Chapter 1078
When His Eyes Opened
âSheâs a good cook and makes me whatever I want to eat. Sheâs very good to me.â
âShe can also knit. The sweater she knitted me is better than anything that you could get at a store.
âShe cheers me up when Iâm unhappy.
âShe takes me out on dates when Iâm happy. You should all know that Iâve always been a boring person,
but sheâs never held that against me.
âWhen Iâm sick, she would stay up all night and take care of me with devotion. Sheâs an outstanding
mother, entrepreneur, and an amazing wife.â
It was as if Elliot had too much to drink and was on a drunken ramble. Avery was in a daze from his
praise and wanted to dig a hole and hide inside it.
She had never thought of herself as someone that extraordinary.
She suspected that Elliot was describing his dream wife.
âWhy are you so talkative today, Elliot?â She poured him a glass of juice in hopes that he would calm
down.
Elliot took a sip of juice and got even more excited. He fixed his deep-set eyes on Avery, then asked,
âWhy do you want to marry me, Avery?â
Avery was at a loss for words.
She saw what he was thinking through his eyes.
He wanted her to praise him just as he had just done to her.
âLetâs hear about why you want to marry Elliot, Avery! Youâre such a catch, after all. You must have
plenty of admirers!â someone in the crowd urged.
Avery awkwardly cleared her throat, then mustered up her courage and said, âI think Iâm rather shallow.
Iâm willing to marry him not only because heâs handsome and has a muscular body, but also because of
his money. Yes, you heard me right. I love him for his money.â
The crowd was speechless.
Elliot gazed at her with misty eyes and encouraged her to continue.
âHeâs a conceited man with high self-esteem, so heâs always pissing me off. Every time I get upset with
him, he would buy expensive gifts for me.â Avery revealed her true feelings. âHe often buys me
expensive jewelry. I donât like wearing them, but I like looking at them.
âNot only did he give me all of his passwords to his social media accounts, but he also gave me the
passwords to his credit card CVNqyF>3 security deposit box. He was worried that I wouldnât remember
all of them, so he wrote them all down in a little notebook and gave it to me,â Avery
added
At that moment, all the women at the table were drowning in jealousy!
âAlso, guess what he said when I asked him how much he would pay me to marry him.â Avery
deliberately kept everyone guessing for a moment, then said, âHe said he would wrap himself up and
give himself to me.â
âHoly sh*t! Have you always been this generous to women, Elliot? Youâre really giving yourself away?â
someone gasped in disbelief.
âSeeing how loving Avery and Elliot are makes me believe in true love! This is sweeter than any of the
romantic dramas Iâve seen on TV! No script would compare to this!â
âElliot, if Iâd known you were such a loving man, I wouldâve worked harder back then to make you mine!â
said one of the women regretfully.
âYour hard work wonât pay off. Elliot likes women like Avery who are both beautiful and intelligent. You
might be beautiful, but can you cook? Do you know how to knit a sweater? Can you treat sick patients?â
âFine! I admit defeat! Avery really is incredible!â
After a joyful lunch, Avery dragged Elliot off to rest.
When they retumed to their room, Elliot chuckled, âYou love me for my money?â
âWhen did I ever cook for you?â Avery retorted.
âDo you want to know my passwords? Iâll write them all down in a notebook for you.â Then, Elliot walked
over to the desk and searched for a pen and paper.
