She plugged the blow-dryer in and walked towards him.

He opened his arm and wrapped them around her waist. Her heart throbbed, feeling as though she was being

surrounded by a love that was both gentle and heavy. She could sense the heat on his skin through his clothes, and

soon, she started to feel his breath on her as well.

“Elliot, have you been feeling really exhausted?” She asked. “Yes, but it’s worth it,” he drawled and breathed deeply

as he entered a relaxed state. “Close your eyes, then, and don’t think about anything.”

“Okay.” She switched on the blow-dryer and ran her fingers through his hair; the warm wind was sleep -inducing

and though his hair dried thoroughly shortly after, she didn’t have the heart to turn it off because she could feel like

he had fallen asleep while leaning against her.

The weight of his body was pressed against her and she realized that she would have said yes if Nathan had asked

for 30 million a month at this very moment, she might have agreed. She wanted to help Elliot with his problems to

relieve him of the stress; but if she paid Nathan behind Elliot’s back, he would be mad, so she was stuck at a

crossroads. At night, she laid awake dazedly through the faint moonlight. Taking into consideration Elliot’s power,

Nathan had no means to force Elliot into acknowledging him as his father even if he tried, so Nathan was not the

biggest threat.

The biggest threat was Adrian.

It wasn’t that Adrian would do anything to Elliot, but once the truth of them switching identities came out, so would

the truth of the murder of Eason Foster.

Even if Elliot had the power to control Aryadelle, his reputation would still suffer over the publication of scandal

after scandal.

Tears rolled down her face silently, leaving behind a cooling sensation. She took a deep breath to relieve her heavy

heart. She had to protect Elliot from facing all these on his own; which was why she had to find Adrian and keep him

away from Nathan. Though Nathan was Elliot’s biological father, he only wanted money CRCO|rDP had no interest

in the family. If Elliot refused to fulfill his requirement, he could go on a suicide mission to destroy Elliot.

In the dark, Elliot instantly woke up to the sound of someone sobbing miserably. He immediately woke up from the

daze when he recognized that it was Avery’s voice and sat up right away. He turned on the lights and looked over to

the woman next to him, who was sobbing while covering her face. “Avery! Avery, what’s wrong?!” His heart ached

at the sight as he pulled her hands away from

her face. “Are you hurt anywhere? Don’t cry, talk to me!” “I… I’m fine… I had a nightmare…”

She had not been asleep at all. The thought of the possibility that the happiness she finally found with Elliot could be

destroyed at any moment had brought her to tears. She didn’t want to wake him, but she simply couldn’t help

herself. “What kind of nightmare? You seem so upset.” He gently wiped away her tears with his fingertip and

continued guiltily, “Have I been too busy and neglected you?”
