Chapter 1058


    It was shocking. Hair-raising, even!


    That was the first time in all his years as an adult that he found out about such a secret.


    He wondered if his mother knew about it, assuming that she did because it was hard to imagine that a


    woman would be unaware of whether her son was hers.


    Henry did not remember his childhood too clearly.


    All he remembered from back then was Elliot being brought out to receive treatment from a prodigious


    doctor.


    He was cured sometimeter and brought back.


    Could the real Elliot have been reced


    during the treatment period?


    How else could anyone exin why Elliot was Nathan''s son?


    Judging from Nathan’s remark, Elliot probably knew about it already.


    However, Elliot did not n on doing anything about it, which showed that he was nning to continue


    his life as ''Elliot Foster''.


    After all, it would be such a privilege to be known as the Fosters'' young master!


    One could imagine how the public would gossip behind Elliot’s back if they knew that he was Nathan’s


    son. Such rumors would be intolerable for Elliot, considering how much he cared about his reputation.


    Henry, however, was equally as intolerant of the revtion because he was the rightful eldest son of


    the Fosters!


    He might still be able to let Elliot continue living as ''Elliot'' on the condition that something else was


    given in return.


    Henry decided to head back and start nning his heart-to-heart with Elliot. He could ideally achieve


    what he wanted without angering him.


    At Elliot''s home, Avery exined her decision to Elliot, who merely looked at her coldly without saying


    a word.


    There was nothing he could do after she brought Adrian to the house. After all, it was not like he could


    just chase the unwee guest out!


    That was exactly what he wanted to do, but it was simply too risky!


    The consequences would be even more troublesome if Nathan managed to get his hands on Adrian.


    It was better to let Adrian stay within his sight, because that way, he did not have to worry about


    anyone using Adrian to threaten him in the near future.


    "You just recovered from your fever, so you need to rest." Avery saw his emaciated appearance ?


    f(=YIS< led him to the side of the bed so he could sit. "Have you eaten breakfast? You need to eat


    something."

    "I did." He looked up at her. "Are you sure you don’t hate me?"


    That question stunned Avery for a moment.


    "Nobody put a gun to my head when I agreed to marry you." She sat down beside him and reached out


    to hold his big palm." You told me everything about you, and I gave it a lot of thought too. I don''t think


    you''re guilty, and I wouldn''t''ve been half as brave if I were you. " After she finished speaking, she


    wrapped her hands around his neck and nted a light kiss on his cheek.


    She had previously been ashamed to express her feelings and was always the passive one in the


    rtionship.


    The previous night’s events gave her a realization.


    The things he did for her were a lot more than just secretly preparing a marriage proposal to surprise


    her.


    In the same vein, she ought to also let him be aware of her true feelings and not alienate him.


    Downstairs in the living room, Mrs. Scarlet looked at Adrian from head to toe.


    Adrian was feeling a little awkward when he sat on the sofa, but he still obediently epted Mrs.


    Scarlet''s gaze.


    After observing him thoroughly, Mrs.


    Scarlet concluded that Adrian and Shea were very simr, not only in their looks but in their


    mannerisms and temperament too.


    Mrs. Scarlet saw Shea in Adrian and finally understood why Avery protected Adrian so much—the


    feelings they had for Shea could easily be projected onto Adrian.
