Avery lay down and covered her body with the blanket.

"What are you talking about? You are overthinking things." She covered him with the blanket as well.
"Eric really didn't lure you over to his side?" He wrapped an arm around her waist.
"You heard every word I said when I was on the phone with him, didn't you?" She chuckled. "You can go behind my back and ask him about it." "I don't sneak around like that," he said pridefully. "If I go to see him in private, I might not be able to hold back the urge to beat him up." "Don't do that, Elliot," Avery said. "You are too old to fight with him, and you are just going to get hurt. I will be sad if you get hurt." "... Avery, I'm not that fragile." "Guys will always be teenagers at heart, but you need to face reality. You are losing calcium as you age, and you can't do things that you did when you were younger. If something happens, it will take you much longer to heal, or you might never bechealthy again. It's not worth it. I wouldn't be as worried if you said that you were going to let the bodyguards do it. Just don't go around beating people, okay?" "Alright, Avery. I will remember that." "But I will find out if you go to Eric with your bodyguards." She held him closer and caressed his cheek. "Why don't you go to work tomorrow? Or maybe we can go on a trip." She realized that she could not let Elliot laze around at hany longer.

"I'm not interested in fixing cars," he said miserably. "What if our son insists on becoming a mechanic? What should I do with my company?" "Well... If that's what he wants, it's fine." "Who's going to inherit my company, then?" Layla had inherited Tate Industries, and Hayden had his own empire in Bridgedale; it was certain that he would live permanently in Bridgedale and would only return to Aryadelle during festive seasons. "Just leave it to the professional managers! Robert can just get money from the profits every year. That way, he will have money and won't have to bear the stress as you do That sounds great." Elliot held his tongue.
el "Alright, Elliot. Stop stressing yourself over this. You were just done with worrying about our daughter's marriage, and now you start worrying about Robert's career. Just relax!" she said gently "Yeah. Let's sleep." Elliot did not want to stop Avery from going to sleep. Once she fell asleep, he opened his eyes in the pitch-dark room with countless thoughts running through his mind.
He was not interested in extraterrestrial lives or multi-dimensions. He only wanted to live his life and take care of his children.
Elliot could not help but begin thinking back on his life, of all the crises he had been through, of all the people who helped or betrayed him... His only regret was never finding Ivy.
