The next day, Avery got up early. She covered the bruise on her face with concealer.
Elliot's hoarse voice suddenly came from the bed. "Avery, why are you up so early? Did you lose sleep?"
"I slept early last night, so I woke up earlier today." Avery looked at the time. It was not even seven in the morning yet. "Elliot, sleep a little longer. It's still early."
Elliot looked at her made-up face. He said in confusion, "Are you heading out today?"
"I'm planning to go to work starting today. I can't stay home any longer." Avery smiled. "You were saying that I was thinking nonsense previously. If I were to go to work, I wouldn't be like that anymore." "Even if you’re going to work, you don't have to get up so early. Come sleep with me a while longer." Elliot reached his hand out.
Avery found it hard to refuse him, so she walked over to the bed and sat down.
His deep-set eyes were looking at her face closely.
"I have never seen you make up for work before." He knew that she did not like to put on makeup, so he thought that her strange actions had a deeper reason behind them.
"I just bought a new foundation. It's really moisturizing. It's much better than a moisturizer." Avery came up with an excuse. "Do you want to try it?"
Elliot immediately refused.
"Elliot, are you always that suspicious?" Avery chuckled lightly. "Are you thinking that I put on makeup to see other men?"
"I never thought that." Elliot hugged her around the waist. He said what was on his mind. "I care about you, so I would think more about it when you do something out of the ordinary."
She never thought that he would be so honest with his feelings. Her nose turned sore. She pecked his cheeks. "Elliot, I love you. No matter how many times I say this, it isn't enough."
"Me too," Elliot responded to her confession.
"What are we doing? It's as if we're about to part in death!" Avery laughed and nestled in his arms. She hugged him tightly.
"Our company has recently reached the advanced stage in our product development. If the testing goes well, it could be on the market soon."
"I always knew that you're a career-minded woman."
"Hmm. Being pregnant for the past year was like living a different life," Avery said with a sigh, "But now, seeing Robert so smart ;b*;WNS? healthy, everything was worth it."
"Whatever you want to do in the future, just do it. I’ll be your biggest supporter."
