Avery never believed in fate.
Even if life wanted to stop her, she would never give in that easily.
She opened the car door then stepped into the cold winter snow without hesitation.
She ran frantically toward the airport.
There was only one ending she wanted. She was not going to let Elliot go just like that!
At the VIP waiting lounge at the airport, Elliot lifted his wrist and checked the time on his watch.
His flight was one in the afternoon. There was another hour until the plane would take off.
He stood by the giant windows and his heart felt as cold as the fluttering snowfall outside.
If there was any other way, he would never do anything to hurt Avery and the children.
Being cruel to her and the children was the same as being cruel to himself. He would be in more agony than them.
Charlie had something on Elliot and was now forcing him to marry Chelsea. He had no other choice.
If he did not act out this play, there would be no end to the torment he would have to endure in the future.
He did not want the children to be ridiculed because of his scandal. He also did not want Avery to find out about this.
He could allow his reputation to be ruined and not care about how others viewed him, but he cared about what Avery thought of him.
If it were not for Avery and the children, he would not be pinned down even if Charlie found evidence of his murder case!
Elliot was never a good man. It was Avery and the children who made him want to become a better person.
He was never a coward, but he was terrified of Avery and the children distancing themselves from him out of fear after finding out about this. He needed to take a gamble. If he won, he would never have to worry about being threatened again.
Avery ran all the way into the airport departure hall. She did not have time to brush the snow off of her body or catch her breath. She found the flight to Aryadelle on the flight information display system, then immediately rushed toward the designated security checkpoint.
She squeezed through the crowds
