He tried his best to look sincere and lied in a serious tone, "I'm exhausted from the summer camp.” Avery's heart softened and agreed." Darling, you need to tell me when you are stressed from school next time. Studying is important, but your health is the top priority." Hayden nodded.
Meanwhile, in Elliot's mansion in Aryadelle at eight in the evening.
Ben poured Elliot a glass of wine and Elliot turned it down.
"I can't drink anymore." Elliot had already drunk two glasses and was already blushing. His eyes were dazed, but he still remembered that he would be meeting Avery the next day; if he drank too much, it would affect his physical condition tomorrow.

"Don’t drink too much." Elliot glanced at him. "I know that you are doing this for me, but..." "But, what? But you won't put Avery on the spot, right? You don’t have the heart to because of your baby." Ben set the glass down and said, "1 just want to remind you that the stake you have been placing on her is only getting higher. If you don't take this opportunity to get out, there won't be another chance in the future." The daze in Elliot's eyes disappeared in an instant.
It was hard for him to fall in love; and so, when he finally did, he couldn't let go. It was his merit, and at the same time, his shortcoming.
"Elliot, as your friend, I've always wanted you to live a happy life. It doesn't matter how much you spend on women; | can look the other way as long as you are happy." Ben scowled and continued, "but Avery has hurt you over and over again. She's even done something so out of line this time. This is the consequence of your boundless tolerance.” Elliot lowered his gaze and lit a cigarette.
"If you can provide proof that she is not the woman in the video, | will apologize to her in however way she wants me to; but she fails to do so, | will take all her words as nothing but excuses," Ben said as he stared through the smoke at Elliot's face.
Elliot remained silent for a while, before moving his fingers towards the ashtray to shake off the ash.
"Ben, | used to view the world as black >e$; YKP? white with nothing worthy of interest, until | met Avery. She helped me see the colorful side of this world," Elliot said steadily, "she's a drug and I'm hooked." "I know it's hard for you to break up with her, Elliot, but if you refuse to take that step, you will keep getting hurt by her," Ben said.
"We'll see tomorrow! I'm tired." Elliot put out the cigarette with a dark expression, before heading upstairs.
The next day, at eight in the morning, Avery arrived in Elliot's mansion alongside her bodyguard.
According to what Avery knew about Elliot, he would usually wake up at eight in the morning during weekdays.

"Avery, have you been eating at all? There's no meat on your bones." Mrs. Cooper brought breakfast to her and said, "eat right here. Mr. Foster should be down at any minute." "Mrs. Cooper, I've eaten this morning,” Avery said awkwardly, "you don't have to bring me this much food." As the two spoke, Elliot came downstairs with another person following closely behind.
Ben had drunk too much the night before and stayed the night in Elliot's mansion.
Avery couldn't help but tense when she saw the two men.
If she was only facing Elliot, she would not feel nervous; but Mike had told her that Ben resented her for this incident, and had been trying to convince Elliot to break up with her.
Elliot walked towards her and spotted the glass of milk in her hand. "Have your breakfast first!" He said calmly.
Avery set the glass down. "I'm full" Ben immediately cut to the chase and asked, "Avery, you said that you are not the woman in that video. Do you have proof?" "No." She heard Ben, but couldn't stop herself from looking over at Elliot.
"What are you doing here, then? To make up a story, or beg for Elliot's forgiveness?" Ben said sarcastically, "stop looking at Elliot with those doe-eyes! It means nothing even if you get on your knees and beg today!”
