Chapter 1024

His heart twitched at the question and he immediately tried to pull Avery out of the study room.

Avery noticed he was trying to hide something and released his hand to walk toward his desk.

"How's the wedding venue coming? When's the rehearsal? Have you taken any videos today?" She
asked as she went to sit down on his leather chair.

As soon as she sat down, the document on his laptop came into sight.

"Ahem!" Her face flushed as she cleared her throat awkwardly.

"I think your vow is too brief so I'm trying to extend it.

"A faint pink shade crept up Elliot's handsome- looking face as he reached his arm over to close the
laptop.Avery stopped him and gazed up.

"I will write it myself! I thought you needed it fast so I didn't put much effort into it.I will be able to write a
much longer vow if I try again."

"you don't really need a long vow.Just be sincere enough to move me," he stated his minimum
requirement.

Her brows twitched at the request.

"Why? Is that so difficult?"He asked in a hoarse voice when he noticed her frowning.

She smiled and shook her head.

"I just like that it's so easy! I wouldn't want to marry you if I didn't love you, right?"



"Okay.Carry on, then.I will go take a shower.I hope to see a vow that satisfies me by the time I'm done."

He looked at her gently and tapped her on the shoulder like he was entrusting her with an important
mission.

Avery instantly felt that a heavy responsibility had landed on her shoulder.

"Take your time..."

"Sure, I will try my best to slow down."

After he had left the study room, she found his vow out of curiosity.

Ten minutes later, she was utterly moved after reading his vow.

When Elliot came out of the shower, he spotted Avery laying on the bed, playing with her phone.

"You're done with your shower?" She gazed up at him.

"Are you done with your vow?"

He dried his hair with a towel and stared at her in confusion through his fringe.

She took the laptop off the nightstand and showed him the screen.

"The vow you wrote is great. I am so moved that I might cry.I'm a bit worried that your vow is too long
though, you will be exhausted to read all of it out, so just split five hundred words to my vow.That way,
my vow is considered completed," she suggested.

She did not write a single word down decided to get Elliot to share half of his vow with her so that her
vow would be as touching as Elliot's vow.

Elliot had not expected her to come up with such an idea.



At that moment, he wasn't sure if he should compliment her for being smart or get angry at her for being
lazy.

"What's wrong? Aren't we getting married? If you won't even share five hundred words with me, why are
we even getting married?"

Avery noticed that he was stunned, and teased.

Elliot tossed the towel aside and lowered his gaze.

"What brought you here tonight?"

"I just felt like it.Do I need your permission to come in here?"

She continued to tease him, "Even your bodyguard knows to open the door without needing to inform
you when he sees me.How understanding!"

"Alright, I will give him a raise."

He picked up the watch he set down on the nightstand before he went to shower and checked the time.

"Are the kids asleep? “

"I turned off all the lights, anyway.Not sure if they are really asleep, though.Those two love to chat
through the night."

Avery had not tried eavesdropping on them, but Layla had told her about it before.

"By the way, did you pass the workbooks I bought for Hayden to him?"

Elliot scowled and continued, "I thought about it and I feel like it's not really that appropriate of a gift."



Elliot thought back to when he was a student and realized that he would have held a grudge against
anyone who gave him workbooks or study materials as gifts.

Avery smiled gently and shook her head.

"It's fine.Just let me know the next time you want to buy something for them.I can give you some ideas."

"Sure."

"Your hair is still wet, let me blow-dry your hair for you."

Avery set her phone down to retrieve the blow- dryer and soon returned from the bathroom with it.
