Chapter 1016
At noon, Avery had finished work and drove to meet up with Tammy. It was the second time Tammy had an appointment for a therapy session and she appeared to be much more relaxed compared to the last time. “Maybe it’s because Chelsea is dead now that I don’t feel as much resentment within me,” Tammy said casually as she sipped on her coffee, “My psychiatrist told me not to feel inferior because guilt is something that the person who committed wrong should feel.” “Of course. Did you mention that you want a manicure? Let’s go to a nail salon later! I want to get my nails painted.” Avery switched to a more casual topic.
Tammy scanned her up and down and asked, “Since when have you started caring so much about your appearance? You are even wearing a necklace today. I dare say you are not wearing it for me, right? Do you have a date with Elliot later?”

Avery couldn’t help her smile. “He’s so busy that he barely has the time to eat these days. How could he possibly make time for a date? I’ve never thought that weddings would be this complicated.”
“That’s because he doesn’t have his parents to help organize,” Tammy pointed out, “Just consider my wedding with Jun. Apart from the menu and guest list, we didn’t really have to worry about anything else. Usually when a couple gets married, their parents are the ones making all the arrangements. Sadly for the two of you, neither one of you have your parents to rely on.”
Avery was instantly overwhelmed by sorrow at the topic.
“Elliot was drunk the night before because of this.” Avery took a deep breath and her lashes trembled as she continued, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, I really miss my mom. If she’s still alive, she would be so happy to see me marrying Elliot and that we have another child together.”
“Of course, Auntie would be happy for you. Do you miss your dad?” Tammy asked casually. Tate Industries was built from scratch by Jack, and after declaring bankruptcy, it was rebuilt by Avery on her own; though it was wrong of him to cheat, but he had corrected his wrong by leaving all that he owned to Avery before his death. Avery remained thoughtful for a few moments BXD5{qGR shook her head. “Not really, because the damage he caused my mom was too great. If only he hadn’t married Wanda, all the tragedy in our household would have never happened. I might have made a lot of money with the microchip he left me, but even without running the business, I would have been able to live my life just fine.” “I understand you. I wouldn’t be able to accept it if my father cheated. Luckily, my parents are still close and I haven’t seen them fight at all for many years now,” Tammy said in amazement, “Maybe I’m this fragile because they did such a great job at protecting me. Avery, I thought about it before and if you went through what I went through, you’ve probably overcome it by now.”
