Chapter 1144


    He opened her contact history and Cole''s name came into sight. Without a moment of hesitation, he


    dialed Cole''s number and Cole picked up in no time.


    "Avery, I told you that I will update you tomorrow."


    ''Update?'' Elliot''s heart sank and asked, " What update?"


    Cole froze and thought to himself, ''Why is it Elliot''s voice on the other end?! This is Avery''s number, but


    why is Elliot the one calling?''


    Cole nced at the screen of his phone to confirm that it was Avery''s number, before taking a deep


    breath.


    ''Why are you calling me with Avery''s phone? Don''t you have your own phone?" Cole panicked. "Do you


    need something? There''s nothing left to say between us!"


    Elliot gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of update are you supposed to give Avery tomorrow? Spill!"


    "Go ask Avery! I "


    "If you have no concern for your life, I can send my men after you right now!" Elliot could kill Cole as


    easily as it would be for him to squish an ant. He used to hold back under consideration that Cole was


    his nephew, but with that no longer being true, he could act at any moment.


    Frightened, Cole''s face turned green." Don''t! I will tell you!"


    Elliot suppressed his anger and waited for an exnation.


    "Here''s what it is." Not daring to tell Elliot the truth, Cole proceeded to make up a story. "Adrian hasn''t


    been feeling so well. Since Avery used to be his doctor, we went to Avery about his condition. Avery


    wants us to hand Adrian to her so she can treat him, but my dad doesn''t feel sofortable about


    that..."


    "You mean your dad doesn''t feel sofortable about me!" Elliot said sarcastically.


    "I don''t know what''s on his mind, but this is it. Wouldn’t Avery be mad if she finds out that you went


    through her phone?"


    "This is between me and her and it''s none of your business!" Elliot said, before hanging up.


    Avery came out of the shower to find Elliot standing with a dark expression, she walked towards him in


    confusion.


    "I went through your phone just now," he confessed, "You didn’t call Mike."


    She was stunned for a moment ?d!:SLR= started to panic, but somehow managed to maintain her


    "Yes, I did," He admitted honestly, "Is there something I''m not supposed to see?"


    "No!" She avoided his eyes for a split moment, before grabbing her phone from the nightstand to


    nce through the contact history; Elliot had called Cole and the phone callsted for two minutes. She


    was curious as to what they talked about during those two minutes, so with a nervous heart, she asked,


    "What have you two talked about?"


    She was worried that Cole would crumble before Elliot''s threats and end up telling him everything.


    Elliot stared at her face thoughtfully, before answering, "He told me what you two talked about."


    "Oh? And what did he say?" Her heart sank.


    "Tell me. I’m worried that he might lie."


    "Tell me what you''ve talked about and I will know if he was lying."


    Elliot seemed to struggle in trusting her. She had been on her phone and lied to him more frequently


    than before. Even if it truly concerned Adrian, was this necessary?


    "It''s about Adrian." She took his hand." Elliot, Adrian is really having a hard time, and Henry isn''t

    treating him well either."


    "That''s none of your business." He shook her hand off and continued in a stern tone," You can’t save


    the world and everyone in it. Just focus on your own life!"


    He strode into the bathroom and mmed the door shut.


    Avery felt a lump in her throat at the realization that Elliot was mad at her; ever since they got married,


    he had been very careful with his temper. He had been gentle and patient with her and her children.


    Not only was he a great husband, but he was also a wonderful father.
