She could not let the children see him like that, so she rushed to her bedroom with her phone.
Her face turned even redder when she got into her bedroom.
Avery used to be familiar with Elliot. However, she felt strange when she looked at him through her screen again.
"I brought Robert out for a walk just now." She paused to adjust her emotions and asked, "Why did you video call Mrs. Cooper first instead of me?" She could not help but be mad at him for no reason, although it was just a small matter.
"| just wanted to see Robert, and | used to call Mrs. Cooper previously." His explanation did not calm her but made her even angrier, "Don't you want to see me?" Elliot pursed his lips when he heard her question.
"Are you mad atbecause | transferred your shares to Adrian—" "No," He spoke abruptly, interrupting her cranky thoughts, "I'm not. Didn't you go to work today? | just don't want you to work overtin the company." "What do you mean, work overtime?

"Edward treatedto dinner today, so | drank a little." "Is your body able to take wine already?" she was surprised.
"l only drank some, so it's fine." "Did you go with Ruby?" she asked casually.
Although she knew he would return to Aryadelle in the future, she still could not help feeling uncomfortable when she thought about him getting along with Ruby.

His reply finally made her feel at ease," What about Gary?" "Still in the hospital." "You look upset," she stared at his preoccupied look, "Were you busy lately? | was always the one who took the initiative to send you messages. Are you not planning to get back here?" He pondered, then replied, "Jed's girlfriend died." Elliot had neither taken the initiative to contact Avery nor felt happy because he felt guilty.
She froze =h$>U)Y= was speechless.
"That's why I've been urging you to leave Ylore. Because | can't protect anyone," he sounded hoarse.
"Elliot, | don't blyou... It has nothing to do with you!" Her eyes turned red, "Please stop taking revenge if that's too dangerous! | don’t want you to die! Please get out of there... hurry up and cback...” "I'll be fine." "You toldJed's girlfriend would be fine, but she's dead! How would you know if Gary won't kill you? People like him are moody, and he already knew that you harbored Jed's girlfriend. He'll not let you off..." The more Avery thought, the more danger she felt Elliot was in.
"I was just suspended." There was a knock on the bathroom door after Elliot had said that.
"Elliot, the nanny has prepared a sobering drink for you. I've put it on the nightstand." Ruby's voice was coming from outside the bathroom.
Avery felt uncomfortable when she heard Ruby’s gentle voice.
"You must find a way to cback quickly, " she demanded, "If you don't, I'll find a way to save you."
