NovelOnlineAvery finished her breakfast and stepped out of the restaurant, only to run directly into Elliot.
He was wearing the light gray casual wear she bought for him and a black face mask, showing only his eagle-like eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was alone, so there was no doubt that he had come looking for her. At that very moment, she was overwhelmed by emotions.
She felt both touched and scared at the same time.
Henry and Cole were standing right behind Avery, and as they followed the direction of her gaze, they saw Elliot.
Though Elliot was not in official attire and was wearing a mask, they still recognized him right away.
Cole reacted swiftly and dragged his father along as he ran towards the car.
Avery strode towards Elliot, but he continued to stare at Cole and Henry coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘Why are they here? Why was Avery meeting with them? What did they talk about? He could barely remain calm and started walking towards Henry before Avery could reach him.
"Elliot!" Avery hurried over to stop him. " Don't be reckless! Listen to me!" At almost the same moment when she managed to grab his arm, Cole and Henry had gotten into the car. Without any delay, Cole stepped on the accelerator and the car took off.
Elliot watched as they left, before immediately turning his attention to Avery. He swallowed hard and said, "Go on." "They came because of Adrian." She looked into his cold, brooding eyes and said," Adrian is having a severe headache and they had taken him to the hospital, but it didn't help; that's why they decided to come to me instead." His frown slowly eased at her explanation.
"And what did you say to them?" "I've introduced a doctor to them and told them to go to that doctor first, " she said, "If it's still not getting better, then I'll go have a look." "You shouldn't have lied to me." Elliot accepted her explanation, but he was still upset. "You said you went to buy sanitary products when there are still some left at home. Such a lie might fool Mrs. Cooper, but not me." Seeing that he was upset, Avery immediately grabbed his h:c-;VNY; and explained with a smile, "I know there are still some left at home, but there's only one pack and that's hardly enough! You think you have cracked a big case, but | really am going to get sanitary products. Come, let's go together.” Avery walked towards the closest supermarket hand in hand with Elliot." Have you eaten your breakfast?" "No. | thought you were lying and didn't have the appetite.” "Haha, why are you so mad? Even if | was lying, you still have to eat!" Avery forced a smile as her heart sank. If he found out that she had hidden Shea's condition from him, he would surely be furious.
"Then don't lie to me." He glanced at her." Avery, | don't keep any secrets from you anymore, so | don't want you to hide anything from me either." "If 1 do hide something from you, it's definitely because it's better for you not to know," she said sincerely.
