Chapter 1272
About an hour later, a black sedan appeared in front of the mansion.Nick warned Avery. "Your man is here."Avery smiled bitterly. "He is not my man. He is my debtor."The night before, Elliot said more than once that he was going to make Avery pay, and because of that, Avery could not sleep for the entire night.Even thinking back about it, her heart still hurt.Elliot opened the car door and got out of the car. He was still in black that day, making himself seem taller.His bodyguard did not enter the hall with him. He changed his shoes and entered the hall. He immediately saw Avery. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.He felt different seeing her during the day compared to seeing her the night before. Maybe it was because people were much calmer and logical in the day."Elliot, sit," Nick said, "How's your body?""Quite good." Elliot's expressions resumed their usual coldness. He accepted the cup of tea from Nick, took a sip, and placed it down."Are you and Ruby p

"How did you get Nick to help you?""I have my ways." Avery sat down next to him and said aggrievedly, "Elliot, I cannot let you forget me. My entire youth has to do with you. Our past can't be wiped away just like that. I won't back off just because you want to start a new life." Elliot clenched his fists tightly. He did not know what to say.She was not afraid of his threats. He could not possibly hit her. Even if he wanted to do it, they were not at the right place."Do you really not have feelings for me anymore?" She held his huge palms. "Turn around and look at me.""Lame," Elliot mocked."I know that you are great at hiding your emotions, but I don't believe that you have completely forgotten about me." She used all her might to hold his hand tightly with one hand while hooking her other arm around his neck, planting a kiss on his lips.The familiar scent roused all the emotions in her. Thinking about how he was another woman's husband and how cold he was to her, her tea

Although they fought terribly on the surface, Avery had huge confidence."What do you plan to do next? He has a wife now, after all. Wouldn't it be awkward for you to look for him?" Jed asked."I don't need to feel awkward. If it wasn't for Gary, Elliot and I would have long reconciled." Avery took a sip of water. "Have you ever seen someone who just finished surgery and immediately registered for marriage?""Hmm, but why does Elliot obey Gary so much?" Jed did not understand. "You said that Gary is not a good person, doesn’t Elliot know this?" Avery was silent for a while before explaining, "This is complicated. Gary helped him a long time ago. A good person and a bad person are not just purely defined by law. Sometimes, even if we think a person is bad, that person might be good to others.""I understand. Elliot won't be in danger being with Gary.""No." Avery received quite a lot of information from Nick that day. "Gary is a dangerous man. If Elliot stays with him, even if he
Chapter 1275
Gary was only afraid that Elliot might one day wipe everyone out!"I heard that you saw Avery today. Why is she still around?" Gary changed the topic. "Do you need me to send someone to chase her away? In case she keeps bothering you.""She has treated Nick in the past. If Nick is on our side this time, it would be to our advantage." Elliot did not directly say, "Don't touch Avery," but the effect was much more persuasive."Okay! I'll respect Nick then. What is she trying to do, constantly looking for you? Is she trying to help you regain your memories?" Gary warned Elliot, "I have already put my daughter's happiness in your hand. You have promised that you will treat her well. Even if you have regained your memories, you cannot disappoint her.""I won't." Elliot downed the wine and placed his glass down. He held Ruby's hand. "Ruby is obedient. A lady like that is most suitable to be a wife."Gary chuckled loudly. "Of course, Ruby is obedient! I have told her to always obey you. I

Avery didn’t want him to sleep with Ruby, but that was exactly what he planned to do.He wanted to prove that he was not the Elliot he was before! Now, he could do whatever he wanted, without being controlled by anybody."Elliot…I’m quite nervous…could you be gentle to me later?" said Ruby shyly while pulling the laces of his nightgown apart.He held her hand in his, and frowned, “Did you put on perfume?”"I did. Does it smell nice?" Ruby looked upwards at him affectionately.The perfume she put on was the one she thought most men would like."It doesn't," Elliot tied the laces of his nightgown back into place, "Go wash it off.""All right …I don't really like the smell either." Ruby smiled and walked towards the bathroom. He didn't know if it was due to the perfume or not, but he suddenly felt less interested in Ruby. He picked up his phone and took a look at the time. It was still early. He strode out from the bedroom, and ordered the nanny to prepare a sobering drink for him.Ab

"Miss, why aren't you with Master Elliot?""He's busy. He doesn't need me." Ruby sat down on the sofa, picked up the fruit plate, and ate the fruit sullenly, "He doesn't seem to be interested in me. Am I not beautiful enough? I remember his ex-wife. I think I'm way prettier and younger than her."The nanny echoed, "Of course you are, Miss! Why would he decide to marry you otherwise?""But I took his clothes off, and he put them back on," Ruby whispered. "Is he feeling unwell?" She guessed."Master Elliot is probably feeling rather weak as he has just been through an operation. He should be able to recover in a month." The nanny assured Ruby, "He is well-built and has been able to sire three children with Avery, he should be fine."Ruby heaved a sigh of relief.The next morning, Elliot went to the hospital for a follow-up body checkup. The deputy dean of the hospital asked about his condition and ordered a CT scan of his brain."Mr. Elliot, I have to tell you that your ex-wife

A nurse passed by, saw that Jed needed help, and immediately pushed a wheelchair towards him.Avery moved Jed to the emergency room.In the emergency room, Jed slowly came to his senses.His chest still hurt, but he felt uncomfortable about the fact that Avery was in love with a man as violent as Elliot."Avery, if he had hit me harder, I would not be able to go back to Bridgedale...Aren't you afraid that he might go crazy and kill you one day?" He felt apprehensive about Avery's fate.Elliot no longer remembered Avery, and yet Avery insisted on saving him."I'm sorry, Jed! Elliot thought someone was attacking him. That's why he hit you so hard. Next time you see him, you can greet him head-on." Avery explained."Will there be a next time? I don't want to see him again." Jed looked as if he were about to cry, "I think my ribs may be broken, and I might have to be hospitalized."As expected, a chest X-ray showed a mild fracture on the ribs. Although it wasn't severe, Jed had to

"Yup!" Both people fell into deep conversation. Ben, who was sitting by the door, felt uneasy listening in on them."Lilith, can I talk to you in private? We should solve our problems on our own, there is no point involving others," said Ben."Uncle Ben, Lilith is also my Aunt, why are you so hard on her?" asked Layla."My darling, I'm only trying to solve problems. Relax, I won't hurt her," said Ben."Really? How are you planning to solve the problem? Are you planning on running away like my dad?" asked Layla.Ben could feel a shooting pain in his heart."So are you trying to say that I should take responsibility and marry Lilith?" asked Ben."That would depend on if Aunt Lilith is interested in you or not. It's not like she would definitely agree to take your hand in marriage," replied Layla.Ben did not know what to say to that."Just think of how young and beautiful Aunt Lilith is, you, on the other hand, I remember you are even slightly older than my dad. Uncle Eric t
