NovelEnglishDid she add you on social media?" Avery asked.
"No," Elliot replied without any hesitation.
The second tRuby went looking for him was through text messages. She did not add him on social media.

"Ignore her.” Elliot gave her the answer she wanted to hear. At the stime, he asked, "How does it taste?" "I'm not exaggerating, but your skills are as good as a great chef." Avery had a few bites and gave him her raving reviews.
"You must have not eaten much at the Hutchinsons." Elliot had eaten dinner. He knew where his standard of cooking was. His cooking could barely be compared to a professional chef. It was at most slightly better than hers.
"No. | chfull." Avery took a bite of food. "Although I'm a little biased, you really did well. At least this is qualified hfood.” Elliot was silent for a while before asking," Do you want to get a checkup? | think that Jed did something to you before he died." "I did a checkup before. There is nothing wrong with my body." Avery looked at him. "After his death, | had at least done two fullbody checkups. Furthermore, if he really did something to me, | would surely be able to feel it. After the effects of anesthesia wore off, | did not feel any discomfort." "That's because you did not have your guard up against Jed, which is why you didn't properly feel anything strange going on in your body,” Elliot said firmly. "I asked the doctor today. There are many bad reactions to general anesthesia. Usually, unless completely necessary, the doctors would never suggest the patient undergo general anesthesia. Jed must have done something to you." Avery was stunned by his serious expression.
"But since you didn't realize anything strange, it's too late to talk about it now." Elliot noticed that Avery had stopped eating, so he changed the topic. "Eat up! After dinner, we'll call the children. It's not snowing yet in Aryadelle. Layla and Robert would surely be happy to see snow." "Hmm. We'll build a snowman then call them." No matter how old she was, every tshe saw snow, the first thing that cto her mind was to build a snowman.
Avery took a bite of every dish. Finally, she put her cutlery down. She smiled. "Hubby, is there anything that you can't do?" "Yes," said Elliot. "I can't give birth to children." "Hahaha! Why do you say it so seriously?" Avery got up from the chair "If you could give birth to children, you would surely not make a sound from pregnancy to labor..." "Not necessarily. When you gave birth to Robert, | checked only on how painful it was to give birth to a child. The intesaid that the pain of smooth labor was almost the sas undergoing surgery without anesthesia. | surely won't be able to stay silent." Elliot placed all the dishes in the dishwasher before turning it on and adding the dishwashing liquid.
"Do you know what | was thinking when | was giving birth?" Avery walked next to him. Elliot wiped his hands dry with a dry towel and held her arm, walking toward the door. "When | was on placement at the hospital, | saw many patients with terminal illnesses.
The pain of giving birth to children only lasts a few days, but people with a terminal illness would usually suffer for months to years." "Why are we suddenly talking about such a heavy topic?" Elliot swallowed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Didn't you talk about the pain of childbirth? I'm consoling you. Childbirth might be painful, but there are other, more painful things." "You sure know how to console someone. | feel gloomier now." Elliot smiled.
"Tsk! Let's go build a snowman! We'll each build our own and let the children see whose snowman is prettier!" Avery walked to the door, put on her coat, and ran out into the yard.
Elliot turned on all the lights in the yard. Seeing her prancing about like a reindeer, he could not help but smile.
He put on his coat, changed his shoes, and headed out.
Twenty minutes later, Avery's phone rang. She took off her gloves and answered the video call from the children.
"Layla! Where are Hayden and Robert? Get them over." Avery smiled and aimed the camera at the snowman she and Elliot built.
"Look, these are the snowmen we built!" Layla saw the sea of white snow in the yard and the two snowmen. She could not help but exclaim, "Mommy! It's snowing so heavily there! | want to build a snowman with you all too!"
