Chapter 1074
Elliot picked Layla up with one hand and held Avery’s hand tightly with his other hand.
She followed him and left the airport lobby.
At the airport command and control center, Elliot brought Avery and Layla in and led them to the massive
floor-to-ceiling windows. The runway could be seen very clearly.
“We’ll be able to see Hayden’s flight taking off in about half an hour.” He took Avery and came to the
window. “I chatted with Mike last night and I share the same view as him. It is the better choice for
Hayden to be studying abroad.”
Avery stared at him blankly and waited for him to explain further.
“He managed to get only three points higher than Daniel in the qualifying round, which is why Daniel
questioned whether the teacher’s grade was fair. If he scored thirty points more than Daniel, do you think
Daniel will still question it? He still lacks in ability….”
Avery frowned when she heard him say that. “Don’t you think you’re asking too much of your son? He’s
three years younger than Daniel, which means he’s already better than Daniel even though Daniel has
been in school for three more years. He’s already good enough.”
“But he collapsed as soon as Daniel questioned him.” Elliot looked at her calmly, “Faced with such a
situation, he could either strengthen his abilities or adjust his mentality. He has chosen the former, so we
will support him.”
Avery took a deep breath and looked out the window
“It is only when he’s strong enough that he won’t be so easily provoked by others,” Elliot continued, “I
hope my son can surpass me in the future, because that way, he can better protect himself and his
family. This brief separation will be bearable.”
Avery looked back at him. “You may be right, but emotionally speaking, it’s an uphill task for me to accept
that he’s leaving me. I wouldn’t be so uneasy if he was seventeen rather than seven. You weren’t that
young during your first time abroad, right?”
“It was his own choice. We didn’t force him to leave.”
“I knew you were going to say that.” She took a deep breath looked at him a little resentfully. “You said
before that you have a resentful personality, and you’re right. It is a little resentful sometimes. If your son
didn’t take after you that much, he wouldn’t have been so against
you.”
Elliot did not retort.
Half an hour later, Hayden’s flight slowly took off from the runway and into the skies.
Elliot brought Avery and Layla home.
“Avery, your wedding dress has arrived.” Mrs. Cooper smiled. “Would you like to try it?”
Avery looked at the beautifully packaged oversized box in the living room and tried to force
herself not to think about Hayden’s departure.
She opened the box and saw the white wedding dress.
“Let me help you put it on!” Elliot lifted the wedding dress from the box and offered.
She accepted and went back to the room with him.
After a while, she put on her wedding dress and looked blankly at herself in the mirror.
It was as if she was already about to attend the wedding.
“How does it feel?” Elliot asked in a hoarse voice when he saw how beautiful she was.
“It’s…perfect.” She looked at his emotion-filled eyes in the mirror and felt her cheeks become slightly hot.
“When the wedding is over, the first thing you should do is bring me to see Hayden.”
“Consider it done.”
“I don’t blame you.” She turned around and put her arms around his waist. “My words might seem like it,
but I’m not thinking that way.”
“I know.” He picked her up and walked to the bed, “I’m not angry even if you did blame me.”
“Let’s not quarrel in the future, okay? It breaks my heart whenever I quartel with you.” She sat by the
bed, holding his big palm in her small hand.
“Of course.”
Elliot held Avery’s hand in one hand and her nape in the other. He was just about to deliver a kiss on her
cheek when an ill-timed phone call came.
