Elliot let out a muffled harrumph. Avery did not know whether it was in response to her, or he was in pain.There was some shuffling coming from the door.Elliot looked over to see Mrs. Cooper carrying Robert while Mike carried Layla. Four of them stood outside the door, peeking into the room to check out the situation.They could actually just enter the room to have a look. Eliot did not know why they had to stand outside the door.Although it was a little embarrassing that there was a huge bump on his head, it was not that awkward that he did not dare to see anyone.Avery dressed for his bruise and kept her medical suitcase."Go have breakfast. After breakfast, I'll take you to the hospital," Avery said."I'll head there myself.""Are you familiar with the hospital here?" Avery retorted, "I know people. We can go straight to do the scan. If not, if you wait for the hospital's procedure, you might not be able to do it today."Elliot was speechless.Although he was rich, he w
Avery heard Elliot's tone. It did not sit well with her."Elliot, do all men think like you? Why would Tammy want a divorce, don't you know why? If Tammy doesn't love him, she doesn't have to worry about him being pressured by his parents…""Avery, if Jun insists on being together with Tammy, no matter who pressures him, this is something that he has thought about and feels that he could bear it. Now, whether it's Jun changing numbers or him getting married, it's his freedom."…The two of them did not argue over their own matter, but they fought because of Jun and Tammy.However, Avery soon calmed down quickly. She gave Elliot's words serious thought. After some thinking, she thought that what Elliot said made sense too."Why does everyone like to think from their own standpoint and do things that they think are good for the other party when it's actually not?" Avery lamented."Because they think that they are right," Elliot replied. "This not only applies to Jun and Tammy but
"Elliot," Avery called him when she saw his darkened expressions. She immediately said, "It's the New Year. You don't have to argue just on small matters."He slightly calmed down upon hearing what she said.Eric said, "I have been giving Avery gifts every festivity, other than giving her a ring, I have given her every other type of jewelry. You usually don't care for her, now I'm just doing what I usually do, what right do you have to get angry?"Avery's impression of Eric was always a gentle one. At that moment, when he was questioning Elliot, she felt it rather strange.Of course, she did not get angry at Eric because of what he said. Eric was targeting Elliot because of her."So what?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. He said condescendingly, "Are you together with her already? If not, shut up."Eric was speechless because of this.It made Avery angry too."Elliot…""Are you going to drive or not? If not, I'll drive," Elliot interrupted her.He knew that Avery was going to sta
Elliot grabbed Avery's wrist and pulled her along into the mall without saying a word.Avery instantly understood his meaning."Elliot, I don’t want you to buy me gifts! I only want to go home right now!" Avery tried to break free from his clutch, but he held her tightly."Why did you not refuse Eric's gift?" Elliot retorted, "There is no reason for you to accept his gift but not mine."Avery thought that she had misheard him. How could he possibly say such childish things?When Eric saw Elliot forcing Avery along, he immediately pushed open the car door and ran over."Why are you following us?" Elliot looked at Eric in detest. "You're a big star, aren't afraid that others would recognize you? Don't you drag Avery and me down, lest the paparazzi take photos of us!"Eric retreated to the car because of what Elliot said. Eric was not worried about the paparazzi, but he knew that Avery did not like her photos being taken.After Eric returned to the car, Avery glanced at Elliot. "T
When they came out of the mall, Eric saw how they were standing closer to each other and seemed more relaxed. They looked like any other couple in the streets. When they entered the mall, they were still tugging around as if they were fighting. What made them reconcile so quickly was definitely not the gifts in the mall. If Elliot could resolve their conflict by giving Avery gifts, they would not fight all the time.It looked like Elliot gave in to Avery.When they returned to the mansion, Avery kept her gifts in her room. She never thought that Mrs. Cooper had already moved Elliot's things over."Didn't you say you were hungry? Go have some food first!" Elliot said."Hmm, I'll go pack up a little. Take my room tonight. I'll go to the small room.""If that's the case, I'll take the small room." Elliot did not want to take up her space. "This morning was an accident. I'll be careful in the future.""Are you threatening me?" Avery looked at the bruise on his forehead. "Are you
"Okay, if she doesn't want to come, don't force her," Avery said."Okay."As Avery expected. Tammy did not want to come, but it was not because Elliot was there. It was because of Eric.Tammy was a fan of Eric. She wanted to see him badly, but because she drank too much the night before and cried terribly in the night, her face was extremely puffy that day. Her eyes were reddened and puffy that she could barely open them. She could not see anyone under such conditions.After dinner, Avery sent Eric off. When she returned to the living area, she saw Elliot carrying Robert. This was the first time she saw Elliot carrying a child. She could see that he was a little nervous. His body was tense, especially his arms.Elliot was tall. He had slender limbs. Robert, on the other hand, was extremely small. Elliot was probably afraid that he might drop the child. "He knows I'm carrying him, but he is not crying at all." There was a hint of delight in his tone.Mrs. Cooper smiled and said,
Elliot swallowed his saliva and said confusedly, "He was crying just now, so I fed him some milk, but he puked after drinking. Did I do something wrong?"Avery understood and walked toward him. She looked at Robert. His mouth still had some white foam."Babies puke. Once he grows older, he will be fine.""But he didn't puke when you fed him in the afternoon." Elliot suspected that he did something wrong.He was not exaggerating, but when Robert finished the entire bottle of milk, he puked almost all of it out, which completely drenched his shirt.Seeing how sincere Elliot asked her, she analyzed the problem for him. "When you're making the milk, make sure that you don't let too much air enter the bottle. After Robert finishes drinking, he must be upright for a while. Sometimes, no matter how you pay attention to it, he will still puke. This isn't all your fault. He is at the age where he would just puke."Elliot let out a sigh of relief. "He puked almost all of the milk out. Will
"You just need to oversee the children, you don't need to do it all on your own," Elliot said before she fell asleep. He asked, "How is your recovery?"Avery had a cesarean section. Compared to natural birth, it was much more damaging to the body.Avery was suddenly awake due to Elliot's concerns. Why was he suddenly concerned about her recovery? Asking this at that moment was hard to not let overthink."Women can't have sex within three months of giving birth. This is common knowledge." Avery's tone tightened. "What nonsense are you thinking?" Elliot's breathing turned heavy. He said in a low voice, "I'm asking you how your recovery is. I never said anything about sleeping with you."Avery let out a sigh of relief. "It's going well!"Her nonchalant answer made him turn the lights on.Seeing the room lights turned on. It pierced her eyes. "What are you doing? Are you not tired because you slept in the afternoon? If you're not tired…"Elliot sat up and flipped her covers aside.
