"You two seem to be really afraid of me, aren't you?" she teased as she picked up the menu to order."This is your territory, after all," Cole said, "What do you want? Just spill already! Elliot is at your place right now, right?"Cole feared Avery, but the one he feared above all was Elliot.Avery ordered a donut and a glass of milk, before turning her attention back to them— more precisely, to Henry."Henry, Adrian is your biological brother, but do you remember that you have another sister?" she asked calmly.If it was possible, she wished to resolve the issue peacefully. After all, not only was Shea important to Elliot and Avery, but she was also Henry's biological sister.Henry remained thoughtful for a few moments and said, "You are talking about Shea, right? Of course, I haven't forgotten about her, but she wasn't that close to me. Why are you bringing her up? Didn't she die trying to save your son? Mentioning her would only deepen my resentment towards you and Elliot.""What go

"It's no wonder you were looking for Adrian yesterday! So you are trying to get him to donate his kidney, after all!" Cole realized Avery's plan and said, "You asked me and my dad to give our kidneys on purpose so that we would panic, and only after you see us panicking would you mention Adrian… I have to say, Avery, you sure are smart!""Cole, don't try to undermine me with your crooked view of the world. Under normal circumstances, you are the one who's supposed to take the initiative and donate your kidney, but I know that you are too much of a coward to do so.""Speak properly! Why are you calling me a coward? Shea is my aunt, but what exactly has she done for me all these years? She hasn't even spoken to me once, and now you are asking me to donate my kidney to her? I would have to be crazy to do that!" Cole shouted furiously.Henry tapped him on the arm, signaling him to calm down."Avery, Shea is my sister and I wish for nothing but her speedy recovery, but I am too old to give

She stepped out of the dining room, and Mrs. Cooper followed her closely."Hey, where is Robert?"Mrs. Cooper noticed that Robert was missing from the living room and instantly started panicking."Don't panic. He hasn't learned to walk yet, so he's definitely in this house," said Avery reassuringly as she strode outside.Although Robert could not walk, he was great at crawling. "Could he have crawled outside?" thought Avery. The door to the yard was shut so the little one could not get out.When Avery walked out of the mansion to search the yard, Mrs. Cooper called out, "Avery! Robert is in the master bedroom!"Avery sighed a breath of relief and hurried back inside.Robert had a lot of strollers that helped him learn to walk, and he had pushed his little stroller past the open door of the master bedroom. When Elliot saw his son coming in, he immediately picked him up and played with him."Look at you, all covered in sweat. You've overestimated your son." Elliot wiped the sweat off A

[No way.] Elliot rejected Ben's suggestion once again.[Then what about giving her a bit more allowance each month? With the money she is getting right now, it will take forever to save up enough to purchase a house!][If you pity her, you are welcome to buy her a place, and increase her allowance using your own money.][...]"Elliot, who are you texting?" Avery asked when she noticed that Elliot was not eating."Ben." He set his phone down and picked up the glass to take a sip of milk. "Lilith White is staying with him right now, so he would send me updates about her from time to time,"Lilith White? Your sister?" Avery remained thoughtful for a few moments. "It's not that appropriate for her to stay at Ben's place long term, is it? Should we find her a place?""Avery, if money comes too easily, one simply wouldn't learn to treasure it," Elliot deadpanned. "Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own lives without depending on others."Avery nodded. "You are right. She has jus

Shea could not wait any longer. Her illness was progressing— rapidly. If they failed to find a matching kidney and Shea's condition continued to worsen, Avery could not imagine how horrifying the consequences would be, which was why she had to find Adrian, no matter the cost.If Henry and Cole did not want to play nice, then there was no need for her to worry over morals. "Is Adrian using a phone?""Yes. I will send you his number later.""Sure. Judging from the look on your face, this is serious!" Mike exclaimed. "It's a wonder that you manage to keep this from Elliot. What a great actress you are!""Stop being sarcastic. It's not like you don't know Elliot's temper. His injuries from when he fought Nathan still haven't healed yet.""You are just afraid of seeing him feature in the headlines again!" Mike could not help but grin. "Chad said he had never felt so embarrassed before.""Yeah. Telling him won't help with the situation, so I might as well figure it out myself." She picked u

Her mind was eased that he had finally found peace.They stepped out of the yard and soon ran into two women along the road.One of the women saw Avery and greeted her enthusiastically, "Avery, are you back from your holiday?""Yeah! Are you on a walk?""Yeah! Your baby is so big now! How adorable!" The woman complimented Robert, before turning her attention to Elliot. "Avery, is this your husband?"Avery glanced at Elliot and hummed in response."Your husband is quite handsome, but what's with his face? Is it jaundice?" The woman looked worried, and she even reached out to try and touch Elliot's face.Elliot immediately took out his mask and wore it."No. He got injured, but he's almost recovered." Avery noticed that Elliot was feeling uncomfortable and said hastily, "Auntie, we will go take our walk now.""Sure! Bye!"After the two women left, Elliot muttered in confusion, "Are you close to them?""No!" Avery said. "We've just seen one another a few times! It's a community, so we are

Mike had not thought of how dangerous it would be, and instantly started to panic at her words."You don't have to worry too much, though. Henry is old, and Cole is too frail to be your match. You wouldn't be at a disadvantage if it ends in a fist fight," she said."Thank you for believing in me, but I think I'm not that much better than Cole!" Mike sighed."Don't worry, my bodyguard will protect you." Avery glanced at the time. "You should go now!""I thought you were going to mention to Layla that I've moved out?" Mike had just eaten and wanted to rest."Why didn't you mention it during dinner, then?" She lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell her later. You are still coming over tomorrow night, right?"With that said, she went to find her bodyguard.Once they exited the room, Avery exited the house and walked around the community in search of Elliot and her children. "Mom! The gardenias are blooming! They smell so nice!" Layla spotted Avery and picked a gardenia, before handing it to her.A

Layla could not be more convinced."Other than my bedroom, you have full control over all other rooms, okay?" said Elliot, continuing to lay out his bait. Layla nodded frantically."You weren't this easy-going when you were pursuing me," Avery said sarcastically."My entire person is yours. Why bother with a house?" he said sincerely, and Avery immediately blushed.Disgusted, Layla pushed Robert's stroller and walked away from them.Meanwhile, during a certain gathering, Ben was already starting to feel tipsy after clinking glasses with a few other people."Mr. Schaffer, it's no fun to drink with just men! I've called over a few women... There's someone new tonight," said a chubby man with a flattering smile. Ben immediately sobered and said, "It's fine! I should go home after this drink!""There's no rush, Mr. Schaffer. They are almost here! Just take one look! I saw the photos, and the young girls this time are pretty!""I don't like them too young!""Then I can find you someone mo
