Chapter 817

Elliot grabbed Avery’s wrist and pulled her along into the mall without saying a word.

Avery instantly understood his meaning.

“Elliot, I don’t want you to buy me gifts! I only want to go home right now!” Avery tried to break free from
his clutch, but he held her tightly.

“Why did you not refuse Eric’s gift?” Elliot retorted, “There is no reason for you to accept his gift but not
mine.”

Avery thought that she had misheard him. How could he possibly say such childish things?

When Eric saw Elliot forcing Avery along, he immediately pushed open the car door and ran over.

“Why are you following us?” Elliot looked at Eric in detest. “You’re a big star, aren’t afraid that others
would recognize you? Don’t you drag Avery and me down, lest the paparazzi take photos of us!”

Eric retreated to the car because of what Elliot said. Eric was not worried about the paparazzi, but he
knew that Avery did not like her photos being taken.

After Eric returned to the car, Avery glanced at Elliot.

“The next time you want to give me a gift, buy it beforehand. Don’t you think it’s a little awkward right
now?”

Elliot said, “Eric should be the awkward one. He is showing off in front of me.”

“How is he giving me gifts showing off?” Avery questioned Elliot, “Who are you to me?”



Elliot’s dark eyes met with hers.

“I am whatever you say I am. I am fine with anything.”

Avery was speechless. His reply made her short of breath and blushed. She did not know what to do.

Elliot pulled her along to a jewelry store.

“Take your most precious jewelry out,” Elliot said to the salesperson in a hot-tempered manner.

The salesperson was delighted upon hearing what he said, “Sir, our high-end custom-made selections
have to be collected at the flagship store. Please tell me your budget, so I can recommend you
accordingly…”

“As long as she likes it, the price is not a problem,” Elliot demanded.

The salesperson immediately took an intricate album to show Avery.

“Miss, this is our high-end custom-made selection. Which one do you like, I’ll immediately get someone
to send it over for you to try.”

Avery looked at the album. Before she could look closely, her stomach grumbled.

She did not eat much that morning. It was already noon at that moment. She was so hungry she felt a
little dizzy.

Let’s head back to have lunch first! She closed the album tried to discuss it with Elliot.

Elliot was not willing to return home empty-handed.

He passed her the water that the salesperson served him. At the same time, he asked the salesperson,
“Do you have some food here?”



“Yes, I’ll get them to send some over.”

Avery was so awkward she slapped her forehead.

Elliot flipped through the album and started to look through it seriously. He was more inclined to a
minimalistic style, but he remembered how dazzling the necklace that Eric gave to Avery was. Was it
because Avery liked it?

He picked a similar type of necklace and showed it to Avery.

Avery looked at it and asked him seriously, “This is such a dazzling necklace. If I’m going to wear it, I
have to make up and dress up nicely. I would need to get a gown too…”

Elliot said, “Even if you don’t put on make-up or dress up, you would still look beautiful wearing it.”

Avery raised her eyebrow. “Are you trying to say that the necklace itself is very pretty, no matter who
wears it, it’ll be pretty?”

Elliot corrected her, “You have it the other way around.”

What he meant was she was gorgeous. She would look good no matter what she wore.

When Avery understood what he meant, her body heated up. Elliot was giving her gifts and flirting with
her. What was he trying to do?
