Chapter 1025
She plugged the blow-dryer in and walked towards him.
He opened his arm and wrapped them around her waist. Her heart throbbed, feeling as though she was being
surrounded by a love that was both gentle and heavy. She could sense the heat on his skin through his clothes, and
soon, she started to feel his breath on her as well.
“Elliot, have you been feeling really exhausted?” She asked. “Yes, but it’s worth it,” he drawled and breathed deeply
as he entered a relaxed state. “Close your eyes, then, and don’t think about anything.”

and though his hair dried thoroughly shortly after, she didn’t have the heart to turn it off because she could feel like
he had fallen asleep while leaning against her.
The weight of his body was pressed against her and she realized that she would have said yes if Nathan had asked
for 30 million a month at this very moment, she might have agreed. She wanted to help Elliot with his problems to
relieve him of the stress; but if she paid Nathan behind Elliot’s back, he would be mad, so she was stuck at a
crossroads. At night, she laid awake dazedly through the faint moonlight. Taking into consideration Elliot’s power,
Nathan had no means to force Elliot into acknowledging him as his father even if he tried, so Nathan was not the
biggest threat.
The biggest threat was Adrian.
It wasn’t that Adrian would do anything to Elliot, but once the truth of them switching identities came out, so would
the truth of the murder of Eason Foster.
Even if Elliot had the power to control Aryadelle, his reputation would still suffer over the publication of scandal
after scandal.
Tears rolled down her face silently, leaving behind a cooling sensation. She took a deep breath to relieve her heavy
heart. She had to protect Elliot from facing all these on his own; which was why she had to find Adrian and keep him
away from Nathan. Though Nathan was Elliot’s biological father, he only wanted money CRCO|rDP had no interest
in the family. If Elliot refused to fulfill his requirement, he could go on a suicide mission to destroy Elliot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the dark, Elliot instantly woke up to the sound of someone sobbing miserably. He immediately woke up from the
daze when he recognized that it was Avery’s voice and sat up right away. He turned on the lights and looked over to
the woman next to him, who was sobbing while covering her face. “Avery! Avery, what’s wrong?!” His heart ached
at the sight as he pulled her hands away from
her face. “Are you hurt anywhere? Don’t cry, talk to me!” “I… I’m fine… I had a nightmare…”
She had not been asleep at all. The thought of the possibility that the happiness she finally found with Elliot could be
destroyed at any moment had brought her to tears. She didn’t want to wake him, but she simply couldn’t help
herself. “What kind of nightmare? You seem so upset.” He gently wiped away her tears with his fingertip and
continued guiltily, “Have I been too busy and neglected you?”
