Chapter 1083

“Why would people criticize him?” Layla took Avery’s words seriously, and she looked sad.

Avery did not know how to explain things to her daughter.

She worried that if she revealed everything to Layla tonight will make it difficult for her to fall asleep, so
she held her tongue.

“It’s nothing. I was just speaking hypothetically. You have to remember that your father is a good man.
Don’t dislike him no matter how other people criticize him.”

“Okay.” Layla was confused, but she nodded her head and said, “I’ll listen to you, Mommy.” Once Avery
finished helping Layla with her bath, she tucked her into bed.

It was already past ten by the time Avery returned to the master bedroom.

Elliot pointed at the midnight snack that the butler had sent over and asked, “Do you want to have
something to eat?”

Avery shook her head and said, “I gain weight easily if I eat this late at night. I want to be the most
beautiful bride tomorrow. Don’t tempt me with food.”

“I’ll ask the butler to take it away, then.” Elliot picked up the phone and called the butler.

Soon after, the butler entered the room and took the food away.

“Let’s go to bed, Elliot. I’m getting pretty tired.”

“Alright. Should I blow out the scented candle?”

“It’s fine. It smells pretty good.”



“Alright.”

Once the lights were turned off, the room fell into darkness.

Avery habitually wrapped her arms around Elliot’s waist and nuzzled her face into his chest.

The mixture of the scented candle and his familiar scent was so hypnotic that it put her straight to sleep.

By the time Avery opened her eyes again, the room was drowning in the light of the morning sun.

“Are you awake?” Elliot saw that Avery’s eyes were opened, so he sat up and said, “Let’s get up. The
makeup artist is here.”

“Okay. Did you turn off my alarm?” Avery picked up her phone and checked the time.

She had overslept.

“It’s fine to sleep in a little.” Elliot pulled off the covers and got out of bed. “I’ll get the butler to bring
breakfast.”

“Alright.” Avery stretched, then got out of the bed, DXMnpB>7 pulled the curtains apart.

Golden beams of light gleamed and sparkled into the room like flecks of gold.

The beautiful morning sun put a wide smile on her face.

After breakfast, the makeup artist, stylist, and designer all made their way into the villa.

Once the designer helped Avery into her wedding dress, she led her to the makeup table.

Soon after, Tammy and the bridesmaids arrived.



The villa filled with life as the women got their makeup done and their photos taken.

When Avery was done with her hair and makeup, she glanced around but did not catch sight of Elliot.

“Where’s Elliot?”

For some reason, she immediately began to feel uneasy when she did not see him.

“I saw him talking on the phone earlier, then he left,” Tammy said. “Maybe more guests arrived!” Avery
lowered her gaze, picked up her phone from the makeup table, and dialed Elliot’s number.
