"You guys should never say such a thing in front of Avery." Lilith felt that Avery was under a lot of pressure. "She didn't even return together with Elliot, so she certainly must be more anxious about this than anybody else.""I haven't been in contact with her since I returned to the country. I know that she's busy, so I didn't dare to disturb her," said Ben, then he looked at Elliot. "Elliot, I feel that you're having quite a good mental state now. In comparison to a while ago, you look like you have put on a little weight as well. Avery has been taking quite good care of you!"Lilith said, "Did he put on a little weight? I feel that he is much thinner than before.""That's because you haven't seen how he looked when Avery had just brought him back. He was extremely thin at that time and just looked a little scary," Ben exaggerated, "I didn't dare to tell you back then as I was afraid that you'll be heartbroken."Lilith felt a lump in her throat. "Alright. Elliot is back now.

"Tammy, there's no need for you to poke fun at Elliot. He has escaped death by a hair's breadth, so his mindset certainly has changed. Also, I feel the reason Elliot didn't sweet talk Avery certainly is that he does more."Everyone looked toward him."Oh… I mean Elliot is a man of action. He must have taken good care of Avery. Otherwise, could Avery be so devoted to him?" said Jun. He then picked up his daughter, Tiffany, as he wanted to bring her to the kitchen to have some food.Tiffany huffed and pushed him away."I don't want to play with you! I want to play with Layla, Robert, and Kiara!"Jun was a little saddened after his daughter rejected him.At that moment, Elliot's bodyguard walked in while carrying Elliot's luggage.Elliot took the bag from his bodyguard and opened it up.It was filled with presents.The four children immediately surrounded the bag."Hmph! I think you just want to get some presents!" Jun could not help but laugh when he saw his daughter putting bo

Avery said, "Didn't you say that you didn't have the time to take your phone out since you landed? How did you hear that Dean has been discharged?"Elliot said, "When you video-called me, the text from Chad happened to pop up. I happened to see that sentence.""Is it so coincidental?""Mm-hmm. It's really a coincidence. Could you be thinking that I didn't contact you after I got off the plane but I contacted someone else?" Elliot could already sense her jealousy through the phone."Alright. I'll believe you then," Avery said while leaning against the headboard. "I won't attend Angela's funeral. Don't worry.""Mm-hmm. Layla and Robert have grown up a little.""Our children are not the only ones who have grown up, I saw that Tiffany and Kiara have grown up as well." Avery smiled "We've also grown older!""As long as we're still young at heart, we won't be old." Elliot did not want to admit that he has gotten older, much less admit that Avery has gotten older.Just like how no mat

It was unexpected that Dean was discharged from the hospital so soon after Dean was cheated out of 2.1 billion.Logically speaking, he should have been so pissed that he became dizzy and his blood pressure skyrocketed.Avery felt that the development of this matter was not quite rightAfter she glanced at the news, she opened the messaging app and saw that Elliot had sent a few photos to her.There were photos that Elliot had taken together with their two children.Their smiles were radiant and wonderful. The corner of Avery's lips subconsciously turned into a smile when she looked at the photos.How she wished to return to their side immediately and spend her life together with them."Mom, what are you looking at?" Hayden walked over to have breakfast and saw that his mother was smiling, so he just asked in passing. Avery immediately showed Hayden the photos on her phone. "Your father has arrived home. These are the photos that he had sent over."Hayden glanced at the photos

Dean used Angela's funeral to send invitations to the people in her team through the media in hopes that they would come and bid a final farewell to Angela.Actually, he was emotionally blackmailing them.However, it was fine by him as long as his final objective was achieved."Mr. Jennings, I'm sorry for being late," said the man in the car."Liam, right? The funeral is going to end soon. You're here, which shows your sincerity, and that's enough. Let's just have a chat in private!" Dean said to Liam happily."Mr. Jennings, I'm not here on my own." Liam took out a big flower basket from the side. "This is the flower basket that all the other members of our research team had asked me to buy.""Good, good, good! I'll ask my bodyguard to bring it in," said Dean. He accepted the flower basket from Liam and handed it to his bodyguard. "Liam, let's find a quiet place to talk!"Liam gave it a thought and then he got out of the car.After the memorial service, Angela and Mary's remain

"I was just telling Sebastian about this earlier! I thought you were planning to have fun on your own and not take me with you. It looks like my thinking was too narrow! I'll down three drinks later as my punishment!"…As Sebastian watched his father sit at a table harmoniously next to Stanley, he started thinking quickly.His father looked like he was really happy.What exactly had he gone to do just now?What had happened? Could it be that he had gotten another bargaining chip?Sebastian quickly walked over and sat down next to his father.Since there were too many people around them at the banquet, they did not talk shop.After the banquet ended, his father and Stanley went into a private room to have a chat. Sebastian could not follow them, so he had no choice but to look for his father's bodyguard to inquire about the situation."What did you do with my father just now? Did you guys meet someone?"If his father had not gone into a private room with Stanley, he would hav

Avery was in a daze, and her chest tightened. "What way?""Guess it yourself." Sebastian kept her guessing. "Avery, I won't tell you everything about the Jennings family anymore. You should understand that my fate is inextricably linked with my family's.""Hmm. You're the second son of the Jennings family, after all. I understand that you're on your father's side.""I feel like you're mocking me.""Sebastian, don't overthink this. I'm not thinking that. Even if you say that you're indifferent toward your father, blood is thicker than water, after all. You're also your family's only heir. Most people would make the same decision you are," said Avery very calmly, while secretly thinking about what bargaining chip Dean had obtained now."I also want to rely on myself to live just like you and Elliot, but reality is just too bleak. If I were to leave the Jennings family, I don't know how I would live.""Hmm… Sebastian, you're not the same as your father. If you're the person to take

Hanging up on Sebastian, Avery picked up Eric's call."Avery, you're in Bridgedale now, right? Have you eaten? I'll buy you a meal." Eric was currently standing barefoot on a soft wool rug by the floor-to-ceiling window, talking to her.He had reached Bridgedale a short while ago. The moment he had free time, he thought of asking her out."I've already eaten. Are you here for work or on a holiday?" Avery asked."Holiday. I could use up to two years' worth of holidays. I could have at least two months off." Eric chuckled happily. "I initially did not want to come over, but, since you're here, I did.""But I'm busy," Avery said truthfully. "I'm sure you've heard about Elliot's incident?""Hmm… I've heard about it. I even asked doctors that I'm close to about it. They told me that Elliot's incident is absurd. It's so absurd, they could hire playwrights to write it into a film."Avery could not help but smile. "It is indeed quite absurd, but that special device is indeed in Elliot's
