Chapter 1094
“The guests are having lunch in the banquet hall, Sir,” Chad said after asking one of the staff members outside the hall. “How about you get something to eat at the banquet hall first? Avery might be there right now, too.” Elliot pulled his phone out of his pocket. His phone screen was cracked, but the phone still worked. He found Avery’s number and dialed it. His call was answered very quickly. “Avery.”
“Elliot.”
The both of them spoke at the same time.
“Where are you right now?”
“Where are you right now?”
Avery and Elliot asked simultaneously.
They fell into silence. A few seconds later, Avery said, “I’m at the villa. What about you?”
“I’m coming to you now.”
“Alright.”
Avery hung up the phone and felt relieved. Judging by Elliot’s tone, it seemed like he had calmed down now. It was just as Tammy had said. Once they got through today, their lives would gradually become stable.
From now on, there would be nothing else that could bring them down. Elliot returned to the villa five minutes later. When his and Avery’s eyes met, they stood in stunned silence.
Ellio did not expect Avery to have already changed out of her wedding dress. She had also taken off her makeup and let down her hair.
She was now wearing a casual dress and staring back at him in the natural beauty that he was familiar with.
On the other hand, Avery was shocked to see the bruises and bandages on Elliot’s face. “Are we canceling the wedding?” Elliot asked uneasily. Avery took in a sharp breath and said, “It’s already after two in the afternoon, Elliot…” “Didn’t we agree to go through with the wedding no matter what happened?” “Are you sure you still want to continue with the wedding in your current state? Your clothes are all messed up, and do you want the scare the guests with the bruises on your face? If you truly wanted to have the wedding, then why couldn’t you have put the fight off until after the
wedding?”
Avery did not want to chastise him, but he was actually hounding her!
Not once while she was waiting in the hall for him did he even think about how she felt.
Elliot knew he was in the wrong CRTIkucf did not say anything further. “Go get changed. I’ll ask the butler to send up some lunch.” Avery shoved him toward the bedroom. “I’ve thought about it. It’s fine even if we don’t have the ceremony. Today would still be our wedding day.” “Do you find me embarrassing right now?” Elliot asked once he entered the bedroom.
Avery placed some clean clothes on the bed, then responded casually, “It’s because you’re embarrassed that you’re worried others would find you embarrassing. Even if you were in an embarrassing situation, you’re not the only one going through that. The children and I have gotten entangled with you a long time ago.”
Elliot took off his coat, then unfastened his tie. “How’s Layla?” “She cried from the shock,” Avery answered truthfully. “Don’t care about other people right now. Just focus on yourself. Stay home for the next few days and don’t go anywhere. Let’s let things calm down for now.”
“You really do feel embarrassed by me.” Perhaps it was because he had let out all of his anger earlier, but Elliot would not feel angry now no matter what Avery said.
“So what if I’m embarrassed? So what if I find you bothersome? Do you want me to break up with you?” Avery complained as she put his dirty laundry in the laundry basket. When she emerged from the bathroom, Elliot had already finished changing. “We got married today.” Elliot fixed his deep-set eyes on Avery’s face. “You’re my wife now.” “You better see me as your wife,” Avery rebuked, “You look miserable right now. If someone got a photo of you, you’ll turn into a viral sensation online again.
