Avery opened it and saw that it contained a beautiful red dress.It was the reception dress.Mrs. Cooper smiled and said, "I thought it was the wedding dress!""The wedding dress won't be done so quickly." Avery took out the dress and placed it against her body. "I'll give it a try.""You should. There's still time to make modifications if it doesn't fit," Mrs. Cooper said. "Don't you think time passes really quickly? You'll be married in two weeks."Avery smiled and said, "I feel like time actually slowed down! I was hoping to marry him sooner.""Hahaha! Your relationship with him has improved a lot since he moved in.""Yeah. That just goes to show how important it is to communicate." Avery took the dress and walked toward the room.It had probably been too painful for them on Memorial Day, which was why they cherished each other even more from that day onward.At ten in the morning, a car parked in front of Elliot's mansion.The person who got out of it was Henry.The body

That question came as a shock to Henry!He had ignored a very important question.If that Elliot was fake, then where was the real Elliot?!As long as they could find the real Elliot, it would be easy for them to deal with the fake one!"We can spend a bit of money to find out more about that man," Cole said. "There are plenty of servants in Elliot's home and we just need to bribe one of them.""I'll leave that to you. I'm going to meet Nathan.""Why do you even need to meet him again?""It'll be good for us if he's on our side," Henry said. "Elliot is too powerful. We'd have a better chance of winning if we have another person helping us.""Why would he join us if he's Elliot's biological father?""Did you forget that I asked someone to beat him up a few days ago? I had them say it was done under Elliot's orders, so he probably hates Elliot to death right now." Henry smiled. "Elliot is busy preparing for the wedding, and this is our last chance to turn things to our favor."

That evening at Central University, Avery came to pick up Hayden from school.He had an important test earlier in the morning, and she hoped that he would not make that big a fuss over his result and accept it calmly regardless of whether he got first place."How did you do in the test, Hayden?" Daniel and Hayden came out of the classroom together.Aside from being best buddies, they were also the top scorers in the class.Hayden was very satisfied with his efforts but answered in a rather modest manner, "Let's wait and see the score tomorrow!""Okay! I think I did well." Daniel cocked an eyebrow. "I know you want to go too, so if you ask nicely, I might consider giving my spot to you. But my dad might not agree though.""I'll rely on my abilities to get the spot. I don't need you to give it to me.""But you're not as good as I am! We might be good friends, but that's the harsh truth. I got first when I took the final exam, remember?"Hayden corrected him, "I just scored a littl

Elliot's expression became slightly gloomy when he heard that. "Why did Henry meet with him?""Henry knows about your relationship with Nathan."Although he knew that it was not something he could hide for long, he did not expect Henry to find out that quickly. He had no idea what Henry would do next.Henry knew everything about him, and things were going to get ugly if Henry were to have a severe falling out with him.After he hung up, he saw Avery's call and immediately called back."Are you coming back for dinner tonight, Elliot?" Avery asked in a gentle voice."Yeah. I'm already on the journey home, but there's a bit of a traffic jam here. Did you pick up the kids?""Yeah." Avery glanced at Hayden and smiled, "Get a cake on your way home! Hayden did well in the test today, so let's celebrate in advance.""Sure thing. What flavor?""Chocolate, but don't buy one that's too big."After the phone call, Avery looked at Hayden again. "I asked your father to buy a cake."Hayden

"HAYDEN! BE CAREFUL!"Avery ran as fast as she could toward him.Hayden stopped as soon as he saw the speeding truck, and the sound of screeching tires was heard as the truck braked abruptly at a distance of less than half a meter away from Hayden.Avery was so frightened that she burst into tears and ran over to hug him.After hugging him, she wasted not a single second and carried him from the middle of the road to the sidewalk."Let's go home, okay?" Avery held his cold little hand tightly. "I know you've been unfairly accused because you got first place with your own efforts without having anything to do with your father.""I don't want a father like him!" Hayden frowned and shook Avery's hand away. "I'm not going to go back home!"In Hayden's eyes, Starry River Villa was the home of his mother and Elliot. He could not ask his mother to break up with Elliot, so he did not want to go back to that house again!"Where do you want to go if you're not going home? Tell me. I'll g

"What a drag! They share the same violent temper, and I think you're the one who has to suffer the most because you're sandwiched in between them." Mike patted her on the shoulder. "Would you like to go to Elliot?"Avery shook her head. "Even if he's angry, he won't lock himself up like Hayden did. I'll think about that after we coax Hayden.""You're right. Well, you go and take a break. I'll get the spare key to go in later."When Elliot returned to the mansion, he saw Adrian pruning the branches in the yard with a pair of pruning shears.Meanwhile, Mrs. Scarlet was watering the flowers and plants.It was a very homely and peaceful scene.When Mrs. Scarlet saw Elliot coming back, she immediately took Adrian to Elliot.Mrs. Scarlet gave Adrian a wink, and Adrian immediately said obediently, "Hi, Big Brother."Mrs. Scarlet was afraid that Elliot would get angry, so she immediately said, "Master Elliot, Henry came looking for you a few days ago. He said he couldn't get to you thr

Elliot did not ask 'who do you want' but instead, "What if I don't?"Henry laughed awkwardly. "I wonder how Mom would feel if she was still alive and saw us turn against each other.""Don't put pressure on me using Mom's name!" Elliot scolded. "You and your son killed her. You have no right to bring that up!""I have no right, you say? Where do you think my right came from?" Henry was breathing noticeably heavily. "At least I'm her biological son! What about you, Elliot? How long do you think you can keep up this lie? You've already taken over my brother's life. Are you honestly going to imprison him illegally for the rest of your life?!""Imprison him?" Elliot was stunned by those two words. "And you're saying that I took over his life? Do you think Mom's hands are clean? She was the one who created this in the first place!""Even though she switched Adrian with you, I can't continue perpetuating her mistakes. More so now that she's dead. Hand Adrian over to me! He's my brother,

"I know you didn't mean it. But Hayden had a severe falling out with his father because of what you said. You should always think about the consequences of your words before you say anything next time."Avery breathed a heavy sigh of relief after coming out of the school.Daniel promised to apologize to Hayden the next time they met.It was a positive result.After Avery got in the car, she took out her cell phone and dialed Elliot's number.He answered at once."You don't need to fret too much over Hayden. I've already explained it to his classmates. I'll send Hayden to school tomorrow, and Daniel will apologize to him." Avery remembered Elliot's lonely figure when he left that morning and felt especially heartbroken.He invested money into Hayden's school behind the scenes and hired foreign teachers on a high salary. Those actions were all out of love for Hayden.Hayden might not have understood it then, but when he becomes a father in the future, he might be able to finally
