Avery sensed that Elliot must not have fallen asleep yet. He was so furious. How could he have fallen
asleep?
At that moment, when she entered his room, he must have heard her. She walked over to the bed She
was thinking that if he was not going to say anything, she would lie down next to him and sleep together
with him.
After running about the entire day, she was rather tired too.
Just when she sat by the bed and was about to get in bed, his angry and low voice came through.” Get
out!”
“I’m not leaving.” Avery got in bed.
Not only did she get in bed. She uncovered the covers and laid down next to him. Before he could do
anything, she hugged his body tightly.
His body tensed. His breathing got heavy as if he was about to erupt the next second.
“Elliot, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I know where I went wrong.” She buried her face in the pape of his neck
and softened her tone. “I saw the light show that you prepared for me. I also saw the ring.”
Her words seemed to have agitated him once more, after calming down with much difficulty.
He pushed her away and roared, “Don’t touch me!” “.
She was stunned for a while before hugging him tightly once again.
“Elliot, I have never doubted your feelings for me.” Avery showed him her heart. “I have never doubted
my feelings for you too. From the very beginning, you were the only person I loved If I knew that you
were going to propose to me tonight, I would surely have gone to see you first.”
Elliot’s chest was heaving rapidly. His breathing turned heavier, but he did not say a single word. His
head hurt. His body temperature did not seem normal either.
Avery was clinging onto him like a vine. He found it harder to breathe.
He did not push her away anymore, because he knew that even if he pushed her away, she would
continue clinging to him.
“Elliot, I didn’t answer your call because my phone was dead in my bag. I didn’t know it ran out of
battery,” Avery rambled on, explaining to him, “I never forgot our date. I was planning to look for you after
Adrian felt better, but he kept vomiting. I couldn’t bear to leave.”
When she mentioned Adrian, Elliot’s emotions erupted once again.
“Elliot, please don’t get angry.” She nestled herself in his arms faced him. “I only
wanted you to know that I wasn’t late on purpose. No matter what happens in the future, I will put you
first.”
His huge hands were planning on pushing her away at first, but after what she said, he caved in.
What he always wanted was simple: for her to care for him.
She buried her face in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. She felt extremely relieved. As long as
he did not push her away, she would not let him go.
She really seemed to have realized that she did wrong. She seemed to have taken his love for granted.
They had already agreed to a date that night. How could she have lied to him and arrived so late?
Even if it was a normal date, she should not have done so.
His breathing slowly became even, but she had no urge to fall asleep.
Firstly, because she just had an emotional rollercoaster ride. It was hard on her. Second, she did not
have dinner. She was famished.
The server said that Elliot did not have any food either. Was he not hungry as well?
Avery took a deep breath. She wanted to wait for him to sleep soundly before getting down from the bed
to look for things to eat.
However, a while later, she was burned by the heat coming from his body. She uncovered the covers and
touched his face.
“You’re burning!” Avery exclaimed softly.
She realized that he was having a fever. She was about to get up to go look for medicine, but Elliot
quickly held to her tightly, not letting her leave.
“Elliot, you have a fever. I’ll go get some medicine for you…” She said softly in his arms.
He grabbed her arm with huge effort. He was definitely awake! He was just not talking. Neither would he
let her go.
