Chapter 1564
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
Chapter 1565
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, [
Chapter 1567
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

This was why Elliot was back late the night before. He took the photos back with him but left them in his car. He did not take them out.He walked over to the trunk and took the photos out. He held the photos and went to his study room.He turned on the light and looked at the baby's ultrasound photo carefully. Then, he picked up the family photo he had on his desk.He even took Layla's photo and compared it to the baby's. They looked similar.Elliot placed the photo down and clutched his forehead.His dream of a peaceful and quiet life had been certified as comical.On the other side, Avery had just finished visiting her mother's grave before heading to Mike's.Ever since Avery and Elliot reconciled, Mike had moved out of Starry River Villa. Only when Avery or Elliot was not around, would he return for a short stay."What's going on?" Mike had a head full of unkempt hair. He poured her a cup of water. "I still have some milk, but it's cold. You look a little pale. You should d

Avery was so wrongfully mistreated. Mike had to give Elliot a proper scolding. If not, he would not be relieved of the anger.Also, he had to make sure what Elliot's feelings for Ruby were!If Elliot decided to get all tangled up with Ruby, Mike had to convince Avery to get a divorce!He dialed Elliot and the call was soon picked up."Avery said that she went with you to the cemetery. Where are you all now?" Elliot sounded as calm as usual."She said that she took me to the cemetery?" Mike was stunned."Didn't you go with her?" Elliot was stunned too."Hehe. Elliot, the cemetery is not the main issue. The main issue is that she caught wind of your rendezvous with Ruby last night!"Mike yelled angrily, "What the hell are you planning to do? If you don't want to be with Avery, divorce her already! Don't lead her on and have an affair outside!""She told you about it?" Elliot did not expect that his suspicions would come true. "I did see Ruby last night. I was about to tell Aver
Chapter 1571
If Avery were to stop Elliot from seeing Ruby and her child, it would be tragically inhumane!"Mike, the baby looks a lot like Layla," Elliot explained his reason. "I can show you the photo, but you can't tell Avery. I'm afraid that she will be sad.""Hehehe! I'm not going to see them! You have screwed things up so badly, of course, you'll find an excuse for yourself! You're barking up the wrong tree! I'm with Avery! If you don't cut off ties with Ruby and that baby, Avery will do it sooner or later! You cannot have the best of both worlds!"Hearing Mike's reprimands, Elliot swallowed his words.Even Mike already had such a huge reaction. If Avery knew about it, her reaction would surely not be any smaller than his.Since Elliot stopped talking, Mike slightly regained his sensibilities. "Did you say that the child looks like Layla? Are you sure you're not joking? How could your child with Ruby look like Layla?""Ruby showed me the child's ultrasound photo," Elliot explained."Oh
