Chapter 1145


    If possible, she wished that their lives could continue to be as peaceful and wonderful as it had been.


    Though Elliot was a sensitive and skeptical man, he was also very easy to please and would usually


    forgive her as soon as she set her ego aside to apologize.


    When he came out of the shower, she pulled him towards the bed despite the dark expression on his


    face and the anger in his eyes. Once hey down, she turned off the lights and said, "Hubby, I..."


    "Who''s more important, Adrian or me?" He interrupted her.


    "Of course you." She held onto him tight and took his familiar scent in. "I just want to do the best that I


    can. Adrian is Shea''s brother, after all. I promise that I won''t let this affect our lives.” "It already did," he


    said, "You said that you are upset. Do you think I can be in a good mood when you are sad?"


    "I promise I won''t let it get to me again." She leaned towards his cheek and nted a kiss on his face.


    "You need to attend the parents'' meeting tomorrow and you can''t just keep a mask on the entire time.


    Let me find my concealer to help cover the bruise on your face tomorrow."


    "Okay."


    The two drifted off to sleep soon after they made up.


    A brand new day started and Avery woke up earlier than usual. She had promised to help Elliot cover


    his bruise, but she didn''t bring her concealer along when they moved the day before, and she only had


    her foundation.


    Elliot opened his eyes to find her bustling at the dressing table.


    "Avery, what are you doing?"


    "I''m looking for a foundation." She took out all her foundations to look for a shade that better matched


    his skin color, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn''t seem to find an appropriate shade. "I


    forgot to bring my concealer, so I can only use foundation, but the shades are a bit too pale so I don''t


    know if these can cover up your bruises."


    He immediately got out of bed and leaned toward her. "Try it."

    "Oh." She opened a bottle of foundation, squeezed a small amount out, and applied it to his face. Once


    it was evenly spread, his entire face instantly looked a shade lighter.


    "It''s a bit pale, but it does a good job covering the bruise." She showed him his reflection in the mirror.


    He looked into the reflection =h!;TMR> joked, "I look like a clown."


    "Haha! This is already the darkest shade I have and the others are even lighter. If you don''t want to


    look so pale, I can get the driver to go buy a darker shade. It''s a bit early though, I''m not sure if the


    malls are open."


    It wasn''t her fault that she had fair skin, so all the foundations she owned were of a lighter shade; on


    top of that, she had no ws apart from her dark circles, so she didn''t have the habit of using


    concealer.


    "Just use this one! It''s fine as long as you can''t see the bruises." Hepromised.


    She took him to the bathroom to remove the makeup and waited for him to wash up before putting the


    foundation on him again.


    At eight in the morning, she sent Elliot and La off. After having her breakfast, she went back to the


    room to go back to sleep.


    She closed her eyes for a while, before opening them abruptly again. She grabbed her phone and


    called Cole.


    He had agreed to give her an answer today and they should have reached a consensus by now.


    Cole picked up immediately.


    "Cole, have you talked to your dad?"


    "I did," Cole drawled, "We only want Elliot''s shares, and nothing else. Avery, if you really want to save


    Shea''s life, you should figure out a way to get Elliot on board!"
