Has Avery ever spoken the truth? Was she being cautious or was she treating him as the enemy?
If she was being cautious of him, why? What was she afraid of?
If she treated him as the enemy- That was even harder to understand! He had never done anything to hurt her, why was she so hostile toward him?
Elliot's brows were scrunched tightly the entire journey back. Once he reached home, Mrs. Cooper took Shea.
Elliot received a call and immediately drove away.
At the Twilight Bar, Ben saw Elliot coming over. He immediately pulled him over to
the sofa.
"Elliot! You have been missing the entire day, where have you been?" Ben poured him some wine.
"I went to see Eric Santos." He accepted the glass of wine and took a sip. "None of you will guess who performed his surgery."
Everyone looked at Elliot, waiting for him to continue, but he did not want to continue.
"Have I been treating Avery badly?" He furrowed his brows and downed the alcohol. "She was the one who had asked for the divorce. No matter how I tried to make her stay, she insisted on leaving.
After the divorce, she rebuilt her company; I lived my life. When she's in trouble, I try to help her as best I can, yet she wants a clean break. She wants to draw a line. She asked me to go with Zoe, and I listened to her... But in the end, she still hates me.
Why?"
Elliot's tone signified that he was rather drunk.
Zoe was his current woman, yet the woman he constantly thought of was Avery. Even at that moment, he was drowning himself in his alcohol and sorrow because of Avery.
"Elliot, you have done your best with Avery! She's only that arrogant because you treat her too well! I have long seen through her! The better you treat her, the more she disrespects you! Only by being ruthless will she show you some respect!"
"I too think that you treat Avery too well! You gave her fifteen million last year. Did she thank you? I'm sure she did not, right?"
