Chapter 1637
"Wesley, what happened? How did Shea get pregnant?" Avery stood before Elliot and asked."Avery, it's me... I did it on purpose." Shea's eyes were red from all the crying and she stuttered, "I wanted a child... When I see your children, it just fills me with envy... so I..."Shea ran out of breath and choked on her voice.Wesley smoothed his hand down her back and continued the explanation, "I don't know where she learned this from but she poked a hole in the condom."Avery fell into silence at how bold Shea was. Shea knew that her body was unfit to bear children. Both Avery had given her a stern talk about this. She had agreed, but now, she had gone and done something like this."Where did you learn something like that?" Elliot clenched his fists and roared furiously, "Did you learn it from someone?!""No... No one taught me that... I saw it on my phone..." Shea held onto Wesley's arm as she looked timidly at Elliot. "I'm sorry, Big Brother... I didn't listen to you... but I rea

"Without regret... Good for you! You will die without regret, but what about me?!" The expression on Elliot's face only grew fiercer.Avery knew that she should be helping Shea, but she could not say a thing. Shea was only taking her own feelings into consideration and had completely neglected Elliot's feelings. He had worked so hard to protect her up till now and watching her kill herself would feel just as painful as getting stabbed in the heart."Big Brother, I think I can give birth. Look at me! I'm fine. I'm just like anyone else." Shea wanted to gamble. What she did not have the courage to confess was that she was not gambling because of how much she wanted a child, but rather because, Wesley's mother had asked for her to give birth to Wesley's child, and Shea had agreed to it. She had to fulfill her promise to others or her conscience would not allow her to rest."How are you just like anyone else? You are far from that!" Elliot never had the heart to be too harsh with her, b

"My mom told you to get pregnant! It was my mom who told you to poke a hole in the condom! My mom made you do this..." Wesley's expression darkened, and he turned to walk toward the door.He needed to find his mother. If it was indeed his mother who had pressured Shea into getting pregnant, he would risk alienating his family if it meant stopping Shea from making a mistake. "Wesley!" Shea hurried toward him and stood in his path. "Don't go to your mom... She has nothing to do with this. I want to have your baby... I want to repay—""I don't need repayment!" Wesley finally lost his temper. "If you married me to repay me, we are going to get a divorce right now!""No... I don't want a divorce..." Shea threw herself at him and wailed. "Wesley, you have your wishes and dreams, and so do I! My dream is to give you a baby, and if I can't fulfill it, I will regret it for the rest of my life..."Avery and Elliot exited the Brooks' mansion and got into the car.Avery stared at Elliot's f

"Ivy, look! It's Daddy!" Ruby carried Ivy out of the crib and turned the camera so that it faced her and Ivy. "Ivy, remember what your Daddy looks like! Daddy is a really brilliant man..."Elliot did not hear a word she said and focused on the child in her arms.Ivy was too young to know anything at all, but it was precisely her innocent face that broke the defenses he had put around his heart.He had never seen Layla as a baby, but he could distinctly see the resemblance Ivy had with Layla."Elliot, our daughter is a wonderful child. She came down with pneumonia when she was born because she was weak. For about a week, the doctors wouldn't even let me visit her, but they told me that she was wonderful and that she rarely cries, so she had a speedy recovery."Ruby sobbed. "She's really great... Elliot, I know that you can't come to see her, but can you video call me from time to time so that Ivy gets to see you?""No," Elliot rejected her request without a moment of hesitation.

Elliot had not hung up, which confirmed the fact that he cared deeply for Ivy. No one could ever sever the bond between families."Elliot, I didn't do that on purpose. I won't lose control like that again. I will take good care of Ivy and raise her well," Ruby promised."It's late. Get her to sleep!" Elliot said and hung up.He held onto his phone tightly as he was overwhelmed by his emotions.He had seen what Ivy looked like in her photos, but it was not as shocking as seeing her in the video. Her every move caught his attention, and it tugged at his heart. Had his senses not stopped him earlier, he would have traveled to Ylore to hold Ivy the moment she had burst out crying.Someone knocked on the door and he sobered.Chad pushed the door open and placed a cup of coffee on his desk. "Are you okay, Mr. Foster?"There had been a meeting earlier, and Elliot had left after answering the call. Had it not been something urgent, Elliot would not have left without saying a word."She

Elliot was impressed by his imagination. "What's in that brain of yours? Does Ben seem that desperate to you?"Chad scratched his head. "I've never met Ruby before, but my instinct tells me that she's a formidable enemy. She managed to find a way to create a child in secret after getting married to you. After that, she killed her own father. That's not what ordinary people do, so she's definitely someone who will do anything to get what she wants.'"Are you concerned that she will bribe Ben into going against me?""Not to go against you but to seduce you," Chad said. "She has never been discreet about wanting you for herself."Elliot took a sip of coffee. "Ben won't betray me.""True. I'm worrying over nothing. I just keep getting worried, probably because Ruby has your child right now. If only we can get custody of that child. I know it's difficult for you, though. You definitely don't want that kid."Before today, Elliot had thought and believed whole-heartedly that he would no

"I'm sorry, but I don't have parents who were that tolerant, nor have I ever been loved, so what Elliot's doing simply disgusts me. How is this any different from cheating?" Mike finished his drink and slammed the glass onto the table. "I can't do anything to him, but I can teach Ruby Gould a lesson!"Chad was stunned. "Do you have a death wish? Ylore is the territory of the Gould family—""Gary Gould is dead! Ylore is no longer their territory!" Mike mocked. "The reign of the Gould family is over!""Even so, you can't just go challenging Ruby! She's not alone right now. She has a newborn baby, so just let them settle what's between them on their own! If Mr. Foster really decides to take the baby back, he won't be able to keep it a secret from Avery. Avery will decide what to do on her own then!""F*ck this! Avery is always the one who gets hurt! Why?!" Mike stood abruptly from the chair.Worried that he would act out, Chad immediately pushed him back into the chair."Don't act r

Elliot relaxed slightly.The two went to lay down on the bed, and Avery turned off the lights. She kept her eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep.She knew that Elliot could not fall asleep as well.She had failed to convince Shea to give up earlier that day, and when Wesley walked her outside, he told her that Shea was behaving this way because of his mother.Avery felt even more helpless after hearing that.Though Wesley said that he would talk to his mother to get her to talk to Shea, Avery knew that it was unlikely that they would be able to convince Shea to get the abortion.She did not have the courage to tell Elliot about this. If she did, he might go after Wesley's mother, and the situation would only escalate further."Avery, what are you thinking about?" He noticed that her eyes were open through the faint moonlight.It unsettled him that she was lying in bed with her eyes wide open in silence."About all sorts of things... It's a mess in my head right now." She turn
