Chapter 1627
"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

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

One week later, Ben departed from the Aryadelle airport and arrived in Ylore without informing anyone. He did not report to Elliot his travel this time, but when he applied for leave, Elliot did not ask any questions.Both knew what was happening from their conversation during Shea's wedding.Ben strode out of the airport and a person instantly approached him.A middle-aged man asked politely, "Are you, Mr. Schaffer?"Ben nodded."Miss Gould has asked me to pick you up," the man said. "Please follow me."Seeing how respectful the man appeared to be, Ben followed him.He had wanted to get in touch with Ruby after arriving, but she had kept asking when he would be in Ylore, so he had provided her with his flight information before boarding the flight.Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a mansion.Ben got out of the car and the nanny immediately came out to greet him, before explaining, "Miss Gould is still recovering from giving birth so she can't go out. Please und

Ben's mind snapped back from the shock. "Ruby, Layla looks like Avery, not Elliot.""I saw Layla's photo before, and I think she looks like Elliot as well," Ruby argued. "How else would you explain why my daughter looks like Layla?"Ben was rendered speechless. He did not know what to say or how he could begin to explain the situation."The doctor says that she might grow up to look more and more like me," Ruby continued. "I don't really want that, though. I want her to look more like Elliot.""Ruby, about the name I gave this baby... Why don't you change it up a bit?" Ben glanced at Ruby. "I came here to see the baby and also to tell you what Elliot thinks."Ruby waited quietly for what he was about to say."Elliot will not acknowledge this baby as his child, nor does he want her to have the Foster name, so you should name her Gould instead!" Ben stared directly at her. "Ivy Gould sounds great, too."Ruby's eyes reddened. "Do I have to change it?""I advise that you do. Trust
