"Shall we take the children?" Elliot asked.
Avery looked at Elliot and asked, "Do you want to take the children?"
She could not understand him.
"I do."
Although carrying them was not easy, it was joyous to spend time with them.No wonder people said
that children were a sweet burden.
"But I don’t want to take the children along today.I want to take you to a place." Avery said.
"Where are we going?"
He put his hands in his pocket.
"We have to tell the children, right! If they don’t want to come with us, we don‘t have to bring them, but
what if they do?"
"Let’s go to my college.Wait for me here.I‘ll go tell the children,"
Avery said and headed to their room.
A moment later, she walked quickly back to him and held his arm.
"Layla wants us to bring good food back for her.Let‘s go!"
Avery drove and brought Elliot to her college.
Her college was a world-famous medical school.
"When you came here to study, you were quite late in your pregnancy, right?"
Elliot walked next to her on the wide path on campus.
College students on their bicycles passed them by.
School started earlier in Bridgedale.
"More accurately, I only started studying after I gave birth."
Avery held his hands tightly.
"We have too many regrets.Elliot.I don’t want us to be like the past.Every time I fight with you, whether
it was your problem or mine, I feel like I was skinned alive."
Words were stuck in his throat.
He replied hoarsely, "Me too."
"I was young.I used to be swayed easily by my emotions.I judged everything subjectively,"
Avery said remorsefully, "When I was here studying.Every time I thought about you, I hated you.I
brought you here today to put down my previous resentment.I hope that we can start over again."
Elliot’s eyes were sore.
Tears seemed like they were on the verge of falling.
He held her hand tight and forced his tears back "Elliot.It’s Valentine’s Day today."
She pointed at the girl with a bouquet in her arms.
Her tone was rather envious.
"Because today is Valentine‘s Day, which is why I wanted to spend time with you alone."
Elliot swallowed his saliva and replied, "I’ll go buy some flowers."
"Buy it later! I want to see Professor Hough."
Avery led Elliot forward.
"After Professor Hough passed away, he donated some of his estate and books to the school.The
school built a statue to honor him."
"Hmm."
"Actually, Professor Hough’s passing was not unexpected."
Avery has never said this to anyone before.
"A few months before he passed away, he had an accident in his lab.He was resuscitated."
"What a pity.He was still so young."
"He overworked."
Avery said, "Everyone’s energy is limited, so sometimes letting people go is letting oneself go too."
They walked around the campus and exited from the gates.
Elliot’s eyes soon locked onto a florist nearby.He quickly ran over and bought a bouquet of red
roses.He passed her the bouquet of red roses.
Avery’s heart was beating wildly like a little girl in love! He took her right hand and silently placed a ring
on her ring finger.
Avery’s smiles were replaced by surprise.
"Other men might not dare to give you rings, but I dare to do so."
It was like he was swearing in.
He enunciated, "Avery, no matter what happens in the future, my heart belongs to you."
