She did not want to be so undignified, but reality had hit her hard. She could not face the pain of losing him, and before she knew it, all her pride and confidence had faded.
"Tell me what can I do to get you to leave." He held her hand with his broad, strong hand and tried to move her hand away, but she gripped onto his shirt and refused to let go.
"Do you want to get rid of me so badly? The more you want to get rid of me, the less likely I'm going to leave!" She would not let him enjoy his life without her. "I don't think that Gary and Ruby are going to allow you to keep in touch with me!" "Don't you want to send Hayden back?" he said.
The two of them were both saying only what they wanted to say but seemed to know what the other one was saying by heart at the same time.
"I will just see him off for his flight!"
He stared at the stubborn look in her eyes and was completely defeated.
"There's nobody else around right now.
Why wouldn’t you tell me the truth?" She could not understand him, and she felt like she was going crazy.
Every single day she was in Ylore was mental torture. She would not have been able to last so long if it were not for the wonderful memories in her mind.
Elliot did not answer her question.
He stared at her with his dark, brooding eyes and refused to move, so she dragged him inside and closed the door behind them.
"Avery, what are you doing?" He looked at her with resignation. "I need to go look for Hayden-"
"Didn't you say that he is safe because he used an alias?" Her fingers worked the buttons on his shirt swiftly. "Let's try again... Let's try it again..."
Elliot scowled. He did not want to. All he wanted was to find Hayden as soon as possible to prevent Gary from finding him, or his plan would be ruined. Not having the heart to reject her, he said, "Next time."
"No way! Who knows when the next time is..." She quickly unbuttoned his shirt to expose his muscular chest. "I am your wife, Elliot Foster! Have you forgotten the vow you said before all of our families ?h%?VJU; friends? You said that you will love me forever! Did your vow mean nothing?!"
