Chapter 1492
“I’m just afraid I can’t compare to you.” Elliot touted her, “You are young and beautiful, and more importantly, you are outstanding in ability. No matter what you do, you are the best in the industry. Unlike me, half of your feet are already in the coffin.”
Avery was speechless.
Whether Elliot was complimenting her, or mocking her with self-mockery, Avery couldn’t tell.
Avery: “Your IQ has improved a lot!”
“There is no IQ. Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart.” Elliot had a frank face.
“Oh, why didn’t I know you had half your foot in the coffin?” Avery said, raising his right leg to take a look.
Elliot took her hands away and put her legs away.
“Layla said it this morning.” Elliot said with a bit of sadness, “she came to ask me what it meant to put my foot in the coffin. I said this to describe someone getting old and she said, Dad, did you step into the coffin with half of your foot?”
Avery’s tears came out of her smile.
Avery: “Elliot, don’t blame Layla.”
Elliot: “I don’t blame her. I just hate Eric.”
Avery: “Don’t blame Eric. He just said it casually.”
Elliot: “He’s obviously trying to test your bottom line and get mad at me at the same time.”
“But I won’t listen to him.” Avery rested her head on his shoulder, overjoyed, “It’s been a long time since I saw you jealous, it feels so good.”
Elliot put her hand on her, raised her face and looked at her: “It feels good to see me angry?”
“When I was in Yonroeville, I was as angry as you are now every day. Even more angry than you are now.” Avery turned her head again leaning on his shoulder.
“I’m sorry.” After Elliot calmed down, he reflected on himself, “Did you get angry with me when you had a tumor in your head?”
Avery immediately raised her head and smiled, “How could you have such great magic power. And the tumor also. It doesn’t grow in a day or two. The disease develops to a certain extent and it is accumulated over time.”
Elliot: “I used to make you angry too.”
Avery: “Well, since you insist on saying that my illness is caused by you, then don’t make me angry in the future.”
