Chapter 2241


    To make matters worse, Elliot was particr about cleanliness, so he kept grumbling, wanting to


    wash his hair.


    Avery had to find a way to wash his hair.


    Her phone rang, but she was in the bathroom, so she did not hear it. It was Robert who had brought


    her phone to her.


    If Robert had not given her, her phone, she would not have heard it ringing nor would she have


    answered the call.


    "I''m returning to Bridgedale tomorrow," Sebastian said, waiting for Avery to understand what he was


    trying to say.


    Avery ced the call on loudspeaker mode and put it to the side. She continued washing Elliot''s


    hair. "Have you found Natalie?"


    "No," Sebastian said lightheartedly. "Are you free tomorrow? Why don''t you treat me to a meal?


    Aryadelle is your territory."


    Avery noticed Elliot tensing and she rejected Sebastion without a moment''s hesitation. "I''m not free


    tomorrow. Elliot has just gotten discharged. I have to be with him. I can treat you to a meal when I''m


    in Bridgedale next time."


    A sense of disappointment rose within Sebastian''s heart.

    He only wanted to have a meal with her. Even if she had to care for Elliot, could she not spare two


    hours of her time?


    In the end, Avery had never treated him as a friend. Back then, in Bridgedale, when Avery needed


    him to gather information for her, she was not that cold and heartless.


    "Okay! I know I am no longer of use to you. I won''t disturb you again in the future," Sebastian said


    self-deprecatingly.


    "Sebastian, why do you have to say such things? If you only want me to treat you to a meal, I could


    do it next time. Right now, Elliot has just gotten discharged. I really can''t leave."


    "Will he die if he doesn''t see you for a while? Such crude lies work on children, but why do you have


    to use them on me? Forget about it. I have nothing more to say to you. Goodbye," Sebastian said


    and waited for two seconds, wanting to hear if she would offer an exnation, but she did not.


    She merely said goodbye.


    Sebastian''s world was suddenly clear. He no longer had any more worries or hesitation. He knew


    what he needed to do next.


    She hung up. She was almost done washing Elliot''s hair.


    "Sebastian asked you out for dinner, why are you not going? I''m not that petty to not let you go have


    a meal with your friends." Elliot knew that Sebastian had helped Avery, so he did not hate Sebastian


    that much.


    "I don''t know why he suddenly asked me out for a meal. Two days ago, I sent him a message telling


    him how the problem has been solved. I no longer need to keep in contact with him."


    "Avery, don''t you think saying that to him is a little too direct?"


    "It''s not that I want to be that direct. It''s just that we are at war with Dean, and he can''t possibly


    distance himself from Dean, so it''s better to draw a line," said Avery to Elliot seriously. "You have


    not recovered from your injuries. Don''t overthink this. I''ll blow dry your hair."


    "Avery, are you really nning on staying home to care for me?" Elliot felt as if it was a little unreal.


    "If not? You need rest, I need rest, too!" While caring for him, she could rx a little, too.


    Their past was dark.


    "Hmm, with you by my side, I''m very happy. I feel as if the sickness is not that tough to bear."


    "You''ve already been discharged. Your injury will get better day by day." She switched on the


    hairdryer, and they stopped talking.


    A few minutester, Elliot''s hair was dry. Avery ced the hairdryer back into the drawer.


    "Elliot, when your injuries have gotten better, let''s get remarried!" Avery helped Elliot out of the


    bathroom.
