"Elliot, I'm not asking for much," said Nathan. He could see that Elliot was slowly accepting the model of reality that he had submitted. "You make so much money a year. How can you spend it all?! Let me and your brother help you spend some. Don't worry. I know your face is important to you. We can keep the father-son relationship private. As long as you give me enough money every month, I promise not to bother you in the future."Elliot's dangerous eagle eyes stared at the greedy old geezer in front of him.They had not even done a paternity test yet. Before he got hold of the test results, he would never acknowledge this old geezer as his dad."How dare this old b*st*rd ask such things of me?!" Elliot thought."How much is enough money?" his voice was cold. He suppressed the disgust that welled within him.He wanted to see how great of an appetite this old geezer had.Nathan stretched out a finger on one hand and five fingers on the other. "Fifteen million dollars. You earn bil

"Mr. Foster had been drinking, and he is drunk. I tried talking to him but he ignored me. It was like he lost his soul." Mrs. Scarlet was very worried. "I thought the two of you got into a fight again so I called to find out what happened."Avery said, "Oh, he probably went to entertain some clients today and drank too much."That comment reassured Mrs. Scarlet. "As long as the two of you didn't quarrel, all is well. I'll go upstairs to check on him later."Avery said, "I'll call him and speak to him!""Sure thing."Avery hung up and called Elliot.In the master bedroom, Elliot stared at his phone with bloodshot eyes. His mind was blank.He had drunk a bit too much, and while his senses were still there, he might not be able to control them as well as he would like. He was afraid that if he answered the phone now, he would start spouting nonsense. He walked into the bathroom and splashed some water onto his face. His phone continued ringing. It looked like she was not going

"I'm not sure if I’m drunk." He rubbed his aching temple with his slender fingers.How he wished he was drunk! If he were drunk, he would not remember anything that happened tonight the next day. "It looks like you had one too many a glass," said Avery. "Go lie down. I'll get Mrs. Scarlet to make you a bowl of hangover soup. Drink it before going to sleep."He agreed to her request and ended the call. About half an hour later, Mrs. Scarlet came up with a bowl of sour plum soup.Elliot was lying in bed, and he was still wearing the same clothes. His eyes were shut. Only one bedside lamp was turned on in the room, and it was quite dim.Mrs. Scarlet was not sure if he was asleep, so she stood by the door of the room.Then she heard his deep voice, "Come in."He opened his eyes and sat up.Mrs. Scarlet served the sour plum soup. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of dark red blood on his palm."Sir, your hand is bleeding!" Mrs. Scarlet was shocked."I'm fine." He took a sip o

The person in charge immediately invited Elliot to his office."Mr. Foster, what brings you here today?" asked the person in charge gingerly as he poured Elliot a cup of tea."Do you know my fiancé?" Elliot asked.Stunned, the person in charge said, "Who is your fiancé?""Avery Tate," Elliot lowered his voice and said, "You mailed something to her a while back, right? I saw it."The person in charge brightened at the mention of Avery. "You mean Miss Tate! I do know her. She is a brilliant woman, and it is my pleasure to know her. I didn't know that the two of you are engaged! What great news! The wedding...""The wedding is on the first of June. You can come if you are free on that day.""Of course, I will be free!""What business did she come for the last time she was here?" Elliot could not help but ask.Avery had been avoiding his eyes when he had asked her about it, and the way she behaved was somewhat unnatural. Apart from that, she had also brought up the topic of his identity. A

"Well, as long as you don't tell Miss Tate that you've been here, she wouldn't come asking me about it, would she?" the person in charge said gingerly.Elliot could not find an issue with what he said.Meanwhile, Avery and Robert were at Tammy's house. They were there to keep Tammy company, and because it was that time of the month, Tammy was in a rather foul mood. Avery's other reason for visiting Tammy was so she could find out who Elliot's drinking buddy was."Elliot was drunk?" No way! I've never seen him drunk before!" Jun seemed a bit excited upon hearing what Avery had to say. "I know most of Elliot's friends, but I didn't hear that he was hanging out with friends last night!"Tammy was playing with Robert and said, "Avery, it's either that Elliot has lied to you, or Jun is not as close to Elliot as he thinks he is.""Let's go with the second one then!" Jun immediately said. "I'd rather admit that I'm not as close to him as I thought I was than to see you two fight again!"Avery

Avery carried Robert back into Tammy's house after the call with Elliot."Why are you giggling? Everything is fine?" Tammy asked."Yeah. I called him just now. He said that he doesn't remember what happened last night, so I didn't bother asking. I'm about to marry him. If I don't trust him, how are we supposed to spend the rest of our lives together?"Jun sighed a long breath of relief at Avery's words."Avery, I was just talking to Tammy, and I was wondering whether you were planning to take Robert with you when you went to confront Elliot. Tammy said you won't. She told me that you will send Robert home before going to see Elliot." Jun was not sure whether to laugh or cry, as they had both been wrong.Avery chuckled. In the past, she might have gone straight to find Elliot upon catching his lie as Tammy and Jun had predicted."I can be understanding and forgiving to others, but I somehow lose my temper all the time whenever I'm with him." Avery reflected on her actions and said, "Aft

Avery video called Jun at four in the afternoon, and when Jun received her phone call, he immediately realized that something was wrong."What's wrong?" Jun felt uncomfortable being the target of her cold glare, and he felt his back grow damp with sweat. "Did Tammy say something to you? Am I not doing well enough? It shouldn't be! I've been super gentle and patient lately. Elliot told me to give Tammy more time...""Elliot said that to you?" Avery was slightly surprised."Yeah! What exactly did Tammy tell you? How am I supposed to fix it if you won't tell me?" He asked."Why are you keeping the love letter you wrote for a classmate in a box? Not only did you not destroy it, but you even kept that girl's number in your contact list. When exactly are you two planning to start dating again?" Avery asked him all the questions that Tammy dared not ask. "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand, can you give me some hints?" Jun was confused."That box you have with all your

Avery walked up to him. "What did you buy?"She had a clear view of what was in his trunk, and she instantly froze. The trunk was spacious and there was no telling what could be in it. Currently, it was jammed packed with boxes and bags."Elliot, didn't you tell me to go to your place tonight?" She changed the subject and said, "I thought you weren't coming.""You coming over, me coming over, aren't they the same thing?" He took the bags and boxes out of the trunk and said, "I was walking past a street this afternoon and saw some nice things that you and kids might like, so I bought them all."Avery was stunned for a moment, before finally realizing what he had just said. "Are you saying that you spent the entire afternoon buying all these for me and the kids?!""Yes." He continued to move the things he bought out of the trunk.She grabbed onto his arm and said seriously, "Elliot Foster! Are you still drunk from last night?"He leaned toward her.Avery flushed and shoved his handsome-l
