This little baby really looked like Layla!However, this baby was the child of Elliot and Ruby!'Bang'!When Elliot heard the movement, he immediately looked toward the source of the sound.The movement came from Hayden.He strode towards Hayden.Hayden handed him his mobile phone immediately after he came over.He took the phone but looked in confusion at Hayden's cold and hostile eyes."What's wrong?" He asked Hayden, "I heard something fall to the ground just now. Did you drop your phone?""It's your phone." Hayden replied, "I threw it."Hayden was angry, so he threw the phone on the ground.After throwing it on the ground, he thought his mother might get angry with him, so he picked it up.Elliot glanced at the phone in his hand.Due to the presence of the phone case, the phone was intact.Hayden wouldn't throw his phone on the floor for no reason, so he turned it on and saw a photo.The baby in the photo looked a little familiar.This was a colored ultrasound photo

It was not until Avery asked that Layla realized that her brother wore a dark expression. "Hayden, why are you upset? If you don't like taking photos, I won't make you do it next time," Layla said while holding onto his arm.Hayden did not want to upset Avery by mentioning Ruby as Elliot had already said that he would block Ruby's contact."The photo shoot is a bit tiring," said he, casually making up an excuse. "Even more boring than shopping."He did not like shopping, but when compared to doing a photo shoot, he preferred shopping. At least shopping meant that he could get some fresh air, whereas the photo shoot required them to remain inside the studio the entire time."You guys didn't have your naps this afternoon, so I suppose it must be a bit tiring. Next time, let's do it when the weather is nice so that we can go outside for the photoshoot. That way, it won't be as boring," Avery promised with a smile. "I thought that your dad upset you somehow! I saw you two talking to

"Let's take our time. It's not New Year's just yet!""Sure. Are you going to the company's New Year's dinner?" Avery asked. "My vice president told me that the employees would like to see you during the dinner since you are one of our biggest shareholders.""I'll go if you want me to, otherwise I will just stay home." Elliot did not like crowds and was not particularly interested in the New Year's dinners for either his or Avery's company."That's pretty much like saying you don't want to go! I'll just take the kids with me, then."He immediately changed his response once he saw her reaction, "Take me too if you are taking the kids to dinner!""Sure. We'll see how it goes in a few days! I haven't even mentioned it to the kids!" Avery rubbed at her stomach and said, "I still prefer summer. The sky won't turn dark this early during summer! It's not just cold during winter, but the days just seem so much shorter, and the days just fly by me so quickly.""Every day of the year flies

"It wasn't me. It's my wife." Elliot gave him Avery's account number. "This is the account, and she forgot the password. There are a lot of photos in it so please check with your technician to see if you can recover the account and the photos in it.""Alright. I am a technician myself so I will have a look right away. If I don't get back to you before midnight, don't wait up.""Thank you.""It's alright. It's our honor that your wife chose to use our platform."Once he hung up, Elliot opened the photo album on his phone to look at the ultrasound Ruby had sent him earlier. He zoomed into the face of the baby, and it indeed resembled Layla in certain ways.He could not help but head into the bathroom to turn the lights on, before looking in the mirror to stare at his reflection.Layla looked like Avery, so why would his child with Ruby look like Layla?After staring into the mirror for a while, he opened his album again to look for Layla's photos.Layla's features had become more

He opened a certain application for financial news to pass the time when suddenly, the look in his eyes darkened at the sight of a familiar name— Wonder Technologies.The news claimed that they had received a tip that suggested that Wonder Technologies would extend its market into Bridgedale soon.There was not much information on the news but if it was true, then Wanda was planning an enormous move. Both Wanda and the ones backing her were ambitious.It was hardly possible for an enterprise to move its operation from Aryadelle to Brigedale unless there was incredibly tempting capital involved.Elliot simply did not understand what prompted Wanda to do so. Did she believe that she would be able to pass the examination for being listed in a foreign country, or had she found someone powerful enough to support her, and she felt like she could ignore Elliot?Elliot did not know if the news was true, but he had to find out. So, he screenshotted the news and sent it to Ben.Ben immedia

There were over three hundred photos, including ones when Avery was pregnant and the photos of the children when they were born.Elliot had never seen any of these photos, so he started with the earliest photo of Avery and Laura when they were in the waiting area in a hospital. In the photo, Avery had one hand on her pregnant belly as she smiled gently, while Laura, too, was smiling endearingly.Tears welled up in Elliot's eyes.Whenever he tried to imagine the time when Avery was pregnant with Layla and Hayden, guilt would overwhelm him at the realization that he had failed to care for them. Having twins was much more difficult than having a single baby. Avery was not financially stable and had to keep up with her studies at the time, so he could not begin to imagine how hard she had struggled.He continued to explore and saw photos of the scenery in her school, and photos she had taken with her classmates and with Professor Hough. He scrolled to the left when suddenly a black and

Late at night, he sent her her account password.She immediately turned her head to look at his handsome face.He had stayed up late last night, which might be why he slept so deeply now.She leaned down and put a soft kiss on his face.Not long after he fell asleep, he opened his eyes abruptly after being kissed by her."Did you not sleep last night? Your eyes look bloodshot... It's okay if you can't recover the account; it's not a big deal." She thought he did not sleep well because of her account. "If I really wanted to recover my account, I could tell Mike to help me, but I don't want to go through those photos. That's because there are photos of my mom and professor James and many friends who are now distant from me."If she did not remind herself to look forward in her life, it was easy to get caught up in memories."I saw the photos of your pregnancy last night, and I felt guilty after seeing it," he said in a hoarse voice. Feeling that the topic was a bit heavy, he chang

In the evening, the doorbell rang.Ben thought Lilith had come back, so he strode to open the door.A man was standing outside the door!Ben was stunned for a moment, and the man outside the door was also stunned.The two of them had met before, so they were no strangers."What are you doing here?" the two asked in unison."Why can't I be here? This is Hayden's house." Ben stood at the door, refusing to let Peter in.Lilith had told him that her relationship with Peter was not very good and that Peter would not come to her unless he needed money. Since Peter is now at Lilith's door, did that mean he was running out of money?Ben hated parasites like him! Lilith's current salary could only support her basic living, and there was no extra money for Peter.Ben could not tolerate Peter asking Lilith for money."Hehe, I don't care whose house this is. I only know that my sister lives here! Where's she?" Peter was a little angry with Ben for being so rude to him."Why are you lo
