NovelEnglish"What's there to worry about? Your husband knows I'm fine." Ben glanced casually at Elliot.
"He did mention that you were fighting." Seeing that the conflict was resolved, Avery smiled and said, "the ceremony is starting soon. Let's go take our seats!" "Will Elliot walk Shea down the aisle?" "Adrian will. Adrian is her real brother, after all!" She explained, "we want Adrian to know that he is needed." "Oh. | saw Hayden spending a lot of twith Adrian today." Ben scanned the crowd to look for Hayden and as expected, found him sitting next to Adrian and the two were talking to one another.

"I was the one who told Lilith to get that drawing pad." Reminded of the bitter past, Ben asked, "how are things between her and that postgraduate student?" "Nothing much! She mentioned that she wants to focus on her career now. The contest has ended and her job will start now." "Oh... | saw those two hugging last time. What an eyesore," Ben said sarcastically before walking towards the audience area.
Avery glanced at Elliot. "Seems like he isn't that caught up with Lilith, otherwise he wouldn't even mention her name." "That's because you mentioned that Lilith is focusing on her career for now." "Fine! But that's actually what Lilith said. Even when you like someone, you don't always have to marry them." Avery pulled Elliot to the audience area. "It's their business, so it's up to them!" "Yeah. You go ahead. | will get the kids." Elliot walked her to her seat and went to look for Layla and Robert.
Avery was on the first row and Ben was seated on the second row. Though they weren't on the srow, it didn't stop them from talking.
"After | left this morning, what did he tell you?" Ben whispered.
"He said that you were in a bad mood because of Lilith..." "Damn! How can he just make things up like that? F*ck that..." Ben cursed ;e->TNT= cclose to telling the truth, but managed to stop himself last minute.

Naturally, Ben couldn't mention the true reason to Avery. If Avery found that Ruby had given birth and Elliot had seen the photo of the baby, she would get into an argument with Elliot and Elliot would kill him for it.
"There's this project in the company that | don’t think there's need to invest in, but he insists on investing on said project... We have been arguing about that for a couple of times now." Ben cup with a random excuse. "My official position might be Chief Financial Officer, but I'm also a shareholder of Sterling Group." "I know." Avery did not doubt what he said. "But there's no need for you to fight over it in public." "Before he started dating you, we used to talk about work everywhere. When we were busy, we used to stay up until one or two at night, talking about nothing but work," Ben explained.
"But it's Shea's wedding today. Everyone here is enjoying their there." "Yeah, | realized that after he pissedoff, so | cback." Ben forced a smile. "I am happy to see Shea on her big day." Avery scowled. "I think your explanation isn't quite convincing, but | also can’t figure out what would cause you two to fight.
Sometimes, you are even closer to him than | am, in terms of trust." Ben blushed and said shyly, "you've overestimated me. To him, | am hardly any match for you."
