"If the two of you are going to fight, do it outside! Don't be rowdy around my mother!" Hayden helped Avery to the master bedroom.Mrs. Scarlet immediately called a bodyguard to bring Mike away.Elliot had sobered up by the time Mike was shown the door.He stood at the door of the master bedroom and did not dare to go in.Avery sat beside the bed and Hayden was checking if she was injured."I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." Avery was afraid that her son would be worried, so she downplayed the situation. "The two of them quarreled because they drank too much. Don't worry about them.""I could care less about them!" Hayden said angrily. "Let's go home tomorrow, Mommy. I don't want to stay here.""Okay," Avery agreed at once.The punch Elliot aimed toward Mike landed on the left side of Avery's head. Her face was not injured, and any injury—if present—was blocked by her hair at the site of the punch."Did Layla wake up?" she asked worriedly."No. She's still sound asleep," Hay

Elliot could drink as much as he wanted and meet whoever he wanted.Avery just needed to calm down for a moment and figure out her future direction."Let's not be like this, Avery." He frowned unhappily at her remark."Go and shower. If there's anything we need to talk about, we'll do it tomorrow." She did not want to have that conversation, since she was having a headache and he was drunk. He might have been a little sober at that moment, but his mind was almost certainly not lucid.It was not like they could reach a conclusion if they went ahead with the conversation.He sat beside the bed and did not answer her.He wanted to talk to her but eventually decided against it when he saw that she had closed her eyes.He drank too much that night, and his body was still under the influence of alcohol even though his mind was sober.He felt very dizzy.By the time her breathing was even, he lay down beside her.There was still uneasiness in his heart after he lay down, so after a

After she chatted with Tammy, she searched for Chad's chat and sent him a message. [Chad, Mike drank too much tonight. When do you think you'll be able to head home?]Chad replied within seconds. [I'll be back tomorrow morning. He'll usually just sleep if he's drunk, so don't worry about him.][Okay. Happy new year!]Chad looked at her wishes and wanted to reply the same, but for some reason, he could not bring himself to type it out.After a while, he replied: [Are you going to get a divorce? I know that it is not good to say this during the new year, but from what I understand of your character, you won't let yourself be wronged.][I haven't thought about it yet.][Then think about it carefully. And then think some more. If you insist on getting a divorce, you won't be able to get child custody, and your company, well...]Chad was reminding her, not threatening her.[I'll think carefully.][Whatever happens between you and my boss, just remember that we'll always be friends,

"I do. Or at least I do now. But that doesn't mean you won't change in the future," Avery replied. "Don't think so far ahead. We'll talk after today!"She had a terrible headache and it hurt just to speak.Once they went upstairs, he halted his footsteps all of a sudden."Did you meet Shea tonight?" he said, letting go of her arm. "I didn't see her all day today.""Didn't she call you at night?"She thought Shea had called and told him that she would be speaking tonight."No." He answered firmly. "Where's my phone?"The two went back to the room and looked for his cell phone. Alas, it was nowhere to be found, even after some rigorous searching."I'll give it a call." She picked up her cell phone and dialed his number.There was no ringing in the room, which meant that his cell phone was not in there.The two of them then went downstairs.She kept on calling his phone until they finally found it under the sofa.It probably fell to the ground during his fight with Mike earlie

Sandra cleared her throat and asked, "Are you hungry? I cooked some oatmeal and added some fruits. Come and try it.""I'll wait for Wesley." Shea and Sandra walked toward the kitchen together."Then have a boiled egg. Wesley told me last night to get up early today and make breakfast. He said I mustn't let you go hungry." Sandra gave her a boiled egg and then carried out some freshly baked goods from the oven. "I cooked some macaroni as well, so feel free to just eat whatever you feel like having. Don't be shy.""I'm not hungry yet. You should take a seat and rest for a while, Aunt Sandra!" Shea said politely."You're so considerate, Shea. I'm not surprised that Wesley likes you so much." Sandra grew even fonder of Shea with every passing glance. "Did your brother say anything when you didn't go home last night?""No. He knows that Wesley and I have a good relationship, so he's not going to say anything." Shea sat down at the table, tapped the boiled egg on the table, and carefull

The injury did look a little scary at a glance."I applied some ointment last night. It was dark in color, which is why the injury looks a little scary." Avery returned the phone to Elliot. "It's not as painful today as it was yesterday.""It is better to be safe and go to the hospital," Elliot insisted. "It's inconvenient for you to apply the ointment yourself at home.""I don't find it inconvenient." She then offered up another random reason, "My mother said that it's bad luck to start the year with a visit to the hospital."Elliot was speechless and so was the doctor.Avery was a doctor too from what they remembered. It came as a surprise that she would say something so superstitious.A sick person ought to visit the hospital as soon as possible, regardless of the occasion.Nevertheless, Elliot did not question her."Did you bring any medication?" he asked the doctor.The doctor immediately took out the ointment he brought."Could you treat her swelling please," he said.

In the dining hall, Avery felt a little unaccustomed to eating breakfast alone."Did Adrian go out for some new year's visits too?"Mrs. Scarlet answered, "Shea and Wesley came to pick him up in the morning.""Shea and Wesley were here?""Yeah. The two of them are going to go skiing today, so they asked Adrian to join them." Mrs. Scarlet said pitifully. "Adrian would've been alone otherwise, and it's kinda sad if you think about it.""He can join Hayden and the kids."Mrs. Scarlet: "Do you know where they went to celebrate the new year today?""Where?" Avery asked in surprise."Mike's place." The smile on Mrs. Scarlet's face was unable to hide the sadness in her expression. "Master Elliot doesn't have any relatives, and you don't have much contact with yours either, right?"Mrs. Scarlet's words stunned Avery."Adrian has a brother, but unfortunately his eldest brother is a terrible person." The smile on Mrs. Scarlet's face disappeared completely. "But at least they more aware

"I'll let you step in if there are any issues with them in the future that we can't avoid." Elliot thought about it all night and finally made up his mind.Being affectionate toward Ruby and her baby would be an injustice to Avery and the three kids.Avery did not make a fuss out of it because her children did not know about it and he still had time to remedy the situation.If the situation escalated beyond control, Hayden and Layla would hate him to death.His greatest fear, however, was not that the child hated him—he feared losing Avery.Elliot had suffered so much that he lost sleep when all Avery did was give him the cold shoulder for one day. He could not even imagine how he could continue to live in the future if she disappeared from his world.His answer gave her a heavy sigh of relief.She would not have gotten angry at him on New Year's Eve if he had done that in the first place, and she would not continue to lose her temper with him if he gave her the same answer a da
