"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
Elliot dragged Avery to her car."Open the door!" ordered Elliot."Your recovery isn't as perfect as you think, you didn't meet with the chief physician, right? You have to stop drinking and smoking, I don't care who that Christopher is, you can't joke around with your health," said Avery as she once again tried to give the medicine to Elliot."I told you to open the door!" exclaimed Elliot, he punched the car in frustration.Avery could not help but recoil under the loud bang."I'll leave, now!" said Avery as she stuffed the medicine into Elliot's hands and pushed him off of her.Avery opened the door and just before she got in the car, she looked at Elliot. "Elliot Foster, I won't be here forever. The reason I'm not leaving you is that I know you lost your memories, and I don't know if you would regret this after you regain your memories. If you regain your memories and this is the life that you choose, all you have to do is tell me. I promise you that I'll be gone from your
Avery wasn't there just to see Elliot, there was actually something wrong with him.On the way back to the hospital, Avery could feel her heart aching.When she went to look for the doctor in the afternoon, the doctor gave her a little black notebook that he found in the dustbin of Elliot's ward.Avery knew that he would surely throw away the medicine too.Avery could only crank up the music, and let all the pain flow through the music.As Avery approached a red light, she slowed down to a stop. A deep melodious voice rang throughout the car, "Going through the rain with you, you threw the umbrella away and hugged me in the rain. We loved each other despite our differences, because of you, I can be me, we are perfect for each other."Avery wanted to go through life's every challenge with him, but now, he had another woman by his side.Avery wanted to use music as an outlet to forget her pain, but instead, just one single line in the song was enough to make her break down, cryi
After that, Christopher left Elliot and Ruby to their own devices."Boss, personally I think the reason your father asked for you to return was to keep Elliot's power in check. I heard that Mr. Gould had told Elliot that if he can get back his money, he would give him some of the core business to manage," said one of Christopher's lackeys. When Christopher heard what his lackey said, he gritted his teeth in frustration. "Father still doesn't trust me!""Boss, you have to relax. I'm sure that if Mr. Gould asked you to come back, it means that he doesn't trust Mr. Foster also. Even if Mr. Foster is Mr. Gould's son-in-law, he will never be a Gould. That's why there is no way that Mr. Gould would give away his life's work to him," said the lackey."If father hands over too much of the company to Elliot Foster, there's nothing I can do! What is the stubborn old man thinking?" complained Christopher.The lackey fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Boss, we have to act now, whe
