Chapter 1009
Avery video called Jun at four in the afternoon, and when Jun received her phone call, he immediately realized that something was wrong. “What’s wrong?” Jun felt uncomfortable being the target of her cold glare, and he felt his back grow damp with sweat. “Did Tammy say something to you? Am I not doing well enough? It shouldn’t be! I’ve been super gentle and patient lately. Elliot told me to give Tammy more time…” “Elliot said that to you?” Avery was slightly surprised. “Yeah! What exactly did Tammy tell you? How am I supposed to fix it if you won’t tell me?” He asked.
“Why are you keeping the love letter you wrote for a classmate in a box? Not only did you not destroy it, but you even kept that girl’s number in your contact list. When exactly are you two planning to start dating again?” Avery asked him all the questions that Tammy dared not ask. “Huh? What are you talking about? I don’t understand, can you give me some hints?” Jun was confused. “That box you have with all your collectibles; why won’t you let Tammy touch it?” Avery changed the question. “Oh, that box is filled with fragile items. If Tammy goes near them, those antiques are going to be ruined!” said Jun, finally realizing what Avery was going on about. “Are you saying that there’s a love letter inside that box? Sh*t! When did I put that in the box?”
Avery studied his reaction and realized that he was not acting. “When was the last time you got in touch with that girl?” Jun rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, “Probably a year or two ago! She was about to get married, and she got in touch with all her old classmates. She got my number and invited me to her wedding… That’s clearly her trying to scam a wedding gift out of me, right? Do I look that stupid?”
Avery was stunned as she had not predicted that to be the story behind the number.
“I mean I can easily afford a gift that cost a few thousand dollars, but that doesn’t mean I want to get her that gift! If I spend money on that and Tammy finds out, she is definitely going to get mad. I know that temper of hers.” An evil smile appeared on Jun’s face. “Which is why when she invited me to her wedding, I asked to borrow money from her instead.” 1
Avery did not know how to respond to how he had gotten out of going to the wedding. “I was trying to start a business back then, so I was in need of money. She just stopped replying after she saw my message.” Jun sighed DYCO}WDV continued, “I wonder if she blocked me.”
Avery was not sure whether she should laugh or cry. “Tammy told you to confront me over this?” Jun suddenly switched to a more serious tone.
“I did this on my own. She doesn’t even dare to ask you about it. She said that she is worried you would blame her for going through your stuff. Go home and communicate with her. Be sure not to blame her for it.” “Oh, I get it! Thanks, Avery! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even know that she’s been that upset over this!”
In the evening at Starry River Villa, a black Rolls-Roice drove into the front yard.
“Mommy, why is Dad here?” Layla noticed the familiar car and asked in confusion, “I thought you said that he is not coming here today?” 1 Avery remembered that they had agreed that she would be going to his house. “Maybe he has something he needs!” Avery stepped outside after answering her daughter’s question. Just then, Elliot had gotten out of the car and was rounding to the back car to take something from the trunk.
