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

Avery rushed to the technical department the moment she received the notice."Our director isn't here today, Mr. Foster."The manager at the technical department had no clue what had happened.However, judging from the coldness on Elliot's face, he guessed that Mike had somehow offended the man."Perhaps I should escort you to the president!" said the manager just as Avery walked into the room.Avery approached Elliot, noticed his rage, then said, "Let's talk in my office."He probably came up to the technical department to see Mike about something that had happened between them.Mike did not tell Avery anything but based on how livid Elliot looked, she guessed that it must be something serious. Once they were in Avery's office, Elliot and Ben sat down on the couch while the bodyguard waited at the door."What happened?" Avery said as she served each man a glass of water."Miss Tate, I'm afraid your Technical Director violated Chad," Ben said.Avery was speechless.Chad wa
