Chapter 1109
Avery checked to see if Wesley had replied to her text.She could not help but send him a text earlier to ask if Shea was still alive.She truly hoped that he would answer her question.On the other hand, Elliot was frowning at the text message he received from Ben.Ben asked if they had safely arrived in Roburg.However, this was not what caused Elliot to frown, but the message that followed.[I'm just going to put it out there! Your sister, Lilith, is staying at my place right now! Peter returned to Bridgedale. She refused to go with him, and I couldn't let her bother you! But I'm in a dilemma right now! She won't listen to me at all!]Elliot instantly lost his appetite as he read the text message.He had only agreed to give the White siblings a monthly allowance. He did not agree to get involved in their personal lives.Ben: [Your sister doesn't like learning, Elliot. I told her that I'll find her a good university but she would rather die than go to university. She's only

Avery saw that Elliot was smiling, but she could hear the dissatisfied tone in his voice.If she was not texting Wesley, she would definitely give her phone to Elliot."I'm texting Tammy!" She found a seemingly reasonable excuse. "She asked if we've arrived yet, and the subject that she is talking about right now is a little sensitive." "What kind of sensitive subject?" Elliot accepted her explanation, but he was now curious about what she and Tammy were talking about."Women's subjects," Avery pushed through. "It's got to do with pregnancy. She thinks that I'm experienced because I've had three children, so… So I won't want to show you my phone. It'd be embarrassing if she asked something private!"Elliot nodded as he understood and respected her decision.He picked up his own phone and opened up the camera. He was prepared to show her his skills. Avery immediately posed with a peace sign.Elliot took the photo, then handed his phone to her.Avery took the phone, then purse

"You got a text message, by the way," Elliot said. Then, he paused for a moment and said, "But it could be spam."Avery's body stiffened as she turned to him anxiously and asked, "Did you look at it?"Elliot shook his head and said, "I didn't. Weren't you the one who said I can't look at your phone?"Avery nodded with a smile and said, "Good boy. It's not like I don't want to show it to you. Of course, you can look at it if you want to. It's not like I'd get mad."She said this, but she zipped her purse shut. It was obvious that she did not plan on showing her phone to him."Aren't you going to read it?" he asked."Didn't you say it was spam? I think it probably was, too." Avery held her purse in one hand and held Elliot's arm with her other hand. "My information was leaked after I bought the villa. I constantly get calls from people asking me if I want to buy a house. Banks also call me to ask if I'm interested in taking out loans.""I get phone calls like that occasionally, to

Wesley finally answered Avery's question.[You're right. She's still alive. But she's very sick right now. Instead of letting you guys worry, you were better off thinking she was dead. That way, you can all quickly go back to your peaceful lives. Don't tell Elliot about this, telling him would do nothing but upset him.]Avery felt her soul leave her body as she read the text message.Part of her suspected she was dreaming while another part of her recalled the way Elliot looked when he said Shea was alive."Who's texting you, Avery?" Elliot asked immediately when he noticed her dazed expression after he paid for the camera.Avery deleted all of Wesley's text messages, then came up with an excuse and said, "I gave a bad review on a dish set that I bought online because the quality was bad. The seller's trying to get me to change my review.""Give me their contact information or their shop name. I'll send someone to deal with them." Elliot saw how upset Avery looked and wanted to h

"Sure. We'll eat out tomorrow. How's that?""Alright. I'm taking a shower. I sweated a lot this afternoon." Avery walked over to her suitcase and pulled out her pajamas. "Are we still going out later tonight?""Let's go check out the night scene after dinner. If you're tired, then we could take a short walk and come back.""Alright."After Avery entered the bathroom, her phone rang.It was a video call from Layla.Elliot answered the call, and his gaze filled with tenderness when he saw his daughter's beautiful and adorable face."Hey, Daddy. Where's Mommy?""She's in the shower.""Oh… Is it fun there?" Layla asked. "Are you guys having a good time?""It's a small country, but the beaches are beautiful. I've been to plenty of beaches before, but the ocean looks the best from here." Elliot walked over to the balcony and showed Layla the scenery. "Can you see the ocean out there?""I can't see it, Daddy! You should go to the bach and show me!""Alright. I'll head over to the

Avery felt like all the energy was sucked out of her body and she almost lost her balance.She had specifically told Wesley that afternoon that Elliot was looking for him. "Why can't he hide a little better if he did not want Elliot to find him?" thought Avery. She closely examined Elliot's face to see if there were any new injuries."Why are you looking at me like that?" Elliot led Avery over to the bed and made her sit. "I took Wesley's postcard to the local post office earlier and asked the staff there to check the surveillance cameras based on the date and time that the postcard was mailed. They just contacted me and told me that they found footage of the sender, so I headed over and saw Wesley."His explanation was a huge relief to Avery."So, when you said you saw Wesley, you meant that you saw him on surveillance footage?""Yes. Did you think I actually saw him in real life? If that was the case, then I wouldn't come back here by myself, would I?" Elliot tapped Avery ligh

"Okay! Go ahead and call Uncle Eric now, then!"Avery ended the video call, then called Eric.When the call was answered, she pondered for a moment, then said, "Layla told me that Elliot said something bad about you earlier, Eric… I don't know exactly what he said, but I think I have an idea. Please don't stoop down to his level. He loves Layla too much and ended up thinking up this nonsense. He thinks that, apart from him, all men in the world have impure intentions toward Layla.""I've never gotten along with him anyway," Eric said. "Nothing he says will affect my relationship with you and Layla.""That's good. Did you guys have a good time diving today?""It was pretty fun. I'll send the photos over to you later.""Alright."The door to the bathroom suddenly burst open and Elliot walked out.Avery did not expect him to finish bathing so soon."Didn't you say you were hungry, Avery? Let's go have dinner!" Elliot guessed who she was on the phone with, so he deliberately walke

In the afternoon, Avery had switched the phone from vibrate to silent.Elliot's back was facing her, so he did not notice her picking up her phone. Wesley sent her a message, saying that he was leaving Roburg the next day,Avery immediately replied, [Let's meet before you leave tomorrow! You pick a place and time. I'll try to find a way to see you.]"Avery, can't I get wet tomorrow? Then, what are we doing tomorrow? If I can't get wet at the beach, there's not much fun," said Elliot as he sat on the bed. He was rather glum. "We can just walk around and look at things. As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy.""Hmm.""Let's see tomorrow!" Avery felt that Wesley was most likely not going to refuse her request, so she had to find a way to distract Elliot the next day to meet Wesley.Elliot was a slightly more paranoid person. Finding a way to properly distract him was a challenge. The only time she could really meet Wesley was while he was having his nap."Are you sure you want me
