Mike was shocked by the question.

"What makes him think he has the right to ask about this? Avery's eyes are finally close to being fully recovered and now he wants to come and pretend like he cares about her? Doesn't he have any shame at all?! Has he heard from someone that Avery's eyes are almost fully recovered and has come here because of that? He must have known that Avery came close to being blind and maybe that's why he dares to treat her with such cruelty, thinking that she won't be able to see again?"

All sorts of thoughts swirled in Mike's mind.

"Do you care about her? How laughable," he said sarcastically. "If you really care about her, you should hand over custody of Layla and Robert! Give Tate Industries back to her! You can call me again if you manage to do all that!"

Elliot was enraged by the unreasonable request. "I didn't think you would be so unreasonable."

"Who are you calling unreasonable? Did I beg you to call me? Did I ask you to come to Avery's house?" snarl
