Chapter 2103


    "I have a high threshold for pain. There might be some difort, but I haven''t sensed anything."


    "Haha! Maybe. You aren''t really afraid of pain." It''s been a while since Avery had heard him joking


    and felt relieved that he did.


    "I''m not afraid of dying, either,” he said, taking advantage of the rxing atmosphere. "Avery, you


    might be a genius, but you won''t be able to recreate a device exactly like the one inside my head in


    such a short period of time."


    The smile on Avery''s face froze as she was confused by why Elliot had brought up such a heavy


    subject.


    "Elliot, have you seen me bringing people inside the house and saw them leave?" She tried to


    comprehend what he had meant by what he said.


    "I did hear them," he admitted. However, he did not say what he had done earlier because of that,


    but because he had seen the messages Sebastian sent Avery the night before.


    He had been waiting for Avery to mention this to him sincest night, but she had remained quiet


    about it. Judging from her behavior, he realized that she had no intention of informing him about this


    development.


    He could not believe that she was not going to talk to him about something so important, despite the


    fact that she had agreed not to hide this sort of thing from him. Clearly, she did not intend on


    keeping her promise, but she would not have been able to keep it a secret for much longer.


    Soon, Ang would marry Dean and once the deed was done. Dean would use Ang to execute


    his n. Elliot would eventually find out about it no matter if Avery decided to obey Dean or not.


    Had he not seen the message the night before, he would be thest person to know and he felt


    frustrated about it.


    "Elliot, I know that you think what I''m about to do is hard, and everyone else thinks the same, which


    is why I n on hiring more people. I stand by my point: What Ang can do, I can do better," she


    said confidently.


    "And how long will it take?" he asked sharply.


    Avery''s cheeks flushed. She did not know how long it would take her, and even if she wanted to lie,


    she could not possibly make up a date.


    "I can''t wait for long," he said in response to her silence. "Soon, something will go wrong with the


    device in my head."


    "Don''t worry. If I can''t resolve it, I will take you to Ang," she consoled him.


    "I don’t like to be at someone''s mercy. I won’t go to Ang," he said. "Neither should you."


    Avery had not expected him to say such a thing and was rendered speechless.


    Noticing the expression on her face, he added, "I know you can''t do that, though. You won''t listen to


    me."

    "Elliot, it''s not that I don''t want to listen to you, but if something happens to you and I can''t solve it, I


    will definitely go to Ang for help. It took me so much effort to finally get you back. I can’t let


    anything happen to you again." She took his hand and tried to calm him down. "Ang isn''t really


    that bad of a person."


    Elliot pulled his hand away, and just then, they heard honking and turned around.


    A ck car stopped beside them and as the car window rolled down, Hayden’s face appeared


    behind it.


    Hayden had just arrived home from school.


    "You are back, Hayden!" She smiled at her son while silently grabbing Elliot''s hand once again.


    "Why don’t you head in first? We are about to go inside as well!"


    Hayden noticed that the two were in an argument because he saw Elliot pulling away from Avery’s


    touch.
