Chapter 982

That evening, Avery saw Elliot and the designer in the living room when she arrived home.

The designer was here to take Avery‘s measurements.

“I want a pretty dress, too, Mommy.” Layla gazed enviously at Avery.

“I‘ve bought so many pretty dresses for you before, sweetie. There are still plenty of them that you haven‘t worn

yet!” Avery said.

“That‘s different.” Layla frowned.

“How so?”

“Daddy showed me the wedding gown you‘ll be wearing. It‘s a lot prettier than any of my dresses,” Layla said, then

suddenly smiled and said, “Daddy said he‘ll get me the same dress as yours.”

Avery turned to Elliot. :Are you sure you want to get your daughter a wedding gown?”

Elliot was embarrassed. “As long as she‘s happy.” Avery felt that there was something very wrong about his

behavior. First of all, the wedding gown was long. It would be difficult for Layla to move around in such a bulky

dress. Second of all, how could he keep giving in to the children? “How could you keep going with whatever she

wants? Would you act the same way if she simply picked someone to marry in the future?” Avery had to correct

Elliot‘s mistaken idea of a child‘s upbringing. He had not even moved in yet, but he was already giving in to Layla‘s

every will. Would he not end up spoiling her rotten after he moved in? Avery‘s question made Elliot frown.

Layla was still a little girl in his eyes. He never thought about her future marriage.

For now, he could not accept his daughter getting married to anybody at all. Just the thought of Layla living with

another man in the future made him feel awful.

“Layla can‘t fate before she turns eighteen, and she‘s not marrying anyone before she turns twenty five.” Elliot

decided on these rules after a moment’s consideration. “She wouldn‘t be mature enough before she turns eighteen

and would be easily cheated. She wouldn‘t be

completely mature before she turns twenty five either. I would be too worried no matter who she decides to

marry.” Avery found his rules to be absolutely absurd. “I would completely agree if you had said that she can’t get

married before she turns eighteen. How could you stop her from getting married before she turns twenty five?”

She disagreed with him FQK#R\ry stated the facts. “I definitely wasn’t twenty five when I first married you!”

Elliot recalled the past for a moment, then said, “Our situation was different. I was bedridden and there was no

telling if I was going to live or die. I wouldn‘t have married you if I wasn‘t in that state.”

He had said those words in respect to the facts and held no emotion in his voice. However, his words sparked a

rage in Avery. “Are you saying that you regret meeting me?” Elliot shot to his feet and immediately explained,

“That‘s not what I meant. I was just speaking hypothetically...” “Aren‘t you saying that you definitely wouldn‘t have

taken an interest in me back then if you weren‘t in a vegetative state?” Avery slapped away the hand that Elliot was

reaching out. “I‘m the one who wasn‘t interested in you! If my family wasn‘t in a rut, and if your family didn‘t offer

us all of that money, then I definitely wouldn‘t have married you!” Elliot‘s temples began to throb in pain. “Maybe

you‘re not aware of the situation back then. After all, you were bedridden for so long that you probably had no idea

what was going on. Let me enlighten you, then.” Now that Avery was in a rage, she was not about to let him go that

easily. “Your family doctor said that you were about to die back then. Your mother was searching everywhere in a

panic for a woman to have your child, but nobody was willing to marry you!”

Elliot was speechless. “Even Chelsea, who was so blindly loyal to you, was nowhere to be found at the time,” Avery

continued to mock him. You should be thanking me for not abandoning you back then!” Elliot repented and said,

“Thank you for not abandoning me back then, Avery.” His acknowledgement of his mistake made the fury in Avery

die down by half. “It‘s not that I didn‘t abandon you. Your bodyguards were the ones who were watching me like I

was some kind of criminal. I didn‘t have a chance to escape at all.” Elliot was at a loss for words.
