Even if Dean was dead, Violet still did not dare have any contact with Natalie.
Natalie had told her over the phone that she wanted to talk with her about the division of the inheritance. Violet could not help but go meet her.
In Aryadelle at Elliot's mansion, Avery and Elliot were sitting at the dining table having their breakfast.
Avery looked at her phone, seeing a news notification about Christmas pop up.
She had been staying at Elliot's mansion for the past few days. She did not know what day it was anymore.
She had initially thought that Christmas was still a long way away, but the news notification that popped up informed her that Christmas was only a half month away.
"Elliot, it's almost Christmas." Avery placed her phone down and said to Elliot, "Do you feel that the days where we don't have to work pass by quicker?"
Elliot wanted to agree with her, but he did not want to lie. "I've been working every day, so I don't feel it that much."
Ever since Avery had allowed him to use the computer, he had been working daily.
"Okay. It looks like I have to arrange some work for myself, too." Avery was a little envious that he had adjusted back to his ordinary life so quickly. "Does your head really not hurt?"
Elliot thought about the question for a while and said honestly, "When I just got discharged from the hospital, the injury would hurt occasionally, but I don't feel dizzy."
"You have a great body. If it were any other person being operated on, their mental situation would not be as good as yours." Avery was still envious.
"The only reason I had such a great recovery was that you took such great care of me." Elliot did not forget to praise her, "If you had not spent time with me at home every day, I surely would not have recovered that well."
"Think positively." He picked up his cup of milk and drank some milk. "If I feel unwell, I would surely rest at home. I'm not an idiot."
Avery could not help but smile. "I just saw the news saying that many people are going to the church for New Year's. I think I have done a lot of things this year, but at the same time, it feels like I haven't done much. This year passed by just like that."
Elliot understood what she was trying to say. "Do you want to go to the church to pray? I'll come with you!"
Avery shook her head without hesitation. "We can't drive to that church. We have to hike up. And just because of this, I think you shouldn't go. Secondly, there are too many people on that hill. It's inappropriate for you to go."
"Then, I'll accompany you to the foot of the hill. You can go up yourself. I'll wait for you at the bottom of the hill. How about that?" Elliot wanted to go out with her. Even if it was just looking at the scenery, it was much better than staying at home all day.
Avery hesitated for a while. In the end, she could not resist the urge to go, so she nodded.
