Chapter 289
“I’ll still be happy!
My exand I are still good friends!”
Avery was speechless.
“Avery, who knows.
Maybe they would get married,” Tammy continu ed, “Rosalie likes Zoe a lot. Also, Elliot seemed to have come to his senses. Jun and I are speculating that if Shea’s second operation is a success by New Year’s,he will defin itely marry Zoe.
” Avery said calmly, “Iwish them all the best.”
“You have to look ahead too!” Tammy was worried for Avery.
“You’re still young.
Your mom can help you take care of your two kids. Also, they are already in school, so you don’t have to worry about them too much.
You can start enjoying life.”
“Iwill enjoy it,” Avery said with a smile.
“Can you stop looking at me with pity?
It’s not illegal to be single, right?”
“Don’t overthink it.
I think you just have toomuch time on your hands.
Why don’t you plan your wedding?!” “Ihave two children, how am I going to be your bridesmaid?”
“Whoever said that a divorcee who has children can’t be a bridesmaid?
I will make whoever I want my bridesmaid,” Tammy said.
“This is perfect.
Your children can be my page boyand flower girl.”
Avery did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Her phone rang.
She immediately picked up her phone and saw that it was from Officer Boyd.
She immediately answered the call.
“Miss Tate, James Worsley decide to appeal.
I just got the latest arrangement from the supreme court.
His case will only be heard in court next year, so have a good New Year’s.”
“Okay, thank you!”
“Don’t worry.
His appeal is just him trying to delay the outcome.
The outcome will not change.
“Hmm, I have faith in our justice system.”
That evening, Avery returned home with an assortment of bags.
The moment she entered, her two children immediately came over and took her shopping bags from her “Mommy, what did you buy?
The next time you go shopping with Aunt Tarnm y can you take me along?”
Layla was already on winter break.
“It’s cold outside.
You’ll freeze to death.”
Aver y caressed her daughter’s head.
“Iwon’t!
I’ll wear a beanie and a mask!”
Layla took out the newclothes and shoes from the shopping bag. Gradua lly, delight replaced her dissatisfaction.
Laura came over and said to Aver y, “Your Uncle Ronis asking us to go back for New Year’s. If you don’t want to go, I’ll go alone.”
“Let me ask Mike i fheis going back to Bridgedale.”
“I’ve asked him. He said he is staying.
He doesn’t ce lebrate the New Year’s in Bridgedale,” Laura said.
“Oh, then why don’t you go see Uncle Ronon your own?
If you wantt o take the kids along too, Laura shook her head.
“I’m not taking the kids with me.
They know that you have money now, which was why they contacted me.
While I was abroad, not once did they contact me.
They didn’t even inform me when your grandmother passed away.”
“Why not just stay here?”
Avery felt sadwhen she saw her mother’s disappointment.
“Ihave to go.
I need to visit your grandmother’s grave.”
Avery hugged her mother.
“Mom, you have to take good care of yourself.
If not, I won’t have any close family with me anymore.”
“What nonsense!
Even if I pass on,you still have your children!
” “It’s different.
I can be cheeky with you.
I can’t do that with my kids?”
Avery took a deep breath.
After dinner, the two children were playing in the living area with Mike.
Avery was on her phone when she came across a news article.
