NovelOnlineAvery's vision turned blurry. Her heart constricted tightly. She pursed her lips and persisted through the sadness.
"Avery, why are you not saying anything?" Wesley heard her heavy breathing. He immediately said, "If you can't, it's fine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShea still doesn't know that you found me. She also doesn’t know that she isn’t Elliot's sister, nor that Adrian is her brother. | don’t want her to know all these." "Wesley, | want to save Shea, | really do, but Adrian has been taken away." Avery wiped away her tears. She said in a hoarse voice," I'l try to find a way." "Did they take Adrian away because they wanted to ask you for money?" Wesley could immediately pinpoint the problem astutely. "How much are they asking for?" If Wesley could get this amount of money, he would offer to pay.
"They don't want my money. Even if | gave them all my belongings, they don't want it either," Avery choked up and said, "They want Elliot's money." When Wesley heard what she said, he immediately said, "Then, give up! Avery, let this be the end of it! If Shea knew that Elliot was being threatened, she would rather die than be in this situation. Furthermore, even if she had a kidney transplant, we won't know if her body would reject it or not. It is unnecessary to use Elliot's money for an uncertain outcome." "Wesley, do you really think that it's unnecessary?" Avery could not believe that Wesley would say such a thing.
"If they want my inheritance, | would be willing to take that risk, but they want Elliot's instead. You did not tell Elliot this because you knew this would cause him a lot of trouble. If that's the case, don't torture yourself with this," Wesley said, "Death is not as terrible as we think it is." "There's a saying that death is not the loss of life but rather the escape of time," Wesley continued, "Avery, just have a good life with Elliot and care for your children. Don’t let Shea's matter bother you anymore.
"Wesley, you're always like that. You're always afraid to trouble me, afraid that | would be aggrieved." Avery smiled bitterly. "l am really fortunate to have met you in this life." "I should be the one saying this. I'm asking you to live your life, hoping that you would do more meaningful things in the future. Although Shea is pitiful, she isn't that bad, being loved by you all. At least she has never felt bad for herself." Hearing Wesley's words, tears fell down Avery's face once more.
In the evening, Mike cover to Elliot's for dinner.
Avery pretended that nothing had happened. She teased him, "Didn't you say that you don't like coming here?" "I'm here to see Layla," Mike said, "l asked Chad to cover as well, but Chad refused. You can see how much people dislike your husb;d#>TNV:. Only you treat him like a jewel. However, with a person like him, you don't have to worry about him having an affair." "I'll take this as a compliment,” Elliot said depressingly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Layla suddenly looked at Avery's face. She asked in surprise,” Mommy, where did you go today?" "Babe, why did you suddenly askthis?" Avery smiled.
"You have makeup on! You don't usually wear makeup!" Layla said observantly, "Did you go on a date with Daddy today?" When Elliot heard what Layla said, he immediately looked at Avery's face.
He remembered clearly that she did not wear makeup that morning so when did she put on makeup? Who did she put on makeup for? With everyone looking at her, Avery instantly blushed. "Can't | put on smakeup? Do you have to be so shocked about it? | passed by a cosmetic shop today, so | bought sconcealer and a darker shade of foundation because | don't have any." Elliot immediately accepted her reason.
"The salesperson lettry it on. | thought it was quite good, so | bought it," Avery continued.
What she said was true. However, she only bought a concealer and a foundation to cover the handprint on her face.
