Chapter 1145
If possible, she wished that their lives could continue to be as peaceful and wonderful as it had been. Though Elliot was a sensitive and skeptical man, he was also very easy to please and would usually forgive her as soon as she set her ego aside to apologize.When he came out of the shower, she pulled him towards the bed despite the dark expression on his face and the anger in his eyes. Once he lay down, she turned off the lights and said, "Hubby, I...""Who's more important, Adrian or me?" He interrupted her."Of course you." She held onto him tight and took his familiar scent in. "I just want to do the best that I can. Adrian is Shea's brother, after all. I promise that I won't let this affect our lives.""It already did," he said, "You said that you are upset. Do you think I can be in a good mood when you are sad?""I promise I won't let it get to me again." She leaned towards his cheek and planted a kiss on his face. "You need to attend the parents' meeting tomorrow and you

She froze.She had not expected for Cole and Henry to insist on making such a choice. What could possibly give them the courage to do so?"Why won't you listen? Why?!" Her eyes reddened and she roared as she clenched her fists."Avery, I am done with being a coward. I've been compared to Elliot ever since I started my own business and everyone thinks that I don't have the determination and talent Elliot has. I admit that I'm not as good as he is, which is why I want to take the risk this time and show my determination!""Ridiculous!" Avery mocked furiously. "You fail to show determination when you need to and want to be determined when you choose a foolish path!""Shut up!" Provoked by her mocking tone, he said, "I've made it clear, Avery! Both me and my dad have thought it through! Shea is ill because she tried to save your son, and helping her is your responsibility! Go to Elliot and get him to give us one-third of his shares with whatever excuse you can come up with! Otherwise,

He continued to message Avery. 'Ms. Brown said she sent you a message last night about having me give a speech on stage today. Why didn't you tell me? I didn't prepare anything. What am I supposed to say later?''We got into an argument, so we went to sleep early. I only noticed her message this morning.''What should I say later?''Whatever you feel like saying!''I can't think of anything.' It was the first time Elliot had attended a parents' meeting and he had no past experience to refer to; if it was a company meeting and he was asked to say whatever he felt like saying, he wouldn't be as troubled as he was at the moment.'Just give your gratitude to the teachers and thank them, then encourage the parents to work together and assist the teachers to educate their children...''Don't you think that's too corny? I hate saying things that sound rich but mean nothing in truth.''Then go brainstorm on your own! You can get started on a draft now.'Elliot replied to her with a mot

She hurried to the school.Inside the classroom, the parents' meeting carried on and Dylan's mother stood outside, accompanied by a teacher."Miss. Tate, you are finally here." Dylan's mother exclaimed in frustration. "Your husband is so scary. He didn't even bother being civilized with me in front of all those people.""My husband can be quite scary, but Ms. Brown has messaged me to explain what happened. I think you need to calm down. About my daughter hitting your son, we have discussed this before. I thought that you'd let it go, and I didn't expect you to bring it up again.""But your daughter never apologized to my son! My son's already apologized to Poppy." Dylan's mother couldn't accept it."Your son should apologize to Poppy. My daughter wouldn't have hit him had he not pulled Poppy's hair." Avery reasoned with her. "When one makes a mistake, punishment is to be expected. Your son is the one who made a mistake, not my daughter, so naturally, she doesn't have to apologize

"I've only stopped eating spicy food since we got together. You don't eat spicy food, so my preferences kind of changed as well," she complained, "Before we started dating, I was really good at stomaching spicy food.""Fine, let's get both flavors." Touched, Elliot decided to go along with it.In a rented apartment, Cole spent all morning on his phone, hoping that Avery would contact him again.He had thought that Avery was a sentimental woman and that she would definitely compromise when dealing with Shea's condition; however, Avery had not gotten in touch with him since she hung up on him early in the morning."I read her wrong!" Cole gritted out, "Has she given up on saving my aunt? What a ruthless woman she is!"Henry was making tea and felt unsettled. He had wavered the night before because accepting Tate Industries and selling it meant that they would obtain a great sum of money and avoid facing Elliot directly. The two of them could leave Aryadelle and live the rest of thei

"Yes." He handed her the tissue and stared into her eyes. "Why are you tearing up?"She wiped her tears with the tissue and said, "Probably because it's been too long since I had spicy food so I am kind of struggling to stomach it; besides, when I think about how caring you've been to me and the children, I feel like I have the entire world in the palm of my hand.""Isn't that a good thing?" His heart ached at the tears in her eyes."It's good! I am happy." She picked up the glass to take a sip of water. "Elliot, I came across a comment on social media last night that said you value money and profit above all. That person even said that you married me because I am not so bad at earning money as well; that you probably wouldn't marry me if I can't make money."Elliot gaped at what she said."That's why I asked you the question just now," she continued."Do you think that all the things I've said to you in the past are nothing but lies?" He questioned in a cold tone."Of course I

Avery had thought it through. Back then, Shea sacrificed her life to save Robert. Her love for Robert came from her love for Elliot.Her love for Elliot was no less than Avery's love for Elliot.If Shea was conscious at that moment, she would not be willing to let Elliot be threatened by Henry and Cole.After lunch, Avery held Elliot's hands and led him out of the restaurant."Elliot, let's take a walk!" "Hmm. What do you usually do when you go shopping with Tammy?" Elliot asked curiously.Avery often shopped with Tammy until the evening before returning home."Sometimes, she gets her hair done, or a manicure. It takes time. Other than that, we would be either shopping or eating. Tammy loves buying handbags. She has a few rooms at home just to store them."Elliot said, "Compared to Tammy, you seem as if you don't have many desires.""I do have desires. I keep you close to me, isn't that a big enough desire?"Elliot felt great about that. He held her hand. "Let's go get yo

Before sending the message, Avery hesitated for a while. In the end, she deleted her well-drafted message.How could she give up on Shea's life? Was she at her wit's end already?She took a deep breath, planning to calm herself down before thinking of a solution.An hour later, Layla came home from school. When she returned, she immediately headed to Elliot."Daddy, did you fight with Dylan's mother today?"When Avery heard Layla's questions, she immediately walked over and explained to Layla, "Layla, Daddy did indeed fight with Dylan's mother, but Daddy is not wrong.""Hehe! My teacher told me all about it! I knew that Daddy loves me best," Layla said and climbed onto Elliot, held his face with both her hands and kissed his cheeks hard.Seeing how affectionate father and daughter were, Avery was delighted. "Did Dylan transfer schools?""No, he transferred to another class.""Hmm, Layla, don't be affected by this. When friends get bullied, you should courageously stand up and
