"You are right," Elliot said. "If I'm doing alright, can I go to work? It's too boring to stay home. Letwalk around the office?" "The kind of walking around where you don't cback?" Avery teased. "You go ahead if you really want to work that badly!" "What about you?" Concerned that she would be bored, he proposed, "Why don't you cwork with me? I can arrange whatever position you want for you. It would be nice if we could go to work together every single day!" Avery felt chills down her spine at his suggestion.
"I love you, Elliot, but I'm really not interested in your work. You can go to work if you want to! Don't worry about me. I have my own plans," she said.

Elliot beamed at the thought of returning to work. "Tpasses so slowly if I don't work. A person needs a job. It gives you a-" "Alright, alright. Speople just enjoy doing nothing. Don't force your viewpoint onto me." Avery agreed to send him to the office. "Get the driver to pick you up at night. No working overtime." "Okay. I'm glad that you want to stay home, anyway," Elliot said.
Once she sent Elliot to work, she told the driver to drive her to Wesley's house.
Wesley had taken a day off from work to stay hwith Shea.
Both of their children had gone off to school, so the house was a bit quiet.
"Rose is already getting used to going to school?" Avery was surprised.
"She's in the sclass as Kiara, so they look after one another. We've talked to the teachers, and they are taking great care of Rose. She got used to it right away," Wesley said. "Stay for dinner. I'm cooking." "Sure! Letask Elliot to cover as well." "Of course! Has he gone to his check-up?" "Yeah. His wounds are healing well, so I let him go to work. He just can't stand staying home. It's almost like he is worried that we will all starve to death hit he doesn't make any more money, or that he will be disconnected from society if he doesn't work. "That bad, huh?" Wesley chuckled. "He's probably used to living under pressure." "Yeah, that's why I let him go when he wanted to work. He might just recover faster that way," Avery joked.

She found her phone with bloodshot eyes and stumbled toward the bathroom, where she promptly vomited. She washed her face and dialed Holly's number.
Holly had mentioned that she would only discuss Ivy if Natalie managed to obtain Dean's inheritance.
Natalie had completely lost her chance in doing so, both in the present and the future, so she knew that Holly would not work with her.
Though reluctant, she had to accept the reality. She was never one to deny failure.
She was simply in so much pain, and she couldn't discuss this with her parents, as they would be worried.
To her surprise, the call was answered right away.
