She wiped her tears with the tissue and said, "Probably because it's been too long since | had spicy food so | am kind of struggling to stomach it; besides, when | think about how caring you've been toand the children, | feel like | have the entire world in the palm of my hand." "Isn't that a good thing?" His heart ached at the tears in her eyes.

"Elliot, | cacross a comment on social media last night that said you value money and profit above all. That person even said that you marriedbecause | am not so bad at earning money as well; that you probably wouldn't marryif | can't make money." Elliot gaped at what she said.
"That's why | asked you the question just now," she continued.
"Do you think that all the things I've said to you in the past are nothing but lies?" He questioned in a cold tone.
"Of course | trust you. | just can't help but worry when | see those comments." She forced a smile. "I'm not suspecting you of anything. It's just a discussion.” "You are doubting me, Avery." Elliot instantly lost his appetite. "You wouldn't have asked if you had any doubt about it at all.” "Fine. Let's say | am having doubts about you, but you can have doubts about me, too!" "What for? | have no doubt about you." "Tell me, then. What's more important, money or me?" She stared at him seriously and requested for an answer once again. " Do you value your company above me?" He had not expected that Avery would cling to the topic; it almost felt like she was provoked in sway and her tears were caused by something else, instead of the spicy food as she had claimed.

Do you really not know the answer to those questions? You can't seem to believe it even if | gave you the answers." Tears welled up in her eyes once again at his questions.
"It has nothing to do with a sense of security. | just want to hear you say it." She tried her best to hold back her tears >c+?TIQ > continued wilfully, "It's not like I'm asking you if you loveevery single day." Elliot choked at what she said and instantly felt as though she had him wrapped around her fingers.
"If money means more tothan you, | wouldn't spend so much twith you or the kids. | would be working in the office right now, trying to make more money instead of sitting right here with you, eating spicy meat stew that | don't particularly like." He had declared his stance with his words, and Avery felt content with his answer.
"If I want your company, will you give it to me?" She lowered her gaze and finally asked the question.
"Why would you want my company?" He considered it sincerely and said, "The two companies you own aren't enough work for you? If it's money you want, | can just give you all the money | earn, or you can sell my company.” Avery was rendered speechless at his response. She could tell that he was truly willing to hand his company to her, as long as there was a proper reason for it. However, he knew that she didn't love money to such an extent, so she had no reasonable excuse to ask Elliot for his company.
"Are you nervous, Elliot?" She slowly began to regain her composure. "Did my question just now scare you?" "What scaresisn't your question, but the fact that | don't know why you cried." He pushed the plate of fruits towards her." Have sfruit!" "I guess I've had too much free tlately. People's minds tend to run wild then they have nothing to do. " She took a slice of apple and fed it to him. "I won't have doubts anymore. Elliot, thank you for loving me. | will love you more and more from now on." All the gloominess in his heart faded at her promise, but he was still slightly concerned. "Are you sure you are okay?" "I'm fine. My period is around the corner so my hormones are all over the place and I'm a bit emotional.” She smiled gently. "I should eat spicy food from now on. It's proven that what's in the past is best kept in memories. It's more important to treasure what's in the present.”
