"You could come to the office to look for me! You look silly standing next to the car." Avery smiled. "I thought you were trying to look cool. I was wondering since when you were such a show-off."Elliot said, "I was afraid that I would disrupt the office if I entered.""Everyone is off work. No one would care about being orderly. Furthermore, you're the big boss of Tate Industries. Why are you so afraid to come here?""This is your territory, so stop laughing at me.""Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. But I'm serious. You don't have to pick me up every day after work. I can drive on my own, or get the bodyguard to send me." Avery leaned her head on his shoulder and lightly sighed. "There are so many things to do at the end of the year! All kinds of miscellaneous things. Year-end reports, parties, future work plans… Usually, when I'm not in the office, no one ever looks for me. Now that I'm back to work, everyone comes to report to me. I was afraid that I was not that important.

"Honey, I might be nervous because I've been out of the workforce for so long. I'll slowly get back in shape." Avery took a deep breath and quickly calmed herself down. "Right, Leah sent me a message today. She said that she has registered her marriage with George. They had it registered yesterday."Elliot asked, "Are they planning to have a wedding?""They haven't said anything about a wedding. She told me that George had to take a few days off because her parents are coming over. She and George have to spend time with her parents," Avery said with a smile. "Did George not tell you? He must be afraid of you."Elliot had not heard anything about this.He looked at his phone but did not see any messages or calls from George. Could George really be afraid of him? Whenever he spoke to George on the phone, George did not sound afraid of him."Since Leah told me about it, that's the same thing as telling you directly. You have to approve George's leave!" Avery said. "I never would have

He should have kept his mouth shut! Elliot loved Layla so much. How could he possibly let her marry someone somewhere far from him? From Elliot's perspective, no man on Earth was good enough for Layla! Elliot only comforted George that way a moment ago because he had never thought of Layla being married far away from him!"Mr. Foster, I-I'm sorry. I misspoke," George immediately apologized when he heard Elliot's breathing grow heavier.Elliot thought about how Avery teased him on the way home a moment ago. Not only was Chad a little afraid of him, but George was, too.He did not want the people by his side to be afraid of him.How embarrassing would it be if all his staff went to look for Avery for every single thing in the future? "Don't worry about it. Layla is still young. I haven't thought about this problem yet." Elliot pretended to be calm and said, "Your parents-in-law are still staying at the hotel?"George said, "Yes! Since Leah and I have already requested leave,

Leah said, "Then stop eating! He's asking you to have a meal with him. It's not just about food!"Mrs. Kennedy said, "Okay, I understand. I'll get your father to agree to it.""Hmm! We'll talk when we meet." Leah hung up.In the courtyard, Elliot had also hung up. Since he had asked Mr. Kennedy to have dinner with him outside, he had to leave the house."I'll come with you all." Avery took her bag and walked over to Elliot.Elliot said, "Didn't you say that you were tired from work? Why don't you stay at home and rest.""I'm not tired now." Avery was spirited. "Have you chosen the restaurant? You should quickly make a reservation! It's dinnertime now. The restaurant might be full."Elliot returned George's phone to him before taking his own phone out to make a reservation.After making the reservation, they got into their respective cars and headed to the restaurant."George, talk less later. Eat more," Leah instructed when she got in the car with him. "I think Mr. Foster want

Leah had never suspected that Elliot would be the type of person who could lie so naturally, without any break in their expression. He did it so smoothly!George continued sending messages to Leah, coming clean about his finances.[I did, indeed, put some money with Mr. Foster. But, before we got registered, I got the money back from him. That money is all in the card that I gave you.][Hmm… Your boss is only saying this so my parents won't look down on you. He is quite nice for doing this. We'll listen to him and not expose him.][I know. I have to listen to him first before listening to you.]Leah could not help but smile. She had felt so strongly about marrying George because she liked his straightforward and open character. Sometimes, he was so direct that it made him seem a little naive.Before she had met him, she had never seen a person who would express everything they felt on their face. Being with George meant that she never had to guess what he was thinking. She was re

"George!" Elliot realized what the situation was and immediately called out to him.When George heard Elliot calling him, he instantly looked up. "Mr. Foster, what happened?"Elliot said, "Come out with me for a while."George immediately got up and followed Elliot out.When they left, Mrs. Kennedy immediately questioned her daughter, "Leah, George is unwilling to let us stay at his place, right? If he has any difficulties, he can tell us. He doesn't need to lower his head all the way to the floor. How awkward! Your father and I can't afford to be shamed by this."Leah was almost in tears, yet she could not tell them that Elliot was lying to them."George is not that sort of person. Mom, why don't you two stay in his mansion? He has renovated it quite nicely. He hires someone to clean it every week. It's clean…" Leah continued fervently, "His mansion isn't too far off, either. It's at the Third Ring. It's less than an hour's drive from the hotel you two are staying at!""I'm not

"She won't listen to me, but she'll listen to you. Could you bear to watch our daughter leave us? You wouldn't want to and you're not willing to either, so you have to instill this idea in her. When she looks for a boyfriend in the future, she should not look for people abroad. Not even people from a different city.""Honey, don't overthink this." Avery patted Elliot on the shoulder. "She is still young. Marriage is still a long way off.""Honey, you give me peace of mind." Elliot felt much better."Haha! Being worried about this is pointless. Sometimes, the more you're afraid of something, the more likely it'll happen. So, before things happen, it's best not to think about them.""Hmm…"In the neighboring city, after the old woman brought Irene home, Irene took a candy out of her bag and passed it to her."The teacher gave it to me."The old woman accepted the candy and asked, "Why did she give you candy? Did she give some to the other children as well?""Because no one played

[Hahaha! That is quite good for George. You've helped us in the past. George is very diligent in his work as well. We feel especially assured that he is the one protecting Layla. If you have any problems in the future, just let us know. There's no need to be too polite with us.][Alright, Avery. Go to rest early.][Hmm. You too.]Avery was prepared to go to bed after she was done texting.Elliot's voice echoed behind her."You're still awake?" Elliot was not asleep yet. Even with his eyes closed, he could see the glare from the light coming from her side, so he opened his eyes."Leah sent me a text. She said that her mother told her that Natalie has come to Avonsville." Avery turned her body to face Elliot. "Even though Natalie has no power now, we still have to be careful. Since she missed her chance the last time, who knows how twisted she has become?""I'll send somebody to keep an eye on her tomorrow." Elliot dispelled her concerns easily. "She was in Aryadelle, and she coul
