“Shall we take the children?”
Elyette asked. Averie looked at Elyette and asked,
“Do you want to take the children?”
She could not understand him.
“I do.”
Although carrying them was not easy, it was joyous to spend time with them. No wonder people said that children were a sweet burden.
“But I don’t want to take the children along today. I want to take you to a place.”
Averie said.
“Where are we going?”
He put his hands in his pocket.
“We have to tell the children, right! If they don’t want to come with us, we don‘t have to bring them, but what if they do?”
“Let’s go to my college. Wait for me here. I‘ll go tell the children,”
Averie said and headed to their room. A moment later, she walked quickly back to him and held his arm.
“Layla wants us to bring good food back for her. Let‘s go!”
Averie drove and brought Elyette to her college. Her college was a world-famous medical school.
“When you came here to study, you were quite late in your pregnancy, right?”
Elyette walked next to her on the wide path on campus. College students on their bicycles passed them by. School started earlier in Bridgedale.
“More accurately, I only started studying after I gave birth.”
Averie held his hands tightly.
“We have too many regrets. Elyette. I don’t want us to be like the past. Every time I fight with you, whether it was your problem or mine, I feel like I was skinned alive.”
Words were stuck in his throat. He replied hoarsely,
“Me too.”
“I was young. I used to be swayed easily by my emotions. I judged everything subjectively,”
Averie said remorsefully,
“When I was here studying. Every time I thought about you, I hated you. I brought you here today to put down my previous resentment. I hope that we can start over again.”
Elyette’s eyes were sore. Tears seemed like they were on the verge of falling. He held her hand tight and forced his tears back
“Elyette. It’s Valentine’s Day today.”
She pointed at the girl with a bouquet in her arms. Her tone was rather envious.
“Because today is Valentine‘s Day, which is why I wanted to spend time with you alone.”
Elyette swallowed his saliva and replied,
“I’ll go buy someed flowers.”
“Buy it later! I want to see Professor Hough.”
Averie led Elyette forward.
“After Professor Hough passed away, he donated some of his estate and books to the school. The school built a statue to honor him.”
“Actually, Professor Hough’s passing was not unexpected.”
Averie has never said this to anyone before.
“A few months before he passed away, he had an accident in his lab. He was resuscitated.”
“What a pity. He was still so94 young.”
“He overworked.”
Averie said,
“Everyone’s energy is limited, so sometimes letting people go is letting oneself go too.”
They walked around the campus and exited from the18 gates.
Elyette’s eyes soon locked onto a florist nearby. He quickly ran over and bought a bouquet of red roses. He passed her the bouquet of red roses. Averie’s heart was beating wildly like a little girl in love!
He took her right hand and silently placed a ring on her ringd3 finger.
Averie’s smiles were replaced by surprise.
“Other men might not dare to give you rings, but I dare to do so.”
It was like he was swearing in. He enunciated,
“Averie, no matter what happens in the future, my heart belongs tocb you.”
Averie looked at the shimmery diamond ring on her hand. Her eyes turned wet. She could not control her emotions. She ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.
“Since when did you buy the ring? We have been together every day. I didn’t realize that you prepared a gift beforehand.”
Averie thought that he did not know that it was Valentine’s Day that day. From morning until the moment that she reminded him that it was Valentine’s Day, he did not look strange or behave out of the ordinary.
“When I bought the necklace for you, I had a look at the rings too,”
Elyette explained,
“It’s hard to not know what today is.”
A few days ago, Valentine‘s Day promotions started taking place. This morning, all news regarding Valentine’s Day was pushed to his phone.
“If I didn‘t mention Valentine’s Day just now, when were you planning to give me the ring?”
Averie let go of him. She looked at his handsome face with reddened eyes. Elyette looked at her affectionately. He said in a hoarse voice,
“I know that you will remind me. I have been waiting for it since the afternoon when you saw your calendar.”
Averie laughed, but she was a little angry too.
“Can‘t you be more proactive! Must you wait until I mention it!”
“I took the initiative to put the ring on your finger. Doesn‘t that count?”
He held her hand in his palms.
“Averie, what’s next?”
Averie looked at the people on the streets with happiness on their faces. She smiled and said, ”
Just like that. We‘ll take a walk.”
She wanted everyone on the streets to see her wearing a ring with a rose bouquet in her arms, also holding onto the man she loved the most.
She wanted to tell the world that she was the world’s happiest woman.
In Aryadelle, Chad transferred his mother to the best hospital for treatment. After Ben received the news, he immediately came to the hospital to visit Tanya.
Tanya has already come around, but she was not in a good mental state.
“Ben. Why did my son turn out this way?”
Tanya said with tears in her eyes.
“Does his boss know about this? I want to look for Elyette to demand an explanation!”
Chad stood next to her. He wanted to explain it to her, but Tanya refused to listen to him. He was afraid that he would be too agitated and spoke out of line, only deteriorating Tanya’sed condition.
Ben gave him a look, asking him to not speak Chad turned around and took a deeple breath. Ben held Tanya’s hands and comforted her,
“Aunt Tanya, this is Chad’s private matter.
Although Elyette is his boss, he could only deal with matters of work.”
