Chapter 844 Avery never believed in fate.
Even if life wanted to stop her, she would never give in that easily. She opened the car door then stepped into the cold winter snow without hesitation, She ran frantically toward the airport. There was only one ending she wanted. She was not going to let Elliot go just like that! At the VIP waiting lounge at the airport, Elliot lifted his wrist and checked the time on his watch.
His flight was one in the afternoon. There was another hour until the plane would take off. He stood by the giant windows and his heart felt as cold as the fluttering snowfall outside. If there was any other way, he would never do anything to hurt Avery and the children. Being cruel to her and the children was the same as being cruel to himself. He would be in more agony than them.
Charlie had something on Elliot and was now forcing him to marry Chelsea. He had no other choice.
If he did not act out this play, there would be no end to the torment he would have to endure in the future.
He did not want the children to be ridiculed because of his scandal. He also did not want Avery to find out about this.
He could allow his reputation to be ruined and not care about how others viewed him, but he cared about what Avery thought of him.
If it were not for Avery and the children, he would not be pinned down even if Charlie found evidence of his murder case!
Elliot was never a good man. It was Avery and the children who made him want to become a bettered person.
He was never a coward, but he was terrified of Avery and the children distancing themselves from him out of fear after finding out about this. He needed to take a gamble. If he won, he would never have to worry about being threatened again. Avery ran all the way into the airport departure hall. She did not have time to brush the snow off of her body or catch her breath. She found the flight to Aryadelle on the flight information display system, then immediately rushed toward the designated securityie checkpoint. She squeezed through the crowds and finally made it to the security checkpoint. “Elliot94 Foster!” Avery immediately recognized Elliot’s silhouette in the crowded airport.
He had already gone through security. If she was even a minute late, she would not be able to see18 him! “Elliot! You can’t leave!” She stood on the other side of the security barrier and begged miserably, “I still need to talk to you! You can’t leave!” When Elliot saw how Avery had abandoned her pride and dignity to come to him, he felt like he had a bitter taste in hisdz mouth.
He clenched his fists, then strode toward her. When Avery saw him heading in her direction, tears finally escaped her eyescb uncontrollably. She knew he was not that heartless. As long as she pleaded with him, he definitely would not leave.
Elliot hurried over to Avery. Before he could stand still, she reached out and held his hand.” Listen, Elliot. I know I have a bad temper and that I’m always picking a fight with you. I’m always making things hard on you, but I can change… As long as you don’t marry Chelsea, I’ll change! You know Chelsea and I don’t get along at all. If you marry her, I’ll never forgive you! Don’t push me and the children to stand against you…” Avery’s emotions were in chaos.
She sobbed as she poured her heart and soul out to Elliot. What if he left if she did not say everything? She believed that he would change his mind once she made the stakes clear. He loved her and he loved the children. There was no way that he would abandon them for Chelsea unless the past few days were nothing but an act! However, Avery could not figure out why the man standing before her would pretend to be a good man and father. “Give me some time, Avery.” Elliot’s voice was hoarse. He withdrew his hand from her cold grip, then brushed off the snow from her hair. “Go home.”
As Avery watched his cold demeanor and heard his familiar voice, she thought she was imagining things. He told her to go home… He told her to go home without a moment’s hesitation! If he did not go home with her right now, then he was choosing to abandon her and the children!
“Are you absolutely sure, Elliot?” Avery asked as she gazed into Elliot’s eyes in disbelief. “You want me to go home, then you’ll go back to Aryadelle and marry Chelsea… Is that it?”
