"Shall we take the children?" Elliot asked.
Avery looked at Elliot and asked, "Do you want to take the children?"
She could not understand him.
"I do." Although carrying them was not easy, it was joyous to spend time with them. No wonder people said that children were a sweet burden.
"But I don't want to take the children along today. I want to take you to a place.” Avery said.
"Where are we going?" He put his hands in his pocket. "We have to tell the children, right! If they don’t want to come with us, we don't have to bring them, but what if they do?"
"Let's go to my college. Wait for me here. I'll go tell the children," Avery said and headed to their room. A moment later, she walked quickly back to him and held his arm." Layla wants us to bring good food back for her. Let's go!"
Avery drove and brought Elliot to her college. Her college was a world-famous medical school.
"When you came here to study, you were quite late in your pregnancy, right?” Elliot walked next to her on the wide path on campus.
College students on their bicycles passed them by. School started earlier in Bridgedale.
"More accurately, I only started studying after I gave birth." Avery held his hands tightly. "We have too many regrets. Elliot. I
don't want us to be like the past. Every time I fight with you, whether it was your problem or mine, I feel like I was skinned alive."
Words were stuck in his throat. He replied hoarsely, "Me too."
"I was young. I used to be swayed easily by my emotions. I judged everything subjectively," Avery said remorsefully," When I was here studying. Every time I thought about you, I hated you. I brought you here today to put down my previous resentment. I hope that we can start over again."
Elliot swallowed his saliva
