Chapter 682
Elliot strode over to the side of the bed, looming over Avery. "I can settle my own needs."Avery was instantly relieved and the tightness in her chest loosened."Why don't you go home then?"Two people squeezed together in bed was a lot less comfortable than sleeping alone. "I don't feel like it." Elliot sat down on the edge of the bed, and he studied Avery. "This lesson was very memorable."This would not have happened if he had known what every part of her body looked like.Avery could not guess his thoughts, so she said calmly, "It's in the past.""I want to truly learn my lesson." Elliot's eyes darkened as he said, "Ben told me that the woman in the video said I couldn't satisfy you. I should've realized it then. When have I never satisfied you? When have I never given in to your needs? I was careless.""You're not careless. It's just your vulnerable masculine pride at work," mocked Avery. "So what if I said you can't satisfy me?"Elliot gazed at her provocative dainty f

"Don't you mean that I should stop talking?" Elliot retorted."Was that what I meant?" Avery asked."It was," Elliot said without question."I think you came over just to pick a fight with me." Avery lifted her leg and kicked his side. "Don't stick so close to me.""I'm about to fall off the bed," Elliot protested in a muffled voice.Avery sat up and reached out to feel around the space next to him.Elliot pulled her into his arms and said, "I'll give you everything you want, Avery. What else do you want? Tell me…""I don't want anything else." Avery felt the heat from his body. She struggled to escape his clutches, but Elliot hugged her tightly and refused to let go."I want to hug you to sleep." He gently lay her down on the bed, then said, "Avery, as long as you and the baby are healthy, I won't ask for anything else.""Is that so?" Avery's body heated up as her heart began to race. "Did you become more thick-skinned after you turned the lights off?"Elliot turned the ligh

Chelsea felt like someone had rammed a rod into her heart and was in the process of shattering it to pieces. "I know that it has been proven that Avery is innocent, but how could they get together in just one night?" thought Tammy. "Did Elliot go looking for Avery? Is it because he cares about the baby, or is it because he cares about her?"Chelsea was too afraid to guess.She felt ridiculed and hurt. She looked back upon the last three years and knew that she had been living the life of an idiot. She no longer held out the hope of being with Elliot, but she did not want any other woman to have him either.She found Wanda's number and dialed it."Did you find the people you were supposed to help me find?""Do you want to act now?" Wanda asked. "Do you have a plan?""Just find the people I need. You don't have to care about anything else," Chelsea responded. "I can't take this for another second!""Okay, let me make some calls. I'll get back to you later," Wanda said, then wa

"I haven't. Did you have anything in mind?" Elliot asked.Avery's heart tightened in her chest, and she hesitantly said, "Rowan Tate."Elliot put down the menu. His hawk-like eyes bore into her as he said, "Are you serious?""Both Hayden and Layla have my last name. The child would be confused if he had a different last name." Avery's cheeks flushed as she shared her thoughts. "Of course, I would respect your opinion.""If you're worried that the baby would be confused, then you could just change Hayden and Layla's last names. I don't mind them taking my last name."Elliot's response was so casual that it almost felt like he was joking.He ordered his food, then handed the menu to the waiter.The waiter confirmed their order and walked away."Since you don't agree, then let's just name him Rowan Foster!" said Avery, compromising. She was happy enough with the custody of the baby."I'm not disagreeing." Elliot raised his brows and looked at her with fascination. "Let the baby

Avery was sorting the baby's clothes in the master bedroom of Starry River Villa.Tammy was sitting leisurely next to her and watching her tidy away all the clothes."Do you seriously plan to raise the baby yourself, Avery? That would be exhausting!"Avery folded each piece of clothing, one by one, and said gently, "That's true. My mother was the one who helped me with the kids before. I've never really had to go through that kind of exhaustion.""That's right. Your mother's gone, and I bet you wouldn't feel secure leaving the baby with the nanny," Tammy said. "You said Elliot is moving in. Is that for real?""That's what he said." Avery placed the clothes in the closet, then said, "I'll let him do what he wants.""If that's the case, then how would that be any different from a normal married couple?!" Tammy exclaimed, then teased, "Oh, I guess there is a difference. The difference is that he's moving into your house and not the other way around."The mention of Elliot made Aver

Cole could clearly see that the areas on Nora's face that the liquid had touched were turning red, and they began festering.He took a few steps back in fear, then stammered, "Don't be scared, Nora! I'll… I'll call an ambulance right away!"The other customers in the restaurant scurried away in horror, and the restaurant's staff hurried over to check on the situation.Their faces turned pale with terror when they saw Nora's face.Nora's face was covered with tears. Through her blurred vision, she saw the fear in the eyes of the people that stared at her. She removed her trembling hands from her face and looked at them…There was blood… There were also what looked like pieces of flesh…As if she had gone insane, she let out a blood-curdling scream.…Avery was eating ice cream when she got Cole's phone call.The restaurant's food was great, and their ice cream was even better.Avery always watched what she ate, but the ice cream was so good that she could not help but take a f

When Avery glanced at her phone, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she answered the call."Avery!" Elliot's roar rang through the phone.Avery was taken aback, then asked, "What's wrong?""You're alright?" He sounded surprised to hear her voice. "You're alright, Avery!""I'm fine. Were you hoping something happened to me?" Avery teased. "Who told you I wasn't alright?""Someone saw you at a restaurant and said you were in trouble." Elliot's voice returned to its usual calm. "It's a good thing it wasn't you.""Oh. If that's the case, the woman must look a lot like me… Could she have been Nora?" Avery had deliberately said this.Elliot was not interested in this at all. "I don't care who it was, as long as it wasn't you."Avery hummed in response. "Where are you right now?" Elliot asked after two seconds of silence."I'm eating with Tammy.""Did you bring your bodyguard?" he asked."I did," Avery said as she glanced at the bodyguard standing nearby."Go home once you're done

After hearing Chelsea's accusation, Elliot glanced at Avery.She was in the middle of telling the hair stylist the length she wanted cut off."I suggest you file a police report immediately and let them handle it." He walked out of the salon with his phone and said in a low and ominous voice, "So what if Avery actually did it? If I were her, I'd be a lot crueler."Chelsea felt lightheaded.She did not expect this kind of answer from Elliot."For now, I don't have evidence to prove that the person who impersonated Avery was your cousin, but that doesn't mean I don't know who was behind it," growled Elliot. "I won't show you mercy once I have proof, Chelsea."Forget disfigurement, he would not feel bad even if Nora was dead!The way he saw it, even if Nora had died a hundred deaths, it would still not be enough!Chelsea hung up out of fear.She might have really messed up this time!She recalled Ben's warning.She actually was gullible enough to think that she understood Ellio
