Chapter 1150


    "Yes." He handed her the tissue and stared into her eyes. "Why are you tearing up?"


    She wiped her tears with the tissue and said, "Probably because it''s been too long since I had spicy


    food so I am kind of struggling to stomach it; besides, when I think about how caring you''ve been to me


    and the children, I feel like I have the entire world in the palm of my hand."


    "Isn''t that a good thing?" His heart ached at the tears in her eyes.


    "It''s good! I am happy.” She picked up the ss to take a sip of water. "Elliot, I came across ament


    on social mediast night that said you value money and profit above all. That person even said that


    you married me because I am not so bad at earning money as well; that you probably wouldn''t marry


    me if I can''t make money."


    Elliot gaped at what she said.


    "That''s why I asked you the question just now," she continued.


    "Do you think that all the things I''ve said to you in the past are nothing but lies?" He questioned in a


    cold tone.


    "Of course I trust you. I just can''t help but worry when I see thosements." She forced a smile. "I''m


    not suspecting you of anything. It''s just a discussion.”


    "You are doubting me, Avery." Elliot instantly lost his appetite. "You wouldn''t have asked if you had any

    doubt about it at all."


    "Fine. Let''s say I am having doubts about you, but you can have doubts about me, too!"


    "What for? I have no doubt about you."


    "Tell me, then. What’s more important, money or me?" She stared at him seriously and requested for


    an answer once again. " Do you value yourpany above me?"


    He had not expected that Avery would cling to the topic; it almost felt like she was provoked in some


    way and her tears were caused by something else, instead of the spicy food as she had imed.


    "Have I failed in providing you a sense of security?" He stared dazedly at her. "It''s not like we have only


    known each other for a few days or a few years. Do you really not know the answer to those


    questions? You can''t seem to believe it even if I gave you the answers."


    Tears welled up in her eyes once again at his questions.


    "It has nothing to do with a sense of security. I just want to hear you say it." She tried her best to hold


    back her tears >c+?TIQ > continued wilfully, "It''s not like I''m


    asking you if you love me every single day."


    Elliot choked at what she said and instantly felt as though she had him wrapped around her fingers.


    "If money means more to me than you, I wouldn’t spend so much time with you or the kids. I would be


    working in the office right now, trying to make more money instead of sitting right here with you, eating


    spicy meat stew that I don''t particrly like."


    He had dered his stance with his words, and Avery felt content with his answer.


    "If I want yourpany, will you give it to me?" She lowered her gaze and finally asked the question.


    "Why would you want mypany?" He considered it sincerely and said, "The twopanies you


    own aren''t enough work for you? If it’s money you want, I can just give you all the money I earn, or you


    can sell mypany."


    Avery was rendered speechless at his response. She could tell that he was truly willing to hand his


    money to such an extent, so she had no reasonable excuse to ask Elliot for hispany.


    "Are you nervous, Elliot?" She slowly began to regain herposure. "Did my question just now scare


    you?"


    "What scares me isn''t your question, but the fact that I don''t know why you cried." He pushed the te


    of fruits towards her." Have some fruit!"


    "I guess I''ve had too much free timetely. People''s minds tend to run wild then they have nothing to


    do. " She took a slice of apple and fed it to him. "I won''t have doubts anymore. Elliot, thank you for


    loving me. I will love you more and more from now on."


    All the gloominess in his heart faded at her promise, but he was still slightly concerned. "Are you sure


    you are okay?"


    "I''m fine. My period is around the corner so my hormones are all over the ce and I''m a bit


    emotional." She smiled gently. "I should eat spicy food from now on. It''s proven that what''s in the past


    is best kept in memories. It''s more important to


    treasure what''s in the present."
