NovelApp"I have a high threshold for pain. There might be sdiscomfort, but I haven't sensed anything." "Haha! Maybe. You aren't really afraid of pain." It's been a while since Avery had heard him joking and felt relieved that he did.
"I'm not afraid of dying, either," he said, taking advantage of the relaxing atmosphere. "Avery, you might be a genius, but you won't be able to recreate a device exactly like the one inside my head in such a short period of time." The smile on Avery's face froze as she was confused by why Elliot had brought up such a heavy subject.
"Elliot, have you seenbringing people inside the house and saw them leave?" She tried to comprehend what he had meant by what he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I did hear them," he admitted. However, he did not say what he had done earlier because of that, but because he had seen the messages Sebastian sent Avery the night before.
He had been waiting for Avery to mention this to him since last night, but she had remained quiet about it. Judging from her behavior, he realized that she had no intention of informing him about this development.
He could not believe that she was not going to talk to him about something so important, despite the fact that she had agreed not to hide this sort of thing from him. Clearly, she did not intend on keeping her promise, but she would not have been able to keep it a secret for much longer.
Soon, Angela would marry Dean and once the deed was done. Dean would use Angela to execute his plan. Elliot would eventually find out about it no matter if Avery decided to obey Dean or not. Had he not seen the message the night before, he would be the last person to know and he felt frustrated about it.
"Elliot, I know that you think what I'm about to do is hard, and everyone else thinks the same, which is why I plan on hiring more people. I stand by my point: What Angela can do, I can do better," she said confidently.
"And how long will it take?" he asked sharply.
Avery's cheeks flushed. She did not know and w long it would take her et if she wanted to lie, could not possibly make update.
"I can't wait for long," he said in response to her silence. "Soon, something will go wrong with the device in my head." "Don't worry. If I can't resolve it, I will take you to Angela," she consoled him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I don't like to be at someone's mercy. I won't go to Angela," he said. "Neither should you." Avery had not expected him to say such a thing and was rendered speechless.
Noticing the expression on her face, he added, "I know you can't do that, though. You won't listen to me." "Elliot, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but if something happens to you and I can't solve it, will definitely go to Angela for help. It tookso much effort to finally get you back. I can't let anything happen to you again." She took his hand and tried to calm him down. "Angela isn't really that bad of a person." Elliot pulled his hand away, and just then, they heard honking and turned around.
A black car stopped beside them and as the car window rolled down, Hayden's face appeared behind it.
Hayden had just arrived hfrom school.
"You are back, Hayden!" She smiled at her son while silently grabbing Elliot's hand once again. "Why don't you bead in first? We are about to go inside as well!" Hayden noticed that the two were in an argument because he saw Elliot pulling away from Avery's touch.
