Chapter 1077

“Of course, I can! But this has nothing to do with whether or not I wish you well. It’s up to the both of you
to keep things loving and happy! I wasn’t the one who wished for your constant bickering in the past now,
was I?” laughed Mike. “You don’t have to worry about Hayden. He’s pretty much settled down over there
now.”

“Did he say anything to you in secret?” Avery asked.

Mike chuckled softly and looked as if he had heard a good joke. “Do you think your son is the type of
person to reveal his secrets to others? He barely says two sentences to you, and you are his mother. He
doesn’t speak to others at all, okay? The first night he was at the new school, the teacher actually asked
me if he had a speaking disability.”

Avery was shocked. “Didn’t you say he was settled down?!”

“He is! I asked his teacher about it, and she said that she and the other students are used to him now.
She guaranteed that he won’t get bullied. Doesn’t that count as him being settled down?” Mike let out a
hearty guffaw.

Avery shot him a glare and said, “I shouldn’t have let him go abroad.”

“He’s already gone. It’s too late for you to regret it now. Elliot told me that the two of you will visit him
after the wedding. You can go and see things for yourself, then! I promise that your son hasn’t lost weight
and is growing up very well.”

“That would be best. If he’s not doing well there, then I’ll take him home with me.”

“Stop frowning. You’re going to be a bride tomorrow.” Mike examined her closely, then asked, “Do you
have any thoughts on that?”



Avery thought about it for a few seconds, then said, “I’m wondering why a wedding has to be such a
hassle. Elliot’s been behaving like a publicist since a few days ago. He’s been entertaining guests every
day since then.”

“I heard about it from Chad. Not only has Elliot turned into a publicist, but Chad and Ben have also been
working nonstop. Chad said that there are a bunch of beautiful women from Elliot’s old university that are
coming. Are you nervous about that?”

Avery opened the car door, got into the car, then said nonchalantly, “Have you not been to his office
before? There are plenty of gorgeous women who work there. Every time I’m there, I can’t help but think
that their HR department is comprised of former pageant contestants.”

“Ha ha ha! I’ll have to go EPIryC:1 see that for myself next time.”

When Avery and Mike arrived at the resort about an hour later, it was lunchtime.

Avery noticed the group of women who were Elliot’s friends from college.

The women were all in their thirties, but every single one of them had taken good care of themselves and
were oozing maturity, sensuality, and elegance.

Avery greeted everyone, then sat down next to Elliot.

“We finally get to see you in the flesh, Avery! You’re even more beautiful in real life than in your photos!
Elliot sure has good taste!” praised one of the women.

“I bet Avery’s looks aren’t the only thing that caught Elliot’s heart! He’s met plenty of beautiful women so
far, so there is definitely something extraordinary about Avery.” Elliot’s male college mates had a different
opinion. “I heard you studied medicine, Avery. Elliot must never have to go

to the hospital again once you’re married.”



Avery’s smile was restrained as she said, “I’m not a general practitioner. If he has any andrological
medical issues, he’s better off seeing a specialist!”

“What type of illnesses do you specialize in, then?”

“I’m a neurologist.”

“That’s amazing! I don’t know much about it, but I bet you’re incredible! Otherwise, why would Elliot
marry you?”

The man had a slip of tongue and did not consider Avery’s feelings.

Avery was not upset. Elliot’s friends thought that she had climbed the social ladder to nab him. After all,
she could not compare to him when it came to finances.

“I’m not with Avery for any of those complicated reasons,” Elliot said nonchalantly. “I’m with her because
she is beautiful.”

Avery choked and began to cough.

It was no exaggeration to say that every single one of his female college mates were gorgeous women.
Avery did not stand out while amongst them.

“One look was all it took for me to fall for her back then.” Elliot casually poured a glass of water for Avery
as he continued to casually explain his reason for marrying her. “Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also
got one hell of a body. Other than that, she’s got a good personality.”

Avery was stunned by his praises.

She glanced around the table and saw that everyone else was also stunned. Elliot Foster was an expert
at spouting utter nonsense!
