“Don’t touch me!” Hayden yelled out.
He quickly wore his cap back on his head.
Mrs. Cooper got shocked when Hayden yelled at her.
Elliot and Shea stared at Hayden while Shea was frightened because Hayden yelled out. Whereas Elliot was stunned because it was the first time he saw Hayden’s full face. He even saw similarities between his and Hayden’s face.
“Then can you wipe it yourself?” Mrs. Cooper asked after twisting the towel and handing it to Hayden, “You have sweat on your face. It’ll be more comfortable after wiping it.”
Hayden took the towel and threw it back into the bucket.
Since Hayden was very temperamental, Mrs. Cooper took the bucket and left.
“If you don’t tell me how you know Shea and why did you both argue, don’t even think about going home tonight,” Elliot returned to his senses and threatened Hayden.
Hayden turned a deaf ear and walked towards the door.
Two bodyguards appeared outside of the door and stopped Hayden from going any further. Hayden raised his head and stared at them.
The two bodyguards felt stressed as Hayden continued to stare at them. They wondered why this boy had such a fierce expression.
Hayden was unlike any other normal kid. The bodyguards could tell that Hayden was a threat to them when he looked at them so fiercely. Hayden had a similar aura as Elliot and that pressured the bodyguards.
Hayden looked at his watch. It was 4:50 p.m. He knew his grandma would inform his mum if she failed to pick him up from school at 5:30 p.m. He was certain that his mum would come looking for him. All he needed to do was wait patiently.
When Elliot saw Hayden sitting down beside the door, he knew that he had lost. There was nothing else he could do. It was impossible for Elliot to use any tactics against him. He knew ‘Avery would never forgive him if he had tried anything.
“Shea, when did you get to know Hayden?” Since Elliot could not get an answer from Hayden, he asked Shea instead.
Shea was eating the banana that Mrs. Cooper had peeled for Hayden. As she listened to Elliot’s question, her eyes flashed with anxiousness and nervousness.
At that moment, she remembered the time when she begged Hayden to bring her away from the school. She knew if she told it to Elliot, he would be mad at her.
It did not matter if Elliot was mad at her. The most important factor was that she did not want Hayden to be mad at her. Hayden would totally ignore her if that was the case.
Hence, she slowly ate her banana and looked at Elliot with a pair of innocent eyes. Her eyes were telling Elliot that she would not answer his question, and it was best if he stopped asking.
A sense of failure slowly appeared in Elliot’s heart. There were so many similarities between Shea and Hayden. Both of them disliked talking. They did not like to interact with strangers.
Elliot was flustered as he kept thinking about how both of them knew each other and what had they said to each other.
“Master Elliot, how did you hurt your neck?” Mrs. Cooper was shocked to see the bite marks on Elliot’s neck, “I’ll go get the first aid kit.”
Elliot glanced at Hayden and said, “You don’t have to.”
He presumed that Avery would arrive anytime now and she would be very angry. He wanted to save the bite mark and show it to Avery.
A Rower parked up outside in the front yard. Avery got off from her car. Hayden immediately stood up when he saw his mum.
It was only five in the morning. He did not expect mom to be here so soon!
Although his mom had always said that he was adopted, he knew his mom loved him greatly.
“Hayden!” Avery saw her son sitting on the sill with two muscular men beside him. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Hearing Avery’s voice, Elliot stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door.
The bodyguards dared not stop Avery.
They had witnessed how much Elliot had loved this woman.
Although she was now his ex-wife, she was different from all the other women that Elliot was acquainted with Elliot saw Avery carrying Hayden as her eyes reddened, she looked as if her son was being mistreated.
“Avery, let’s talk.”
Avery was fuming, “What gives you the right to bring Hayden to your house!? Did you have my permission? What you did was against the law!”
Elliot’s brows furrowed, “I did not hurt him! I only wanted to know when did he meet Shea? Why did they fall out?”
Avery refuted, “Can’t you ask Shea instead?! Elliot, I know Shea means a lot to you, but this is not a reason for you to bully my son!”
Elliot’s head was hurting badly. Indeed, he did not have her permission to bring Hayden home.
“I did not bully your son!” Elliot said.
“You brought him to your house by force and made him sit on the floor. Is this not bullying? Then, tell me! What is bullying?”
Avery suddenly saw the tooth mark and dried blood on Elliot’ s neck.
Did her son bite him?
Suddenly, she grew uncertain.
Mrs. Cooper saw the two of them fighting in the front yard, she walked out and helped Elliot explain, “Avery, Master Elliot did not bully your son. I brought him food and drinks but he turned them down.” .
When Avery saw Mrs. Cooper, she calmed down.
She had not seen Mrs. Cooper for years but she still seemed as friendly as ever.
“Fighting won’t solve the problem.” Mrs. Cooper walked to Avery and patted her shoulder,” Don’t stand outside, come in and have a seat.”
Avery was unwilling to go in but Mrs. Cooper pulled her by her arm as she walked in.
The interior design and decoration were the same as they were four years ago.
Avery had an unsettling feeling inside her.
“I’d like to have a chat with you,” Elliot said.
Avery was worried about Hayden so she glanced at him.
Somehow, she saw Shea.
Shea was standing by the sofa as she looked at Avery blankly.
Avery quickly retrieved her gaze from Shea. She followed Elliot into the study room on the first floor.
Shea saw Avery’s face and instantly recalled the memories from before!
Instead of Doctor Sanford, she hoped that Avery could stay with her brother.
That way, she would be able to see Avery more often.
However, Avery seemed hostile toward her brother. She was scared of her.
After the study room door was shut, Hayden instantly walked over.
Shea saw and followed.
The two of them leaned on the door of the study room, listening to the conversation inside.
