"l ordered takeaway. It should arrive soon." He glanced at the screen on his phone.
Concerned that they wouldn't make it in time, she said, "Let's take it to the airport and eat it there!"
"We don't have to rush. We can always change our tickets."
"You will do no such thing unless the flight is canceled." She could not wait to go to Ylore. "Elliot, | need closure. Whether Ivy is
alive or dead, | need to know."
"| feel the same."
Shortly after, the food they ordered arrived.
The bodyguard carried their trunks into the car and the two followed closely behind. The atmosphere was awfully awkward as they
sat in the cramped space of the back seat.
"You are not taking your bodyguard?" she asked.

"My bodyguard is already at the airport."
"Oh. | thought you weren't bringing him along!"
"I can leave him behind if you don't wantto bring him along."
"Why do you always have to read too much into my words? | was just mentioning it casually and you are reading far too much out
of it," Avery said sarcastically.
Elliot immediately quieted down.
"You went to have lunch with Ben's parents?" Remembering the photo of Lilith’s ring, she asked, "How did things go?
"More precisely, | was only there for lunch. " Elliot narrowed his eyes and responded lazily, "Their affairs are entirely up to them.
Lilith isn't a child and she doesn't needlooking over her."
"You are still her brother."
"Why else would | go to a meeting if I'm not her brother?"
He had never argued when others thought of him as someone cruel and ruthless. He did not need the labels the others imposed on
him to know who he was.
"Did they mention when they are getting married?" Avery asked curiously. "What about the details of the wedding?"
"No," he simply said. "l was eating the whole tso | didn't listen to what they were saying."
"You really don't care about the fact that she’s getting married."
"How am | supposed to care about their relationship?" he said calmly. "She wouldn't leteven if | tried."
Avery remained quiet.
Worried that Avery would truly think that he did not plan on doing anything as Lilith's brother, he explained, "I plan on preparing a
dowry for her when she gets married."
"Oh..."

"lI don't want others to look down on her." Elliot blushed ever so slightly. He had not intended on talking to Lilith or talking about it
at all, but he did not want Avery to misunderst?c+=RMV= him.
"lI wouldn't say anything, whether or not you give Lilith money. You don't have to act so nervous." She began feeling uncomfortable
as well when she saw the blush on his face. "Besides, Lilith probably won't accept your money, since her incisn't bad right
now."
"Her inchas nothing to do with me. She is my sister and I'm just doing what | should. How her life turns out in the future
depends on her, and her alone."
"Yeah."
Once they arrived at the airport, the bodyguard took their luggage to get it checked in while Elliot and Avery had their dinner in the
VIP waiting lounge.
"I thought you ate a lot at noon? | would have thought that you won't be able to have dinner. Has your appetite grown that much?"
Avery teased.
"I was eating, but | couldn't even taste the food, so I've developed an appetite now," He stared into her eyes steadily. "Is it really
going to be alright when your boyfriend finds out that we are going to Ylore together?"
"Are you scared that he will cand beat you up?" she asked. "If so, you may choose to stay further away from me."
