Mike was standing outside the guest room door. He initially heard them fighting intensely. He hesitated for a bit as to whether he should enter the room and help Avery.
However, the argument lasted for less than two minutes and it was silent once more.
A moment later, the guest room door opened and they came out.
"Are you done?" Mike scratched his head." So quick?"
"Mike, we'll head back first." Avery looked like she had calmed down, but her bloodshot eyes looked serious.
"Oh, you guys are changing to a different arena to fight?" Mike followed them and headed out. "Avery, don't get brainwashed by him. You are a modern woman. You must stand your ground. You cannot bear such a thing. No matter how he begs you, you cannot swallow your pride! I understand men. If you were to bear with him this time, he will repeat the mistake the next time again."
Avery heard Mike's nagging. She was extremely moved.
"Come over for dinner tonight! Lilith is back at noon." Avery changed into a lighter topic.
Mike replied, "Oh, sure! Is it your place or Elliot's?"
"We're spending the New Year's at his place." "Okay! I'll see what I'm doing tonight. If I'm free. I'll head over." Mike sent them off.
Elliot followed Avery into one car. The driver drove the other car.
After both cars left, Mike sent Avery a message, [What did you two talk about? Are you letting him go just like that?]
Avery only replied when she returned home. [We'll celebrate the new year first. We'll talk about it later ]
Mike: [You're right. It's still the new year! I'm so sorry for you! There are a few more days left!]
Avery: [He doesn't want to split up.]
Mike: [I knew it. If he were to split up with you, the three children won't follow him. He already wants Ruby's child, what more your three children! He is just cruel to women. He only wants their children!]
Avery: [I'm a little sleepy. I'll go have some
"Yes! My clothes are in my backpack. This luggage is filled with gifts for all of you."
Adrian came over too.
When Lilith saw him, she immediately yelled at him, "Adrian! I bought gifts for you!"
"You not calling me an idiot is the best gift. " Adrian smiled demurely.
"My internal reflexes wanted to call you an idiot, but there are so many people around, so I held back. I will surely give you face!" She took a box out and passed it to him. " This is a drawing board, used for painting. When you're bored, you can use it."
Adrian accepted the gift. He was a little worried he did not know how to use it.
"I'll send you some tutorials. You can watch the videos and learn. If you don't know, I'll think of another way for you," Lilith asked, "Do you like it? "
Adrian nodded shyly, "Yes."
