NovelAppAvery was shocked by his words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Elliot, I've never wanted you to kill that child. That thought has never occurred to me, past or present." She grabbed onto his hands tightly. "Il won't let you commit murder." "I know you won't makedo it..." Elliot swallowed hard and stared at her with reddened eyes. "Avery, | will do anything for you because | know that you loveabove everything." "Of course | do, Elliot. | was just upset this morning. I've always known that she would give birth and raise her child, before coming to look for you. | should have cto terms with that long ago, and it's not okay that | keep getting mad over it," she whispered.
"Avery, thank you for accepting me." "You don’t have to thank me, Elliot, because you lovejust as much," she said confidently. "No one can pull us apart. | am going to spend the rest of my life with you, and in the end, we will be buried next to one another." "| feel the same," he agreed affectionately as he pulled her into his arms.
In Ylore, at eleven at night, Ivy started sobbing, and Ruby immediately woke up.
"Miss, go back to sleep. | will make her milk," the nanny responsible for taking care of Ivy whispered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRuby rubbed her eyes. "I'll do it! | need to take good care of Ivy. Whether | get to see Elliot again depends on this little baby." She got out of bed and took the bottle from the table to clean it.
"Miss, Elliot Foster won't see how tired you are from taking care of this baby. Even if he could, he won't feel anything for you," the nanny said. "Why do you have to fall for a man as cruel as Elliot out of all people?" Ruby froze.
After sanitizing the bottle, she swiftly added water to the formula for the baby.
"Elliot has never loved me, so I've never known what true love feels like. The reason | long for him to cback tois that he is the most brilliant man | could ever cacross," Ruby said, reluctant to admit defeat. "Only a man as outstanding as Elliot deserves me." The nanny sighed. "What about Paul? Paul is a brilliant man as well. He has been doing everything in his power to care for you ?h$=XLX> the child ever since you got pregnant." "He is far from enough. Had it not been for all the things the Gould family has given him, he would remain a mere orphan," Ruby said in contempt. "He doesn't hold a candle to Elliot." "But Elliot doesn't cfrom a great background either. | heard that he isn't a real Foster. His real parents were lowborn." The nanny's words provoked Ruby. "So what if his real parents were lowborn?" She held lvy to feed her while saying, "He started living in the Foster family at a very young age and was given the best education. The elegance in his presence is undeniable. He is different from all the others!" "Alright, Miss, if you say so. If that's the case, you should tell Paul to give up, or he will think that he stands a chance... | talked to him before, and he said that he doesn't mind taking care of Ivy with you." "Haha! He doesn't mind it, but | do," Ruby said sarcastically. "But | won't reject him. My dad is gone now, and | need him to work for me. He better remain by my side forever and do whatever | ask him to. He might not be a perfect candidate for a husband, but he is definitely a great subordinate." "Miss, if Paul finds out how you feel, he will be heartbroken." "If we both keep our mouths shut, how will he find out? | will be sure to string him on with hope..." Ruby finished feeding Ivy and handed the baby over to the nanny. "You should take care of her from here! | can't afford to becone of those ugly housewives because of this little girl." The nanny held Ivy and was about to leave, when Ruby could not help but say, "I still have hope. Ben said that he will be coming to visitsoon." "Really? Elliot must have sent him, then?" The nanny was taken by surprise.
"Yeah, that's what | thought as well, but he denied it when | asked." Content in the lie she was telling herself, Ruby continued, " Why else would he call the way here to visitand the baby if Elliot hadn't asked him to? That's why we need to take great care of Ivy. She is the only leverage | have left."
