"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

Ben stared at her. "I don't know. I have never seen a fall in wrestling like this," Lilith sighed.Ben walked to the sofa and sat down. The medical bag on the coffee table was open. Iodophor, cotton swabs, and anti-inflammatory drugs were placed on the table."Who beat you?" Lilith sat beside him so that she could taunt him at close range. "I didn't expect you to have an enemy in Bridgedale.""Yeah! I didn't expect that I would have an enemy in Bridgedale either. And by coincidence, the enemy's surname is White." Ben packed the medicine into his bag.He had gotten into a fight with Peter.Peter would not have been able to leave as easily as he had if Ben had been ten years younger. Then again, if he were younger, he would never have been injured."What do you mean I didn't beat you up? What does it have to do with me?" Lilith frowned, puzzled."It's nothing to do with you. It's about your elder brother. Didn't he call you?""No! My elder brother has been here? He beat you up?

Lilith opened her eyes wide. The light in her eyes scattered as if her soul had gone out of her body."Ten million, ten million, ten million!"She read it three times in her mind before realizing how much money it was.Ben saw her startled expression. Afraid that she would not believe it, he found the transfer record to Peter."Lilith, I'm not as stingy as you think. You keep saying that I dislike you, but I don't dislike you. Even if the two of us have never slept together...""Don't say that!" Lilith said. "Why are you giving my brother so much money? "She had planned to work hard to make money and return the one million.However now, one million had become ten million! The debt had increased considerably, and she did not know how she was going to repay such a large debt in such a short time. Ben took a deep breath. "This money is indeed not a small amount, but if it is an engagement gift for a future wife, it is not that high. You were pregnant with my child at the time. H

He felt that he was like a dog, eager to please Lilith.However, he was not angry.Instead, he felt the entire situation was interesting.Lilith's jaw dropped in shock at his remarks.Did he not understand the meaning of being a dog, or was he too thick to understand?"By the way, I didn't come here specifically to find you. If you have training tomorrow, you can go to your training and leave me alone." Ben felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he talked about something else. "Elliot sent me here.""What did Elliot ask you to do?""Some business," he said. "Can I stay here for a few days? I see Hayden's room is empty—""Don't sleep in his room. He might return in the future." Lilith got up from the sofa and took him to another room. "You can sleep in this room."Ben glanced at the room. "It's tiny.""If you dislike it, then go to a hotel. You are rich; you could just book a presidential suite," Lilith said sarcastically. "I didn't ask you to stay here.""You misu
