Chapter 1078
“She’s a good cook and makes me whatever I want to eat. She’s very good to me.”
“She can also knit. The sweater she knitted me is better than anything that you could get at a store.
“She cheers me up when I’m unhappy.
“She takes me out on dates when I’m happy. You should all know that I’ve always been a boring person, but she’s never held that against me.
“When I’m sick, she would stay up all night and take care of me with devotion. She’s an outstanding mother, entrepreneur, and an amazing wife.”
It was as if Elliot had too much to drink and was on a drunken ramble. Avery was in a daze from his praise and wanted to dig a hole and hide inside it.
She had never thought of herself as someone that extraordinary.
She suspected that Elliot was describing his dream wife.
“Why are you so talkative today, Elliot?” She poured him a glass of juice in hopes that he would calm down.
Elliot took a sip of juice and got even more excited. He fixed his deep-set eyes on Avery, then asked, “Why do you want to marry me, Avery?”
Avery was at a loss for words.
She saw what he was thinking through his eyes.
He wanted her to praise him just as he had just done to her.
“Let’s hear about why you want to marry Elliot, Avery! You’re such a catch, after all. You must have plenty of admirers!” someone in the crowd urged.
Avery awkwardly cleared her throat, then mustered up her courage and said, “I think I’m rather shallow. I’m willing to marry him not only because he’s handsome and has a muscular body, but also because of his money. Yes, you heard me right. I love him for his money.”
The crowd was speechless.
Elliot gazed at her with misty eyes and encouraged her to continue.
“He’s a conceited man with high self-esteem, so he’s always pissing me off. Every time I get upset with him, he would buy expensive gifts for me.” Avery revealed her true feelings. “He often buys me expensive jewelry. I don’t like wearing them, but I like looking at them.
“Not only did he give me all of his passwords to his social media accounts, but he also gave me the passwords to his credit card CVNqyF>3 security deposit box. He was worried that I wouldn’t remember all of them, so he wrote them all down in a little notebook and gave it to me,” Avery
added
At that moment, all the women at the table were drowning in jealousy!
“Also, guess what he said when I asked him how much he would pay me to marry him.” Avery deliberately kept everyone guessing for a moment, then said, “He said he would wrap himself up and give himself to me.”
“Holy sh*t! Have you always been this generous to women, Elliot? You’re really giving yourself away?” someone gasped in disbelief.
“Seeing how loving Avery and Elliot are makes me believe in true love! This is sweeter than any of the romantic dramas I’ve seen on TV! No script would compare to this!”
“Elliot, if I’d known you were such a loving man, I would’ve worked harder back then to make you mine!” said one of the women regretfully.
“Your hard work won’t pay off. Elliot likes women like Avery who are both beautiful and intelligent. You might be beautiful, but can you cook? Do you know how to knit a sweater? Can you treat sick patients?”
“Fine! I admit defeat! Avery really is incredible!”
After a joyful lunch, Avery dragged Elliot off to rest.
When they retumed to their room, Elliot chuckled, “You love me for my money?”
“When did I ever cook for you?” Avery retorted.
“Do you want to know my passwords? I’ll write them all down in a notebook for you.” Then, Elliot walked over to the desk and searched for a pen and paper.
