Avery was a little stunned.Elliot did not reply to her question? When Elliot reached his arm over, about to hug her, she pushed him away. "Why didn't you answer my question? Can you do it or not? If you can't, don't hug me."The request she made was not at all too much to ask for.All she asked was that he spends more time with the children whenever he was free. If she could do it, why could he not?If he could not do such a simple thing, he should not have children at all."They are my children. Of course, I'm willing to do anything for them." Elliot hugged her around the waist tightly. "Your questions made me feel guilty."Hearing his explanations, Avery let out a sigh of relief."Elliot, next time when I ask you a question, no matter what question is it, you have to answer me." Avery looked at him seriously. "If you don't, my mind goes wild. To others, I can be calm and logical, but to you, I lose control of my emotions easily.""Hmm." Elliot did not dare to look her in t
"Even if he doesn't understand, won't you be shy?""If I'm shy, would he be born?" His retort made Avery blush. She put on her clothes and quickly entered the washroom.Downstairs, Tammy and Layla were munching on snacks and chatting."Does your father not want me around? After I have arrived, he doesn't even come out," Tammy teased.Layla immediately shook her head. "Of course, Daddy welcomes you. He must be in Mommy's room watching her sleep!"Tammy said, "What is there to see? Won't he be afraid that he would wake your Mommy up?"Layla scratched her head, trying to think of a retort for Elliot.At that moment, Avery walked over."Tammy, since when did you come? I had too much fun last night, so I overslept." She walked over to Tammy and explained."All you did was just see fireworks. Why are you so tired?" Tammy looked at her interestingly. "What's going on with Elliot? Why is he avoiding me?""He said that he was afraid you might be unhappy seeing him, so he's in the room
Mrs. Scarlet immediately brought some water for him. Avery reached out to pat Elliot on the back. "Eat slower. Did you choke?"Tammy looked at Elliot suspiciously. She found him strange. Her woman's sixth sense tells her to ask him, "Elliot, I find you shifty. Did you connect Jun with his fiancee?"When Tammy asked this, Avery immediately retracted her hands from Elliot's back.Elliot was halfway drinking water, because of this question, he was forced to stop.He forcefully swallowed and denied, "No…I do not know his fiancee.""Oh, then why are you so worked up?" Tammy harrumphed and looked at Avery. "If Elliot were to get married to another woman, of course, I won't be calm! It would be respectful enough of me to not crash his wedding!"Avery nodded. "I know, so I don't think I could also see Jun getting married to another woman. Tammy, forgive me!""Jun and Elliot are different," Tammy said, "I was the one that dumped Jun, which was why he got married to another woman. I don
"Shall we take the children?" Elliot asked.Avery looked at Elliot and asked, "Do you want to take the children?"She could not understand him."I do." Although carrying them was not easy, it was joyous to spend time with them. No wonder people said that children were a sweet burden."But I don't want to take the children along today. I want to take you to a place." Avery said."Where are we going?" He put his hands in his pocket. "We have to tell the children, right! If they don't want to come with us, we don't have to bring them, but what if they do?""Let's go to my college. Wait for me here. I'll go tell the children," Avery said and headed to their room. A moment later, she walked quickly back to him and held his arm. "Layla wants us to bring good food back for her. Let's go!"Avery drove and brought Elliot to her college. Her college was a world-famous medical school."When you came here to study, you were quite late in your pregnancy, right?" Elliot walked next to her on
Avery looked at the shimmery diamond ring on her hand. Her eyes turned wet. She could not control her emotions. She ran into his arms and hugged him tightly."Since when did you buy the ring? We have been together every day. I didn't realize that you prepared a gift beforehand."Avery thought that he did not know that it was Valentine's Day that day. From morning until the moment that she reminded him that it was Valentine's Day, he did not look strange or behave out of the ordinary."When I bought the necklace for you, I had a look at the rings too," Elliot explained, "It's hard to not know what today is."A few days ago, Valentine's Day promotions started taking place. This morning, all news regarding Valentine's Day was pushed to his phone."If I didn't mention Valentine's Day just now, when were you planning to give me the ring?" Avery let go of him. She looked at his handsome face with reddened eyes.Elliot looked at her affectionately. He said in a hoarse voice, "I know tha
"Ben! My mother is a little demented! Don't tell others about what she said just now!" Chad was almost losing it. "If Mr. Foster hears about this, he will surely fire me!"Ben was laughing so hard tears fell. "Chad, don't get too worked up. Aunt Tanya's mind is clear. She objects to you being together with Mike because she despises him for being poor. Get Mike to earn more money. It will be fine."Chad shook his head. "My mom thinks that being friends with Mike is alright, but not as a partner because he looks like a dirtbag. This was what she said.""Hahaha! Yet you call her demented! I think your mom sees anyone better than anyone else. Don't fret about it. Just take care of her.""Hmm. Ben, are you free tonight? Can you help me go see Mike? I have ignored him for two days. I'm thinking he might be exploding soon." Chad furrowed his brows. "I can't leave the hospital yet and I also don't know what to say to him.""Don't worry, I'll go check up on him."Ben came out of the hospi
Ben drew a sharp breath.He held back his anger, grabbed onto Chelsea's collar, and roared, "Chelsea Tierney! What the h*ll are you talking about?! Why would Elliot marry you? He's with Avery now! If he had to marry anyone, it would be her!"Chelsea let out a light chuckle. "I know he's with Avery. They have children to take care of, after all. I don't mind. If I can't have his heart, I'd be more than happy to have his body."Ben laughed coldly, released his grip on her, then said, "You must have been traumatized from getting disfigured. You're delusional! If Elliot really wanted to marry you, why wouldn't I know about something that important?""It's not like you're the one he's marrying. Isn't it normal for you not to know?" Chelsea placed her empty glass on the table as she remained calm and said, "I'm only telling you about this because I see you as a friend, Ben. I know you don't want to be my friend, but to me, you're the most important…""Shut up!" Ben cut her off. "Are you
"My sleeping pills, too," Elliot said through bloodshot eyes."Is your insomnia that bad?" Avery ruffled her disheveled hair. "How did you sleep last night? What about the night before? Don't tell me you haven't gotten a good night's sleep at all?"As she spoke, she pulled back the covers and got out of bed.Since Elliot could not sleep without his pills, then she had to go buy some got him."It started last night." Elliot did not want Avery to worry, so he said casually, "It's probably because I've been so happy the past couple of days that I keep thinking about Shea.""I know Shea's passing was a huge blow to you, but we need to move forward in life. If Shea was still a live, she wouldn't want you to be sad." Avery put on her coat, then said, "Do you remember the name of the pills you take? Or should I follow my own judgement?""I'll go with you," Elliot said as he got out of bed."It's fine. Lie back down," Avery said as she pushed him back down on his back. "The drugstores w
