The weeks flew by in a flash.The next day was Children's Day, as well as the day of Avery's prenatal checkup.In the beginning, she was afraid that the baby would not make it. After all, she had ingested plenty of drugs during the early stages of her pregnancy. Unexpectedly, the baby was strong enough to hold on until today.If the checkup goes well tomorrow, the hospital would open a new pregnancy medical file for Avery."Is Elliot going to the checkup with you tomorrow, Avery?" Mike asked during dinner."Do you have a date tomorrow? I can just go by myself," Avery said.Mike raised his brows and asked, "Elliot isn't going with you?""I don't need him or you to come with me. If you come, people might start to think that you are the father." "Get the nanny to go with you."She needs to stay home with the kids. Go on your date and don't worry about me," Avery said, then took a sip of soup. "I already made an appointment. I should be done by noon.""Okay," Mike responded

Elliot was standing as straight and as still as a statue at the front gate of Avery's house.Avery's heart began to pound wildly against her chest!She rushed back to the side of her bed and picked up her phone to check if Elliot had called or left any text messages.He did not.He did not contact her at all that morning."When did he arrive?"Why is he here this early?" she thought.If she had not noticed him, would he have waited silently out there the entire time?Avery quickly pulled out a dress from her closet and quickly changed into it, then rushed down the stairs.When the front door of the villa opened, Elliot's deep-set, hawk-like eyes looked over.Dressed in a white dress, Avery slowly walked out of the house.Elliot lifted his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch."It is only seven in the morning. Why was Avery up so early? "Do pregnant women not tend to suffer from lethargy?" thought Elliot.Avery arrived at the front of the yard and opened the gate.

Avery's mind went blank.She forgot everything she wanted to say."They're not even denying it! Hahaha!" teased Wesley's mother.Wesley scratched his head, then awkwardly changed the subject."The results from the blood test should be out by the time we're done with lunch."Avery nodded, then lowered her head and began to eat.After lunch, Avery insisted that Wesley did not need to accompany her back to the hospital to get her results.She already felt bad for troubling him that morning.Wesley's house was near the hospital, so Avery and Elliot walked to the hospital together."Why didn't you let me clear up the misunderstanding? Do you take pleasure in people's misunderstanding?" she said."We're not exactly close to Mrs. Brook, so there's no need to argue with her."Elliot walked by her side as he kept an eye on his surroundings."You might not be close to her, but I am.""Since you know her so well, you can explain things to her at any time."When the light at the cros
Chapter 497
Although Elliot had once been in a relationship with Zoe, rumors about his love life were less scandalous when compared to other successful men.…At six in the evening, Avery and the children arrived at the restaurant. Elliot had sent her the location the night before. Elliot had reserved a private VIP room.When Avery mentioned the room number at the reception desk, a waiter immediately led them to the room.The moment they stepped in, Layla exclaimed in shock!"Mommy! It's beautiful here!"The room was decorated to reflect Children's Day.The colorful balloons, lights, and flowers, as well as the presents that covered the floor, left them in awe."What's in all these gift boxes, Mommy?" Layla asked as she picked up one of the presents."They're decorations. There's nothing inside of them," Avery said.The waiter smiled and said, "Actually, Miss Tate, there are gifts in every single one of these boxes. Mr. Foster was the one who prepared them. They're all Children's Day g
Chapter 498
Elliot had not come to dinner because he was with Zoe. That was, however, not what had caused Avery the most hurt.The most painful thing for her was remembering the fact that Elliot and Zoe had once shared a child together.Moreover, Zoe had accused Avery of murdering her child… and Elliot had believed her.If not for his belief, Avery would not be pregnant with his child.At this point, her eyes filled with tears.She hung up as all the energy drained from her body, and she had to hold onto the dining table for support.When the children noticed the change in their mother's demeanor, they immediately leaped out of their seats."Mommy! What's wrong?!" Layla exclaimed as her eyes glistened with tears."Is he not coming, Mommy?" Hayden guessed. "Don't cry, Mommy. Let's go home!"Avery forced herself to swallow her tears, then guiltily said, "You're both hungry, right? Let's go somewhere else for dinner."The children shook their heads in unison."I'm not hungry, Mommy! I'm

It was not until Avery hung that Elliot realized what had happened.He brought the car to a screeching halt and roared, "Get out!"Shea flinched in shock while Zoe was a mess of tears in the backseat.Zoe knew that Elliot was speaking to her, but she did not want to get out of the car until they were in the city."Don't make me use force, Zoe!" Elliot snapped as he glared at her. His eyes were darker than midnight. Zoe turned pale from fright. She immediately opened the door and got out of the car.Once she was out, the car sped off into the night like a bolt of lightning.Twenty minutes later, Elliot arrived at the restaurant.Once he entered the private room, the manager pointed at the presents and said, "They opened up some of the presents, but didn't take any of them with them."A lump formed in Elliot's throat and his eyes reddened as he stared at the unwrapped gifts."They ate some of the fruit and snacks," continued the manager. "You were only a little late. It wasn't

In the living room, Layla buried her head in Mike's embrace and cried, "Elliot Foster didn't show up. We waited for him for so long… We only found out he wasn't coming when Mommy called him… Mommy took us somewhere else to eat instead."Mike hugged Layle tightly as he patted her back and said, "Don't be upset. It's all his fault! Let's never eat with him again!"Streams of tears rolled down Layla's cheeks as she said, "Yeah! I never want to eat with him again! I won't let Mommy eat with him ever again either!""That's right! Don't cry, sweetie. If your Mommy sees how sad you are, her heart will break," said Mike as he silently cursed Elliot!All the other children were having a happy Children's Day, but their sweet babies were sitting at home all depressed."That b*st*rd!" he thought.Elliot might think he had just stood them up once, but he had no idea how much he had hurt the children.Mike wanted to take them out to ease their minds, but both children shook their heads.Afte

After listening to Mike, Elliot turned and left.Once Elliot's car sped off, Mike finally let out a heavy sigh.Shea arrived at Avery's house the next morning accompanied by Mrs. Scarlet.The children were in the middle of breakfast when they saw Shea walk in. They blinked a couple of times, but they did not say anything, and neither did they leave the dining room. Mike flashed a smile at Shea and said, "What brings you here this early?"He thought that it was Elliot who had arrived!"I came to apologize to Avery, Layla, and Hayden," Shea said in a clear, determined voice. "It was wrong of my brother and me to be late last night.""You don't need to apologize, Shea. The one who should be apologizing is your brother," Mike said as he walked over with a glass of milk in his hand."Big Brother will come over to apologize later," Shea said as her cheeks turned pink. "I couldn't wait, so I came here first."Mike chuckled, then said, "This has nothing to do with you. You don't need
