Sandra cleared her throat and asked, "Are you hungry? I cooked some oatmeal and added some fruits. Come and try it.""I'll wait for Wesley." Shea and Sandra walked toward the kitchen together."Then have a boiled egg. Wesley told me last night to get up early today and make breakfast. He said I mustn't let you go hungry." Sandra gave her a boiled egg and then carried out some freshly baked goods from the oven. "I cooked some macaroni as well, so feel free to just eat whatever you feel like having. Don't be shy.""I'm not hungry yet. You should take a seat and rest for a while, Aunt Sandra!" Shea said politely."You're so considerate, Shea. I'm not surprised that Wesley likes you so much." Sandra grew even fonder of Shea with every passing glance. "Did your brother say anything when you didn't go home last night?""No. He knows that Wesley and I have a good relationship, so he's not going to say anything." Shea sat down at the table, tapped the boiled egg on the table, and carefull

In the dining hall, Avery felt a little unaccustomed to eating breakfast alone."Did Adrian go out for some new year's visits too?"Mrs. Scarlet answered, "Shea and Wesley came to pick him up in the morning.""Shea and Wesley were here?""Yeah. The two of them are going to go skiing today, so they asked Adrian to join them." Mrs. Scarlet said pitifully. "Adrian would've been alone otherwise, and it's kinda sad if you think about it.""He can join Hayden and the kids."Mrs. Scarlet: "Do you know where they went to celebrate the new year today?""Where?" Avery asked in surprise."Mike's place." The smile on Mrs. Scarlet's face was unable to hide the sadness in her expression. "Master Elliot doesn't have any relatives, and you don't have much contact with yours either, right?"Mrs. Scarlet's words stunned Avery."Adrian has a brother, but unfortunately his eldest brother is a terrible person." The smile on Mrs. Scarlet's face disappeared completely. "But at least they more aware

"You're right. But she has her reasons for doing so. Elliot stood out from his peers, showing intelligence and a level of maturity that was far above that of other people, even in kindergarten. He was Madam Rosalie's pride, and Eason was very proud of him too. The atmosphere at home was also much better than before. Do you think he'll be able to accept the truth behind his background? I think not. Madam Rosalie is worried that the peace she strived so hard to get would disappear forever," Mrs. Scarlet explained. "I understand how she feels."Avery understood too.It was cruel to separate Elliot from his child at Ylore, but she did that nonetheless.What right did she have to say that Rosalie was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman?Later that evening, Mrs. Cooper and the three children returned.Hayden and Layla brought Avery a lot of delicious snacks and sweets."Chad brought these special treats from his hometown," Mrs. Cooper said. "He cooked lunch and dinner today, and I must a

"Didn't you say you would eat with me?""I'll play with the kids for a while." Avery's heart melted when she looked at her daughter's tearful eyes.Elliot nodded and went to the dining room.After he walked away, Hayden said in a sullen voice, "Why did you lie, Mommy? Elliot was the one who hurt you.""He didn't do it on purpose," Avery explained. "He'll be sad if we tell it to his face.""Let him learn his lesson!" Hayden raised his voice on purpose so Elliot could hear it clearly from the dining room.Layla pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and said in a crying voice, "Daddy is such a careless klutz! You should punch a boo-boo on his head too."Avery sighed. "Your uncle Mike already punched him, and your father now has a boo-boo on his head too."Layla stopped crying immediately. "That's more like it.""You should eat if you're hungry, Mommy!" Hayden said."Sure... Although, how did you know it was your father who did it?" Avery did not remember telling them about her in

"Hayden, let me take you to the hospital for a checkup!" Avery said.There was medicine for the stomach at home.Elliot had stomach problems, so he always kept stomach medicines at home.If Hayden was expressing his discomfort, it meant that he must be in great pain, so it was best to go to the hospital for an examination so she could be assured.She thought Hayden would refuse, but she did not expect him to agree.The driver had taken Elliot out, so Avery drove Hayden to the hospital.On the way, Hayden explained honestly: "Mom, I pretended to be sick."Avery: "Huh?""I have registered for you. You need to go and see the doctor." Hayden explained, "If you don't want Elliot to know, I can cover up for you."Avery couldn't help laughing, but she didn't expect that her son would pretend to be sick to trick her into going to the hospital."What department did you help me register at?""The neurology department.""Okay, let's go." he warmed her heart, "Hayden, it's not that mot
