Avery picked up the call, and a male voice from the other end of the line that said, "Avery Tate, there's something I have to tell you."The caller was Nick.Avery sat up and said, "What is it?""Do you still want to see Elliot?" asked Nick."Of course. Are you going to help me?" asked Avery."Haha! Why are you so hard-headed? He already forgot everything about you, why can't you just forget about him?" asked Nick."How he treats me is his problem. I have to make sure to do everything in my power to make sure that I don't regret this in the future. I'm sure you didn't call me just to laugh at my predicament," said Avery."Of course not, I have better things to do than laugh at you. Ruby's birthday is coming up in a few days, the Goulds are going to throw a birthday party for her. Are you scared of the sea?" asked Nick."No? Why?" asked Avery."The party is scheduled to be held on a yacht. Gary Gould invited me, but I don't feel like going," explained Nick."I can go in your p
"Nick, I know that no matter what you say, you still care about us. Everybody has their ideal life, mine is to spend my remaining life with Elliot. Even if something were to happen to him, I won't die with him, I will find some way to save him," promised Avery."Tsk!""I might need your help by then," said Avery."Don't you dare involve me!" said Nick as he hung up the call.Avery put the phone down and laid back down.Avery should be worried about Elliot's situation after hearing all of that. But to her surprise, Avery was more worried about Elliot falling in love with Ruby.According to Nick, all men would like a woman like Ruby, beautiful, petite, and adept at making men around her happy. Avery did not know if Elliot would be able to refuse her advances.Before Avery could think of anything else, a sudden shooting pain shot through her head and she could only curl into a ball.Avery knew that her condition was worsening, she could tell that just by the rate of her headache.
Avery took the dress from her bodyguard, and after looking at the dress, she could not help but frown.Even if this wasn't something that she would normally wear, she decided that maybe she should just listen to her bodyguard's advice.Avery did not know what would make Elliot regain his past memories, she would do anything if there was even a slim chance of it working.At the same time, at Aryadale, Ben and Lilltih were sending Leon and Helen off.Both Leon and Helen were actually unwilling to leave at first. After all, Lilith was pregnant with Ben's child and they wanted to spend their time with her until she gives birth to their grandchild.However, Ben was adamant that the both of them leave.The reason he was so adamant about his parents leaving was because of how good his parents were treating Lillith, Ben was scared that Lillith might get too pampered.For example, the first day he took Lillith back to his home, his mother already brought her out shopping and paid for eve
"If you aren't here to bury your father, what are you here for?" asked Ben."You impregnated my sister, what do you think I'm here for? Don't think that just because Elliot isn't here, you can do whatever you want with our sister! You have to marry her!" said Peter, exasperated.Lilith did not understand what her brother was saying."I understand, if it's money you want, just name the price, I can give you money. As for marriage, your sister doesn't want to marry me, and neither do I want to marry your sister," said Ben.Peter was outraged when he heard this, "Lillith, are you mad? Do you not know how rich he is? If you are pregnant with his kid, why are you not marrying him? You can't find anybody that is richer than he is.""Just tell him how much money you want," replied Lilith."I think there's something wrong with your brain. I need to talk to you in private," said Peter to Ben.Ben turned around and saw how embarrassed Lillith was, his heart instantly went soft, he said to
"Why is she here?" asked Ruby.Ruby saw how gorgeously Avery was dressed and could feel her heart fill with envy.Before seeing Avery in full makeup, Ruby had never felt that Avery could compete with her in the looks department.But after seeing Avery today, Ruby could not help but feel that she seemed like a little girl next to the elegance and maturity that Avery exuded so effortlessly.Ruby was, of course, unhappy with this.Elliot did not reply to Ruby, all of his attention was on Avery."Ruby, happy birthday. This is Nick's gift," said Avery as she handed the present in hand to Ruby."Nick? Nick told you to come?" asked Ruby as she took the present from Avery."Yes, Nick told me to come in his place," replied Avery."Why do you know Nick and why did he ask you to come in his place?" questioned Ruby as she passed the present to one of the workers who was standing beside her."That is a long story, are you sure that you have the time now to listen to me tell you about it?"
Elliot could not focus on the party, so he tried to excuse himself from the guests, "I don't think I've seen Christopher, I have to go to the ballroom to see if he's there."After that, Elliot left the guests in big strides.At the same time that Elliot was turning into the ballroom, Avery was walking hurriedly out of the ballroom, and both of them walked straight into each other.The contents of Elliot's glass instantly spilled all over Avery's dress.After looking through the guests in the ballroom, Avery could not see Christopher, that was why she hurriedly walked out and straight into Elliot.Of course, Avery had no idea that Elliot actually came to the ballroom to look for her.Just as Elliot didn't know that the reason Avery was hurrying was to return back to the upper deck to make sure that nothing bad happened to him."You spilled your drink on my dress," said Avery.The waiter walked over and Elliot placed the empty glass on the waiter's tray and took the towel off of
It wasn't long before Ruby discovered that Elliot was missing. He was nowhere to be found, he wasn't in the ballroom, nor was he on the deck.The thing that worried her was that Avery was also missing.Ruby could feel her heart thumping in her chest, were they meeting right under her nose?Ruby could not help but feel that with how beautiful Avery looked today, anything was possible.Ruby immediately took out her phone and dialed Elliot's phone, but nobody picked up her call.Ruby started to panic and sent out people to look for Elliot.Ruby didn't have to wait long before one of the staff members came back to Ruby and said, "Ms. Gould, about twenty minutes ago, Mr. Foster accidentally spilled his drink on one of the female guests, after that, both of them were seen going into the guest room, probably to clean up the stain." Ruby immediately asked the staff, "Was the female guest wearing a bright red dress?"After hearing the staff's answer, Ruby could feel tears slowly buil
He was one of Nick's bodyguards.Avery looked at him and asked, "Do I look like somebody who smokes?" "I just think you look like somebody who could use a smoke," replied the bodyguard.Avery laughed and extended her hand, "If so, pass me one." The bodyguard passed her one of the cigarettes and lit it up for her, "Nick called me just now and told me to go back." "Alright, you can go now! I'll go back on my own," replied Avery as she tried to mimic the bodyguard and took a hit from the lit cigarette,The moment she inhaled the smoke, she started to cough vigorously.The bodyguard laughed and said, "Nobody takes such a large hit on their first try." Avery was upset that he was laughing at her, "I would like to see how good your first time with a scalpel would be." "Haha! Are you mad? Things between you and Elliot Foster seemed to be improving at a lightning pace," said the bodyguard as he noticed the hickey on her neck."No. After finishing, he just acted as if nothing had
