Chapter 1629


    Elliot stood outside the door for a while before going to look for Ben. Though Avery said that she stayed so long in the washroom


    because of a stomachache, he felt like there was more to the story.


    He saw Avery talking to Ben before the ceremony started, but he had no clue as to what they talked about.


    He found Ben''s room and went in to find him asleep, snoring.


    An hourter, Ben woke up because he wanted to go to the bathroom but was startled by the sight of Elliot when he opened his


    eyes.


    "Shit! Why are you here?" Ben rubbed his face in fright. "When did youe in? Why didn''t you wake me up? Have you been


    watching me sleep?" "What were you and Avery talking about? | don''t trust that big mouth of yours,” Elliot said.


    Ben sighed guiltily. "| need to use the bathroom. | didn''t expect you toe all the way here for that... Why, is Avery upset at


    you?" He walked into the washroom but left the door open.


    Elliot went over to shut the door with a dark look on his face.


    Three minutester, Ben came out after washing his face.


    "She brought up Ruby first. | did not take initiative in that discussion. She was curious if Ruby had given birth, and | told her that


    she did... After that... Avery asked for my phone to look at Ruby''s messages... | deleted the photo Ruby sent to me, so she didn''t


    see it.”


    Judging from what Ben said, Elliot immediately realized that Avery had been lying about having a stomachache, and she had


    actually been upset.


    “Elliot, | assure you that | was on your side. | told her that you feel nothing for Ruby and her daughter," Ben added.


    "Why was she upset, then?" Elliot retorted." She stayed in the washroom for a really long time."Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Oh... She is probably mad at me. | told her that even if she won''t acknowledge the child, it doesn''t mean that | have to distance


    myself from the child. She can ask that of you, but she can''t ask the same of me, can she?" Ben said righteously.


    Elliot''s expression instantly darkened. " You can think that, but you don''t have to say that out loud! Have you lost your mind to all


    the wine you drank?"


    Ben flushed a bright red >c-;PLT: stuttered," I... | will apologize to her, okay?"


    "There''s no use crying over spilled milk."


    "Fine, | won''t speak my mind from now on to avoid causing you any trouble," Ben admitted defeat and sobered. "She said that |


    am someone special to you. Someone who is not your brother by blood but closer than actual brothers would be... | guess she


    mistook my point of view for what you think as well.”


    "Good thing you finally noticed that," Elliot said gloomily.


    "Don''t be so depressed, Elliot. | know


    that as an outsider, what | said to


    Avery might sound a lit le cryet put
