Chapter 1050
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
Chapter 1056
At the hospital, Adrian was in rather low spirits because he did not see Avery that day.The bodyguard sat beside his hospital bed and was absorbed in some mobile game. Meanwhile, Adrian stared at the ceiling in a daze.It did not take long before the door of the ward was pushed open and Avery walked in.Adrian looked at her in a daze and thought he was dreaming. After all, the bodyguard had told him earlier in the morning that Avery was not coming that day."How are you feeling today, Adrian?" Avery walked up to the bed and asked.The bodyguard immediately quit the game and stood up in shock."Miss Tate? Didn't you say you were going to take care of your husband today?" The bodyguard cleared his throat awkwardly. "Why are you here? Is your husband alright? Or did you get into an argument with him?""Would it kill you to talk a little less?" Avery seemed to realize that the people around her, such as Mike and the bodyguard, frequently overstepped their boundaries.It was probab

That man was tall, thin, and possessed graceful facial features along with a timid-looking gaze. He was probably Adrian.Avery took Adrian's hand and walked to Elliot."Adrian, this is your big brother, Elliot," Avery said to Adrian.Adrian was a little scared when he looked at Elliot's stern and gloomy face, but he obediently said, "Hello, Big Br—""Don't call me that! I'm not your big brother!" Elliot interrupted him immediately. At the same time, he looked at Avery and said, "Come up here right now, Avery!"Avery knew that Elliot would be angry because she brought Adrian there without discussing it with him in advance.A discussion would have been pointless since he would never agree to let her bring Adrian there."Don't be afraid. He looks fierce, but he's actually a good person," Avery reassured him and walked upstairs.The two of them went to the second floor and entered the master bedroom."Don't be mad, Elliot. Hear me out." Avery walked up to him and looked gently at
