Chapter 1775
"Early retirement or one week leave. You pick." It was not that Elliot did not approve of Ben taking a
leave. He only felt that half a month was too long.
Their current workload was heavy. Ben was not thinking about helping to offload some pressure, but
instead he was thinking of going off to pursue his woman. How could Elliot feel good about that?
Not to mention that Lilith was his sister. Ever since he had divorced Avery, Lilith had firmly chosen to
stand on Avery''s side. She no longer acknowledged him as her brother.
Ben pursed his lips. He found it hard to choose.
Sometimes, he had thought of retiring early. After all, he had worked almost all his life. The wealth
he had now could support his early retirement.
"Why don''t..." Ben was about to mention early retirement to him.
"Don''t even think about early retirement." Elliot never expected that Ben would have thoughts of
retiring early. "One week''s leave. You can''t have a day more."
Ben breathed heavily. "Why are you going back on your word?"
"Start the leave today then!"
"No! Lilith is not here yet. I''llze around the entire day and start my leave tomorrow. " Ben
deliberately infuriated him, "It’s summer break. Isn''t La going to Bridgedale again?" "Can''t you
talk properly? Do you have to smile?" Elliot asked when he saw the smile on Ben''s face.
Ben''s smile stiffened. "I...I heard a piece of gossip that has to do with Avery. Don''t interrupt me yet.
The things I want to say are not important. It''s just a little funny. Previously, I''ve been to Bridgedale
many times, right? I never saw Avery. A few times now, I had suggested meeting with her, but she
did not meet with me. The people around her never told me about her, only yesterday I realized that
she spent thest two years doing a doctoral degree."
"Hahaha! Isn''t it amazing?" Ben saw Elliot not having any expression, so heughed alone.
Elliot''s face turned even more serious. He could not understand where Ben found it funny.
"Don’t you find it funny?” Ben awkwardly rubbed his h>e''>WNY?s together. "I think her intelligence
is way beyond that of a normal person. She could just study whenever she wanted to. She could
graduate just like that. It''s as simple to her as other people find buying groceries."
"Who buys groceries for two years?" Elliot retorted, "Don''t you have a doctorate too?"

"I can''t bepared to her. It''s easy to graduate in my field. Her field is much harder. Medicine is
usually much longer than other fields, but she could finish it within two years, that''s amazing," Ben
said, "If you''re unhappy about it, you could go get a doctoral degree too."
"Boring."
"Okay, you should not be interested in her news anymore. Are you interested in
Natalie, then? From what I know, she has been constantly waiting to take over!" Ben said in a low
voice, "I think Natalie is not bad. She''s pretty all-rounded. Most importantly, she has a strong
ambition. She''s just like you when she works hard. If you two were to be together, that would be a
strong joining of forces."
Elliot said, "I''m not interested."
Ben said, "Aren''t you not nning to get married anymore? Elliot, your future is still vast. You don''t
have to refuse women and marriage just because of your past failed marriage."
Elliot said, "I don''t need it."
"Uh...don''t you have those needs? It''s easier to find a woman..."
"I can handle it on my own." Elliot did not want to continue this conversation. He said sternly, "Get
out."
Ben never thought that Elliot would still be so against talking about marriage and women even after
two years.
The office door was shut. Elliot reached out and rubbed between his brows.
After the divorce, Avery had never returned to Aryadelle. He did not expect that she went to do a
doctoral degree.
She has finally graduated. Will she return to see the children?
