Chapter 98
“Avery! Have you forgotten whose wife you are?!” Elliot clenched her struggling little hands tightly and pinned them above her head. “I told you to stay away from Charlie! Don’t challenge my patience!”
It had been a while since Avery had seen him this irritable and crazy. He looked so weak, but his strength was frightening. She did not dare resist him, as the more she fought, the crazier h e became. Avery lied down quietly for the sake of the children she carried within her. She waited for him to vent his dissatisfaction.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Elliot’s burning gaze watched Avery’s face. His fingers rubbed her cheeks, finally slipping from her eyebrows to behind her ears. “What do you want me to say? What do you want to hear? I’ll say it for you.” She said.
The anger in Elliot’s heart was instantly extinguished.
“Avery, am I really unforgivable?”
Elliot’s voice was hoarse and soft, his fingers sieved through her hair to gently clasp her in his palms. His body was a little hot, and Avery felt really warm.
“You’re not unforgivable.” Avery’s eyes moved slightly, dropping her disguise. “Elliot, you are amazing. Everything about you is amazing… But, I want to lead a peaceful life, so let meg
0.”
The hope in Elliot’s eyes shattered, and he did not want to listen to her anymore. Then, he covered her cherry lips with his.
At noon, the bodyguard knocked on the door. Laura opened the door and let him in.
“Where’s Mr. Foster?” The bodyguard immediately became vigilant when he saw no one in the living room.
Laura pointed to the bedroom door. “In the room.”
The bodyguard replied, “Oh…”
He wanted to ask when Elliot would come out, but he soon noticed that the question was
redundant as no one but Elliot himself knew that.
“I made lunch. Do you want to eat? Where’s the other person with you? Call him in. We will dine together,” said Laura warmly.
The bodyguard sullenly walked to the bedroom door, pressing his ear against the door.
There was no sound coming from within.
Laura said, “The house isn’t soundproofed, and if they’re talking inside, we can hear it from outside. Maybe he’s asleep. I think he’s still sick!”
