here for you.”

He hung up the phone, then checked the time.

If traffic was smooth, it would take about half an hour to get here from the Starry River Villa.

He stood up and began to make his way out.

Coincidentally, Chad needed to see Elliot and bumped into him while he was walking out.

“Where are you going, Sir?”

“I’m going to buy some stuff,” Elliot responded as he continued toward the elevators.

Chad froze for a moment, then followed after him. “What do you need? I’ll get it for you.” “I’ll go myself.”
Elliot’s expression was relaxed. His tone was not exactly gentle, but it was very polite. “Leave the
documents on my desk. I’ll take a look at them later.”

“Yes, Sir…” Chad saw Elliot’s good mood and decided to be nosy. “Did something good happen, Sir?”



Elliot tapped on the elevator button, then turned back with a smile and said, “Avery’s coming over later.”

Over at Starry River Villa, it had been ten minutes since the end of the phone call.

Avery was standing in her closet and still had not picked out an outfit to wear.

She had not even seen Elliot yet, but her heart was already racing wildly in her chest.

The dress she was wearing was pretty, but she felt that it was too plain.

She took out a dress that Tammy had picked for her, hesitated for a while, then decided to go ahead and
wear it.
