Chapter 1077
"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."

"Give Master Elliot a call, Avery. Ask him to get someone to check it out," suggested Mrs. Cooper. "Why would Cole come to such a secluded place? I bet he's got something up his sleeve and wants to cause a scene tomorrow.""Okay. I'll let him know when I see him later.""Listen, Avery. Henry might look like a good man, but he really isn't," Mrs. Cooper said as she held Robert with a stern expression on her face. "Don't think that Cole turned into a bad apple all by himself. He was influenced by his parents. His mother was a monster, but his father isn't that far off. Those who sleep in the same bed wouldn't be that different, after all."Avery pondered this for a moment with furrowed brows, then said, "I vaguely remember how Cole tried to use me to get his hands on Elliot's inheritance back when he was in a vegetative state. I doubt he came up with such a despicable plan by himself!""That's right! Didn't Cole come to see Master Elliot after he woke up? Master Elliot threw a huge f

Soon after, the bodyguard that was sent to search for Cole returned."Sir, I've looked around a few shops in the area but didn't find Cole Foster.""Leave it," Elliot said."Yes, Sir. I'll get the team to guard the resort's entrance. I guarantee we won't allow anyone insignificant to enter.""Good."When Avery stepped out of the shower of the resort villa and saw Tammy holding Robert, she felt slightly bewildered."Did you bring Robert back?""That's right! Someone was smoking out there, so Elliot asked me to bring Robert back to you when he saw me," Tammy said. "I'm guessing that the man who was smoking couldn't stand Elliot any longer! Do you know what Elliot was doing the whole time he was holding Robert out there? He was praising Robert to the moon. It was as if he would never run out of words to describe how amazing Robert is."Avery held back her laughter."Have you noticed that Elliot's been in unusually high spirits the past couple of days? Didn't he sing your praises
Chapter 1082
"I am." There was no reason for Avery to hide her true feelings in front of Elliot. "I'm afraid that our peaceful lives will be ruined. This has been the happiest time since we've been together. I don't want anything to ruin it, but I know it definitely will be.""Cole would not show up here for no reason."He and Henry must have some sort of scheme," thought Avery. Avery had a strong feeling that Henry would reveal all of Elliot's secrets tomorrow.Henry chose tomorrow to do this because the resort will be the most crowded place at the time.All major media outlets would be present, so revealing things tomorrow would have the biggest impact."Our lives won't be ruined as long as you and the children are by my side." Elliot's voice was low and hoarse but filled with magnetism."I know things won't change between us, but I don't want you to have to suffer such major scrutiny. Even if the truth is exposed, and a majority of people feel the same as me and don't think you were in t

"Why would people criticize him?" Layla took Avery's words seriously, and she looked sad. Avery did not know how to explain things to her daughter.She worried that if she revealed everything to Layla tonight will make it difficult for her to fall asleep, so she held her tongue."It's nothing. I was just speaking hypothetically. You have to remember that your father is a good man. Don't dislike him no matter how other people criticize him.""Okay." Layla was confused, but she nodded her head and said, "I'll listen to you, Mommy."Once Avery finished helping Layla with her bath, she tucked her into bed.It was already past ten by the time Avery returned to the master bedroom.Elliot pointed at the midnight snack that the butler had sent over and asked, "Do you want to have something to eat?"Avery shook her head and said, "I gain weight easily if I eat this late at night. I want to be the most beautiful bride tomorrow. Don't tempt me with food.""I'll ask the butler to take it

Elliot very quickly answered his phone."Where did you run off to, Elliot?" Avery's tight chest slightly relaxed.She was so nervous earlier that she thought that her call might not get through."I'm going to pick up a guest. Wait in the villa and don't wander around," Elliot said in a calm voice."Alright. Did Henry contact you?" Avery asked in a low voice."He didn't."Henry did not contact Elliot, but his uncle did.His uncle contacted him because of Henry.His uncle had arrived at the resort the day before, but he was not at the resort at that moment.He had told Elliot that Henry wanted to see him and that he had to go and meet him.Henry was willing to negotiate with Elliot rather than going forward with the public exposal. Elliot did not want Avery to worry, so he decided to go and see what requests Henry would make.At a restaurant outside of the resort, Henry, Cole, and a few of the Foster family elders were sitting at a dining table.The moment Elliot entered th
