"Mom..." Robert immediately walked in front of Avery, raised his head, and glared at Tiffany with his big black, shiny eyes, "This is my mother, not yours!" "When your mother talked to you just now, you hid behind Tiffany!" Tammy came over and laughed, "Since you won't let your mother hug Tiffany, you can't hide behind her." Tammy was afraid of making Robert cry, so she took her daughter from Avery's arms. Avery didn't expect Robert to be so jealous. It was evident that he didn't seem to want her to hug someone else. "Robert, can mother hug you?" Avery squatted in front of her son and looked at him tenderly, "Mom wants to hug you. Just like how Tiffany's mother hugged her." Robert didn't know what to do. He finally looked up at Avery and stretched out his little arms. Seeing this, Avery immediately picked up her son. At this moment, Avery felt as if she owned the whole world. Today was the second time the mother and son had met since she returned to Aryadelle. Unexp
"What if your father doesn't welcome your mother to your house for dinner?" Tammy burst into laughter, "You are not afraid of your father spanking you for this, are you?" "No!" Robert's face wrinkled, and his voice was clear. "Dad won't hit me!" "But your father doesn't want you to take your mother home for dinner." "Dad does!" Robert felt that he knew exactly what his father wanted. He talked to his father yesterday, and his father had already allowed his mother to go to their house to sleep. Eating a meal there was out of question. Tammy turned back and forth with a smile and looked at Avery. "Avery, do you want to accept your son's invitation to go to your ex-husband's house for dinner? If you want to go, I can cancel the takeout." Avery shook her head gently without thinking. "Robert, thank you very much for inviting your mother to dinner at your house, but Tammy has already helped me to buy food." She explained to Robert patiently. Robert lowered his eyes, thought fo
"Who is it?" Tammy saw that Avery was looking at her phone, so she immediately leaned in front of her and glanced at her phone screen. After seeing the words 'Elliot', Tammy sighed. "Didn't you two cut off contact with each other? Did you start contacting each other again after you returned to Aryadelle?" "To be exact, I contacted him just now." "Hahaha, I didn't expect to be caught up in the scene. Could you show me what he sent you?" Tammy didn't consider herself an outsider. Avery didn't treat her as an outsider either. Tammy took her mobile phone and was stunned when she saw the two text messages sent by Elliot. "Why does he suddenly want to pay you alimony? Did you two meet yesterday to discuss this?" Avery shook her head. "No. We met yesterday because Layla had a little problem with her work. Apart from that, we didn't talk about anything else." "Was he suddenly feeling kind? Or does he think you look shabby?" Tammy looked at Avery. Avery wore home clothes and h
The takeaway that Tammy ordered for her had arrived, but she hadn't had time to eat because of everything that had happened. She was starving. She walked to the dining room with the takeaway and ate it happily. She knew that when she was too hungry, she could not eat too hastily, otherwise it would hurt her stomach. She still did anyway. She was probably too hungry, and her head was dizzy, so she gulped down several mouthfuls of food in rapid succession. If it weren't for the discomfort in her stomach, she would have gone on. She put a hand on her stomach and got some water to drink. After a while, her phone rang. She returned to the dining room, put down her water glass, and picked up her phone. The call was from Tammy. "Avery, Jun sent me a picture just now. It's about Elliot. Look! I think it would be horrible if he did this!" Tammy was excited as if Elliot had done some nasty stuff. After hanging up, Avery clicked on the picture sent by Tammy. The picture was
The two of them were drinking together tonight. Did Mike tell Chad something after he got drunk? Why would Mike do that? Avery was puzzled! She didn't want to expose Chad and blame him for telling a white lie. "I had a sum of money from selling the company before..." Avery took a deep breath and planned to retort. Even if Elliot had given some thought to it, he would have known that it was nearly impossible for Avery to go broke. She was once the head of a company, and she was unlikely to go broke with the money she got from selling her company. She could go to work to make money if her life was tough. She didn't need to rely on his alimony to live. "Didn't you say the money was saved for Hayden's marriage in a few years?" Elliot asked tightly, "Did Hayden fall in love early?" Based on the words 'marrying a wife' and 'a huge expense' in the text message sent by Chad, Elliot judged that Hayden might have fallen in love early. If he hadn't fallen in love early, how coul
After saying this, she worried that he would really go to Bridgedale to find Hayden. Hayden would definitely annoy him even more. "I was joking with you! Hayden isn't in love, I'm sure." She immediately reassured him, "I don't need your alimony for the time being." "The alimony is not for you, but for Hayden." Elliot corrected her. "Hayden doesn't need it either!" Avery was annoyed by him, "As long as I'm still alive, I don't need you to pay Hayden alimony!" He frowned at her angry voice. He didn't want to quarrel with her. He wanted to communicate with her about her and Hayden's current living situation. If their life was not good, he was willing to help them. His thoughts changed when he reached Avery. She had strong self-esteem, and even if her life was not very good, she would still not receive his help. Avery quickly calmed down after listening to his breathing on the phone. She was so annoyed just now. There was no need to be angry. "If you
She opened her eyes and saw Mike's face. What happened last night suddenly came to mind. "Avery, it's almost nine o'clock. Why are you still sleeping?" Mike walked to the window and opened the curtains, "I bought you breakfast." "How could you walk into my room without knocking on the door?" Avery got out of bed immediately and walked toward the closet. "I was afraid that something had happened to you because you are usually not this late." Mike sat by the window, and his eyes fell on her. "Actually, I didn't want to disturb you, but Chad wanted me to find out what was going on." Avery went to the bathroom to change her clothes, washed her face, and came out. "How much alcohol did you drink last night?" She looked at him coldly. "I didn't drink much, just... a bottle!" Mike felt guilty when she looked at him. "What's the matter? Do I still smell of alcohol? I took a shower." He smelled his clothes, muttering, "I don't smell anything!" "Did you tell Chad last nig
Avery stared at herself in the mirror and flashed back to when she lost her sight. Her eyes suddenly became blind then, and her mood had fallen to rock bottom. Nervousness, fear, and unease filled every nerve in her body. She thought that if she finally called Elliot, he would definitely come and take her to the hospital.After listening to the recording, Mike pressed pause. "Avery, why are you crying?" Mike saw that her eyes were wet and immediately put the phone aside and brought her a tissue. "You asked why I was silent in the second half, didn't you?" Avery's body was tense, and her hand holding the toothbrush couldn't stop shaking. "Yeah! Chad said he asked Elliot, and Elliot said you probably didn't listen to your phone at the time." "He lied!" Avery threw the toothbrush in her hand to the ground and cried out, "My voice was silenced! I told him that I couldn't see! I begged him to come to me! How could he? How could he?" Mike's chest rose and fell rapidly.
