Chapter 1338

Author: Simple Silence
Instantly, Elliot focused his attention on Hayden.

They had rarely spent time together in private, mainly because Hayden did not like him and would avoid Elliot whenever he had the chance.

Because of that, Elliot did not quite know how to face his son. Had it not been for the circumstances, they would not find themselves alone with each other.

"Do you know how dangerous it is to just come here?!" said Elliot, unable to refrain from reprimanding his son.

"Mind your own business!" Hayden said.

"Didn't you think that your mom would challenge Christopher if he had caught you?"

"Christopher wouldn't have been able to capture me even without your help! I wouldn't have come here if my mom hadn't begged me to!"

Elliot arched his eyebrow. "So you are refusing to eat because your mom is not begging you to eat? Should I call her now and get her to beg you?"

Hayden glared at him coldly. "Leave my mom alone!"

"I will, but you will need to listen to me while you are here!" Elliot stared

    "You don't know the answer," laughed Avery. "So you still don't remember me. I'm still glad, though, that your attitude towards me has improved so much even if you don't remember me. If I continue to stay here, you will fall in love with me once again.""Avery, is this the right time to talk about this?""What else should we talk about? About you and Ruby Gould?" Avery was on the verge of a mental breakdown. "She is so obedient to you that I feel like her love for you rivals my love."Are you enjoying this? You are out having fun, and you are able to keep your family at the same time," she said sarcastically. "If this carries on, sometime soon… I will give up."Elliot tightened his fingers around the phone."I will wait until the end of this month, at most. If you insist on remaining in Ylore, I will give up. You won't have to fight for over custody of the children, since your wife is very young. I'm sure she will be willing to bear you a dozen children," she said, giving him her

    Half an hour later, Jed woke Avery up. "You fell asleep in the ultrasound room."Avery felt more energized after sleeping for half an hour and said, "How embarrassing. I couldn't sleep at all back in the hotel. Maybe I feel safe with the scent of sterilizer in the hospital.""Maybe! I like the smell of sterilizer as well," Jed said and led her to the elevator."How are the results?" She extended her hand toward him."The machine was broken, and they can't print the results, but the doctor showed me an image of your uterus," said Jed. His voice was flat. "You are fine, and the hormonal imbalance you are experiencing is probably due to stress.""I told you so! I might not be as young, but I'm still considered rather young," she said confidently, before lowering her voice, "I told Elliot today that I will only wait until the end of this month for him."Jed seemed occupied with something else and hummed carelessly in response."By the way, you don't need to take any medicine for now

    Ruby furrowed her brows and asked, "Why are you not asleep yet? It's almost one. Do you always stay up late?"Then, she walked over to the desk.Hayden hesitated for two seconds, debating on whether he should power off his laptop or not. In the end, he decided not to.Ruby had not even graduated college. After she had married Elliot, she had decided to simply drop out of college and stay home.Also, Ruby majored in philosophy. She did not have the expertise to understand the lines of code on the computer screen. "Who got you to come?" Hayden asked Ruby."I… I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that you were taken away by my brother," said Ruby, lying. "So I came over to check on you.""So, are you hoping that I was taken away by your brother or the other way around?" Hayden asked. "If your brother takes me away, Elliot will become the Goulds' puppet, and he will do whatever you ask of him."Ruby was speechless. She never thought that Hayden would say such a thing."Although

    Hayden did not expect Elliot to say such a thing.He had heard about Elliot losing his memories, so he sat up and asked, "Have you not lost your memories?""I have." Elliot looked at Hayden and said, "I forgot everything that happened between your mother and I, but after I had seen her, I have this feeling in my heart that she is someone really important to me.""Hmph! You're not qualified to be my dad!" Hayden looked at Elliot and released all his anger. "You're a coward who only runs away from problems! You're the most cowardly person I have ever met!"His son was suddenly yelling and berating him. He burned with rage. Impulsiveness led to many mistakes and wrong decisions. In his forest villa, he had nearly strangled Hayden to death, and when he had come to Ylore, he had allowed Gary to persuade him into getting the memory erasure surgery. Those were two incidents of bad impulsive decisions.However, now was not the time to settle old scores."Return to Aryadelle with your m

    "My son says that it will happen soon." Elliot did not know what Hayden's plan was. All he knew was that Hayden was confident of its success. "Latest would be the day after tomorrow. Once Christopher is dead, the Goulds will be in a mess. I want to use that opportunity to send Avery and my son away."Nick sighed. "Your son is barely ten years old, right? Why do you believe him?""Why shouldn't I believe him?""We'll talk about it once Christopher is dead!" Nick sneered. "If Gary had not protected him, he would have been dead a long time ago! By the way, are you planning on returning to Aryadelle with Avery?""I can't leave," Elliot said calmly. "My connections with the Goulds run too deep. Even if I were to return to Aryadelle, Gary would just hunt me down there. I want to put an end to the things we started here."Nick chuckled. "Great! A long overdue reshuffling!"…Avery woke up at seven the next morning. She felt a dull ache in her chest. She missed Hayden. After hesitating

    Christopher stopped just as he was about to take a swig of water. He suddenly grew suspicious. "Darling, why did you bring me water?"His normal self would never have suspected his daughter of anything and would have taken anything she had given him. However, he could not forget the death countdown on his phone! He had to keep vigilant till three in the morning!He needed to know who was trying to take his life! If he was not dead by three that morning, it just meant that the hacker was a lying idiot! Also, if he was not dead by three, it proved that the hacker was Elliot's son— Hayden.Hayden was barely ten years old. "It is amazing that he can hack into my phone at such a young age, but that is all he is capable of! Kill me?! He does not have the skills for that!" thought Christopher smugly. Christopher's daughter blinked her huge eyes. "My teacher told me to serve Mommy and Daddy water. I have to take a video and show it to her."Only then did Christopher notice his wife

    Elliot got up from the sofa. He intended to return to his room to get some rest. Dawn was fast approaching, and he still had not gotten any sleep.In a few hours, he would be speaking to Edward and Ted as Gary's representative. That day was destined to be an unusual day, whether Christopher died or not.Just as his hand landed on the doorknob, he heard Hayden's door swing open. He looked to Hayden's room. Their eyes met. Despite not speaking, they knew what weighed on the other's mind.Hayden had not expected Elliot to stay up. He did not think that Elliot would stay up till three in the morning. It looked like Elliot had trusted his plan to work. Elliot, on the other hand, saw the results of the plan in Hayden's expression."Christopher is dead," Hayden said. Elliot immediately looked at his phone. There were no calls or messages."Are you sure?" he asked. "Are you doubting me?" Hayden said coldly."Did you hire someone to do it?" Elliot no longer felt sleepy. He walke

    Elliot did not say anything.He left her bedroom, called the driver, and told him to head over there and check on the situation.The main road connected Gary's and Christopher's mansions."Check on the situation at Gary's house, too.""Yes, Mr. Foster."The nanny, bodyguard, and driver sided with Ruby, and as Ruby was on Elliot's side, they were on his side too. "If anyone stops you and asks you why you are out this late, tell them that you are getting some supper for Ruby.""Okay!"After talking to the driver, Elliot went downstairs. He did not switch on the lights. He wanted to know how Gray was reacting to the news, and he suspected that Gary was spying on him, too. Christopher's death would surely be a huge blow to Gary. Gary had four children— three sons and one daughter. He had lost two of his three sons, and it was the reason why Ruby had told Elliot that Christopher's death would drive her father mad.Elliot was afraid, but at this point in time, he saw no reason to

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

    Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

    Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

    After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right. Love matters most. Even if we man
