Elliot was in a daze looking at Avery coming out. Before he could think of anything, his body already took a step toward her.
He picked her up in his arms and strode back indoors.
Although Avery had only been in the rain for a few seconds, her face was wet from the rain . or perhaps it was tears!
"Avery, I'm not suspecting you. You said you didn't do it, that means you didn't do it. " Elliot placed Avery down on the sofa. He bent down and explained patiently, "Zoe is so sure that you harmed her. If she reported it to the police, the police would surely come looking for you. I don't want you to be questioned like a criminal. If we can find an alibi for you beforehand, the police won't need to come to look for you anymore."
Avery looked at Elliot's wet and wretched look. She could not get angry.
"I went to look for Wesley today," Avery’s voice had no emotions in them. "I was at his house the entire day."
"You were in his house the entire day?" The tenderness in Elliot's eyes instantly vanished. His tone was obviously more nervous.
"Yes. Are you going to ask what I was doing in his house?" Avery's clear eyes saw the changes on his face. Her heart hurt. "This is my private matter. I can’t tell you."
Elliot felt as if he was ambushed in the dark. He secretly let out a pained muffled grunt.
Wesley and she were doing things in private that even he could not be told about.
Elliot's body was so cold he shivered. When he got up, his gaze at her was a little disappointed and disheartened. He clenched his fists tightly and soon vanished from her sight.
This time, he left. He left without looking back.
At one in the morning, Mike's car drove into the courtyard. After Mike paid the driver, the fumbled to get out of the car.
When he was by the entrance, he noticed that the huge door was opened. A lamp was turned on in the living area. Avery was lying on the sofa like a lifeless corpse!
"Avery!" Mike was instantly sobered.
