Elliot could not help but chuckle. "I do really want to go with you, but I will stay put if you tell me to do so. It's cold out there so wear more layers."
"Yeah." Avery was touched by his words. "Elliot, I don't really know what to do with myself when you are this obedient. I wanted to cheer you up, but it seems like that's not necessary."
"Cheer me up, then," he said.
"Haha, when I come home." She blushed and quickly finished her breakfast, before wiping her mouth clean with a piece of tissue. "Elliot, it's the weekend so you should relax for a bit. Don't work. If you are bored, you can invite your friends over or something."
"Okay. Travel safe."
"I know. I checked the weather report today. It's going to be cloudy but with no wind and no rain, so everything should go smoothly," Avery said as she walked toward the living room.
Elliot followed them closely to see them off.
The three children each held their own backpacks and were all eagerly waiting to leave.
Avery put on her down jacket and took her bag before walking to the children. "Let's go! Uncle Wesley has probably departed already."
The bodyguards and Mrs. Cooper followed her outside.
At nine in the morning, they all arrived at the Hightide Church.
Wesley and the bodyguards waited outside.
"Mr. Brook, why do you think they refuse to receive male visitors?" the bodyguard asked sincerely.
"Each place has its own rules. We just need to follow them."
"Alright! I personally think it's for the safety of those inside. I am a guy too, but some men are horrible..."
"You sure are loyal to Avery. You seem to consider her interest in everything," Wesley chuckled.
"Not entirely. This is for Rose, as well. I like her. She's a nice kid."
"Yeah. I heard that there are over thirty kids in the chapel. I bet they are all great."
The two chatted for a while until Avery returned and called them inside.
"The abbess says it's okay for you two to come inside and rest."
"I thought they really don't let men inside! So there are exceptions." The bodyguard walked inside with a smile.
Avery walked by Wesley's side and said, "Rose was the one who said she wants to be adopted by you so the abbess wants to talk to you in person.
