Chapter 1769
Layla had told him that she intended to be away for a month and a half. He had told her the max she could be away for was half a month.He had not yelled at her. He had only informed her of how long he was comfortable letting her out of his sight. Layla had cried endlessly and thrown many tantrums.After sending Shea back to the Brooks, Elliot drove home.When he reached home, the snow had stopped. The courtyard was covered in a layer of white, adding some brightness to the night.Avery liked building snowmen. If she was here, she would surely pull him out to the courtyard to build snowmen.This thought suddenly came to him, unbidden. Elliot could not help but furrow his brows.Entering the mansion, he stood by the door to change his shoes.Mrs. Cooper walked over and said, "Master Elliot, Layla has left. Eric came to pick her up an hour ago.""Did the bodyguard go with her?""Yes," Mrs. Cooper said. "I'm worried that if Layla is allowed to be away for so long, she will just g

Avery had indeed not thought about this problem. She studied for a doctoral degree so that she could go to school together with Hayden.For the past two years, she had been living a very fulfilling life. It was also very tiring, so she was going to rest for a while next."Avery, you're the only person I know who took two years to graduate! I really envy you!" Someone raised their glass to her. She immediately raised her glass and clinked it to theirs."I wish all of you a smooth graduation too.""We'll be needing your luck!"…Al fresco dining in the summer night in the light breeze made everyone rather drunk after they had a few glasses of wine. At ten at night, Mike drove over to pick Avery up. Her alcohol tolerance was bad. She only had half a bottle before she started talking drunk."Mike… is it daytime already? Today, I… have an important matter…" Avery looked up and squinted her eyes. She could not even tell what day or year it was, whether it was day or night."Your su

However, seeing how she was still in a good state, Hayden was not that worried.After Hayden returned to his room, Mike watched Avery as she finished her drink, and he helped her to her room. Once, she was in he left her in peace. After Avery drank the sobering concoction, her stomach felt much better.She lay in bed and could not move. It was as if her body was falling apart. Forget about it. She was not going to take a shower that night. She would do it the next day.At that though, she took off her shoes and put her legs on the bed.The light on the nightstand was still on. She wanted to switch it off, but her body felt like jelly. She had no strength at all. She felt as if she could sleep the very next second.She was just going to sleep that way! After thinking about that, she groggily fell asleep.In the middle of the night, she woke up with the urge to pee. She immediately got out of bed and headed to the washroom.A moment later, she returned to the bed once more. The

What Avery said made Mike's hand tremble a little. The phone in his hands fell to the floor with a clang."Ah… f*ck!" Mike immediately picked his phone up. It was not a surprise that he was killed off in his game.Throwing his phone aside, he looked at Avery once more."Are you really planning to return to Aryadelle? Why did you suddenly have this idea? I want to know what you're thinking."Mike was stunned because, for the past two years, her friends in Aryadelle had often been asking her to head back to Aryadelle, but not once had she ever wavered from her decision to not return.However, at that moment, she suddenly wanted to return to Aryadelle. It was most likely not only because she had graduated."Every year, I could only see Layla during winter and summer breaks. Robert, on the other hand… I haven't seen him for almost three years. The video calls don't count," Avery choked up a little. "If I return to Aryadelle, I would sure be able to see Robert.""Oh, so you miss your

Mike raised his eyebrow. "What do you think?""It's good that he didn't." Avery finished eating the sandwich. She took a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth. "The thing about me saying I want to head back to Aryadelle, don't tell others yet. I haven't decided!""Okay, then take your time. It's not in a rush. Even if you're not heading back to Aryadelle now, Layla is coming to see you in a few days." Mike got up from the sofa with his phone in his hand. "I'll make a move first.""Hmm."After Mike left, Avery sat on the sofa and slowly drank her milk. She felt that her brain was overheating a little. If she really wanted to head back to Aryadelle, she needed to calm down first before doing anything.After breakfast, she returned to her bedroom. She lay down in bed and took her phone.The top news of the day was Netimail shutting down.Everyone was showing off the picture of their first and last email in their Netimail online. Avery found it quite interesting, so she looked at many o

Lilith was amused by the term supermodel."Avery, thank you for giving me the title of a supermodel. To be honest, I don't really want to return to Aryadelle. You and Hayden are here. I particularly don't want to leave the both of you.""Hayden and I may not stay here forever. Just return first and see how the environment for your work in the country is. Didn't you say you won't stop working even if you were to marry Ben?" Avery said."Hmm. My agent, Jaz, can't go to Aryadelle with me. She introduced me to her friend there, so I'll first go and have a try. Jaz said that she'll save a spot for me in the company here. If my work in Aryadelle isn't smooth sailing, she would welcome me back at any time. The people around me are super nice to me. I'm really very touched… All of this is because you and Hayden supported me through everything."Tears welled up in Lilith's eyes as she was moved."Lilith, all of the success that you've gotten are the results of your effort. The person that

"Early retirement or one week leave. You pick." It was not that Elliot did not approve of Ben taking a leave. He only felt that half a month was too long.Their current workload was heavy. Ben was not thinking about helping to offload some pressure, but instead he was thinking of going off to pursue his woman. How could Elliot feel good about that?Not to mention that Lilith was his sister. Ever since he had divorced Avery, Lilith had firmly chosen to stand on Avery's side. She no longer acknowledged him as her brother.Ben pursed his lips. He found it hard to choose.Sometimes, he had thought of retiring early. After all, he had worked almost all his life. The wealth he had now could support his early retirement."Why don't…" Ben was about to mention early retirement to him."Don't even think about early retirement." Elliot never expected that Ben would have thoughts of retiring early. "One week's leave. You can't have a day more."Ben breathed heavily. "Why are you going back

At Bridgedale, Avery and Adrian sent Lilith to the airport. After Lilith passed through security, they came out of the airport."Adrian, I'm afraid that Lilith won't return that quickly. Do you want to move over to my place to stay?" Avery asked, "I have many empty rooms and I'm usually home alone."Adrian shook his head. "I don't want to move around. I can look after myself.""Adrian, I don't think you need to be cared for. It's more like someone you could talk to," Avery explained, "I know now that not only do you know how to do chores, but you can also cook. You don't need a nanny anymore.""Lilith hired a teacher for me, he is staying in the same neighborhood. My teacher is quite old. He has a lot of time every day, so he often comes to look for me," Adrian's eyes sparkled when he said that. "I like learning how to draw from him.""Hmm. Then are you learning with him today?""We have agreed to meet in the afternoon.""Okay, then let's have lunch together and I'll send you ba
