"I get it!" Cole hung up.Avery held onto her phone and sighed heavily, hoping that Cole and Henry would come to their senses; if Elliot got involved in this, there was no predicting how the situation would escalate.She feared that the peacefulness in the present would disappear if the situation got out of hand; it took so much effort for them to overcome the torture they had been through on the day of their wedding and it had only been barely two weeks since they finally settled down. How could the gods be so cruel to them?She didn't know how long it had been by the time Elliot came outside to look for her.He scowled when he spotted her squatting at the corner of the yard."Avery, why are you squatting? Mrs. Cooper said you came outside to call Mike, why did it take so long?" He helped her up and continued, "Did you get into an argument with Mike?"She immediately clung to him and in a hoarse voice, she said, "Elliot, I feel a bit depressed.""Because we moved?" He cupped he

If possible, she wished that their lives could continue to be as peaceful and wonderful as it had been. Though Elliot was a sensitive and skeptical man, he was also very easy to please and would usually forgive her as soon as she set her ego aside to apologize.When he came out of the shower, she pulled him towards the bed despite the dark expression on his face and the anger in his eyes. Once he lay down, she turned off the lights and said, "Hubby, I...""Who's more important, Adrian or me?" He interrupted her."Of course you." She held onto him tight and took his familiar scent in. "I just want to do the best that I can. Adrian is Shea's brother, after all. I promise that I won't let this affect our lives.""It already did," he said, "You said that you are upset. Do you think I can be in a good mood when you are sad?""I promise I won't let it get to me again." She leaned towards his cheek and planted a kiss on his face. "You need to attend the parents' meeting tomorrow and you

He continued to message Avery. 'Ms. Brown said she sent you a message last night about having me give a speech on stage today. Why didn't you tell me? I didn't prepare anything. What am I supposed to say later?''We got into an argument, so we went to sleep early. I only noticed her message this morning.''What should I say later?''Whatever you feel like saying!''I can't think of anything.' It was the first time Elliot had attended a parents' meeting and he had no past experience to refer to; if it was a company meeting and he was asked to say whatever he felt like saying, he wouldn't be as troubled as he was at the moment.'Just give your gratitude to the teachers and thank them, then encourage the parents to work together and assist the teachers to educate their children...''Don't you think that's too corny? I hate saying things that sound rich but mean nothing in truth.''Then go brainstorm on your own! You can get started on a draft now.'Elliot replied to her with a mot

"I've only stopped eating spicy food since we got together. You don't eat spicy food, so my preferences kind of changed as well," she complained, "Before we started dating, I was really good at stomaching spicy food.""Fine, let's get both flavors." Touched, Elliot decided to go along with it.In a rented apartment, Cole spent all morning on his phone, hoping that Avery would contact him again.He had thought that Avery was a sentimental woman and that she would definitely compromise when dealing with Shea's condition; however, Avery had not gotten in touch with him since she hung up on him early in the morning."I read her wrong!" Cole gritted out, "Has she given up on saving my aunt? What a ruthless woman she is!"Henry was making tea and felt unsettled. He had wavered the night before because accepting Tate Industries and selling it meant that they would obtain a great sum of money and avoid facing Elliot directly. The two of them could leave Aryadelle and live the rest of thei

Avery had thought it through. Back then, Shea sacrificed her life to save Robert. Her love for Robert came from her love for Elliot.Her love for Elliot was no less than Avery's love for Elliot.If Shea was conscious at that moment, she would not be willing to let Elliot be threatened by Henry and Cole.After lunch, Avery held Elliot's hands and led him out of the restaurant."Elliot, let's take a walk!" "Hmm. What do you usually do when you go shopping with Tammy?" Elliot asked curiously.Avery often shopped with Tammy until the evening before returning home."Sometimes, she gets her hair done, or a manicure. It takes time. Other than that, we would be either shopping or eating. Tammy loves buying handbags. She has a few rooms at home just to store them."Elliot said, "Compared to Tammy, you seem as if you don't have many desires.""I do have desires. I keep you close to me, isn't that a big enough desire?"Elliot felt great about that. He held her hand. "Let's go get yo
