Chapter 134 Avery felt Elliot’s body stiffen next to her.
His outfit had taken a few years off, however, people still wound up treating him like an older person.
It must have bothered him.
“I’m Avery’s,”
Elliot began to speak, but Avery interrupted him by grabbing his hand, then explained, “I don’ t know this guy. It’s cold out here. Let’s head to the car!”
At the same time, Tammy pulled the male student out of their way.
Avery threw Tammy a look of gratitude, then helped Elliot back to the black Rolls-Roice.
“Your legs haven’t fully recovered,” she said in a concerned voice. “You shouldn’t be walking around like this.”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Elliot said.
His eyes landed on the bouquet of flowers in Avery’s hand.
“There’s a gift in the bouquet,” he said awkwardly.
“What?” Avery said as she stared at Elliot in shock. “You got me a gift? I didn’t get you anything, though.”
The air around them turned thick with uneasiness.
They had spent the past week sitting at home.
How did he find the time to prepare a gift for her if he never left the house?
Elliot opened the door to the backseat of the car and let Avery in first.
“I didn’t ask for anything in return.”
His deep, sultry voice made Avery’s heart skip a beat.
•In the car, she sifted through the flowers and found a small, pink jewelry box.
She opened it up, revealing the diamond necklace inside it.
It was a simple design, but the diamond itself… was huge.
Once Elliot sat down next to her, she could not help but tease him.
“I never thought you were much of a showoff before, but why do you have such tacky taste?”
“You don’t like it?” Elliot asked as he locked eyes with Avery. “What style do you like?”
He assumed all women loved diamonds, and the bigger the diamond, the better.
Avery took out the necklace, placed it in her palm, and said, “Don’t you think the diamond’s a little too big? Larger cuts like this can make me look bulky.”
Elliot stared at her dainty, little hand and did not agree with her at all.
