Chapter 1023

The mother and son sat on the branch quietly and after half an hour, Hayden's muffled voice was heard
saying, "Mom, let's go home."

Avery was slightly stunned for a moment, but she immediately got up and held his hand tightly.

The conflict earlier had taken place because of Elliot, who hadn't a clue about it, and Avery had told
Mrs.Cooper to not inform him.

Elliot already had his hands full dealing with the wedding and Nathan White, Avery didn't want him to
worry over mundane details.

At around ten at night, she walked out of the shower and stared at the empty bed, only to realize that she
was not tired at all.She just missed Elliot badly.

When he was here, he would talk to her about what happened during the day and discuss matters of
education the children receive, or dream of the future with her.

Though they had been together for a long time, there were simply endless topics that they could talk
about.

She sighed quietly and wondered what he was doing.

Half an hour later, she appeared outside the door of Elliot's mansion.

When the bodyguard opened the door for her, she said, 'Don't inform Elliot."

The bodyguard instantly took the hint that Avery wanted to surprise Elliot.



Avery went into the mansion easily and when Mrs.Scarlet saw her, instead of asking why she was there,
she simply let Avery upstairs.

"Mr.Foster is still awake, probably working on details for the wedding."

"Okay, go ahead and rest! I won't be leaving tonight," Avery replied shyly.

Mrs.Scarlet flushed and immediately left.

In the study room on the second floor, Elliot scowled as he relived all the memories he shared with
Avery; his long fingers danced over the keyboard and typed.

He was writing their wedding vows.He had long finished his own vow and was stuck on Avery's vow.He
had told Avery to write her own vow and she did, but he wasn't satisfied with it.He, a past student of
science, wrote close to a thousand words for his vows, while as a past student of literature, Avery wrote
only a hundred words.

By the time they read their vows on stage, he wasn't even sure who would feel more awkward, so he
intended on her now.

After all, he only intended on getting married this once.

Someone knocked on the door and his thoughts were interrupted.

He had told Mrs.Scarlet to not bother him before he headed upstairs, could something have happened?
Just then, the door was pushed open and Avery's smiling face appeared before him.

His world instantly lit up.

His brows relaxed and his lips curled into a smile.



"Why are you here? Did you call? My phone was on silent mode so I probably didn't hear."

He strode towards her as he spoke and took her hand in his palm.

"Luckily, I didn't call you." She glanced at his desk.

"It's late now.What are you working on?"
