At ten in the morning, a Rolls-Roice stopped in front of the gate of an old community house. The door of the car flung open, and a tall figure alighted the vehicle. Elliot was wearing a long navy blue quilted coat, a gray scarf, and a pair of brand new leather boots. Even though he was dressed warmly, his face was pale and haggard. His cold and noble temperament was incompatible with everything around him.
The driver and bodyguard followed Elliot, carrying expensive gifts.
Laura trotted from the kitchen to open the door when she heard a knock. She was shocked to see Elliot.
"Why are you here?" Laura froze, then she opened the door, urging, "Come in! I heard that you are sick. Are you okay?"
Although it was early winter, it was not cold enough to wear a jacket.
Elliot glanced at the clean floor and hesitated. "Do we need to remove our shoes?"
Laura immediately shook her head. "No, there's no need! Come in!"
She invited Elliot inside and saw the gift boxes the driver and bodyguard were carrying.
"Why did you bring so many gifts?" Laura asked,
confused.
Avery had taken all her luggage with her last night. Laura had dared not ask her anything. However, she guessed that her daughter had broken up with Elliot for good, which was why she had dragged her luggage back. Laura had never expected Elliot to come over.
"I'm here to pay you a visit." Elliot walked over to the sofa and sat down.
After the driver and bodyguard placed the gifts in the living room, they left. Laura found the remote and turned on the heating.
"Oh... You and Avery... last night..." Laura appeared to be in a dilemma, and she did not know how to broach the subject.
Elliot looked at Laura sincerely, and he said, "I didn't see her last night. There's some misunderstanding between her and me."
