Elliot calmly washed Avery's feet and then gently wiped them dry with a tissue. He took his time.
Avery was blushing. She tried to retract her feet back a few times, but Elliot stopped her from doing so.
The tingling in her feet that bloomed with every caress of his hands traveled to her heart.
"Do you think the flights will be canceled tomorrow?" Elliot finally let her go.
"Don’t jinx it!" Avery was desperate to return at that moment.
Elliot picked up the basin and went over to the washroom to pour out the dirty water. When he went back to her, he saw that she looked gloomy and agitated.
"Are the flights canceled?" He guessed.
"Hmm." Avery placed her phone down, feeling depressed. "There are fruits and snacks in the bag, have some."
Although Elliot was hungry, his appetite had vanished when he saw her in that state.
Avery was holding onto a kettle, intending to boil some water. Elliot took the kettle and said, "Go and lie down."
She listlessly walked over to the side of the bed and sat down. All she could think about what Hayden.
Before Hayden had turned one, he was just like any other kid. He would occasionally cry and throw tantrums. However, once he had turned one, all the crying and tantrums had ceased.
Avery could not even imagine what her son would look like if he were to cry.
Hayden was willing to stay in the elite class because the elite class was not as rigid as the ordinary class.
The elite class was taught using a curriculum that was tailored for child geniuses— which all the students were.
Geniuses exceeded the intellect of an average person. They were usually more self-absorbed, and they rarely paid attention to other people. This was the other reason why Hayden had decided to stay on with the school after the first day.
Avery was initially happy that Hayden had found a suitable place, but she had forgotten the pressure that he would face when placed in such an environment.
"Are you worried about Hayden?" After plugging in the kettle, Elliot looked at her." Don’t worry, he will learn how to h?b(>ULW? le the stress."
Avery looked at him, stunned. "How do you know?"
