Mike stared at Chad and could not help but feel suspicious.
“Are you sure you’re not just spewing nonsense?! If I knew about it, would I be able to keep it quiet?”
Chad was furious.
“How could Mr. Foster marry Chelsea? He didn’t even want her before she was disfigured. Now that she’s disfigured, why would he suddenly want to marry94 her?!”
“I don’t f*cking know! Mrs. Cooper was the one who told me! Would she lie to me?”
Mike shoved Chad aside and said,
“That sc*mbag! I’m going to find him and ask him myself!”
Chad grabbed his arm and said,
“Can you not be so impulsive? I’ll go and ask You stay18 home!
Elyette did not tell anyone that he was returning to Aryadelle, but Ben showed up at the Foster mansion not long after he arrived himself.
Ben had spent the past few days holding himselfd3 back After he met with Chelsea the other day, he asked around and found out that the Tierneys truly were preparing for a wedding.
“You should know what I’m here to say, Elyette.”
Ben stood in front of Elyette with an expression of worry.
“Why? Tell me why you’re doingcb this!”
Elyette was sitting on the couch and leisurely opening a pack of cigarettes.
“I don’t need to explain my actions to anybody.”
“Oh, so you don’t need to explain yourself to Averie either?”
Ben mocked.
“Or did you two break up again?!”
Elyette threw the pack of cigarettes on the table and the cigarettes fell out all over the floor.
“This is my business. It’s got nothing to do with you!”
His frosty eyes were filled with an eerie chill.
Ben kicked the coffee table in front of him and roared,
“Do you know what Chelsea looks like right now?! Ha! Go ahead and marry her if you’re not afraid of having nightmares with her in your arms!”
“Did you meet her?”
Elyette picked up a cigarette and held it between his fingers.”
“I did.”
Ben saw that Elyette did not lose his temper, so the rage inside of him calmed down quite a bit.
He even lit his cigarette for him when he saw that he didn’t have a lighter.
“She was the one who called me.”
Ben took a seat next to Elyette, picked up a cigarette from the coffee table, and lit it.
“Does she have something on you?”
Elyette lowered his gaze slightly and then said bitterly,
“Not her.”
“Oh. The Tierneys have something on you?
I was thinking, the Chelsea I know wouldn’t have the guts to show up in public with the way she looks right now. Even if she really wanted to marry you, she wouldn’t want a big wedding.”
Elyette turned to Ben and asked,
“What does she look like now?”
“It’s hard to describe. I panic every time I think about her face,”
Ben said through gritted teeth as he snapped his cigarette in half.
“All of the love and hate in the past have paled. I can’t tell what she’s feeling right now. It’s scary, but I also sympathize with her.”
Elyette ashed his cigarette in the ashtray and then said hoarsely,
“I’ll go see her tomorrow.”
“She might reconsider once you see her tomorrow.”
Ben leaned back on the sofa and let out a heavy sigh.
“I can marry her no matter what she looks like.”
Elyette took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a ring of smoke.
“I’ve already hurt Averie and the kids. I don’t have another choice.”
“Did you already decide before the new year?”
Ben interrogated as he gazed at Elyette’s profile.
“Why did you go to Bridgedale, then? You spent Valentine’s Day with her and even took family portraits.
Were you out of your mind?!”
“That’s right. I was out of my mind,”
Elyette answered honestly.
“Even in my dreams, I want to be with her. When she called me over there, all of my reason went out the window.”
“You knew that would hurt her even more. Why couldn’t you have some self-control? How did you expect her and the kids to feel? You didn’t tell her you were being threatened, did you? I bet you didn’t!”
Ben knew him far too well. Elyette never revealed his pain to anybody. The closer he was to someone, the more he would hideed it.
“Tell her and let her worry?”
Elyette said word after word,
“It’s my own problem. I’ll deal with it myself.”
“I know you can handle it, but once you’ve solved your problems, Averie might not forgive you. ”
Ben shoved the reality at him and said,
“If Shea hadn’t sacrificed herself to save Robert, do you really think Averie would have gotten back with you soie quickly?”
His words instantly caused Elyette’s brows to furrow tightly.
A beam of light shone in through the windows from outside the door. The light stung Ben’s eyes. He immediately stood up to see who had the gall to act so arrogantly in front of Elyette Foster’s house! Were they not afraid of being beaten to a pulp by the18 bodyguards? Ben walked over to the window and saw Chad and Mike walking into the front yard one after the other.
He let out a cold chuckle and said,
“Mike’s here for you,d3 Elyette.”
Elyette killed his cigarette in the ashtray. When the mansion’s front door burst open, Chad quickly shouted,
“I couldn’t stop him, Sir! Don’t take anything he says tocb heart!”
“Chad Rayner! Even if your boss kills someone, you’ll still say he was right! You must be f* cking blind to follow such a piece of sh*t who can’t tell right from wrong!”
Mike snapped rudely. Ben was afraid they would fight, so he pulled Chad aside.
Mike stormed over to Elyette and the bodyguard immediately stood in his way. Mike was afraid to make a move, but he was not afraid to chastise him.
“Elyette Foster! You hurt Averie and the kids because of that nasty business of yours. Are you even human? You’re not! You’re trash!”
The bodyguard immediately dragged Mike out of the house, and Chad quickly followed them.
“I’ll take you to the airport!”
Chad was upset about getting insulted, but he did not take it to heart after thinking of how much Averie must be suffering right now.
