NovelEnglishWesley immediately answered the call after seeing who it was.
"Do you think the subject of you and Shea is a conversation that we should be having right now?" he asked in a low voice. "Shea hasn't even recovered yet, so why are you getting yourself in a twist?" Wesley could only stay silent when he questioned her.
It was not Wesley who wanted to discuss that, but Shea, who held on to the hope that everything could be settled.
Wesley would not want to dampen her enthusiasm, but indulging in her would cause others to be under the mistaken impression that he was directing everything behind the scenes.

Elliot did not hang up because he still had doubts.
"Can you separate your feelings for Avery and Shea?" he asked, "You pursued Avery before. Why would you like Shea now?" "Am | barred from liking other women just because | liked Avery before?" Wesley then gave a straightforward answer. "Avery's not just a beautiful woman. She has an easy -going personality and she's very talented too. A lot of men like her." "Then are you with Shea right now because you think she’s easy to control? Or because you think you can get something?" Elliot questioned bluntly.
"Shea's not your sister, Elliot. Do you think I'd get anything from you by being with her, aside from your scrutiny?" Wesley laughed in spite of himself. "I have lost far more than | have gained this year." Elliot could sense that Wesley had not finished speaking, so he did not speak immediately either.
"If she were your sister, | would've felt embarrassed to be together with her. But we're both ordinary people who are willing to be together and spend our future together. That's all there is to it." Elliot could roughly understand what Wesley meant.
Wesley was not the kind of person who had wild ambitions. The fact that he left Bridgedale and returned to Aryadelle to becan ordinary doctor without relying on his father's connections demonstrated that he had no desire to pursue a life of luxury RIU< prestige.
"Shea might not be my sister, but in my heart, she’s closer tothan my actual sister. I'll cfor you if you so much as dare to harm her in the future," Elliot made it indubitably clear to him.
"I'd sooner wrong myself before | do her." "Spareyour high-sounding moralism! Shea wouldn't have known about Robert if you asked her to donate blood to him. You chose to sacrifice Shea to stop Avery from being sad." Wesley felt a twinging ache in his heart. " I'm not God. How can | be expected to predict that such a serious consequence would happen as a result of Shea’s blood donation? | regret what happened. | truly do. | shouldn't have told her about Robert, much less divulge to her that her blood could save Robert. If that had happened, she wouldn't need to suffer so much, and | wouldn't have to hide with her so far away for so long." Robert might have died at that tif Wesley did not tell Shea.
Wesley simply did not understand why Elliot failed to understand that.
Perhaps Elliot simply wanted to find an outlet for his depressed mood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't bring that up again, Elliot. You can blme all you want, but don't ever mention that again!" Wesley raised his voice. "I'll take good care of Shea in the future. It doesn't matter whether you agree withor not, because we've decided to live our lives with each other.” Their conservation was actually beyond Elliot's imagination.
After spending a year in hiding, Shea had changed and so did Wesley.
He was no longer the gentle and introverted gentleman he used to be and had instead turned into a tougher man whose maturity was far greater than it was in the past.
Elliot no longer doubted Wesley's ability to take on the heavy responsibility of caring for Shea.
That afternoon, Layla’s elementary school had organized an event in the auditorium.
Avery, as the representative of the students ' parents, sat down in the front row of the audience.
Layla's teacher said to her, "The emcee will invite you on stage for a brief chat after Layla's performance is over." "Layla didn't tellthat | needed to go on stage." If Avery knew that she had to speak on stage, she would have chosen a more formal dress to attend the event.
