Chapter 191
It was only five in the evening. He did not expect mom to be here so soon! Although his mom had always told outsiders that he was adopted, he knew his mom loved him greatly. "Hayden!" Avery saw her son sitting on the sill with two muscular men beside him. Tears welled up in her eyes. Hearing Avery's voice, Elliot stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door. The bodyguards dared not stop Avery. They had witnessed how much Elliot had loved this woman. Although she was now his ex-wife, she was different from all the other women that Elliot was acquainted with. Elliot saw Avery carrying Hayden as her eyes reddened, she looked as if her son was being mistreated. "Avery, let's talk." Avery was fuming, "What gives you the right to bring Hayden to your house!? Did you have my permission? What you did was against the law!" Elliot's brows furrowed, "I did not hurt him! I only wanted to know when did he meet Shea? Why did they fall out?" Avery refuted, "Can't you ask

When Avery heard him, she frowned. "What do you mean by that dude? He has a name." Avery corrected him, "Can you show some respect?" Elliot said, "Respect? You're speaking of respect? You were together with that dude before our divorce, did you show me any respect?" "Please be clear. I filed for divorce four years ago. You were unwilling to sign then!" "As long as I haven't signed, we're still legally married. How could you cheat on me!?" Elliot interrogated her. Avery saw how serious he looked, she was almost convinced by him that she had cheated on him! "Since when have I admitted that I was with him before our divorce?" Avery refuted, "It's all your speculation! If you want to suspect yourself of being cheated on, don't blame me!" Elliot took a deep breath to calm himself down, "Then, what's his name?" "Why would you want to know his name?" Avery asked cautiously. "Didn't you ask me to show some respect? How am I supposed to respect him if you don't tell me his nam
Chapter 193
She thought about the reason why Hayden got angry. Could it be that she asked him to bring her out of school, and he was scolded for that? Other than this, she could not think of anything else. When Hayden heard her apologizing, he grew increasingly furious! Was she admitting to her inappropriate relationship with Elliot? She was the reason why his Mom and Dad had a divorce?! "Stop following me!" Hayden yelled at her, "I hate you!" Shea stopped and her eyes teared up. When Mrs. Cooper saw this, she instantly helped Shea to sit on the sofa, "Shea, don't cry. If he doesn't want to be your friend, stop following him." Since Hayden was so ill-tempered, Shea would hurt herself doing so. However, Shea did not want to lose a good friend like Hayden. She shook her head vigorously. Mrs. Cooper held on to her head and did not want her to keep shaking her head, "Stop shaking your head, you might hurt your head. Sit here, I will go and ask Hayden what it takes for him to befrie

”You must be Avery." Zoe went forward to greet her, "Nice to meet you, I'm Zoe." Avery glanced at her and said without enthusiasm, "Yeah, I'm leaving now." Avery and Hayden left. Zoe watched as she left and zoned out for a moment. Avery was younger and more beautiful than she imagined. Why did she look for Elliot today? She even brought a boy here…was that Elliot's son? So, she came here with the boy, trying to get back with Elliot? Thinking of this, Zoe felt disgusted. Would Elliot get back with Avery because of this? "Elliot, sorry to show up unannounced." Zoe pointed at the cake on the table, "My friend bought this cake for me but I can't finish it on my own so I brought this over." Elliot glanced at the cake, "Happy birthday, did you receive your gift?" Zoe halted, "Someone did send me a parcel in the afternoon. I didn't know it was you who sent it, so I haven't opened it." Elliot nodded, "I don't eat cake, and neither does Shea. You can eat with Mrs. Cooper

"Layla looks like you," Hayden said. "Hayden, he's indeed the father of the both of you. However, he doesn't like kids so it's best if the both of you don't go to him. If he finds out that you're both his kids, I don't know what he'd do," Avery said. Hayden replied, "We don't want a father like him!" "Hayden, I think you've changed and improved a lot since you've arrived at Aryadelle," Avery said. "Mom, I'm not ill, I just find those people childish and boring," Hayden said.Avery nodded, "I know. You like smart people like Uncle Mile. However, when you're older, you'll realize that the people who're not as smart are equally special. We must learn to focus on the merits of others, such as kindness and innocence." Hayden did not agree with that, but he did not refute her. Perhaps when he was older, he would understand what she meant. … Zoe arrived home at seven in the evening. She opened the gift she received in the afternoon. She was disappointed in Elliot because

Avery almost spat the green tea from her mouth. She took a tissue to dab on her lips. "Miss Sanford, I was the one asking for a divorce with Elliot. As for you taking Elliot from me, what I hate is that you're not married yet! Look at how alike you two are! He's handsome and you're beautiful, you're made for one another! When are you two getting married? I will send a grand gift!" Zoe had an awkward smile on her face, "Now I know this is what you're thinking. However, I'm sorry to disappoint you, as we don't plan to get married yet." "Why not? Do you not want to? Or does he not want to? If he doesn't want to, why don't I help you talk to him?" Avery took another sip of green tea. Zoe said, "You don't have to. We will let things happen at their course. Right, Miss Tate, you called me shameless earlier, I don't understand why. This is only our first meeting, so why did you insult me?" Avery sensed how fake this woman was. Zoe looked pitiable and wronged, one would easily symp

How could she frame her in such a clumsy way! Avery looked at her bad acting in shock! In her head, she already pictured the dramatic scene from romantic movies when the female lead bickered with the other woman. The staff rushed over and helped Zoe up to treat her burn. Avery sat on her chair as she had an hunch that she was going to be accused. Now that Zoe was hurt, she had the upper hand. She could say that this was an accident. She could also say that Avery burned her intentionally and her words were to be taken seriously. Avery asked for the bill. Soon after, the news of Avery burning Zoe got to the ears of Elliot. Out of all parts of Zoe's body, her hands meant the most to him. This was because Zoe had to perform surgery on Shea. And now, Avery had burned her hands… "There's no way Avery would do this!" Elliot said. The bodyguard showed the video footage to Elliot. The camera was facing Avery, it clearly showed how when Avery pushed Zoe's hands away, th

When Avery heard his questioning, she had a wave of emotions. "What did your girlfriend say to you?" she asked. Elliot halted. He had not visited Zoe. After listening to the recording, he got triggered and so he called her first. "Avery, I'm asking you! Don't change the topic!" His tone was more serious this time. When Avery heard him yell, she began fuming, "Isn't it obvious? I burned your girlfriend's hands with boiling water! Tell her to stay away from me, if not, I will burn her face!" Elliot was speechless. Avery said, "Why're you not speaking? Are you not trying to speak up for your girlfriend?" Elliot gulped and gritted his teeth. "If Miss Sanford's hands are damaged, who will operate on your Shea? Sigh, I'm suddenly so worried. Elliot Foster, will you take revenge on me?" Avery continued. "Avery Tate, even a fool knows you didn't mean that! Even so, I do get angry listening to what you say!" Elliot responded to her triggering words. "Then stop calling me!
