Chapter 2053


    "Avery, how are you?"


    "Good. Why are you here all of a sudden?" Avery asked. "We are close, and soon, we will find


    Elliot."


    "You''ve done well. I came because you are certain that Elliot is here. Besides, Natalie could be


    hiding here as well. I feel disgusted whenever I think of what she''s done." Ben scowled. "She signed


    a contract with Elliot, so I can wait. Once Elliot walks free, he will deal with her!"


    Avery nodded. "When did you arrive?"


    "I arrived at two in the morning and went to the hotel to rest for a bit. I figured you would be awake


    around this time and came over." Ben looked her up and down. "I heard that you were injured. Are


    you okay?"


    "Much better now. I''m fine." Avery nced at the kitchen.


    The nanny was waiting inside and noticed Avery''s gaze. "Breakfast is ready."


    Avery turned to look at Ben. "Have you eaten?"


    "I did at the hotel, but I can eat more." Ben walked with her to the dining room. "Is Hayden at


    school? Mike''s still sleeping, huh?"


    "Probably. Mike hasn''t been able to get much sleep because I''ve been dragging him everywhere


    with me," Avery muttered guiltily. "Hayden, too. He''s been working really hard to dig into the


    Jennings family''s background."


    "Don''t me yourself, Avery. If something happens to you and Elliot is in your position, he would do


    everything he can to save you as well."


    "I know. I''ve misunderstood him. I kept forcing what I think love should be onto him and used


    him when his way of showing affection differed from mine..."


    "It''s fine now that you two have put all misunderstanding aside. Please just don''t break up again.


    You might not be lucky enough to get back together again the next time you split up." Ben sighed.


    "Love isn''t permanent. If one gets hurt too many times, there''s no going back to how it was in the


    past. Besides, who knows what tomorrow will bring?"

    "How are things between you and Lilith?"


    Avery took Ben''s advice to heart. She had already made up her mind that she would give everything


    up to be with Elliot.


    "If only things with you =e,


    Avery bowed her head.


    "Forget about us. Right now, Elliot is our top priority." Ben nced at her. "Is there anything I can do


    to help? Should I look for Ang, or should I search Bridgedale for Elliot?" "Finding Ang will do.


    She has Elliot. Get your men to go undercover and start searching. Ang shouldn''t be far." Avery


    picked up the ss to sip on her milk and drawled, "I am going to meet with a certain professor


    today to see if I can find out what Ang wants from Elliot."


    Interested, Ben said, "I want to go with you."
