NovelOnline"I've only stopped eating spicy food since we got together. You don't eat spicy food, so my preferences kind of changed as well," she complained, "Before we started dating, | was really good at stomaching spicy food." "Fine, let's get both flavors.” Touched, Elliot decided to go along with it.
In a rented apartment, Cole spent all morning on his phone, hoping that Avery would contact him again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had thought that Avery was a sentimental woman and that she would definitely compromise when dealing with Shea's condition; however, Avery had not gotten in touch with him since she hung up on him early in the morning.
"I read her wrong!" Cole gritted out, "Has she given up on saving my aunt? What a ruthless woman she is!" Henry was making tea and felt unsettled. He had wavered the night before because accepting Tate Industries and selling it meant that they would obtain a great sum of money and avoid facing Elliot directly. The two of them could leave Aryadelle and live the rest of their lives in peace in a different country with the money, but Cole persisted. He rejected Henry's thoughts and insisted on getting the shares of Elliot's company.
Henry couldn't convince him otherwise and could only let him do as he pleased; in the end, they becstuck in a situation where they had nothing at all.
"The fact that Avery could be in a marriage with Elliot means that she is quite a formidable woman herself. Elliot values profit above all and Avery should think the same," Henry analyzed, "Avery was willing to trade her company and that was the bottom line for her. Stop dreaming about getting your hands on Elliot's shares!" Cole gritted his teeth.
"They would rather sacrifice Shea than trade his shares with Adrian's kidney." Henry took a sip of tea as his heart sank. " You should just focus on thinking about how we are going to make ends meet from now on! Not only will you need to take care of me, but you also need to keep your uncle fed." "Dad, | just can't give it up. If we miss this chance, we will never have another opportunity to turn the tables!" Cole set his phone down =¢(:YJP< deadpanned.
"You are the one who refused Avery's company. | asked around and her company could be sold for at least 465 million!" Henry glared at his son. "I heard that from someone after you turned Avery down this morning. Had | known it was worth this much money, | shouldn't have let you do whatever you wanted!" "Then go ask her for it now!" Cole flushed furiously.

"You coward! If you don't want to embarrass yourself, do you think | would?" "Then let it go!" Cole clenched his fists. " Truth is, we can go a bit further! I will only be responsible for you, not my uncle! So..." Henry widened his eyes. "What are you thinking?" In the restaurant, Avery's face started flushing shortly after she started eating, and soon, her eyes started turning red as well.
"Is it that spicy?" Elliot poured her a glass of water.
She fanned her face. "I used to be quite good with spicy food. | guess I'm not anymore." "Then stop eating.” He handed her the glass and took her plate away.
She accepted the glass and took a sip before tears rolled down her cheeks.
Elliot froze.
"It's so spicy that it madecry!" She set the glass down and chuckled as she cried. ' Elliot, you once said that everything that's yours is mine as well, right?"
