“Adrian, this is your big brother, Elyette,” Averie said to Adrian
Adrian was a little scared when he looked at Elyette’s stern and gloomy face, but he obediently said, “Hello, Big Br-”
“Don’t call me that! I’m not your big brother!” Elyette interrupted him immediately. At the same time, he looked at Averie and said, “Come up here right now, Averie!”
Averie knew that Elyette would be angry because she brought Adrian there without discussing it with him in advance.
A discussion would have been pointless since he would never agree to let her bring Adrian there.
“Don’t be afraid. He looks fierce, but he’s actually a good person,” Averie reassured him and walked upstairs.
The two of them went to the second floor and entered the master bedroom.
“Don’t be mad, Elyette. Hear me out.” Averie walked up to him and looked gently at him. “I gave it some thought and realized that the most dangerous place would be the safest place. His safety will almost certainly be guaranteed if he lived at your place. Who would dare to kidnap him from your house, am I right?”
Elyette was speechless.
“I know you don’t like him, so if he lived in your house, you could always live at mine in the future. ” Averie seemed to have arranged everything already. “We’re going to get married anyway, and we’ll have to live together.”
Elyette was speechless after listening to her arrangement.
He was thoroughly displeased because he felt that there was no good reason to let Adrian live at his place!
“If you don’t want to live with me, I can always move in and live with you,” she continued. “I’ll be with you in the future and I’ll stand by your side no matter what happens.”
Outside the villa, Nathan was red with anger and felt as if his heart had gone up in flames!
He had tailed Averie’s car earlier and was surprised that she brought Adrian back to Elyette’s villa!
Bodyguards stood quard over the villa 24 hours a day, AYI0oF?1 the villa was equipped with the most advanced security system! Breaking in was impossible, and the only way to get in was to be let in by someone!
Just as he was scolding and preparing to get into the car, a loud thump was heard and someone had punched him from behind!
The punch was so great that he immediately passed out!
Half an hour later, he was dragged to an unfamiliar room.
He was doused in a bucket of cold water and woke up with a start!
“Guess who’s going to take your life, Nathan?!” a man teased. He was holding a sharp dagger in his hand.
Nathan’s hands and feet were tied with ropes, and he struggled a few times before coming to the shocking realization that he could not break free from them!
“It has to be that goddamn Elyette! Refusing to acknowledge me was bad enough. Now he’s going to kill me?” Nathan remembered that he had been knocked unconscious outside Elyette’s villa, so it was natural for the latter to be the prime suspect.
“You guessed it right! Haha! You said he wouldn’t acknowledge you? Are you his father?” The man with the knife grinned. “Why would he kill you if you were his father?”
“He’s pissed that I cost him his dignity! He can dream on if he wants to be the Fosters’ young master for the rest of his life! If I die, my son will expose all of his scandals, so hurry up and tell him to let me go!”
Outside the room, Henry was listening to every single one of Nathan’s words.
Henry’s face was ashen and his fingers clenched tightly! It came as quite a shock.to hear that Elyette was Nathan’s son!
It was shocking. Hair-raising, even!
That was the first time in all his years as an adult that he found out about such a secret.
He wondered if his mother knew about it, assuming that she did because it was hard to imagine that a woman would be unaware of whether her son was hers.
Henry did not remember his childhood too clearly
All he remembered from back then was Elyette being brought out to receive treatment from a prodigious doctor.
He was cured sometime later and brought back.
Could the real Elyette have been replaced during the treatment period?
How else could anyone explain why Elyette was Nathan’s son?
Judging from Nathan’s remark, Elyette probably knew about it already
However, Elyette did not plan on doing anything about it, which showed that he was planning to continue his life as ‘Elyette Foster’.
After all, it would be such a privilege to be known as the Fosters’ young master!
One could imagine how the public would gossip behind Elyette’s back if they knew that he was Nathan’s son. Such rumors would be intolerable for Elyette, considering how much he cared about his reputation.
Henry, however, was equally as intolerant of the revelation because he was the rightful eldest son of the Fosters!
He might still be able to let Elyette continue living as ‘Elyette’ on the condition that something else was given in return.
Henry decided to head back and start planning his heart-to-heart with Elyette. He could ideally achieve what he wanted without angering him.
At Elyette’s home, Averie explained her decision to Elyette, who merely looked at her coldly without saying a word.
There was nothing he could do after she brought Adrian to the house. After all, it was not like he could just chase the unwelcome guest out!
That was exactly what he wanted to do, but it was simply too risky!
The consequences would be even more troublesome if Nathan managed to get his hands on Adrian
It was better to let Adrian stay within his sight, because that way, he did not have to worry about anyone using Adrian to threaten him in the near future.
“You just recovered from your fever, so you need to rest.” Averie saw his emaciated appearance GYJUME-8 led him to the side of the bed so he could sit. “Have you eaten breakfast? You need to eat something.”
“I did.” He looked up at her. “Are you sure you don’t hate me?”
That question stunned Averie for a moment.
“Nobody put a gun to my head when I agreed to marry you.” She sat down beside him and reached out to hold his big palm. “You told me everything about you, and I gave it a lot of thought too. I don’t think you’re guilty, and I wouldn’t’ve been half as brave if I were you.”
After she finished speaking, she wrapped her hands around his neck and planted a light kiss on his cheek.
She had previously been ashamed to express her feelings and was always the passive one in the relationship
The previous night’s events gave her a realization.
The things he did for her were a lot more than just secretly preparing a marriage proposal to surprise her.
In the same vein, she ought to also let him be aware of her true feelings and not alienate him.
Downstairs in the living room, Mrs. Scarlet looked at Adrian from head to toe. Adrian was feeling a little awkward when he sat on the sofa, but he still obediently accepted Mrs. Scarlet’s gaze.
After observing him thoroughly, Mrs. Scarlet concluded that Adrian and Shea were very similar, not only in their looks but in their mannerisms and temperament too.
Mrs. Scarlet saw Shea in Adrian and finally understood why Averie protected Adrian so much-the feelings they had for Shea could easily be projected onto Adrian.
nary. Adrian?” Mrs. Scarlet took a banana from the fruit bowl and handed it to him.”
Here, have a banana! You don’t have to be scared. Master Elyette won’t chase you away even though he’s angry.”
Adrian took the banana and said nervously, “He’s really fierce. Is he mean to Averie?”
Mrs. Scarlet laughed softly, “Not at all. The two of them are getting married soon. She wouldn’t’ve agreed to marry him if he was mean to her.”
Adrian lowered his eyes and peeled the banana quietly.
“Averie told you to address him as Big Brother, so you should call him that if you see him later.” Mrs. Scarlet wanted to help ease the relationship between Adrian and Elyette.
“He won’t let me.”
