"Do you remember what happened after you got drunk last night, Avery?" Elliot casually switched the subject.
Avery’s face instantly flushed a crimson red.
"Mrs. Cooper already told me about it. You don't have to bring it up again."
"You told me that three kids weren't enough for you, and that you wanted to have three more." Elliot chuckled lightly as he gazed at her reddened cheeks. "You said you wanted to have more kids for as long as you can. I said that would make you a sow, then..."
Avery was shocked to the core by his absurd words.
"Then, you began to snort like a pig and even asked me if you did well." At this point, Elliot could no longer hold back his laughter. "If you dare get drunk ever again, I'm taking a video of the entire thing."
"You're just making all of this up since I don't remember anything, right? How could I possibly want thirty kids? I wouldn’t spout nonsense like that no matter how drunk I was!" Avery said with certainty.
"Do you still want to go on our honeymoon? " Elliot asked cheerfully. "I heard Wesley sent a postcard from a different country again?"
"That's right. It's a small country really far away from us. I looked it up online and found out that it's a really secluded and undeveloped country. It definitely isn't a tourist hotspot." Then, she wondered out
loud, "I have no idea why he would go there.
"Let's go check it out!" Elliot very quickly came to a decision. "He might still be in that country right now."
"Are you sure? I checked before and there are no direct flights from Aryadelle to that country at all. It's going to take two flight transfers and a cruise to actually get there. If we leave tomorrow, it would take us at least two days to arrive." Avery was not feeling well today and had to stay home and rest for the day.
"Don't you want to find him?" Elliot's eyes turned cold, but his tone was even icier. " Whether or not Shea is still alive, I still want to find him and him for myself where he buried her! I don't believe that he actually scattered her ashes in the ocean! I need to get a definite answer from him."
Avery watched his emotional outburst
"Even if we're not related by blood, it doesn't erase the decades of time that we spent together. People get attached to dogs that they raise for a few years. Why wouldn't we be attached to other human beings?"
