Chapter 451 “I’m going to find Avery.”
‘So scary! This is terrifying!’ Jun thought. He had not been there to watch Avery and Elliot fight one another the time before, but his heart still cringed at how long Elliot had to remain in the ICU ward afterward; yet now, Elliot wanted to go look for Avery again, when their last conflict was not even resolved. Was Elliot trying to make the same mistake?
Jun was terrified. Unable to stop Elliot, he ran to find Ben and25 Tammy.
“He had only had one bottle,” Ben analyzed the situation calmly, “he can’t be that drunk.”
“But Avery doesn’t want to see him!” Tammy retorted anxiously, “Avery told me this herself! No way, I need to stop9c him!”
With that, Tammy tried to head upstairs to stop Elliot. Jun and Ben grabbed onto each one of her arms and stopped her.
“Relax, Tammy. I’ll go up to check on them.” Ben was concerned that if he let Tammy go up, everyone in the mansion would become aware of what was happening. Elliot had embarrassed himself once, so Ben wanted to preserve some of his friend’s23 pride.

Avery came out of the shower in a white sleeping gown.
She had slept for most of the day and had a hearty dinner, so she felt energetic after the shower; hence, she did not suspect her own eyes or thought of it as hallucination when she saw Elliot before 35 her.
Elliot strode towards her and stared down at her. “You are on a diet for Eric?”

She understood every single word he said, but still felt that it was absurd for him to say that she was on a diet because of Eric.
‘What kind of mind would come up with such an idea? Do I have to go on a diet only because of some guy? Besides, I won’t have to lose weight if I really want to be together with Eris, since he never once said that I was fat to begin with!’ She thought.
“Elliot, have you been drinking?” She scowled at the scent of alcohol on him. “Have you even
recovered? If you drink now… Do you not want to recover at all?”.
“Why aren’t you answering my question?” He swallowed as his patience ran out. “You don’t get to say that when you look like a ghost yourself.”
‘A ghost? How dare he call me that!’ She thought.
Avery didn’t want to argue with him, as she was the one who caused the accident from last time, but Elliot’s words were simply far too provoking.
“Who I am on a diet for is none of your business.” Avery pointed at the door and commanded sternly, “get out!”
Elliot’s rage was instantly ignited at the sight of her affectionless expression.
“Does he know about us?” He asked in an evil and rude tone, “would he still want to be in a relationship with you if he finds out that we are sleeping together?”
