Chapter 520 Avery wanted to say something, but she was shocked by the glistening tears and undisguised vulnerability in Elliot’s eyes.

“Elliot…”

When she could not help but speak up, his name was what escaped her lips.

She wanted to ask him what was35 wrong.

“What’s wrong, Elliot?” she asked in an unintentionally gentle voice as her heart clenched tightly in her chest.

“I dreamt that you left me.” Elliot’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat and his voice was hoarse. “You ran off with another man.”
