It was shocking. Hair-raising, even!
That was the first time in all his years as an adult that he found out about such a secret.
He wondered if his mother knew about it, assuming that she did because it was hard to imagine that a
woman would be unaware of whether her son was hers.
Henry did not remember his childhood too clearly
All he remembered from back then was Elliot being brought out to receive treatment from a prodigious
doctor.
He was cured sometime later and brought back.
Could the real Elliot have been replaced during the treatment period?
How else could anyone explain why Elliot was Nathan’s son?
Judging from Nathan’s remark, Elliot probably knew about it already
However, Elliot did not plan on doing anything about it, which showed that he was planning to continue
his life as ‘Elliot Foster’.
After all, it would be such a privilege to be known as the Fosters’ young master!
One could imagine how the public would gossip behind Elliot’s back if they knew that he was Nathan’s
son. Such rumors would be intolerable for Elliot, considering how much he cared about his reputation.
Henry, however, was equally as intolerant of the revelation because he was the rightful eldest son of the
Fosters!
He might still be able to let Elliot continue living as ‘Elliot’ on the condition that something else was given
in return.
Henry decided to head back and start planning his heart-to-heart with Elliot. He could ideally achieve
what he wanted without angering him.
At Elliot’s home, Avery explained her decision to Elliot, who merely looked at her coldly without saying a
word.
There was nothing he could do after she brought Adrian to the house. After all, it was not like he could
just chase the unwelcome guest out!
That was exactly what he wanted to do, but it was simply too risky!
The consequences would be even more troublesome if Nathan managed to get his hands on Adrian
It was better to let Adrian stay within his sight, because that way, he did not have to worry about anyone
using Adrian to threaten him in the near future.
“You just recovered from your fever, so you need to rest.” Avery saw his emaciated appearance
GYJUME-8 led him to the side of the bed so he could sit. “Have you eaten breakfast? You need to eat
something.”
“I did.” He looked up at her. “Are you sure you don’t hate me?”
That question stunned Avery for a moment.
“Nobody put a gun to my head when I agreed to marry you.” She sat down beside him and reached out
to hold his big palm. “You told me everything about you, and I gave it a lot of thought too. I don’t think
you’re guilty, and I wouldn’t’ve been half as brave if I were you.”
After she finished speaking, she wrapped her hands around his neck and planted a light kiss on his
cheek.
She had previously been ashamed to express her feelings and was always the passive one in the
relationship
The previous night’s events gave her a realization.
The things he did for her were a lot more than just secretly preparing a marriage proposal to surprise her.
In the same vein, she ought to also let him be aware of her true feelings and not alienate him.
Downstairs in the living room, Mrs. Scarlet looked at Adrian from head to toe. Adrian was feeling a little
awkward when he sat on the sofa, but he still obediently accepted Mrs. Scarlet’s gaze.
After observing him thoroughly, Mrs. Scarlet concluded that Adrian and Shea were very similar, not only
in their looks but in their mannerisms and temperament too.
Mrs. Scarlet saw Shea in Adrian and finally understood why Avery protected Adrian so much-the feelings
they had for Shea could easily be projected onto Adrian.
