When he cout of the shower, she pulled him towards the bed despite the dark expression on his face and the anger in his eyes. Once he lay down, she turned off the lights and said, "Hubby, I..." "Who's more important, Adrian or me?" He interrupted her.

Adrian is Shea's brother, after all. | promise that | won't let this affect our lives.” "It already did," he said, "You said that you are upset. Do you think | can be in a good mood when you are sad?" "I promise | won't let it get toagain." She leaned towards his cheek and planted a kiss on his face. "You need to attend the parents’ meeting tomorrow and you can't just keep a mask on the entire time. Letfind my concealer to help cover the bruise on your face tomorrow." "Okay." The two drifted off to sleep soon after they made up.
Abrand new day started and Avery woke up earlier than usual. She had promised to help Elliot cover his bruise, but she didn't bring her concealer along when they moved the day before, and she only had her foundation.
Elliot opened his eyes to find her bustling at the dressing table.
"Avery, what are you doing?" "I'm looking for a foundation.” She took out all her foundations to look for a shade that better matched his skin color, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't seem to find an appropriate shade. "I forgot to bring my concealer, so | can only use foundation, but the shades are a bit too pale so | don't know if these can cover up your bruises." He immediately got out of bed and leaned toward her. "Try it." "Oh." She opened a bottle of foundation, squeezed a small amount out, and applied it to his face. Once it was evenly spread, his entire face instantly looked a shade lighter.

She took him to the bathroom to remove the makeup and waited for him to wash up before putting the foundation on him again.
At eight in the morning, she sent Elliot and Layla off. After having her breakfast, she went back to the room to go back to sleep.
She closed her eyes for a while, before opening them abruptly again. She grabbed her phone and called Cole.
He had agreed to give her an answer today and they should have reached a consensus by now.
Cole picked up immediately.
"Cole, have you talked to your dad?" "I did," Cole drawled, "We only want Elliot's shares, and nothing else. Avery, if you really want to save Shea's life, you should figure out a way to get Elliot on board!"
