"Where's my gift?" Elliot's hoarse voice rang out.His voice sounded soft, but it was penetrative. Those three words shocked Avery."Why did you lie to me?" Elliot looked at Avery's stunned face coldly.It was not as if he could not bear that she put him aside to go to the hospital to take care of Adrian, but it was more about the condition that she was honest with him."I'm sorry, Elliot," Avery took a deep breath. She tried to reach her hand out once again and grabbed his arm. "Don't stay under the rain. You'll catch a cold."He pushed her hand away once more."Where's that man?" Elliot's tone was cold and frigid. Under the rain, his expressions seemed even more miserable. "Why don't you continue staying in the hospital to take care of him?""He's asleep." Words seemed to get stuck in her throat. She explained, "He swallowed a whole bottle of antihypertensive drugs. He almost died. If he wasn't rescued in time he would have died.""It's best if he died!" Elliot's tone was har

"I don't want to go in. I'll stay here for as long as the time he spent waiting for me," Avery choked up.The server saw how thin she was. He was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he immediately arranged for someone to bring over a parasol.Then, the server brought a thick blanket over and placed it on her shoulder."Miss Tate, I have already informed the kitchen to serve the dishes. Why don't you have some food and then leave! You should go ask Mr. Foster for forgiveness rather than stay here."Soon, dishes after dishes of good food were served.When Avery saw the intricately made food on the table, she finally understood why Elliot would be so angry. She thought that the date that night was just another ordinary date. It was clearly not!He had invited a famous pianist to perform. There was also such a beautiful light show. The dinner was so intricate it was top-tier. How could it be a normal date?"Miss Tate, please uncover this dish on your own." The server pointed at t

Mrs. Scarlet hesitated for a while before turning around to get the key.If Elliot and Avery were not about to get married, she would never dare to get the key for Avery.Even though Elliot respected Mrs. Scarlet a lot, he did not treat her as a servant, but Mrs. Scarlet would not dare to do such a thing that crossed the line.If Mrs. Scarlet made a mistake that crossed Elliot's bottom line, Elliot would surely fire her.Mrs. Scarlet would only dare to take such a risk to give Avery the spare key because she was sure that Avery was the future mistress of the house.After Mrs. Scarlet passed Avery the key, she sized her up. "Avery, go take a shower. Don't catch a cold. I'll go get you some clothes."Avery held the key tightly in her hands. She glanced upstairs. She did not know what Elliot was doing at that moment. She did not know if she were to enter his room without permission, whether he would chase her out.At the same moment, in a different place, Henry and Cole were still

"Oh, you're right. How could my uncle be Nathan's son? Elliot…" At that, Cole went to take Nathan's photo and looked at it closely.The photo was a screenshot of the surveillance footage at the restaurant when he was with Henry the other day, so the photo was a little blurry. Only a rough facial feature could be seen."Dad, don't you think that Elliot does look quite a bit like Nathan?" Cole passed Nathan's photo to Henry. "If you don't think about it, you won't find them alike, but once you think about it, they do look quite alike."Henry looked at Nathan's photo for a while. His expressions froze on his face.Henry had never compared Elliot's looks with Nathan's before. Once he heard Cole mention it, he did feel that they looked alike."If Nathan has an especially amazing son that could rule over Aryadelle, why do I feel like Elliot has all the characteristics that he mentioned?" Cole said confusedly, "Other wealthy people don't look like Nathan at all. Only Elliot."Henry was

Avery sensed that Elliot must not have fallen asleep yet. He was so furious. How could he have fallen asleep?At that moment, when she entered his room, he must have heard her. She walked over to the bed. She was thinking that if he was not going to say anything, she would lie down next to him and sleep together with him.After running about the entire day, she was rather tired too.Just when she sat by the bed and was about to get in bed, his angry and low voice came through. "Get out!""I'm not leaving." Avery got in bed.Not only did she get in bed. She uncovered the covers and laid down next to him. Before he could do anything, she hugged his body tightly.His body tensed. His breathing got heavy as if he was about to erupt the next second."Elliot, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I know where I went wrong." She buried her face in the nape of his neck and softened her tone. "I saw the light show that you prepared for me. I also saw the ring…"Her words seemed to have agitated him o

Elliot felt cold. The moment Avery left his arms, he was so cold he shuddered as if he were about to freeze to death. He could not let her go."Elliot, please don't torture yourself again in the future?" Avery had lost count of the number of times. "Whether you made a mistake, or I made a mistake, you have to stop torturing yourself."His breathing turned heavier. He was like a ball of fire at that moment, constantly emitting heat.Avery was worried that a fever might cause him further problems."Elliot, let me go. I'll go get medicine for you." She pushed his arms away, wanting to get up.He quickly grabbed hold of her, going up against her."Elliot, are you trying to die from sickness?!" Her arms hurt from his grab.She did not want to yell at him, but if she did not sober him up, even if she used force, she might not escape his clutches.After her yells, his grip on her lightened a little, but he still did not let her go.She sat in front of him. She could not leave him, bu

The bodyguard did not immediately realize who was that 'husband' she mentioned."Your husband? Who's your husband?" the bodyguard raised his voice and asked.Elliot could hear the bodyguard's gruff voice even though she was speaking with the bodyguard through the cell phone.Avery blushed immediately. "Who else could it be besides Elliot? We're getting married soon.""Oh! So you're not married yet but you're already referring to him as your husband?" the bodyguard teased. "Alright. Go ahead and take care of him. I'll just ignore Adrian."Had Elliot not been standing beside her, Avery would have asked the bodyguard to pass the phone to Adrian and comforted him. His presence made her wary of doing it.She looked at Elliot after hanging up.He turned his body to his side with his back facing her.She placed her cell phone down and leaned toward him."How do you feel, Elliot?" she asked, reaching out and touching his forehead.He remembered what happened the night before and so p

"You found Shea, didn't you?" He frowned and proposed another plan. "It's fine if you don't want to kill Adrian, but just in case, I'll kill Nathan's family."Avery was speechless.She could not accept what he proposed because she did not want him to kill anyone."You haven't recovered from your cold yet, Elliot. You need to rest. Don't worry about him. I'll get the bodyguards to keep watch over him in the hospital so Nathan can't get close to him for now." She lowered her eyes and persuaded softly, "We'll try and find another way once you've recovered.""Avoiding a problem won't solve it, Avery." Elliot's voice was cold. "He cannot live under the same sun as me.""Why not? Adrian won't take anything from you. He's just like Shea—someone whose status is probably less than that of a random person on the street. Were you going to kill Shea too if she was alive?" Avery questioned him with a frown."You're being unreasonable. Shea's dead, so there's no basis for your question," he re
