Chapter 1096
Avery was worried that the bruises on Elliot’s face would scare the children at the wedding, so she made him stay
put at the villa. While he rested, she wanted him to think about everything that happened today and if there might
have been a better solution if he had another chance to repeat the day.
In truth, she was being resentful. He was partially responsible for the failed wedding ceremony, after all.
“Why won’t you let him go out and meet the guests, Avery?” Ben asked after clearing his throat. “Everyone really
wants to see him!”
“He’s covered in injuries.” Since Elliot was casting the blame on her, Avery decided that she did not have to save
him any face. “Even his butt is bruised.”

Ben was shocked and said, “Are you that seriously injured, Elliot? If you are, then you should
rest. 11
Elliot got up from the couch and said, “I’m fine.” “Alright.” Ben was in a dilemma.
Elliot walked over to Avery and negotiated with her. “It’s our wedding day. It doesn’t seem right for us to stay in the
room the whole time. We should go out and greet the guests.”
“You go ahead. Be back before nine,” Avery said.
Elliot promised, then lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch.
He had an hour and a half to be out and about.
“Do you want to come with us to the banquet hall, Avery?” Ben asked. “Apart from Elliot, everyone’s excited to see
you, too!” Avery felt like she was in a difficult position. What happened during the day stabbed her heart and left a
deep scar. She could not forget the eyes that fell on her when she had stepped into the wedding hall in her wedding
dress earlier that day. The guests were all their friends and family, but she still felt slightly embarrassed. “Let’s go
together, Honey!” Elliot held Avery’s hand, then said, “Half of the guests left after dinner just now. There aren’t as
many people left now.” “That’s right. Some of the guests already left for the night. The only ones who stayed back
at those that we’re closer to,” Ben said. “The news of what happened today spread like wildfire. Elliot’s reputation
took a hit CPTJnncd the internet is still cursing at him, but none of that would affect his career. As long as his career
isn’t affected, everything else is insignificant.”
Avery felt slightly better after listening to Ben’s advice. “Take more bodyguards with you when you go out from now
on, Elliot,” she said with concern. “I don’t want to see you giving trouble to others, but even more than that, I don’t
want to see others giving you trouble.” “Don’t worry, Avery. I hired a brand new team of bodyguards especially to
protect you and Elliot. What happened earlier today won’t happen again,” Ben said.

When everyone saw them arrive, they immediately approached them with warmth.
“Do the two of you want to say your vows now?” Tammy knew that Avery regretted not being able to have the
wedding ceremony today, so she tried to cheer her up and said, “The host is still here, after all. We could even go
through the entire program!”
Avery’s cheeks instantly flushed. “Stop messing around. I don’t have my vows with me.” “Elliot! You ditched Avery at
noon and made her cry at the altar. Now you have to say your vows in front of all of us!” Tammy challenged Elliot.
Avery grabbed Tammy’s arm and asked her not to put Elliot in a tough spot.
“Sure,” Elliot said, then took Avery’s hand and led her to the stage.
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed down as the spotlight lit up and fell on both of them. The remaining
guests cooperatively fell silent and waited for Elliot’s vows.
