"Hayden!" Robert called out after Hayden. With the gifts in his hands, he stretched them out to Hayden, almost touching his face.Hayden was moved by Robert's insistence, so he accepted the gift.Elliot immediately took another gift out for Robert."You want to go see Layla decorate the place, is it? Shall I take you out?" Elliot realized that Hayden was quite awkward holding the gift, so he took Robert and left.Robert wanted to head out a moment ago, but Avery did not allow him to go out, which was why Layla had refused to let him follow her. Since he had not completely recovered from his cold, Avery thought that it would only grow worse if he were to be exposed to the cold.Elliot put on a beanie and a scarf for Robert, wrapping him up tightly before carrying him outside.Shea ran out to the courtyard. "Big Brother, this is the ravioli I made." Shea showed him the ravioli that she made with difficulty so that Elliot would be able to recognize it. "Later, when the ravioli is

Afraid that Elliot might reject her, Ruby immediately said, "Elliot, I beg you not to be so cruel. I will never come again. Once the child is born, I have to care for the child…"Elliot stood in the courtyard outside the door. He turned slightly and looked toward the door of the mansion. Avery was looking at him, but she did not walk over.Shea was tugging at her arm, saying something to her.When Avery realized that Elliot was looking at her, she immediately looked at Shea's face."I won't see you, Ruby. Stop contacting me! You will only make me hate you even more!" Elliot's sensibility overcame his impulsiveness. He rejected Ruby coldly.Ruby instantly cried. She choked up and said, "I didn't come here deliberately. I just can't control myself. The baby has been kicking me. Every time she kicks me, I want to tell you that she is already a healthy, living being. She will be as smart and adorable as Layla in the future. Elliot, I don't ask you to give her the love of a proper fath

It was a call from Lilith.Avery immediately picked it up.Lilith's excited voice rang out. "Avery, I got second in the preliminary round! I got second!"Avery's heart was beating with excitement. "You're amazing! I knew you could do it!""Woo! I'm so happy! My initial target was just to be in the top ten to be able to enter the semifinals. I thought that if I got that I'll be happy enough! I never expected to come in second for the preliminary round! My marks were only slightly lower than the first place!""Lilith, you're amazing! If Elliot hears about this, he would surely be happy for you.""I also hope that he will be impressed with me! I will work hard for the remainder of the competition!" At that, Ben's voice suddenly came through. "Are you talking with Avery?""Who else? Why are you asking the obvious?""Go back and talk! I've already booked the flight tickets back to Aryadelle. Let's go home!" Ben said.The fireworks lit up the night skies with bright colors.Avery

Avery shook her head. "He said that he went to see a friend. He will return home once he is done.""Why didn't he take you along?" Adrian asked in confusion."Maybe his friend only wants to see him, but not me," Avery replied casually. "Are you hungry? I'm a little hungry. If you're hungry, then I'll go make something to eat.""What are you planning to cook?" Adrian was a little hungry, so he got up.They headed to the kitchen.They made too much ravioli that morning so there was excess."Let's cook ravioli!" Avery took them out from the fridge."Okay! I like ravioli.""Is there anything that you don't like to eat?" Avery asked with a smile.Avery would naturally relax when chatting with Adrian."I don't like bitter squash." Adrian grimaced. "Bitter squash is really bitter, but Mrs. Scarlet likes them.""I don't like them either, but bitter squash is good stuff," Avery said. "But if you really don't like them, you don't have to eat them.""Hmm. Can I try cooking? I want to

Six celebrities were singing, and behind them were countless dancers, dancing to the song.It was a lively event. The song was uplifting too.Avery and Elliot sat on the sofa. They looked at the TV in unison."Ben called me," Elliot said. "He said that Lilith got second in the preliminary round.""I know. Lilith called me.""They're returning to Aryadelle tomorrow.""Hmm." This topic made Avery forget to ask Elliot who he had gone out to see a moment ago. "Will Lilith be continuing to stay in the hotel? That's not good, right?""Are you thinking of asking her to stay in my place?" Elliot asked. "She can stay at mine too! It's New Year's! Everyone is with family, yet we ask Lilith to stay at a hotel. That's too cold.""I'll listen to you. She'll stay wherever you place her," Elliot said. He looked at her clear eyes. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Just now, I was—""Avery, come see if the ravioli is cooked or not!" Adrian called out to Avery in the kitchen.She imme

The other person immediately replied, [780,000 dollars. I'm sure this is not a huge amount for you, right? As long as you wire the money tonight, I'll make sure to destroy all of the photos.]Avery saw the amount and found it amusing. Was Elliot and Ruby's photo worth that much money? She wanted to grit her teeth and yell at the other person, "Just publish them! Do it now! Even if you take photos of them sleeping together, I won't be afraid, let alone them meeting each other!"If Elliot was not afraid of it, what was she afraid about? She only found it despicable. She was afraid her children would feel so too.As a person ages, they become more stable and mature. They could bear the pain that they might not be able to bear in the past, or perhaps, they might even grow numb to the pain.Avery copied the bank account number the other party sent over, then she tapped into her banking app and wired 780,000 dollars over.When the other party received the money, they sent a message, [

This was not the life that Avery wanted. If Elliot and she were at the stage where they had to pretend to keep their relationship together, she would rather not have this relationship.If she had brought her children up alone, she would not have had such troubles. She did not want pity from anybody. She did not want to be locked up by the chains of a relationship.The more she thought, the clearer her mind was, and the more she could not sleep.After a long time, she seemed to have fallen asleep and even had a dream. Even in her dream, she knew that she was dreaming.She did not sleep well. Her dream started for only a short while before it morphed into another dream.She dreamt for a few hours. Then, she was completely awake. She picked her phone up to look at the time. It was almost five in the morning.She let out a sigh of relief. In a short while, he would soon be up.At seven-thirty in the morning, the quietness of the mansion was broken. Layla and Hayden had gotten up. Th

Avery left at six in the morning?It was winter. At six, dawn had not arrived.Elliot picked up his phone and walked to the door. He looked outside and called Avery.Soon, she picked up."Where are you? Why did you leave so early in the morning?" His constricted heart relaxed a little."I'm visiting my mother's grave." Avery's tone was calm. "Why don't you look after the children at home today!""Why don't you want me to go with you?" Elliot preferred to follow her to the grave."Mike is with me. Why don't you stay at home!"Avery was in deep thought. Elliot could sense that she was not in a good mood and was not willing to talk, so he did not say anything else.After hanging up, Layla walked over to him and asked, "Where did Mommy go? Why did she leave so early in the morning? Did you make her angry?""Your mother went to visit your grandmother's grave," Elliot explained. "She misses your grandmother."Layla responded, "Oh. I miss her too. Although I haven't seen her in a
