Wesley finally answered Avery's question.
[That’s right. She's still alive. But she's very sick right now. Instead of letting you guys worry, you were better off thinking she was dead. That way, you can all go back to your peaceful lives quickly. Don’t tell Elliot about this, because telling him would do nothing but upset him ]
Avery felt her soul leave her body as she read the text message.
Part of her suspected she was dreaming, while another part of her recalled the way Elliot looked when he said Shea was alive.
"Who's texting you, Avery?" Elliot asked immediately when he noticed her dazed expression after he paid for the camera.
Avery deleted all of Wesley's text messages, then came up with an excuse and said, "I gave a bad review on a dish set that I bought online because the quality was bad. The seller's trying to get me to change my review."
"Give me their contact information or their shop name. I'll send someone to deal with them." Elliot saw how upset Avery looked and wanted to help her solve this problem.
Avery shook her head and said, "I already settle things with the seller. Let's go take some photos! I don’t want to let such a small matter affect our vacation."
They walked out of the store and planned to go to the beach.
The beaches here were the country's most popular scenic spots because of the clear, blue waters.
The moment they stepped onto the beach, the gorgeous and endless ocean instantly freed them of their worries.
"It's so beautiful here! It wasn't easy to get here, but I think it's worth it."
"I agree. Let me find a good angle." Elliot grabbed the camera and walked away.
Avery took off her sandals and held them in her hand, then walked freely toward the ocean.
"Let's take a photo together, Elliot! Take some of me, then we'll take some together!" she called out to him.
Elliot's face was still bruised, so he was not quite willing to appear in front of the camera. However, since Avery wanted to take a photo with him, he did not want to rain on her parade.
They spent a little over an hour taking photos by the beach, then returned to the hotel.
Avery compared the photos that Elliot took of her =f-=YIY> the photos that the bodyguard took of the two of them together. From this, it seemed to her as if the bodyguard’s photos look slightly better.
Although it was likely that the possibility of Avery being able to help Shea was practically zero.
If there was anything that Avery could do about it, Wesley would have asked for her help a long time ago.
Elliot saw Avery's social media post, then asked, "Why are you in a good mood? "
"Because of you! I didn't say it because I didn't want people thinking I was showing off my happy marriage."
"You posted nine photos of us together. Don't you think that’s showing off?" Elliot said as he quietly hit the "like" button on her post.
"It's cheesy to spell things out like that! Photos are more restrained." Avery had her own twisted reasoning.
"Alright. What do you want for dinner? I'll ask the butler to prepare it. We could also go out and eat if you want." Elliot felt like trying the local delicacies.
Avery was worried that they would run into Wesley while they were out, so she said, "I'm a little tired today. Let’s get the butler to bring our dinner to the room.
They're famous for their seafood here. Let's have a seafood feast!"
