“That is, to focus on your studies and accept your treatments. Get well soon.” Mrs. Cooper looked at Shea with sympathy, “By then, everyone will like Shea.”
Shea believed her.
Inside the study room, the topic of Avery’s man finally ended due to Avery telling Elliot that, the more Elliot looked down on Mike, the more she liked Mike.
This was reverse psychology.
Avery knew very well how to beat Elliot in arguments. Therefore, he stopped mentioning Mike.
She thought she could leave now, but he was not done!
Avery saw him taking out a photo.
It was a screenshot of the CCTV from Elizabeth Hospital.
It was taken on the day when Avery performed surgery on Shea. Two children went to her and she left with both of them.
“The girl in your arms, you adopted her?” Elliot’s eyes were fixed on her face.
Avery tossed the photo into the bin, she said nonchalantly, “Yes! I adopted both of them. Why do you ask me? Do you want to adopt a child? Oh, I almost forgot, you don’t like kids.”
Elliot said, “You don’t even have time to take care of a child, so why did you adopt two children?”
Avery said, “I want to and I like to. What can you do?”
Elliot was speechless.
Avery saw that it was almost six. She had to bring Hayden home.
She marched out of the study room and went to the living room. She saw a woman with her long hair down. She had a lavender-colored long dress on. Was she Elliot’s new girlfriend, Zoe Sanford?
“You must be Avery.” Zoe went forward to greet her, “Nice to meet you, I’m Zoe.”
Avery glanced at her and said without enthusiasm, “Yeah, I’m leaving now.”
Avery and Hayden left.
Zoe watched as she left and zoned out for a moment.
Avery was younger and more beautiful than she imagined.
Why did she look for Elliot today? She even brought a boy here…was that Elliot’s son?
So, she came here with the boy, trying to get back with Elliot?
Thinking of this, Zoe felt disgusted.
Would Elliot get back with Avery because of this?
“Elliot, sorry to show up unannounced.” Zoe pointed at the cake on the table, “My friend bought this cake for me but I can’t finish it on my own so I brought this over.”
Elliot glanced at the cake, “Happy birthday, did you receive your gift?”
Zoe halted, “Someone did send me a parcel in the afternoon. I didn’t know it was you who sent it, so I haven’t opened it.”
Elliot nodded, “I don’t eat cake, and neither does Shea. You can eat with Mrs. Cooper!”
With that said, he walked toward Shea and brought her back to her room.
.
After they had left, Zoe took out the cake.
“Mrs. Cooper, when did Avery come?” Zoe smiled as she cut a slice for Mrs. Cooper.
Mrs. Cooper said, “Not long ago. She came to pick up her son.”
“Oh…that boy was her son! He doesn’t seem too young!”
Mrs. Cooper said, “He was adopted.”
Zoe was shocked and at the same time, the alarm in her was lifted, “I thought he was a child of hers and Elliot.”
“They did have a child. If they did not abort the baby, the baby should be around the age of that kid now.” Mrs. Cooper thought there was no harm to say this. After all, this happened a long time ago. “I guess Avery adopted this kid to make up for the aborted baby.”
Zoe asked, “Why did they abort the baby?”
Mrs. Cooper said, “Master Elliot didn’t want it. He doesn’t like children. Miss Sanford, my advice to you is that, if you want to stay with him, don’t mention having a baby. Even if you have it, he will ask for an abortion.”
Zoe nodded quickly, “Thank you for reminding me.”
On the way home, Avery asked her son, “Did Elliot bully you?”
Hayden said, “No.”
Avery asked, “Was he mean to you?”
Hayden said, “No.”
Avery let out a sigh of relief, “Hayden, why don’t I transfer you to another school?”
“You don’t need to,” Hayden said.
“You like this school a lot?” Avery asked.
“I don’t hate it,” Hayden replied.
It was because he had no friends and nobody bossed him around.
The teachers worshipped him and let him do anything he wanted. He had more freedom than when he was at home.
“I’m afraid that you might bump into Elliot next time, what if he brings you home again…” Avery was worried.
She claimed that Hayden was adopted, how long would this excuse work?
If Elliot started to suspect her one day and ran a DNA test on Hayden, her lie would be exposed.
By then, both of her children would be in danger.
“He is my father, right?” Hayden said as he fiddled with a piece of paper.
Avery glanced at her son, “How do you know?”
“He looks like me,” Hayden replied. Avery did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Was it that obvious?”
“Layla looks like you.” Hayden said.
“Hayden, he’s indeed the father of the both of you. However, he doesn’t like kids so it’s best if the both of you don’t go to him. If he finds out that you’re both his kids, I don’t know what he’ d do.” Avery said.
Hayden replied, “We don’t want a father like him!”
“Hayden, I feel that after you’ve come back home, you’ve changed and improved a lot,” Avery said.
“Mom, I’m not ill, I just find those people childish and boring, ” Hayden said.
Avery nodded, “I know. You like smart people like Uncle Mile. However, when you’re older, you will realize that the people who are not as smart are equally special. We must learn to focus on the merits of others, such as kindness and innocence.”
Hayden did not agree with that but he did not refute her.
Perhaps when he was older, he would understand what she meant.
Zoe arrived home at seven in the evening. She opened the gift she received in the afternoon.
She was disappointed in Elliot because it was likely that this gift was not chosen by Elliot.
The shop assistant sent it over, it could have been Elliot’s assistant choosing it.
She was right. Elliot made Chad choose it. Chad picked her a Chavel handbag.
Zoe looked at this bag and the image of Avery’s face came to her mind.
Elliot lied to her for Avery.
He claimed that Shea was not feeling well and that he had to stay home with her. The truth was that he was staying home for Avery.
He canceled their date for Avery.
Normally, she would not mind if he had done this to her. However, today was her birthday!
She felt very mistreated.
On the next day at Tate Industries.
The front desk called and announced that Elliot’s girlfriend came.
