Chapter 1356


    Ruby had seen how Avery had traveled a thousand miles for Elliot, and she had concluded that Elliot


    enjoyed women who were more proactive. She had adopted passivity in the past; but that night, she


    was going to take the lead.


    She did not expect Elliot to push her hands away.


    "Ruby, I forgot to tell you one thing." He straightened his robe and redid his belt, knotting it tightly. "I


    have problems down there."


    Ruby was stunned. She thought she had misheard him and furrowed her brows.


    She had discussed this possibility with the nanny. The nanny had told her that he could not possibly


    suffer from such problems, since he had fathered three children with Avery.


    She blushed awkwardly and retracted her hands, not knowing what to do. "Then, what about before..."


    "That was the past. A man over thirty does not have the same energy he had in his youth." Elliot openly


    admitted his problem. "My problem is worse than other men. I can''t announce this to the public. I hope


    you don''t tell other people, too. You can have children with other men. I will treat them as mine."


    Ruby was speechless. She stood there, shocked. She slowly began shaking her head.


    "If you don''t want to look for a man, I can help you." Elliot stared down at her. "What do you think of my


    bodyguard? Although he is one of your father''s men, he is smart. If go to him, it will save you a lot of


    trouble. Your father will not pester us about having children."


    Ruby was scared half to death. She said reluctantly, "But didn’t you recently sleep with Avery? Why


    could you do it then?"


    "Who told you I had slept with her?" said Elliot. "Did you see us do it?"


    Ruby shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I did not see it, but I had always thought that you were


    normal. After all, you and Avery have three children..."


    "That was the past. If I was an ordinary man, I would surely have reacted to a beautiful woman like


    you.” His finger brushed her face.


    Ruby lowered her gaze to look at his body. He had not reacted to her.


    "You can either be honest with your father or have children with the bodyguard. Pick one." Elliot


    retracted his finger


    Ruby''s mind was a mess. She did not like any of the choices he had presented her with.


    "Why don''t I go with you to the hospital and get this treated? What if they can treat you? " she said,


    pleading her case.


    "Treat my condition? Do you want others to discover my problem?" said Elliot.


    "No. I just want you to be healthy."


    "Apart from that, I am healthy." Elliot was reiterating his point. He could not satisfy her.


    A man would not say such words unless he truly could not do it. Her face was ashen. Her body went


    cold.


    "If you want a divorce, tell your father what I told you." Elliot sat by the bed. "Your brother has just


    passed away. Your father is still grieving. Don''t trouble him. with our matters."


    "Hmm." Elliot raised his hand and switched off the lights.


    He had seen Avery when he exited the hotel, bearing Christopher''s coffin.


    Nick had told him that Avery was there. He had also told him that Avery was wearing a blue dress. It

    was why it had been easy for him to spot her in the crowd.


    Although he could only afford her brief nce, he had still seen the tears that had stained her face.


    At the hotel, Avery was staring at the ceiling.
