NovelEnglishRuby had seen how Avery had traveled a thousand miles for Elliot, and she had concluded that Elliot enjoyed women who were more proactive. She had adopted passivity in the past; but that night, she was going to take the lead.
She did not expect Elliot to push her hands away.
"Ruby, | forgot to tell you one thing." He straightened his robe and redid his belt, knotting it tightly. "I have problems down there." Ruby was stunned. She thought she had misheard him and furrowed her brows.
She had discussed this possibility with the nanny. The nanny had told her that he could not possibly suffer from such problems, since he had fathered three children with Avery.
She blushed awkwardly and retracted her hands, not knowing what to do. "Then, what about before..." "That was the past. A man over thirty does not have the same energy he had in his youth." Elliot openly admitted his problem. "My problem is worse than other men. | can't announce this to the public. | hope you don't tell other people, too. You can have children with other men. | will treat them as mine." Ruby was speechless. She stood there, shocked. She slowly began shaking her head.

"If you don't want to look for a man, | can help you." Elliot stared down at her. "What do you think of my bodyguard? Although he is one of your father's men, he is smart. If go to him, it will save you a lot of trouble.
Your father will not pester us about having children." Ruby was scared half to death. She said reluctantly, "But didn’t you recently sleep with Avery? Why could you do it then?" "Who told you | had slept with her?" said Elliot. "Did you see us do it?" Ruby shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I did not see it, but I had always thought that you were normal.
After all, you and Avery have three children..." "That was the past. If | was an ordinary man, | would surely have reacted to a beautiful woman like you.” His finger brushed her face.
Ruby lowered her gaze to look at his body. He had not reacted to her.
"You can either be honest with your father or have children with the bodyguard. Pick one." Elliot retracted his finger Ruby's mind was a mess. She did not like any of the choices he had presented her with.
"Why don't | go with you to the hospital and get this treated? What if they can treat you? " she said, pleading her case.
"Treat my condition? Do you want others to discover my problem?" said Elliot.
"No. | just want you to be healthy." "Apart from that, | am healthy." Elliot was reiterating his point. He could not satisfy her.
A man would not say such words unless he truly could not do it. Her face was ashen. Her body went cold.
"If you want a divorce, tell your father what | told you." Elliot sat by the bed. "Your brother has just passed away.
Your father is still grieving. Don't trouble him. with our matters." "I won't divorce you," exclaimed Ruby, taking a seat next to him. "Even if you can't sleep with me, | won't divorce you. Elliot, let's go to bed. Let me think about it!" "Hmm." Elliot raised his hand and switched off the lights.

He had seen Avery when he exited the hotel, bearing Christopher's coffin.
Nick had told him that Avery was there. He had also told him that Avery was wearing a blue dress. It was why it had been easy for him to spot her in the crowd.
Although he could only afford her brief glance, he had still seen the tears that had stained her face.
That image had been burned into his mind. He could not wipe it away. He still believed his own feelings. His inner heart would guide him to those who loved him and against those who were using him.
He already had three children. He did not want another child. If he could not bear the responsibility of being a father to the first three, he did not see why he should have any more. Which was why he would rather admit to impotency than to have a child with Ruby.
At the hotel, Avery was staring at the ceiling.
