Chapter 200
It was six in the evening. Avery was driving back to Starry River Villa. The villa door was open. There was a red BMW parked in the front yard. Avery recognized this car, it was Tammy's car. Why did Tammy come all of a sudden? "Avery!" When Tammy saw Avery come home, she ran out, "I saw your two children! If I didn't hear from other people about you adopting the children, were you going to hide it from me forever?" Once Avery heard Tammy's complaining voice, she almost dared not get out of her car. She realized that whenever Elliot found out anything about her, the rest of the world would know! Furthermore, whenever Tammy found out anything, Elliot would get the news, too! One could only blame Tammy's relationship with Jun Hertz. Though, she could not cut Tammy off just because she was seeing Jun. "How could you?!" Tammy walked toward Avery and pulled her out of her car, "Isn't it just adopting two children? Why did you hide it?" Avery was speechless… "Also,

Tammy knew. "Avery, why didn't you tell Elliot? If he finds out that these are his kids…" "He doesn't want kids, Tammy. If you tell this to anyone or even Elliot, we won't be friends anymore." Avery said with a cold voice and her face was even colder as if she was a whole different person. "If this is serious, of course I won't tell. This is your privacy and I will keep your secret." Tammy said anxiously, "I really don't understand Elliot. What do you think, does he have a mental problem?" "Not unlikely." Avery sat by the bed and articulated each word, "I only want to take care of the kids until they grow up." "Avery, don't worry. I promise you I won't tell anyone about this." …At the old Foster mansion, it was seven thirty in the evening when Elliot came home. "Elliot, is Zoe okay? Why was she so careless? A doctor's hands are the most precious body part of them all!" Rosalie heard about Zoe's burn and she was worried. "It's no big deal." Elliot did not want his moth

He had two voices inside him. One voice was telling him not to get back with Avery. Another voice was telling him to find Avery's daughter. Even if the daughter was not his, he wanted to see how alike the girl was to Avery. And for that dude! A thorn to his heart! … At the Starry River Villa, Tammy came with the newly bought puzzle. As a result, it was Mike who opened the door for her. "Why don't you have clothes on again?" Tammy looked at Mike's naked top and complained, "You're not alone at home, there are Laura and Layla! Can you be more mindful of the situation?" Mike looked half awake, "Why didn't you bring breakfast? The buns you bought the other time were not too bad!" Tammy was speechless. She put down the puzzle and walked toward the master bedroom. However, Avery was not around. "Is Avery at work?" Tammy walked out from the bedroom and asked. Mike yawned, "If she's not around, then she's at work!" "Where's Laura? Sending the kids to school?" "If sh

Meanwhile, Hayden walked over to them. Tammy was shocked, why was Hayden not in school?Mike was equally shocked, "Big H, why're you not in school? Let's go out and play!" Tammy was speechless. Mike called Hayden "Big H"? Hayden pulled on Mike's arm and pulled him away. Tammy was speechless. It appeared that the two of them were quite close. No wonder Mike won Avery's heart. He got along with her kids. … After Elliot arrived at the Sterling Group, Chad came in to report to him. After the report, Chad adjusted his glasses over the bridge of his nose, "Mr. Foster, Miss Tate's current address is at the Starry River Villa. Are you looking for her? You had a divorce, I'm afraid she might not let you in." Chad did not want Elliot to get into trouble. Elliot said, "Chad, keep looking for a doctor to treat Shea for me. No matter how much they want, we can negotiate as long as Shea can be treated." Chad was surprised, "Miss Sanford is no longer treating Shea?" Elli

Laura walked toward Elliot. When he saw Laura walking toward him, he said, "Hello, Aunt." Laura looked cold, "Did Avery invite you over?" "No." "Then, why're you here? You had a divorce, please stop disturbing our lives." Laura's attitude was harsh. This was their house and Elliot came uninvited out of the blue. Elliot looked at the closed gate and then at Laura's face. He had to leave, "Sorry for disturbing." He could not break inside. When he left, he caught a small white object moving behind the bushes. The small object must have been Avery's daughter. He really wanted to see her but not through this way. He walked away. After he left, Layla ran out from the bushes. "Grandma! Why did Dad come?" Laura held Layla's hand and walked toward the villa's gate, "How do you know he's your Dad?" "Because he is Mom's ex-husband!" Layla said worriedly and sighed, "What a pity that he's a douchebag. My brother and I won't have a Dad for the rest of our lives." Laura

After the Tate Industries dinner had ended, there was a series of entertainment. Chad's friend promised to let him join them. This way, Chad could get close to Mike. After Avery and her family sat inside the car, Chad said to Elliot, "Mr. Foster, get some rest! Zoe's hands are hurt, you haven't visited her today, right? Why don't you check on her so that she's not disappointed." Elliot spent the whole day working today. Chad could tell that Elliot was not feeling well and so he used work to numb himself. However, Elliot had to face her eventually. Now Shea needed Zoe's treatment. As Zoe's boyfriend, Elliot must not be too harsh. Around half an hour after Elliot had left, Chad's friend came out from the restaurant. There was a group of men coming out along with him, including Mike. "Our Technical Director will wing us to continue drinking at the bar…Chad, I remember that you can drink a lot. Come and join us." Chad's friend patted Chad on the shoulder and said in a lo

At 5 a.m. the next morning, Elliot's phone vibrated. He had received a text message. It was not until two hours later that he woke up and saw the message from Chad.[Sir, according to Mike, he's an expert hacker.][He's gay.][I'd like to take the day off, Sir.]Elliot's brows furrowed as he read the three messages.How did Chad manage to find out this much crucial information in the span of a night?Mike was not someone who was easy to deal with.He would not simply reveal personal details to a stranger for no reason.At that thought, Elliot dialed Chad's number."Chad, how did you get all that information from Mike?"Chad remained silent for two seconds, then said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, "I was drinking with him last night. He told me after a few drinks.""That's it?""Yes. Also, I had too much to drink, so I'd like to take the day off.""Okay. Stay home and get some rest."…Chad's eyes were red at the end of the phone call.No one would believe wha

Avery glanced at the children, then turned to Laura and said, "Take the kids to school. I'm sure he has a reason for being here."As Laura led the children past Elliot, he noticed Layla's face.It was true that Layla looked similar to Avery.Layla's glistening wide eyes had a hint of hostility in them, and she glared at him when they walked past.He wondered what thoughts could have been instilled in her for her to despise him to this extent. Avery approached Elliot soon after."Why are you here this early in the morning?"Elliot looked at Avery's cool, clean face, then asked with a complicated expression on his face, "Is she your biological daughter, Avery? She looks a lot like you.""Did you come by just to look at my daughter?""Who's her father?" Elliot asked in a raised voice. "Since she's already in preschool, she's definitely more than three years old."It seemed like Avery could not get away with saying that Layla was adopted.Her daughter resembled her too much. La
