Chapter 1624
"What’s there to worry about? Your husband knows I''m fine." Ben nced casually at Elliot.
“He did mention that you were fighting." Seeing that the conflict was resolved, Avery smiled and said, "the ceremony is starting
soon. Let''s go take our seats!"
"Will Elliot walk Shea down the aisle?"
“Adrian will. Adrian is her real brother, after all!" She exined, "we want Adrian to know that he is needed."
"Oh. | saw Hayden spending a lot of time with Adrian today." Ben scanned the crowd to look for Hayden and as expected, found
him sitting next to Adrian and the two were talking to one another.
“Hayden cares for Adrian. Didn''t Lilith buy Adrian a drawing pad? Adrian didn''t know how to use it and Hayden took the time to
watch tutorials online to teach him," Avery said and immediately realized that she had identally mentioned Lilith.
"| was the one who told Lilith to get that drawing pad." Reminded of the bitter past, Ben asked, "how are things between her and
that postgraduate student?"
“Nothing much! She mentioned that she wants to focus on her career now. The contest has ended and her job will start now."
"Oh... | saw those two huggingst time. What an eyesore," Ben said sarcastically before walking towards the audience area.
Avery nced at Elliot. "Seems like he isn''t that caught up with Lilith, otherwise he wouldn''t even mention her name."
"That''s because you mentioned that Lilith is focusing on her career for now."
“Fine! But that''s actually what Lilith said. Even when you like someone, you don''t always have to marry them." Avery pulled Elliot
to the audience area. "It''s their business, so it''s up to them!"
"Yeah. You go ahead. | will get the kids." Elliot walked her to her seat and went to look for La and Robert.
Avery was on the first row and Ben was seated on the second row. Though they weren’t on the same row, it didn''t stop them
from talking.
“After | left this morning, what did he tell you?" Ben whispered.
"He said that you were in a bad mood because of Lilith..." "Damn! How can he just make things up like that? F*ck that..." Ben
cursed ;e->TNT= came close to telling the truth, but managed to stop himselfst minute.
Avery stared at the veins that were popping out on his forehead curiously. "So what exactly were you two fighting about?"
“Um... About that... It''s a long story.”
Naturally, Ben couldn''t mention the true reason to Avery. If Avery found that Ruby had given birth and Elliot had seen the photo of
the baby, she would get into an argument with Elliot and Elliot would kill him for it.
"There''s this project in thepany
that | don’t think there''s need to
invest in, but he insists on in i
on sald projec, Oe rave me
akuirsd about that for a couple of
times now." Ben came up with a
random excuse. "My official position
might be Chief Financial Officer, but
I''m also a shareholder of Sterling
Group." Please read the original

"Before he started dating you, we
used to talk about work eve ere,
When we were busy GA Gse to stay
Up\néons or two at night, talking
about nothing but work," Ben
exined. Please read the original

"But it''s Shea''s wedding today. Everyone here is enjoying their time here."
"Yeah, | realized that after he pissed me off, so | came back." Ben forced a smile. "| am happy to see Shea on her big day."
Avery scowled. "! think your
exnation isn''t quite Cem eseine, 2
| also can''t y out@han would

you are even closer to him than | am,

Ben blushed and said shyly, "you''ve overestimated me. To him, | am hardly any match for you."
