Chapter 1094
"The guests are having lunch in the banquet hall, Sir," Chad said after asking one of the staff members outside the hall. "How about you get something to eat at the banquet hall first? Avery might be there right now, too."Elliot pulled his phone out of his pocket.His phone screen was cracked, but the phone still worked.He found Avery's number and dialed it. His call was answered very quickly."Avery.""Elliot."The both of them spoke at the same time."Where are you right now?""Where are you right now?"Avery and Elliot asked simultaneously.They fell into silence. A few seconds later, Avery said, "I'm at the villa. What about you?""I'm coming to you now.""Alright."Avery hung up the phone and felt relieved.Judging by Elliot's tone, it seemed like he had calmed down.It was just as Tammy had said. Once they got through today, their lives would gradually become stable.From now on, there would be nothing else that could bring them down.Elliot reached the villa f
Chapter 1095
"I don't care what they say about me." Elliot held Avery's hand, pulled her into his arms, and rested his chin on the top of her head. "Have you eaten?""I have." Avery took in the smell of medicine on him and said sadly, "I didn't have much to eat in the morning, so I was really hungry at lunch and ended up eating.""Good.""How's Nathan? You didn't beat him up too much, did you?" Avery felt uneasy.When Elliot had seen Nathan earlier, he was overcome with rage.Avery was worried that he would be too hard on him and cause more trouble."I don't know. He's probably still alive," Elliot said hoarsely. "We wouldn't have to deal with all of these problems if it weren't for him. I wouldn't be this mad if he had just stayed in Bridgedale and asked me for money.""He isn't a good father at all. Don't be mad, Elliot. Whatever he does from now on has nothing to do with us.""Alright."At the hospital, Nathan was covered in bruises, but he did not have any serious injuries.Once the d
Chapter 1096
Avery was worried that the bruises on Elliot's face would scare the children at the wedding, so she made him stay put at the villa. While he rested, she wanted him to think about everything that happened today and if there might have been a better solution if he had another chance to repeat the day.In truth, she was being resentful. He was partially responsible for the failed wedding ceremony, after all."Why won't you let him go out and meet the guests, Avery?" Ben asked after clearing his throat. "Everyone really wants to see him!""He's covered in injuries." Since Elliot was casting the blame on her, Avery decided that she did not have to save him any face. "Even his butt is bruised."Elliot was speechless.Ben was shocked and said, "Are you that seriously injured, Elliot? If you are, then you should rest."Elliot got up from the couch and said, "I'm fine.""Alright." Ben was in a dilemma.Elliot walked over to Avery and negotiated with her. "It's our wedding day. It doesn'
Chapter 1097
"I used to think that I would walk through my life all by myself. That was until I met you, Avery Tate. You taught me about love, affection, and loyalty. You also showed me what it felt like to be complete. My life is only complete with you in it. I can't guarantee that all of our days together would be smooth sailing, but I promise that I will spend every single day from now on loving you with all my heart, just like I do now."Avery gawked at Elliot in stunned silence. She was in disbelief!The words he just said were completely different from the vows that he had written before."I know you're thinking about why my vows are different from the ones I drafted." Elliot gazed at her bewildered expression and said, "I feel guilty that you had to suffer through everything that happened today, so there are a lot more things that I want to say to you now."Avery's eyes instantly welled up with tears.This was not an official wedding ceremony, but she still felt moved.She took the mi
Chapter 1098
Once Adrian returned to his room after getting some water, Cole turned to his father."We could use Uncle Adrian, Dad," Cole revealed his plan. "Avery Tate's biggest flaw is that she's softhearted."Henry listened and pondered for a few seconds, then said, "How do we use him? Your uncle's an idiot. He can't do anything at all!""We don't need him to do anything. We just need to use him to threaten Avery." Cole narrowed his cunning eyes and said, "Aunt Shea died in order to save Avery's son. She must feel a lot of guilt about it. When she treated Uncle Adrian's illness, she didn't know about his true identity. She probably treated his illness out of the guilt she felt toward Aunt Shea."Henry's expression turned heavy. "She feels guilty toward your aunt, not your uncle. It would definitely work if we used your aunt against her, but it might not work if we used your uncle. Don't tell me you want us to use your uncle's life to threaten her?""We don't really kill him, of course. Aver
Chapter 1099
Avery was extremely moved by Elliot's profession of love for her that night.However, she also felt sorry that the wedding he had prepared for so long was ruined.Even if they had gone through with the wedding that afternoon, she would still feel uneasy.Henry had gone too far!He could have chosen any time to expose the scandals, but he deliberately chose to do it on this day!"I used to think that most people in life are good people, but some people manage to renew my knowledge of bad people over and over again." Avery raised her glass and took another sip."Are you talking about Elliot's big brother, Henry?" Tammy asked. "He's a pretty disgusting man, indeed. Even if Elliot isn't his biological brother, Elliot has been treating him pretty well over the years! He didn't take any of that into account. He really was too cruel.""If Rosalie was still alive, she definitely wouldn't have allowed Henry to behave that way.""That's right. Don't be upset, Avery. After everything that
Chapter 1100
Elliot did not expect Avery to be thinking of these things in her drunken state of mind.He stroked her reddened cheek with his hand, then said, "You've had too much to drink, Avery. Don't you feel bad?""I do." Avery gazed at Elliot with glistening eyes. "I feel really bad seeing your image ruined.""I'll be fine after a few days. I'll ask the butler to bring some soup to sober you up." Elliot's heart ached as he watched Avery's confused expression. "Lie down on the bed and don't move around.""Where are you going?""I'm going to call the butler," Elliot said as he dialed a number on the room's phone.The butler very quickly answered the call.As Elliot asked the butler for some soup, he could barely finish his sentence when Avery cried out in a spoiled voice, "I want lollipop, Mr. Butler!"The butler was taken aback.Elliot turned around and gazed in frustration at Avery's drunken face. "Are you sure you want a lollipop?""I'm feeling really hot. If you don't let me have a
Chapter 1101
Elliot was so shocked that his back broke into a cold sweat.He had been sitting by the bed and eating the lollipop in pain as he scrolled through his phone when a sudden shriek came from behind him. Who would be able to handle that kind of shock?He brought the half-eaten lollipop over to Avery."Why did you wake up so quickly?" He saw the anger in her eyes, then cooed, "I was worried it would melt, so I helped you eat some of it.""Why didn't you just wake me?" Avery snatched the lollipop over and took a big bite. "I told you I was hot but you still ate it. Couldn't you have just asked the butler to send up another one?""Don't eat too much of that stuff." Elliot caressed Avery's forehead. "Do you still feel dizzy?""I do!" Avery frowned. "Eating something cold like this helps.""There's some soup that can help you sober up. Do you want some?""I'll have it later." Avery glanced at the insulated container. It was a pretty little pink container. "What kind of soup is it?""I'
