At five minutes past midnight, Elliot landed at the airport in Bridgedale. Mike was at the airport to pick him up. It was not Avery that told him to pick Elliot up, but Chad called him to make sure he picked Elliot up at the airport.As for where to send Elliot to after picking him up, Chad said that he was to send Elliot back to Avery's house, to let Avery arrange the next part, so after Mike picked Elliot up, he sent him back home.At that moment, the bodyguard, servants, and the children have gone to bed. However, Avery was waiting in the living area.When Mike saw her, he yawned. "I've picked him up, I don't think there is anything I need to do anymore, right?"Avery ignored him.Elliot was looking at Avery closely. There was no one else in his view. Mike felt as if he was nothing at that moment. He felt awkward and aggrieved at the same time. He said, "So, I'll go back to my room?"Still, no one responded to him. He slipped back to his room and planned to complain about
Avery's room was filled with children's daily amenities. It was obvious that she cared for her children. If she had planned to let him stay in her room, she would have cleared it up.Avery hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to be honest with him. "This house isn't that big. Now that there is another baby around, so I hired a nanny. Although the security here is not bad, for the sake of safety, I hired a bodyguard. They take turns staying over daily…"Avery explained so much when she was only trying to say one thing."If there isn't any extra room, I can go to a hotel." Elliot did not want to trouble Avery."It's not that there isn't any extra room…" Avery lowered her gaze and said softly.If it was not that late at night, she would most likely get him to stay at the hotel already. He came over this time without a bodyguard. It was already so late at night. What would happen if something were to happen to him if he went out alone?Elliot was confused at Avery's answer. If
Although they did not have any obvious conflicts at the moment, in the past, they could take any single matter and fight for three days non-stop! However, after seeing Elliot, Avery calmed down. He was not there to fight with her. Perhaps the children were there, so they were not like before, losing their temper at any moment.In the nanny's room, Elliot finished his shower and walked to the bed to sit.He picked up his phone and saw a message from Chad. It was a message regarding the hotel.[Mr. Foster, I've booked you into a hotel closest to Avery's house. The hotel provides transportation too. It takes less than 10 minutes to and fro. It won't take up much of your time with the kids.]Chad could not accept that Elliot would be treated this way!It was fine if Avery did not love him, but could she not torture him?Elliot replied, [I'm staying at her place. Cancel the booking.][Didn't she put you in the nanny's room? Why doesn't she let the nanny stay there? It must be small
Elliot let out a muffled harrumph. Avery did not know whether it was in response to her, or he was in pain.There was some shuffling coming from the door.Elliot looked over to see Mrs. Cooper carrying Robert while Mike carried Layla. Four of them stood outside the door, peeking into the room to check out the situation.They could actually just enter the room to have a look. Eliot did not know why they had to stand outside the door.Although it was a little embarrassing that there was a huge bump on his head, it was not that awkward that he did not dare to see anyone.Avery dressed for his bruise and kept her medical suitcase."Go have breakfast. After breakfast, I'll take you to the hospital," Avery said."I'll head there myself.""Are you familiar with the hospital here?" Avery retorted, "I know people. We can go straight to do the scan. If not, if you wait for the hospital's procedure, you might not be able to do it today."Elliot was speechless.Although he was rich, he w
Avery heard Elliot's tone. It did not sit well with her."Elliot, do all men think like you? Why would Tammy want a divorce, don't you know why? If Tammy doesn't love him, she doesn't have to worry about him being pressured by his parents…""Avery, if Jun insists on being together with Tammy, no matter who pressures him, this is something that he has thought about and feels that he could bear it. Now, whether it's Jun changing numbers or him getting married, it's his freedom."…The two of them did not argue over their own matter, but they fought because of Jun and Tammy.However, Avery soon calmed down quickly. She gave Elliot's words serious thought. After some thinking, she thought that what Elliot said made sense too."Why does everyone like to think from their own standpoint and do things that they think are good for the other party when it's actually not?" Avery lamented."Because they think that they are right," Elliot replied. "This not only applies to Jun and Tammy but
"Elliot," Avery called him when she saw his darkened expressions. She immediately said, "It's the New Year. You don't have to argue just on small matters."He slightly calmed down upon hearing what she said.Eric said, "I have been giving Avery gifts every festivity, other than giving her a ring, I have given her every other type of jewelry. You usually don't care for her, now I'm just doing what I usually do, what right do you have to get angry?"Avery's impression of Eric was always a gentle one. At that moment, when he was questioning Elliot, she felt it rather strange.Of course, she did not get angry at Eric because of what he said. Eric was targeting Elliot because of her."So what?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. He said condescendingly, "Are you together with her already? If not, shut up."Eric was speechless because of this.It made Avery angry too."Elliot…""Are you going to drive or not? If not, I'll drive," Elliot interrupted her.He knew that Avery was going to sta
Elliot grabbed Avery's wrist and pulled her along into the mall without saying a word.Avery instantly understood his meaning."Elliot, I don’t want you to buy me gifts! I only want to go home right now!" Avery tried to break free from his clutch, but he held her tightly."Why did you not refuse Eric's gift?" Elliot retorted, "There is no reason for you to accept his gift but not mine."Avery thought that she had misheard him. How could he possibly say such childish things?When Eric saw Elliot forcing Avery along, he immediately pushed open the car door and ran over."Why are you following us?" Elliot looked at Eric in detest. "You're a big star, aren't afraid that others would recognize you? Don't you drag Avery and me down, lest the paparazzi take photos of us!"Eric retreated to the car because of what Elliot said. Eric was not worried about the paparazzi, but he knew that Avery did not like her photos being taken.After Eric returned to the car, Avery glanced at Elliot. "T
When they came out of the mall, Eric saw how they were standing closer to each other and seemed more relaxed. They looked like any other couple in the streets. When they entered the mall, they were still tugging around as if they were fighting. What made them reconcile so quickly was definitely not the gifts in the mall. If Elliot could resolve their conflict by giving Avery gifts, they would not fight all the time.It looked like Elliot gave in to Avery.When they returned to the mansion, Avery kept her gifts in her room. She never thought that Mrs. Cooper had already moved Elliot's things over."Didn't you say you were hungry? Go have some food first!" Elliot said."Hmm, I'll go pack up a little. Take my room tonight. I'll go to the small room.""If that's the case, I'll take the small room." Elliot did not want to take up her space. "This morning was an accident. I'll be careful in the future.""Are you threatening me?" Avery looked at the bruise on his forehead. "Are you
