Chapter 2099


    "Avery has be so gentletely. It''s a bit hard for me to adjust to it," Ben said. "If only she was


    like this back then, you two wouldn''t be fighting so much."


    "I''d rather she act as she did before. At least that would mean that I''m still the same man I was."


    Elliot set the phone down.


    "Elliot, what''s happening to you now is just temporary. Just think of this as taking a break." Ben


    could understand why Elliot was having a hard time adjusting. "It''s always darkest before dawn."


    "Ben, are you really that optimistic?" Elliot looked at him and drawled, "Both you and Avery are just


    lying."


    Ben felt ufortable under Elliot''s stare. "Would you rather I sit here and discuss your funeral


    with you instead? Elliot, I wasn''t lying when I said I believe in Avery. It''s not to calm you down or


    because I''m in denial. If Avery fails, no one else will be capable of saving you."


    "If she has to pay a high price to do so, I''d rather she doesn''t try."


    "Don''t overthink this and just let her try," Ben pleaded. "Are you bored staying home all day? Do you


    want to go somewhere else? I can take you to wherever you want to go. Avery is going to be busy


    but I have time to keep youpany."


    Elliot shook his head. "I don''t want to go anywhere."


    "You still want to stay with Avery, huh?" Ben grinned. "Even if I want to take you out, Avery probably


    wouldn''t let me. I dare say that she hasn''t been this careful even with her kids."


    Elliot remained quiet.


    Meanwhile, in the Jennings'' mansion, Ang had stayed home because of the weather.


    Dean ordered his bodyguards to send her to his mansion early in the morning because the designer


    hadpleted their wedding attire and had sent them over for a fitting.

    Ang and Dean had chosen the style they wanted together, so it was a surprise to the designer


    when Ang was unsatisfied with her wedding dress when she saw it.


    "Red is just too old-fashioned." Ang lifted an eyebrow at her dress. "Everyone either goes for red


    or white during their weddings. I don''t want to be like everyone else."


    "What color do you want then?" Dean smiled. "Pink? Purple? Or..."


    "I like the color ck," she said confidently. "I looked it up and ck signifies mystery and elegance,


    which is just exactly like me, so I want a ck dress. Dean, what do you think?"


    Dean did not like the color ck because he thought that it was an ominous color. He felt that if he


    was dressed in ck on his wedding day, it would take away the joy of the wedding itself.


    "Ang, are you sure you want a ck dress? Why didn''t you say so before? The dress is already


    made now and we might not have enough time to change the color now." Dean was not willing to


    compromise. "How about this, let''s just get married in this dress. If you like ck clothing, I will have


    the designer design ck clothes for you. As many as you want." "I am only getting married once in


    my life. If I can''t even decide the color of my dress, I will feel as if I''m not treasured." She lowered


    her gaze sadly. "I''ve always liked ck. You never asked me what color I like so I didn''t bother


    mentioning it. Now that we are about to be married, I don''t think I''m reaching for the stars here,


    right?"


    Dean was slightly irritated that she was talking down to him from a moral high ground, but he


    decided to tolerate her since he still had something important that he needed Ang to do for him.


    "If you want ck, then you will get a ck dress!" he promised, before turning to the designer.


    "Make sure that the dress is ready before the wedding!"
