"Don't underestimate yourself. You are different from anyone else to him," Avery said and came up with a perfect way to describe their relationship. "You are not brothers by blood, but are closer than real brothers."Avery's gentle eyes and voice had filled Ben with guilt. "You are right. We are close, so I can tell you for sure that he's only ever loved you. You are the only one he wants to grow old with."Avery was a bit confused as to why he was talking about such a thing. His words had somehow reminded her of Ruby. It was the first of May today and Ruby's baby was either about to be born or had already been born.Noticing the gloomy looks in her eyes, he asked guiltily, "what are you thinking about?""I wonder if Ruby has given birth," she whispered, but Ben heard her loud and clear.As though someone had cast a spell on him, he instinctively answered, "she did. She had a daughter."Avery didn't expect to get an answer from Ben. Instantly, her dazed mind sobered as she stared
Chapter 1626
Elliot was standing next to Ben, and when Ben moved away, he immediately walked over to grab the bouquet.Usually, people would be fighting over the bride's bouquet and Elliot did not want Shea's wedding to be an exception. He caught it and before anyone realized what had happened, he handed it directly to Ben.Ben refused it without hesitation, and the two were on the verge of getting into a fight over the bouquet.Hayden felt utterly humiliated. They were both adults and were acting more childish than elementary school students. He immediately went over in an attempt to get them to stop.Just then, Ben spotted him from the corner of his eyes and swiftly shoved the bouquet into Hayden's hands."Hayden, you are old enough now. Don't just focus on your studies and get a girlfriend already. I'm sure that dating won't interfere with your studies!" Ben deadpanned. "'Besides, if you have a girlfriend, she can help in taking care of your younger brother. Now that you have your Aunt Shea

"I'm worried that Hayden would find me annoying," Adrian said shyly."How could he possibly find you annoying? He doesn't like taking naps," said Avery, consoling Adrian, before turning back to Lilith. "Hayden is in Robert's room. Take Adrian there."Once they left, Avery was about to walk toward Ben, but he noticed her from afar and approached her.His head was spinning but he knew that Avery would find the opportunity to talk to him, so he waited in the hall. Worried that Elliot would find out that he was talking to Avery, he asked, "Where's Elliot?""He is drinking tea with the guests," she said. "What did Ruby say in her messages? Can you show them to me?"Ben knew she would ask to see it, so he took his phone out to show her. He had deleted the photo of Ruby's child and only showed Avery what Ruby said about her child getting sick and that she wanted Elliot to name her daughter."Elliot doesn't want to name the kid, so the name I sent was my idea," Ben explained. "Just think

"Avery, have you been in the bathroom this whole time?" He strode up to her and grabbed her by the arm. "Layla said she couldn't find you anywhere and was about to burst into tears."Avery realized how much he loved her once again at how worried he seemed."My stomach felt weird. Where's Layla?" She had completely forgotten about the time in the bathroom."She twisted her ankle while looking for you, so she is waiting in her room right now." Elliot took her to Layla's room. "What's wrong with your stomach?""I think it's because I ate something spicy at noon and my stomach couldn't handle it." She made up an excuse and asked, "How badly did she twist her ankle?""The doctor checked and said it's okay," he said. "Do you need some medicine?""It's fine. I'll just have something plain for dinner." Worried about Layla, she asked, "Why didn't Layla call me if she was looking for me?""You don't have your phone with you." Elliot took her phone out of his pocket. "She was looking aroun

Elliot stood outside the door for a while before going to look for Ben. Though Avery said that she stayed so long in the washroom because of a stomachache, he felt like there was more to the story.He saw Avery talking to Ben before the ceremony started, but he had no clue as to what they talked about.He found Ben's room and went in to find him asleep, snoring.An hour later, Ben woke up because he wanted to go to the bathroom but was startled by the sight of Elliot when he opened his eyes."Shit! Why are you here?" Ben rubbed his face in fright. "When did you come in? Why didn't you wake me up? Have you been watching me sleep?""What were you and Avery talking about? I don't trust that big mouth of yours," Elliot said.Ben sighed guiltily. "I need to use the bathroom. I didn't expect you to come all the way here for that... Why, is Avery upset at you?" He walked into the washroom but left the door open.Elliot went over to shut the door with a dark look on his face.Three min

"Avery was upset with me giving the child the Foster name. I guess she won't see me as a friend anymore." Ben was reminded of the angry look on Avery's face.Elliot could not respond to Ben's words. When he walked out of Ben's room, he felt like his entire body was on fire. Everything he had done so far seemed wrong. The pain never ceased, and the same thing would happen over and over again in the future."Elliot! What are you doing, standing here?" Mike walked out of the washroom and was confused by Elliot's dazed look. "Are you sad that Shea is getting married? No way! Are you that sentimental?"Elliot shoved Mike's hand off his shoulder. "Avery looked off and told me that she had a stomachache. She was lying to me. If I tell you that I'm sad because Shea is getting married, I'd be lying to you as well."The casual look on Mike's face was replaced by a serious look. "What is going on with the two of you? Today is Shea and Wesley's big day, can't you two keep it together? Aren't y

Chad noticed Elliot's expression darkening at the corner of his eyes and raised his arm to punch Mike in the face. "Have you sobered up now? This isn't a bar! This is Shea and Wesley's wedding!" Chad dragged Mike, who was stunned, toward the guest rooms.After Chad took Mike away, Wesley's parents hurried over to Elliot and asked, "Elliot, are you okay? Why were you fighting?"Elliot shook his head. "I'm fine. He drank too much, and it was getting to his head.""They did drink quite a lot in the afternoon," Wesley's father said. "You've been busy the whole day. You should go get some rest.""Yeah."Half an hour later, Layla woke up, and Avery took her to the hall for some fruit.Wesley walked past her and called out to her, "Mike and Elliot got into a fight about half an hour ago."Avery was confused. Elliot had only just got into a fight with Ben earlier that morning, and now he had fought with Mike as well. How was the wedding supposed to carry on peacefully?"Where is Elliot
Chapter 1632
Avery was shocked by his words."Elliot, I've never wanted you to kill that child. That thought has never occurred to me, past or present." She grabbed onto his hands tightly. "I won't let you commit murder.""I know you won't make me do it..." Elliot swallowed hard and stared at her with reddened eyes. "Avery, I will do anything for you because I know that you love me above everything.""Of course I do, Elliot. I was just upset this morning. I've always known that she would give birth and raise her child, before coming to look for you. I should have come to terms with that long ago, and it's not okay that I keep getting mad over it," she whispered."Avery, thank you for accepting me.""You don't have to thank me, Elliot, because you love me just as much," she said confidently. "No one can pull us apart. I am going to spend the rest of my life with you, and in the end, we will be buried next to one another.""I feel the same," he agreed affectionately as he pulled her into his ar
