"What do you mean by that? Why are you still pretending?" Ben was infuriated.Beep—The call went dead. Elliot had hung up. Elliot held his phone. His eyes were filled with darkness, and they were unfocused.He quickly thought back to when he had received Avery's call at the airport.He remembered clearly back then other than what she had said about him going back on his promise, she had said nothing else! Since he thought back too hard, his world was spinning. He was extremely dizzy. He truly did not remember her saying that she could not see. She had not said that!However, why was Ben telling him that Avery said he knew about it?Elliot wanted to get down from the bed. However, the moment his feet touched the ground, his legs turned to jelly, and he fell sitting on the bed once more.He did not care about his dizziness. He immediately took his phone, found Mike's contact, and called.If what Ben said was true, it was understandable why Avery was ignoring him.Avery had ig
Tammy was feeling uncomfortable with Elliot's gaze. Mainly because she had scolded him via voice message previously, and then she had sent him a video, criticizing him. Although she knew that Elliot would not be so petty, his gaze at that moment made her shudder."Let's go have something to eat!" Elliot had not had his breakfast. His stomach hurt at that moment.Mrs. Cooper immediately walked over to Jun. "Let me handle Tiffany! You all go eat!"Jun passed his daughter to Mrs. Cooper. "Once she wakes up, call me.""Okay." Mrs. Cooper carried Tiffany to the living area.Elliot said that he had something serious to talk to them about, so once the servant served them the dishes, Mrs. Cooper gave them a look. The servants knowingly retreated.In the dining hall, Jun and Tammy were antsy. Elliot too did not appear to have much of an appetite."Elliot, did you sleep late last night?" Jun was looking for something to talk about."It's almost noon. I usually only wake up so late duri
However, Jun and Tammy went to see Avery themselves, so Elliot preferred to believe them more.Also, Avery's eyes had already recovered. It was just a scare."Hey, you made us stay for a meal just to ask us this?" Tammy teased. "You two have already divorced, also you planned to take Avery's company down, and now you pretend that you care about her. How contradictory of a person are you?""She sold the company off," Elliot said. "Ben blamed me for being too cruel to her. Ben is right. I was indeed cruel to her. If I—"He wanted to say that if he knew that she was sick, he would not have been so cruel to her.However, before he could finish his sentence, Tammy immediately sprung up from her chair."Elliot! You're an unadulterated son of a b*tch! I hope that you end up alone! A person like you doesn't deserve any love!" Tammy said angrily and stormed off.Jun saw his wife leaving and saw Elliot's face turning blue. He was stuck in the middle."Elliot, don't take Tammy's words to
At the Lynch mansion, after they stopped the car, Jun carried Tiffany out of the car.Tiffany woke up. Without saying anything, she opened her mouth and began to cry.In the mansion, Mary heard her granddaughter crying. She immediately ran out and took her granddaughter away.Previously, Mary had often hung out with her best friends, be it going to the spa, traveling, or gambling. Ever since she had her granddaughter, she never left to have fun anymore.Tammy saw how her mother doted on her daughter. She shook her head helplessly.After Jun took everything out of the trunk. They entered and headed directly to the dining hall."I'm starving. I wanted to stay at Elliot's to eat, but that dirtbag is really infuriating!" Tammy sat down in a chair.Jun scooped some food for her and passed it to her."Honey, don't be mad. It seems like Elliot doesn't know about Avery being sick." Jun had been observing Elliot closely that day. Elliot did not need to pretend as if he didn't know."Bu
However, Elliot remembered that at that point of the conversation, there was nothing substantial later."Avery, give me some time. I'll be back latest within a week. Wait for me to return. I'll apologize to you again then."After that, all he could hear was the airport noise and his conversation with Ben.Ben asked him if Avery was unwilling to let him go to Ylore. Ben said he could go to Ylore alone. Elliot said that Ivy was his daughter, and he had to go there.If just by listening to the conversation, he would still make the same choice. Avery had not told him that she had lost her sight during that call! She had not!He wanted to play the conversation for Ben. He did not unjustly blame Avery. If there was a misunderstanding, he had not caused it. Why was he blamed for being cruel and heartless?He clutched his forehead. His mind was a mess.At Bridgedale, Avery got up according to Hayden's schedule.If she could successfully apply for a doctoral course, then she and Hayden
How would Avery know that Elliot specifically asked them about that? She only knew that she had told him clearly that she could not see, yet Elliot had not responded.Elliot had never once responded.At that moment, he was pretending to not know about it and asking their mutual friends. What was he thinking?However, all this was no longer important. She had recovered her eyesight, so there was no need to pursue whether he had truly known about it or not.Furthermore, if he was really concerned about her sickness, why had he not asked her about it?Since Layla's deliberate flunking of her exams, she had unblocked Elliot so that she could call him. If he were to call her, she would see it, but he did not call her."Jun, we have been divorced for almost half a year. Whether there was a misunderstanding back then or not, everything has changed. We can no longer go back to before." After some serious pondering, Avery replied to Jun, "It must be late over at your side. Go get some r
"Yes, the child is called Kiara, K-I-A-R-A. Shea named her.""What a beautiful name. Who does Kiara look like?""Me. My mom said that she looks exactly like me when I was young," Wesley said. "I think she looks like me too."At that, he heard Shea's laughter coming from the ward."Big Brother, my daughter is extremely cute. I have given her an even cuter name. She is called Kiara. Do you like it?" Shea held onto Elliot's arm and said happily.Wesley heard what Shea said. He said to Avery awkwardly, "Elliot is here. It's good that you aren't returning. If not, you would surely have to bump into him.""Hmm. I'll promise to go see Kiara when I have the chance in the future."The call ended there.Wesley entered the ward from the balcony. Brook Sr. knew nothing about tact. He directly asked Wesley, "Can Avery return?"Wesley shook his head.Brook Sr. asked, "Is she busy? What is she busy with abroad?"Sandra could not take her husband's tactlessness, she immediately said, "Sin
Sandra noticed that Elliot's expression darkened. She immediately said to Shea, "Why don’t you all take Elliot out for a meal? We'll look after Kiara."Wesley and Shea immediately took Elliot out of the ward.After they left, Sandra reprimanded Brook Sr. "What is going on with you today? Did you leave your brain at home? Why are you bringing up all the things that shouldn't be brought up? You clearly saw Elliot here, yet you asked Wesley if Avery was coming back or not. That's fine, yet you dare to ask Elliot about Ivy! My God!" Sandra said.Then, she took Kiara over from Brook Sr.Brook Sr. also realized that his actions a moment ago were quite strange. Not quite, it was very strange. He was not this type of person usually."M-Maybe I'm too happy and excited, so I can't control myself." When he said that, he let out a cheeky smile. "I feel like I'm dreaming. Our son was not going to get married at first, and then he wouldn't have a child, yet somehow, he got married, and now, he
