Chapter 1072
Avery's calm heart felt cold all of a sudden."He's extremely afraid of me," Elliot said, "So he would rather go with Henry than stay with me.""Don't bring that up, Elliot." Avery felt a little uncomfortable. "We're having our wedding photoshoot today. Let's not talk about unhappy stuff, okay?"She pondered over it briefly. Even though it was still not a good idea for Adrian to return to Henry's side, it was still much better than remaining with Nathan.Adrian was Henry's younger brother and Henry would not go so far as to abuse his younger brother.Not long later, a team of photographers arrived.Tammy arrived at about the same time too.With Tammy's help, Avery chose three different themes.The weather was quite good that day and the outdoor photoshoot went very smoothly.They originally decided to do one outdoor scene and two studio scenes, but the outdoor scenes were quite relaxing so they did an extra set.Time passed by in a flash and it was already evening.It was di

Avery felt that Hayden was deliberately refusing to negotiate with her.The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. Eventually, she called Elliot because her sadness was too much to bear."Elliot, Hayden has decided to study abroad. He's leaving me."Elliot's breathing became heavier. "Is there anything I can do?""No. Don't do anything, because you can't," she felt choked. "He's made up his mind. Mike said he'd be leaving the day after tomorrow at the latest. He doesn't want to be in this house anymore.""Let him go if that's what he wants," Elliot said helplessly. "Don't cry. Just don't treat him like he's a child.""I can't help but treat him as a child, Elliot. I always feel like I'm going to lose him.""You won't. He's your son and you'll never lose him," Elliot comforted her patiently. "He just doesn't want to face me. He still loves you. You can always visit him frequently in the future."Her mood calmed down gradually as she listened to his deep voice.

Elliot picked Layla up with one hand and held Avery's hand tightly with his other hand.She followed him and left the airport lobby.At the airport command and control center, Elliot brought Avery and Layla in and led them to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The runway could be seen very clearly."We'll be able to see Hayden's flight taking off in about half an hour." He took Avery and came to the window. "I chatted with Mike last night and I share the same view as him. It is the better choice for Hayden to be studying abroad."Avery stared at him blankly and waited for him to explain further."He managed to get only three points higher than Daniel in the qualifying round, which is why Daniel questioned whether the teacher's grade was fair. If he scored thirty points more than Daniel, do you think Daniel will still question it? He still lacks in ability..."Avery frowned when she heard him say that. "Don't you think you're asking too much of your son? He's three years younge

Avery gave Elliot a quick peck on his thin lips and pushed him away. "You have a call! I'll change into something else and put the wedding dress away."He took out his cell phone from his pocket and answered it when he saw the incoming call."Mr. Foster, Henry brought Adrian to do a DNA test," Elliot's subordinate said. "I think he has ulterior motives for doing this. He knows that Adrian is his younger brother and he's already taken him away from you, so there really isn't any reason for him to do the test."Elliot glanced at Avery.She was looking in the mirror while unfastening the strings of the dress on her back."Keep an eye on them and report everything to me at the first instance," he said before ending the call."Who was it?" Avery asked after seeing that he had hung up the phone."Henry brought Adrian to do a DNA test. And since you were worried about Adrian, I had my men keep my eyes on them." He strode behind her and helped her untie the strings."Oh. Did Henry ask
Chapter 1076
Over at Starry River Villa, Mrs. Cooper placed an envelope in front of Avery."Would you like me to open it for you, Avery? Or do you want to open it yourself?" asked Mrs. Cooper.Avery picked up the envelope and carefully read the sender's information. The envelope came from a small country she was unfamiliar with. She opened the enveloped and pulled out a postcard.The moment she saw the postcard, Wesley's face appeared in her mind."Is it from Wesley?" asked Mrs. Cooper. "Is it the same address as before?"Avery shook her head. "It's not the same address. Elliot was planning on checking out the address the last postcard came from after the wedding, but he moved to another country again.""Is he traveling the world?!" Mrs. Cooper said with furrowed brows.Avery carefully looked through the postcard.It was a handmade postcard with a drawing of a bride and groom on it."I never knew he was this good at drawing," she mumbled softly. "I wonder how he's doing right now. Ther

"Of course, I can! But this has nothing to do with whether or not I wish you well. It's up to the both of you to keep things loving and happy! I wasn't the one who wished for your constant bickering in the past now, was I?" laughed Mike. "You don't have to worry about Hayden. He's pretty much settled down over there now.""Did he say anything to you in secret?" Avery asked.Mike chuckled softly and looked as if he had heard a good joke. "Do you think your son is the type of person to reveal his secrets to others? He barely says two sentences to you, and you are his mother. He doesn't speak to others at all, okay? The first night he was at the new school, the teacher actually asked me if he had a speaking disability."Avery was shocked. "Didn't you say he was settled down?!""He is! I asked his teacher about it, and she said that she and the other students are used to him now. She guaranteed that he won't get bullied. Doesn't that count as him being settled down?" Mike let out a hea

"She's a good cook and makes me whatever I want to eat. She's very good to me.""She can also knit. The sweater she knitted me is better than anything that you could get at a store."She cheers me up when I'm unhappy."She takes me out on dates when I'm happy. You should all know that I've always been a boring person, but she's never held that against me."When I'm sick, she would stay up all night and take care of me with devotion. She's an outstanding mother, entrepreneur, and an amazing wife."…It was as if Elliot had too much to drink and was on a drunken ramble. Avery was in a daze from his praise and wanted to dig a hole and hide inside it.She had never thought of herself as someone that extraordinary.She suspected that Elliot was describing his dream wife."Why are you so talkative today, Elliot?" She poured him a glass of juice in hopes that he would calm down.Elliot took a sip of juice and got even more excited. He fixed his deep-set eyes on Avery, then asked, "W

"Listen, Elliot. Even if you spout all those wild exaggerations about me out there, I would never become someone like that." Avery lay down on the bed, then said, "At the very least, I'm never knitting a sweater again.""They don't know you. I just wanted them to know that you didn't climb any ladders to get to me." Elliot wrote down all of his passwords on the piece of paper, then handed it over to her. "For your perusal, Honey."Avery accepted his reasoning.She picked up the piece of paper, went through it in detail, then noticed something that stood out."Is the 'AT' at the beginning of your social media password my initials?""That's right. The pin to my credit card is Layla's birthday," he said. "The two of you are the most important women in my life."Avery's cheeks flushed. Then, she asked, "Are your sons not important?""Not relatively as important." Elliot sat by the bed, then added, "You and Layla are much more thoughtful. Our sons just get angry at me all the time."
