Chapter 1276
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

It was not so much of a secret, rather, it was really private details that no other people would be able to know.Stuff like Avery's passwords were all written on the notebook.However, Elliot was of course uninterested in Avery's passwords. He also did not plan to look through others' private details. Elliot quickly skipped through the sensitive details and finally, on the next page, he saw a picture that Avery glued to the page, it was a picture of the both of them.In the picture, both of them seemed to be having the time of their lives. In the picture, Elliot was kissing Avery's face.The picture caused a sudden spike in Elliot's heart rate. He could feel his chest heaving and his body temperature rising.As Elliot flipped through the remaining pages, every other page was filled with pictures of both of them, they were pictures of them together in the living room, eating together, in the bedroom, both of them together at the mall, in a restaurant and even by the beach.Elli

Elliot could see a black car just behind them, keeping speed with the car he was in.Elliot turned back towards the road and said, "Look for an empty place without too many people and stop the car." "Okay,". Replied the driver as he floored the pedal and turned into an intersection that led to an area that was less crowded.The bodyguard, of course, followed suit.Just as the bodyguard passed through the intersection, Elliot's car pulled over to the side of the road and stopped.The bodyguard could only slam on the brakes.Elliot got down from the car and calmly walked over to the bodyguard's car.The bodyguard cursed under his breath and wound down his window.When Elliot saw who was tailing him, he finally understood why the car, which was so obviously tailing him, would dare to do something like that."Did Avery send you?" asked Elliot."Of course, why would I follow you if not for the boss' orders. I would rather get some sleep. Which is why you should just let me go, I'

As the driver reached the bungalow, Elliot got out of the car. Ruby, in a bright red dress immediately came sauntering out of the door. "Elliot, how was your check-up?""Nothing out of the ordinary, the doctor just told me to get more rest," replied Elliot.Ruby hooked Elliot's arm as they walked into the living room, "Then you shouldn't overexert yourself! If you can't bring it up with my father, I can tell him! Daddy can't force you to overwork yourself, you are more important to me than anything on this planet!" exclaimed Ruby."Ruby, why are you dressed so magnificently today?" asked Elliot, changing the topic at hand."There's a surprise guest today! I can't tell you who it is, but you'll know soon enough," explained Ruby."Your birthday is coming up soon, what do you want for your present?" asked Elliot.Ruby blushed and said, "I can't say explicitly what I want, I will like anything that you give me."Ruby had always managed to make Elliot feel at ease. Avery on the con

"Haven't I already told you that both of them went out in the afternoon? They are not in the house at the moment. I have never seen a woman like you, Mr. Foster already made himself clear, why must you disturb his new life?!" exclaimed the nanny.Avery bit down on her lip, her grip on the bag tightening."You should leave now! Do you seriously think that when Mr. Gould comes back, he would have the patience to calmly ask you to leave? There's no saying what he would do to somebody like you," said the nanny.'Mr. Gould? The eldest son of the Gould family.'Everything that Avery knew about Christopher was from what she was told by her brother. That was why she only knew that the Gould family was currently facing a crisis, but she did not know the specifics of the Gould family.Avery promised her bodyguard to not do anything stupid. The reason she came was just to hand the medicine to Elliot.Avery spent most of her afternoon trying to get access to Elliot's reports and after finall
