Avery’s room was filled with children’s daily amenities. It was obvious that she cared for her children. If
she had planned to let him stay in her room, she would have cleared it up.
Avery hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to be honest with him.
“This house isn’t that big. Now that there is another baby around, so I hired a nanny. Although the
security here is not bad, for the sake of safety, I hired a bodyguard. They take turns staying over
daily…”
Avery explained so much when she was only trying to say one thing.
“If there isn’t any extra room, I can go to a hotel.” Elliot did not want to trouble Avery.
“It’s not that there isn’t any extra room…” Avery lowered her gaze and said softly.
If it was not that late at night, she would most likely get him to stay at the hotel already. He came over
this time without a bodyguard. It was already so late at night. What would happen if something were to
happen to him if he went out alone?
Elliot was confused at Avery’s answer. If there was an extra room, why did she let him have the master
bedroom?
“You take my room, I’ll sleep in the other room.” Avery was afraid that there would be a
misunderstanding, she immediately added, “The other room is a little small, I’m afraid you won’t get
used to it.”
“As long as they’re a place to stay, I’m fine. It’s okay if it’s small.” A hint of disappointment flashed
across his eyes, but he quickly collected his emotions.
“I’ll bring you to go have a look.” Avery headed for the door.
Elliot carried his suitcase and followed Avery to the small room. This room was indeed a little small.
Other than the bed and a nightstand, there was no space for other furniture. Even the bathroom was
small enough only for one person.
This was the mansion’s default design for the nanny’s room. However, Avery did not want to feel like
she was mistreating the nanny, so she got the nanny to stay in the guest room.
At that moment, she could not just get the nanny to move to the nanny’s room just because she had a
guest.
If it was only meant for staying one night, like Tammy being drunk for one night leaving the next day, it
would be fine.
However, Elliot was not only staying for one night. He was there for a few days, so Avery was a little
embarrassed to bring him to the small room right from the beginning.
“I’ll stay here.” He placed his suitcase in the room.
“As long as there’s a place to rest.” Avery nodded.
“Then, I’ll go get you some toiletries.”
“Okay.”
Although he brought a suitcase, it could only fit a few sets of clothes. One was because he left in a
rush, he did not have the time to pack more thoroughly. The other reason was that he rarely did such
tedious matters.
A moment later, Avery arrived with a full set of toiletries.
Elliot’s suitcase was already open. Avery could not help but sneak a peek at it.
“Did you not bring pajamas?” She noticed that his suitcase was filled with formal wear.
“I forgot to bring them.” Elliot took his clothes out from his suitcase, planning to hang them on the rack
“Oh. Mike should have an extra one. I’ll go get it.” Avery said and left.
A moment later, she returned with a clean set of pajamas.
“Go rest after your shower. The children get up early. It would be noisier at home during the day,” Avery
reminded him.
Elliot nodded. “You go to bed too!”
Before she left, she glanced at the room once more. She finally understood Mike’s worries during the
day.
Elliot was such a towering figure. He looked out of place standing in such a small room. It felt as if he
would knock into the wall if he was not careful.
“Thinking back about his mansion back in Aryadelle, his living area alone was larger than an entire
commercial flat. Since when has he stooped to such a low level?
However, he would not stay in her bedroom. He insisted on staying in the nanny’s room! She could not
possibly have forced him to stay in her room, right!
Returning back to her room, Avery lay in bed but could not sleep.
She found it unreal. Elliot came just when he said he would. Before seeing him, she always felt that
they would surely get into a huge fight every time they met.
