Chapter 96


    At ten in the morning, a Rolls-Roice stopped in front of the gate of an oldmunity house. The door


    of the car flung open, and a tall figure alighted the vehicle. Elliot was wearing a long navy blue quilted


    coat, a gray scarf, and a pair of brand new leather boots. Even though he was dressed warmly, his face


    was pale and haggard. His cold and noble temperament was ipatible with everything around him.

    The driver and bodyguard followed Elliot, carrying expensive gifts.


    Laura trotted from the kitchen to open the door when she heard a knock. She was shocked to see


    Elliot.


    "Why are you here?" Laura froze, then she opened the door, urging, "Come in! I heard that you are


    sick. Are you okay?"


    Although it was early winter, it was not cold enough to wear a jacket.


    Elliot nced at the clean floor and hesitated. "Do we need to remove our shoes?"


    Laura immediately shook her head. "No, there''s no need! Come in!"


    She invited Elliot inside and saw the gift boxes the driver and bodyguard were carrying.


    "Why did you bring so many gifts?" Laura asked,


    confused.


    Avery had taken all her luggage with herst night. Laura had dared not ask her anything. However,


    she guessed that her daughter had broken up with Elliot for good, which was why she had dragged her


    luggage back. Laura had never expected Elliot toe over.


    "I''m here to pay you a visit." Elliot walked over to the sofa and sat down.


    After the driver and bodyguard ced the gifts in the living room, they left. Laura found the remote and


    turned on the heating.


    "Oh... You and Avery...st night..." Laura appeared to be in a dilemma, and she did not know how to


    broach the subject.


    Elliot looked at Laura sincerely, and he said, "I didn''t see herst night. There''s some misunderstanding


    between her and me."


    "Oh... She rarely tells me anything about you. So I don''t know what to say." Laura poured him a cup of


    hot water and added, "You don''t look that great. You should rest at home."


    "I''m fine." He took the ss and held it in both hands.


    Laura sat at the end of the sofa, and she looked at him. A sick person was not in full control of their


    bearings, and Elliot had looked somanding and unapproachable thest time she had seen him.


    Laura hesitated, and she finally asked the question she had been harboring in her heart, "Elliot, what


    do you feel for Avery? I divorced her father when she was very young, and she did not get to


    experience life with him... You should be able to imagine the environment she grew up in; she did not


    get any normal sort of love. If you don''t like her, please set her free."


    "This is not the time to talk about divorce," Elliot took a sip of water and said, "Recently, she got closer


    to a man, Charlie Tierney. You may not know him, but I do."


    Laura immediately understood what he meant." You''re saying that Charlie isn''t a nice guy?"


    Elliot nodded. "I hope you can persuade her to stay away from Charlie Tierney."


    Laura nodded again and again. "Okay, I''ll tell her when she wakes up."


    Elliot frowned and nced at his watch. It was now half-past ten in the morning. Avery was still asleep?


    Laura exined, "She went to bedtest night, so she hasn''t woken up yet."


    As soon as Laura said that, the bedroom door opened, and Avery came out in her pajamas. Her long


    hair was messy, and she was still half-asleep. However, her dull eyes suddenly lit up when she saw


    Elliot. 1


    "Avery, Elliot is here for you. I''m going to buy some food. Have a good chat with him," Laura made an


    excuse and went out.


    Avery nced at the heater. Then, she looked at


    Elliot''s quilted coat.


    It seemed that he was still sick.
