Chapter 98
"Avery! Have you forgotten whose wife you are?!" Elliot clenched her struggling little hands tightly and pinned them above her head. "I told you to stay away from Charlie! Don't challenge my patience!"It had been a while since Avery had seen him this irritable and crazy. He looked so weak, but his strength was frightening. She did not dare resist him, as the more she fought, the crazier he became. Avery lied down quietly for the sake of the children she carried within her. She waited for him to vent his dissatisfaction. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Elliot's burning gaze watched Avery's face. His fingers rubbed her cheeks, finally slipping from her eyebrows to behind her ears."What do you want me to say? What do you want to hear? I'll say it for you." She said.The anger in Elliot's heart was instantly extinguished."Avery, am I really unforgivable?" Elliot's voice was hoarse and soft, his fingers sieved through her hair to gently clasp her in his palms. His body was a li
Chapter 99
Elliot slept soundly though he sweated. His temperature was normal, and as Avery was exhausted, she lay down beside him and fell into a deep slumber. Avery woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon, and she felt a pang of hunger. She got out of bed, changed her clothes, and came out of the room, just to find the bodyguard and the driver sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. As for Laura, she was sitting in the kitchen, fiddling with her phone. The scene appeared calm… however, she was conflicted about how they seemed to be treating her house as their own. "Avery, are you hungry?" Laura placed down her phone and brought out the leftover food. Avery walked to the living room and said to the driver, "Your boss should be waking up soon. Go back and get a set of clean clothes."The driver immediately stood. "Okay."After the driver left, Avery turned off the TV and said to the bodyguard, "My mom has a migraine, and she can't stand loud noises. If you're staying here

An hour later, the driver arrived with all of Elliot's necessities. He had even brought a sumptuous dinner. Mrs. Cooper used lunch boxes and thermal insulation containers to pack dinners for at least three people."Miss Tate, this is Mr. Elliot's medicine. Thank you for your hard work tonight!" The driver carefully handed the medicine to Avery and then got off work.Avery sat on the sofa, looking at Elliot's things on the table, lost in thought.Was she too soft-hearted?! She should have driven him away by noon! That way, it would not be so troublesome!Suddenly, a coughing sound came from the bedroom. Avery sighed, took Elliot's medicine, and pushed the bedroom door open. It was just the two of them at home now, so she left the door open to ventilate the room. Elliot had showered and changed into clean clothes. However, the bed was a mess."Do you have any hot water?" Elliot was a little thirsty. Avery put the medicine on the bedside table and went out to get him warm water

Moreover, there was only one bed here. Since Elliot was sick, Avery planned to give him the bed. After taking a shower, she came to the sofa and sat down. She thought of spending the night on the couch tonight. However, Elliot also came over half an hour later. As he had slept the entire afternoon, it was understandable that Elliot was not sleepy, and Avery could not just force him to go to sleep. On the other side of the video call, the technical department manager said, "You've been dragging this, causing me to lose sleep for a week! Avery, let's have a heart-to-heart talk!" The head of the development department chimed in, "I also have insomnia every day! Not only can I not sleep well, but I can't even eat!" "I've been losing more and more hair lately! My hair was never much to begin with!" The person in charge of the personnel department followed.These old men were just telling sob stories to force Avery to decide immediately. Elliot frowned and directly snatched Avery's

Avery said solemnly, "Elliot, I'll not accept your money, so don't say such a thing again.""Why don't you want my money? Is my money any different from the money of others?" he sounded gloomy. Avery hesitated before answering, "I don't want anyone's money, and I don't want to depend on others." Avery's words made Elliot speechless. "I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me." Avery rolled over, turning her back to him. Looking at her slender back, Elliot covered her with the blanket, but she removed it immediately. "I'll use mine, and you'll use yours. Don't touch me."There were two blankets on the bed, and Elliot was covered with a thicker one, whereas Avery used a lightweight one. However, the heater in the room was turned on, so the space was warm."You should use the thick one, and I'll use the thin one," Elliot said kindly. He was relatively weak and felt cold, so he thought that she was cold too."Are you trying to give me a heatstroke?" Avery said bluntly, "Go to slee

"My son has never lived in such a harsh environment since he was born… Never! What type of karma is this! It's all my fault! Why did I get Avery to be his wife? There are so many women, yet I chose this vixen!"…In the room, Elliot's breathing gradually became stable. Avery reached out and touched his forehead. Even though Elliot was clammy, his temperature was normal. As she was afraid that he would wake up thirsty at night, she got out of bed and poured a glass of water, and placed it on the table beside him. When Avery woke up the following morning, Elliot was nowhere to be seen. She picked up her phone and checked the time.It was already past eight in the morning.Elliot sent her a message just after six in the morning, [I slept well last night, so I'll leave first.]Avery's cheek instantly flushed. It was only a text from him, so why was she feeling warm? Then, she found the remote control and turned off the heater. After washing up and leaving the room, Laura called her
Chapter 104
Chelsea's smile disappeared. "You've never had eyes for me, have you?"Elliot replied, "Find someone who does."Chelsea turned around and left. In the evening, Chelsea was unhappy and asked Charlie out for a drink.Charlie noticed that she was dispirited, and he said impolitely, "No man will like you when you look like this."Chelsea's eyes were red with anger. "I'm tired enough in public! Do I still need to put on an act in front of my brother?!"Charlie poured her a glass of wine, comforting her, "Chelsea, we're still not on the same page as siblings. If you listen to me, you'll get everything."Chelsea gulped the wine and asked him with bloodshot eyes, "Can I get Elliot?"Charlie wrapped his long arms around her, leaned closer, and whispered in her ear, "You can't get him when he is alive, but if he's dead, I can give you his ashes. That still means you have him. How about that? "Chelsea's face immediately dropped, and she pushed him away!"Charlie! Are you f*cking crazy
Chapter 105
Chelsea was speechless. She had mentally prepared herself the entire morning so that she would not be jealous of Avery when she saw Elliot. However, her psychological defenses had collapsed! Chelsea endured the pain and left the banquet hall.Not far away, Charlie watched Elliot snub his sister again. What made it worse was she had been snubbed in her own house. It would be a lie if Charlie had said that it did not hurt him, and it would also be a lie if he had said that the situation had not embarrassed him. Charlie wanted Elliot to compensate his sister for all ten years of her youth she had wasted on him. After lunch, Elliot went to the guest room to rest. He did not expect Avery to arrive just yet. Did she not say being with Charlie was really comfortable? Was she lying to him? When Elliot arrived at the guest room, he did not lie down. He was not very sleepy, and he only came here because he did not want to socialize. Later, he sent a text to his bodyguard.[Call me when
