"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

"You're right. But she has her reasons for doing so. Elliot stood out from his peers, showing intelligence and a level of maturity that was far above that of other people, even in kindergarten. He was Madam Rosalie's pride, and Eason was very proud of him too. The atmosphere at home was also much better than before. Do you think he'll be able to accept the truth behind his background? I think not. Madam Rosalie is worried that the peace she strived so hard to get would disappear forever," Mrs. Scarlet explained. "I understand how she feels."Avery understood too.It was cruel to separate Elliot from his child at Ylore, but she did that nonetheless.What right did she have to say that Rosalie was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman?Later that evening, Mrs. Cooper and the three children returned.Hayden and Layla brought Avery a lot of delicious snacks and sweets."Chad brought these special treats from his hometown," Mrs. Cooper said. "He cooked lunch and dinner today, and I must a

The last thing Avery wanted was to see Ruby, much less watch their child be born into the world and then coming over to search for Elliot.If the child did come looking for them in the future, she might not be able to bring herself to turn the girl away heartlessly.However, she would never let Elliot see the child. That was the extent of her kindness as far as the present scenario was concerned."We're putting a pause on this issue. You'd better do as you said in the future." She put an end to it. "I don't think you'd be as generous as I am now if you were in my shoes, Elliot.""I know that. Avery, thank you." He looked at her gratefully, "I won't let myself be confused again in the future.""Okay. Time to get up. Let's go down together," she planned to keep him company and eat a little more.She had no appetite when she ate alone, but now that she had resolved the conflict with him, she started to feel a little hungry.After he got up, he walked to the bathroom and washed hi

"Didn't you say you would eat with me?""I'll play with the kids for a while." Avery's heart melted when she looked at her daughter's tearful eyes.Elliot nodded and went to the dining room.After he walked away, Hayden said in a sullen voice, "Why did you lie, Mommy? Elliot was the one who hurt you.""He didn't do it on purpose," Avery explained. "He'll be sad if we tell it to his face.""Let him learn his lesson!" Hayden raised his voice on purpose so Elliot could hear it clearly from the dining room.Layla pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and said in a crying voice, "Daddy is such a careless klutz! You should punch a boo-boo on his head too."Avery sighed. "Your uncle Mike already punched him, and your father now has a boo-boo on his head too."Layla stopped crying immediately. "That's more like it.""You should eat if you're hungry, Mommy!" Hayden said."Sure... Although, how did you know it was your father who did it?" Avery did not remember telling them about her in
