"My sleeping pills, too," Elliot said through bloodshot eyes."Is your insomnia that bad?" Avery ruffled her disheveled hair. "How did you sleep last night? What about the night before? Don't tell me you haven't gotten a good night's sleep at all?"As she spoke, she pulled back the covers and got out of bed.Since Elliot could not sleep without his pills, then she had to go buy some got him."It started last night." Elliot did not want Avery to worry, so he said casually, "It's probably because I've been so happy the past couple of days that I keep thinking about Shea.""I know Shea's passing was a huge blow to you, but we need to move forward in life. If Shea was still a live, she wouldn't want you to be sad." Avery put on her coat, then said, "Do you remember the name of the pills you take? Or should I follow my own judgement?""I'll go with you," Elliot said as he got out of bed."It's fine. Lie back down," Avery said as she pushed him back down on his back. "The drugstores w

Elliot's pills took effect half an hour later, and he fell into a deep slumber.On the other hand, Avery was no longer tired.She thought deeply about all the things that happened between them since Elliot arrived.She had spent every day in bliss. Not only was she sleeping well, but her appetite had also improved.She had thought things were the same for him.She did not expect that he would suffer from insomnia.She wanted to help him, but there was nothing else she could do other than buy medication for him.In the days that followed, she could treat him better and love him more.If one day was not enough, then she would spend the next month or year to finally fill the emptiness he felt from the loss of Shea.It was ten the next morning by the time Elliot woke up.The moment he stepped out of the room, Avery immediately led him to the dining room."Let's go out after you eat." She had arranged the entire day's schedule. "We'll take the kids along with us."Elliot glanced

Avery witnessed the entire thing."Come here, Hayden," she said as she tried to break the awkwardness.Hayden hurried over to his mother's side."You get over here too, Elliot!" Avery called out when she noticed Elliot was in a daze.Once they entered the studio, the photographer greeted them warmly."I can't believe you already have three children at such a young age, Miss Tate," exclaimed the photographer with an expression of envy and shock. "You have such a great relationship with your husband, but I never heard any news about your marriage!"Avery felt embarrassed and said, "We're not husband and wife at the moment, but it won't stop us from taking a family portrait."The photographer sensed that she had misspoken, then quickly apologized and changed the subject."I've got some samples here, Miss Tate. Please take a look. Otherwise, you can tell me if you have a theme in mind."Avery looked through the samples, then let Layla and Hayden choose."I think they're all prett

"Mr. Foster isn't lovestruck, he's just got a lot of love to give!" Chad said. "Not only is he generous with his money when it comes to Avery, he's also generous with his love! It isn't like there aren't more beautiful women around him, but he's never given any of them the time of day.""That's because women who are more beautiful than Avery aren't as capable as she is, and the ones who are more capable than her aren't as young and beautiful." Mike began to sing Avery praises. "If I was into women, I'd fall in love with Avery too."Chad gave him a kick. He had only praised him a little bit, and he already had his head up in the clouds."You can't take a joke! Avery and your boss are going to remarry. Once they're back in the country, I won't have a place in this home anymore." Mike had on a pitiful face, but he was in a good mood. "I guess I'll just have to move in with you then!""Are you sure they're going to remarry?" Chad had spent the past few days taking care of his mother at

"I'm looking at photos of me and your father. Would you like to see them?" Avery asked.Hayden immediately turned to look out the window and said, "I don't.""I won't look at them either then." Avery put her phone down, then turned to her son and said, "Thank you for today, Hayden. I suggested taking family portraits because we haven't taken one since your grandmother passed away. There's also another reason."Hayden withdrew his gaze from the window.He was willing to listen to his mother. No matter what Avery said, he could take her seriously."Last night, your father told me that he's been depending on medication to fall asleep ever since Shea passed away. He didn't bring his pills, so I went out to get some for him last night. He isn't perfect, but neither am I. I've thought about it seriously, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him."Avery was informing Hayden that she would be living with Elliot in the future.This was something that Hayden had already expected.

The person texting Avery probably did not expect Elliot to be right next to her and was shocked for a moment.Avery composed herself, then texted: [You said you're Chelsea Tierney's cousin. Why should I believe you?][I really am her cousin! My name is Ruby Sullivan. Call and ask Chelsea if you don't believe me. You have her number, right?][I don't. Send me her number.]Avery had Chelsea's number.

Trust Capital was indeed wealthy, but Avery's company was not some lousy company!If Elliot truly was someone who cared about profits, then he would not have spent all of that money on her over the years.There would also be no reason to waste so much time on herAvery believed that, as long as Elliot was willing, he could find the richest woman in the world and marry her for the biggest profit.However, he never did anything like that.

As Elliot gazed at Avery's determined face, he more or less confirmed that she knew about him and Chelsea.She was fine when they went out yesterday. If she had found out the day before, she would not have happily brought him out to take the family portraits.Someone must have told her about it after he fell asleep the night before."I'll leave tomorrow, then." Elliot did not know how to answer Avery's question. All he could do was go along with her.He would rather leave a day late than explain the real reason he was returning to Aryadelle.Avery let go of his hand, but her eyes continued to stay on him as she said coldly, "When did you and Chelsea make up, Elliot?""I haven't seen her in a long time," Elliot answered truthfully.What those words meant, was that he did not make up with her."I see… You didn't see her after she got hurt?""I didn't." Elliot hung his head slightly. Avery's gaze made him feel like he was enduring the most severe punishment."Do you like her, th
