Chapter 900 The gentle voice of a man came through the phone. “Avery.” Avery immediately recognized the voice. “Adrian!” She had not expected Adrian to call her. “Is this your number, or are you calling me with your family member’s phone?”
“My elder brother bought me a phone,” Adrian said, “He bought it for me because I said that I wanted to call you.” Avery chuckled. “Have you been discharged? How are you feeling?” “I-“Before Adrian could finish, a rough voice of a middle-aged man interrupted him. “It’s late, Adrian, why aren’t you sleeping? Who are you talking to? The doctor said you need rest.” It was Adrian’s father. “Give me your phone. I will give it back tomorrow.”
Shortly after, the call ended.
Avery scowled at her phone after they hung up. Although Adrian was ill, it had been days since his surgery and he was not a child anymore; she was surprised that his father would not give him the freedom to make a phone call. Adrian’s father made it appear as though he was doing it for Adrian’s own good, but in truth, he was just trying to take full control over Adrian. Rage boiled within Avery, but she was helpless in this regard. Thankfully, she had obtained his contact, and judging from his voice, Adrian was doing much better compared to a few days ago.

In the evening, Avery drove home and saw Chad there as well. She was immediately reminded of what she heard about Elliot from Shaun earlier that day as soon as she spotted Chad.
“Chad,” Avery leaned closer to him and lowered her voice, “Did Elliot answer my call on speakerphone yesterday?” “Yeah. He didn’t do it on purpose, though the secretary spilled coffee on his phone and the screen got a little slippery,” Chad said. Avery tensed at the confirmation. “Doesn’t that mean he’s embarrasseded himself?” Chad nodded. “He sure did! From yesterday up until now, everyone in the company has been talking about that. Mr. Foster might appear like he doesn’t care, but I think he is quite upset about it. His image to all his employees has been destroyed.” “I didn’t know that he was on speakerphone,” Avery explainedie awkwardly. “It’s fine. Mr. Foster isn’t alone; you’ve embarrassed yourself as well,” Chad consoled, “Not only have the others been talking about Mr. Foster, they have been talking about you as well.”.

“What are you two talking about? Come eat!” Mike walked over and wrapped his arm around
Chad’s shoulders, before looking over at Avery. “Chad didn’t dare to come when I first called him here for dinner today, Avery. He thought that you were still mad about what happened last weekend. Hahaha! I told him that you act petty when you are with Elliot, but are quite forgiving to practically anyone else. Now he ought to believe me!” Avery glared at him. “I can tolerate that you are speaking ill of me behind my back, but can you not repeat what you said in front of me all over18 again?”
