Chapter 1096


    Avery was worried that the bruises on Elliot''s face would scare the children at the wedding, so she


    made him stay put at the vi. While he rested, she wanted him to think about everything that


    happened today and if there might have been a better solution if he had another chance to repeat the


    day.


    In truth, she was being resentful. He was partially responsible for the failed wedding ceremony, after all.


    "Why won''t you let him go out and meet the guests, Avery?" Ben asked after clearing his throat.


    "Everyone really wants to see him!" "He''s covered in injuries." Since Elliot was casting the me on


    her, Avery decided that she did not have to save him any face."


    Even his butt is bruised."


    Elliot was speechless.


    Ben was shocked and said, "Are you that seriously injured, Elliot? If you are, then you should rest."


    Elliot got up from the couch and said, "I''m fine."


    "Alright." Ben was in a dilemma.


    Elliot walked over to Avery and negotiated with her. "It''s our wedding day. It doesn''t seem right for us to


    stay in the room the whole time. We should go out and greet the guests."


    "You go ahead. Be back before nine," Avery said.


    Elliot promised, then lifted his wrist and nced at his watch.


    He had an hour and a half to be out and about.


    "Do you want toe with us to the banquet hall, Avery?" Ben asked. "Apart from Elliot, everyone''s


    excited to see you, too!"


    Avery felt like she was in a difficult position.


    What happened during the day stabbed her heart and left a deep scar.


    She could not forget the eyes that fell on her when she had stepped into the wedding hall in her


    wedding dress earlier that day.


    The guests were all their friends and family, but she still felt slightly embarrassed.


    "Let''s go together, Honey!" Elliot held Avery’s hand, then said, "Half of the guests left after dinner just


    now. There aren''t as many people left now."


    "That''s right. Some of the guests already left for the night. The only ones who stayed back at those that


    we''re closer to," Ben said. "The news of what happened today spread like wildfire. Elliot''s reputation


    took a hit


    Avery felt slightly better after listening to Ben’s advice.


    "Take more bodyguards with you when you go out from now on, Elliot," she said with concern. "I don''t

    want to see you giving trouble to others, but even more than that, I don''t want to see others giving you


    trouble."


    "Don''t worry, Avery. I hired a brand new team of bodyguards especially to protect you and Elliot. What


    happened earlier today won''t happen again," Ben said.


    Avery followed the two ben to the banquet hall.


    When everyone saw them arrive, they immediately approached them with warmth.


    "Do the two of you want to say your vows now?" Tammy knew that Avery regretted not being able to


    have the wedding ceremony today, so she tried to cheer her up and said, "The host is still here, after


    all. We could even go through the entire program!"


    Avery''s cheeks instantly flushed. "Stop messing around. I don’t have my vows with me." "Elliot! You


    ditched Avery at noon and made her cry at the altar. Now you have to say your vows in front of all of


    us!" Tammy challenged Elliot.


    Avery grabbed Tammy''s arm and asked her not to put Elliot in a tough spot.


    "Sure," Elliot said, then took Avery''s hand and led her to the stage.


    The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed down as the spotlight lit up and fell on both of them.


    The remaining guests cooperatively fell silent and waited for Elliot''s vows.
