NovelEnglishAfter Avery selected the tea, she turned to Elliot, "Elliot, do you know what language this is? It seems like it's in Italian." "You're right. It is Italian." Avery heard the certainty behind his answer and said, "You understand Italian?" "I've learned a little in the past, but I haven't used it for many years. I have forgotten most of it already." Elliot placed the menu in front of Hayden so that he might choose what he wanted.
"Why did you learn Italian? I thought you majored in architecture?" Avery was shocked to find out that he knew Italian.
She had seen his bookshelf, and there were many foreign books in their original languages, but she had thought that he had bought those books just to complete his collection and for superficial reasons. She did not think he understood what they meant. "Back then, it was because I liked an Italian architect, so I bought her book. Since I didn't want to read a translated version of the book, I had to learn Italian," Elliot said.

"As long as it's translated by a proper publisher, there should not be much of a difference between the original and the translation, and yet, you learned an entire language just to read one book. I think you just like the language, right?" Avery guessed.
Elliot blushed a little. "I think confessing one's love in Italian is very romantic." Avery was confused.
Hayden was so stunned he looked directly at him.
"Why have I never seen you speaking toin Italian before? Who did you confess your love in Italian to?" Avery noticed how a bright red flush spread across Elliot's face, but she did not plan to let him go that easily.
Although it was a long tago, recounting it at that moment could kill the boredom, as well as increase her understanding of him. "I only thought about it. I have never confessed my love to anyone in the language." Elliot noticed his son looking at him from the corner of his eyes, so he said seriously, "Just view it asnot being in a relationship before this one. I fantasized about it, but I had never acted on it." Avery accepted his explanation.
"Then, try confessing your love toin Italian." Avery looked at him hopefully.
Elliot's mind went blank. This... was extremely embarrassing! He had not spoken Italian in a very long time, and he was rusty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmne Although he could still speak a few simple sentences, asking him to confess his love to her in front of their son, was a different matter altogether. Św"It's embarrassing to say it in front of our son," said Elliot, pleading with Avery using his eyes.
Avery looked calm. "Our son doesn't understand Italian anyway." Then, she looked at Hayden and said, "Hayden, d don't think you understand the language, rightremembered that you never learned the language." Hayden nodded.
"See, he doesn't understand. You can say whatever corny things you want. You don't need to feel embarrassed," Avery encouraged him and said, "You can say it to me! I'm ready!" Hayden selected a few desserts from the menu and returned the menu to the waiter.
After the waiter left, he took his phone out and pretended to use it.
The atmosphere was extremely strange. His parents were on a sweet date, yet he was there as the third wheel. Elliot took a deep breath, trying to get into the mood. Then, he looked at Avery and said words of love to her.
With the romantic Italian song playing in the background, he said a series of Italian sentences to Avery. When he finished, Avery nodded in satisfaction.
"Avery, I haven't spoken it in a long time. My grammar might not be correct..." Elliot said shyly. Avery did not seem to care. She said, "It's fine. I didn't understand a single word anyway."
