Chapter 976

"Why are you looking at me like that, Avery?"

A pink flush washed over Elliot's handsome face.

He and Avery had made up and were in a loving relationship, but she would rare stare straight at him
like this unless they were in a fight.

He could not tell what she was thinking.

This was also one of the reasons he was so obsessed with her.

"I think you look particularly dashing today."

Avery led Elliot over to the couch, then stroked the hair on his head and said, "Did you put on hair wax?
It's not good for you.You're still very handsome without it."

Elliot was speechless.

He suspected Avery was on some kind of drug.Why else would she be acting this strangely?

"Have you had breakfast yet? Shall I get you a glass of milk?"

Avery said, then went to the kitchen to get a glass of milk before he could answer.

She handed the glass to him and said, "Drink up! "

Elliot held the glass of milk in his hand, then gazed at her with eyes filled with suspicion.

"Avery, you..."



"Don't move! I think I saw a strand of gray hair on your head!"

Avery turned him around, then carefully pulled out two strands of hair off the top of his head.

The pain was nothing to Elliot, but his feelings took a hit.

When did he start turning gray?

"Let me see."

He wanted to see his gray hairs.

A wave of anxiety flashed across Avery's eyes.

Her cheeks flushed as she said, "What's there to look at? I already tossed it on the floor.Do you want to
look for it there?"

Then, she yawned.

Of course, Elliot would not get down on the floor to search for the strands of gray hair.

He felt Avery's behavior toward him return to normal after she plucked the gray hairs out.

"You didn't say you were coming over yesterday.Why are you here so early?"

Avery said as she walked toward the master bedroom.

"I'm going to change.Wait here in the living room for me."

Elliot got up from the couch with the glass of milk still in his hand.

Mrs.Cooper walked over to him with Robert in her arms.



"Robert woke up at five in the morning and played till seven, so he's pretty wiped out right now."

Mrs.Coope chuckled said, "He knows how to flip over now.I'm guessing he'll start to learn how to walk
in a couple of months.

Elliot gazed tenderly at his son's chubby face, then asked, "Do you think Avery was acting a little weird
earlier?"

Mrs.Cooper was taken aback.

"I don't think so! She probably got you some milk because she was worried you'd be hungry!"

"She even called me handsome."

Avery was not such a straightforward person.She rarely praised Elliot like that at all, so he was stunned
and over the moon.

Mrs.Cooper laughed out loud and said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Now that you've made up,
of course, she finds you handsome."

Elliot felt embarrassed and took a sip of milk.

"Have you had dinner yet, Master Elliot?" asked Mrs.Cooper.

"Not yet.I'll have breakfast with Avery once she comes out."

"Alright.I'll put Robert in his bed for now."

Mrs.Cooper placed Robert in the crib, then walked toward the kitchen.

Avery emerged in changed clothes very quickly.



"You cased the place before you came in, didn't you?" she teased.

"You arrived right after the twins left for school."

"I didn't want Hayden to be unhappy to see me."

Elliot walked into the dining room with Avery, then said, "I brought the sketches for the ring that the
designer sent to me.I also wanted to discuss our lives together."

"The sketches are already done?"

Avery was a little surprised.

"You kept emphasizing that you wanted a simple design and nothing showy yesterday.Even I could
come up with something that simple."

"Ha ha! Design something for me, then," Avery teased.

"If your design turns out even better than a professional designer's work, then I'll go with yours."

"Let's have breakfast first.We'll look at it after we're done eating."
