Back at Starry River Villa, Avery saw Mike coming into the living room with her and immediately said, "You can go! I'l stay here for a while to clean the place." "I'll call you again at noon," Mike said, then he walked out.
After he got in the car, he dialed Tammy's number.

"Is she alright?" Tammy could sense from Mike's tone that things were not simple as they seemed.
"It's a long story. She might tell you everything when you meet her later!" "Did she argue with Elliot? She senta message yesterday, saying that Elliot didn't reply to her message." Tammy said." It's not because of that, is it?" "It kinda is! She says she wants speace and quiet now, so just give her a call later.” "Okay- After ending the call, Tammy immediately grabbed a fresh set of clothes from the closet and changed into them. She dressed up quickly and dialed Jun's number.
"Darling, did you catch wind about any arguments between Elliot and Avery?" Jun was in a meeting when he received her call, so he cout of the conference room to answer.
"What happened to the two of them? | didn't hear anything like that!" "| asked you because | didn't know anything, but never mind then." Tammy was about to hang up.
"You're close with Avery, so you should check up on her." "I will. But I'm guessing Elliot is the one who's causing trouble. Avery toldthat he didn't reply to her messages and | even teased her at the time!" Tammy explained.” You should find a tand try to ask around.” When Tammy drove to Starry River Villa, she pressed the doorbell at the gate of the courtyard.

The courtyard door opened and Tammy entered. She looked at Avery and said, "Are you planning to move back here?" Avery was wearing plastic gloves and a waterproof apron, which made it obvious that she was cleaning at home.
"The house is dusty. I'm here to clean up a bit," she said. "Why are you here? Did Mike tell you what happened?" "Yeah. | wanted to pretend that | didn't know anything ;c+:YNX> call you by coincidence to suggest that we hang out, but that would've been so fake," Tammy went straight to the point. "Don't do this kind of rough work. Leave it to the housekeeper.” "I can't stop thinking about everything if | just stay still. Doing something will take my mind off the pain." She entered the living room and took off her gloves. "I think | might lose Elliot." "Don't be such a pessimist. You and Elliot have gone through so much anyway, and you have three children too. He wouldn't break up with you unless his brain short-circuits," Tammy said firmly.
"What feels impossible is usually the most likely to happen, and the people whom you think you'll never lose are always the easiest to lose." Avery glanced at the house with a lonely expression. "I decided to clean the house because | feel like I'm going to move back in soon." "Are you just going to accept it if he says he wants to break up with you?" Tammy asked.
"If he decides to let go, everything | do will be useless." Her eyes were red and she spoke in a forlorn tone. "I understand him." "Did he say he wanted to break up?" Tammy panicked and her heart was feeling a strong pressure. "What about the children? He won't fight with you for custody of the children, right?" Avery shook her head. "There hasn't been any news from him since yesterday. He might be weighing the trade-offs." Tammy sighed heavily. "He might not necessarily break up with you even if he's making those considerations, Avery!" "I have a very strong hunch.” "Then could you predict the winning numbers of the lottery?" Tammy then reassured her, "Don't frighten yourself, Avery. Besides, even if he really wanted to break up with you, he wouldn't have the dignity to fight with you for the children's custody. As long as you have the children, you'll be able to overcanything that life throws at you. You said it yourself that the children cfirst.” "The reason I'm feeling so distressed is because | may have hurt him. | never wanted to hurt him..." "Can you tellwhat happened?” Tammy asked.
