Chapter 845
After Avery spoke, the security personnel reminded Elliot that it was time to board the plane.
"I need to head back to Aryadelle to settle some things, Avery.Please give me some time…"
"I won’t! If I give you time, then you’ll go and marry Chelsea! I won’t accept you marrying another
woman, Elliot! It doesn’t matter if it’s with Chelsea or anybody else! As long as I’m not the bride, I won’t
allow it!"
Avery clenched her teeth, then said, "If you leave today, you can forget about ever seeing me or the
kids ever again!"
Since her begging did not work, she could only resort to threatening him.
If the Tierneys were using something to threaten or lure him, then she could threaten him, too! She
refused to believe that the Tierneys had a bigger bargaining chip than she did.
Elliot’s eyes were reddened and glistening with tears as he gazed at Avery with a pained expression on
his face.
He had gone from being forcibly calm to teary-eyed in a matter of seconds.
Avery had pushed him to tears.She did not want things to become this ugly, but she absolutely could
not accept him going off to marry Chelsea.
"If I was the one who was about to marry another man, would you also be this nonchalant about it?
Would you be able to understand my feelings?"
She lifted her chin and did not allow her tears to escape.
"I’m only giving you one chance.You can come home with me now, or we’re over!"
Elliot’s heart ached so badly that it was hard to breathe.
Avery wanted to end things with him! He understood why she was doing this, but it was hard for him to
accept it.
There was no way he could agree to end things with her, but it was also impossible for him not to marry
Chelsea.
Living was sometimes more agonizing than death.
Right now, he was better off dead than alive.
The woman that he loved the most was standing before him with tears in her eyes.He wanted to pull
her into his arms and make her smile again.
Not only could he not do that, but he was also breaking her heart!
"You b*st*rd!"
Elliot cursed himself in his head.He held Avery’s face in his hands and planted his thin lips on her
coldie ones.
There was a mountain of things that he wanted to tell her, but it was not the time yet.
After knowing each other for so many years, there was unspoken chemistry between Avery and Elliot.
She could easily pick up what his every gaze and action meant.
She shoved him away with all of her might, then turned and left without giving him another look. He had
already chosen Chelsea.
What did he think a kiss would change? She refused to completely lose her pride and reason for him.
She would not be a mistress and she absolutely refused to be his puppet.
As Elliot watched Avery leave, he felt like his heart was shattering into a million pieces.
This was broken trust and the end of ancb obsession.
"Are you still boarding the flight, Sir?" asked the airport staff.
"If you are, then you’re going to have to hurry!"
When Avery arrived at the airport’s entrance, something inside of her was calling out to her and she
froze in her tracks.She spun her head around as tears streamed down her face.
Back at the security checkpoint, there was nobody else there apart from the airport staff.
Elliot left.
He left unwaveringly and determinedly! It looked like he did not take anything with him, but he had left
with all of Avery’s love and trust.
She would never believe in his words again.She would never listen to a word he had to say again. She
would treat the sweetness of the past few days as nothing but a dream.
Now that the dream was over, it was time for her to wake up.
She was devastated, but it was better than living a joke! When Avery walked out of the airport, the
heavy snowfall practically blocked her line of vision.She reached out, and a few snowflakes fell onto
her palm.She stared as the pure white snow slowly melted in her hand, and could not help but burst
into gut-wrenching sobs.
Why?! Why was she able to melt snow, but unable to warm Elliot’s heart?!
