NovelOnline"I've never stopped loving you," he confessed without hesitation. "When we fight, and you refuse to listen to me, I might resent you for a time, but I'll always forget about it in the end." A lump formed in Avery's throat at his words. She wanted to say something but was not sure what to say.
"Avery, I'm not pursuing you again simply because I want to give our children a complete home. It's quite the opposite, actually." "Say no more, Elliot." Her eyes glittered with unshed tears, and she suppressed her urge to sob. She had a lot of questions for him, but she realized that none of them mattered any longer.

"I won't ask you anything, so you shouldn't askany questions, either," she said. "If you think that's not fair, I can answer one question." "Sure." Elliot considered what question he wanted to ask.
"Elliot, I love you, too." Avery did not give him tto think. "That's the only question I'm willing to answer." Elliot smiled bitterly. "Avery, I wasn't going to ask if you loved me. If you do, that's naturally the best scenaI could hope for; if you don't, I will still move forward with what I've always intended to do." "This is the only answer I am willing to give, so there's no need to ask anything else." she sniffled.
"That's true. With that being said, nothing else matters." Elliot had been curious about Avery and Billy, but he realized that she was not going to answer any questions he had regarding the matter.
"Elliot, do you feel cold?" Avery panted heavily. "I feel so cold." Noticing her panting, he pulled her into his arms. "It's quite cold here. Stay strong, Avery. Once the rescue team gets here, we will get out." "I'm so hungry..." She leaned into his embrace and whispered, "I should have eaten more at noon." "It's alright... Once we get out, I will buy you whatever you want to eat. Let's not think about food for now, ;a)>YKR? think about our children instead... Will they be calling you tonight? They will probably freak out if you didn't answer the call he Whispered into her ears. Avery breathed heavily. She had heard him but did not respond, as she needed to preserve her strength until the rescue team found them.
"Avery, I saw this news on my phone earlier," Elliot continued. "There's this place that was hit by an earthquake and the houses collapsed. A little boy was buried in the rubble with 'no water or food. The rescue went on for seven days, and, just as everyone thought that there wouldn't be any survivors, the boy was found alive..." Avery hummed in response.

Robert suddenly missed his father in the morning and demanded to call him.
Unable to dissuade him, Layla helped him call Elliot.
"Oh? Dad's phone is off?" Layla could not reach Elliot and tried to call Avery instead. Moments later, she scowled and wondered, "Why is Mom's phone off as well? They both turned their phones off?" Alarmed by Layla's words, Hayden frowned.
"Hayden, I can't reach Mom or Dad. You try it." Layla set her phone down and looked over at her brother.
Hayden went to grab his phone and dialed Avery's number.
"Sorry. The number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later."
