Rosalie's expression darkened. "They can't look that similar if they are not related. I have a feeling that that child is my grandson! Elliot was exactly like that when he was little. He always looked at others coldly as well, and those eyes, they look so similar to my own!" "But Young Master Elliot doesn't seem to be suspicious about the child's background," the nanny said. "Elliot doesn't know himself as well as I do. He has probably forgotten what he looked like as a child." "That's true. So what do you plan to do?"Rosalie's eyes shone as she said, "I need to find out if Elliot fathered the boy, and for that, I need to do a DNA test.""Well… you need the boy's hair or blood for a DNA test though…""When there's a will, there's a way." Rosalie was confident. "I will tell Elliot once I have the results."Zoe was in the hospital browsing through the news on her phone.Having a miscarriage meant that she had to remain in the hospital under observation for a few days. Ellio
Hayden began to wonder if he should scam Zoe out of all her money when he received her message. Zoe had broken up with Elliot and had lost her child, so the video would not hurt Elliot."How can you two do that?" Avery took a sip of water and went to the children's room to lecture them. "No matter the grudge that she and I hold against each other, she is in her seventies. What would have happened had she gotten startled and fallen sick?"Layla batted her eyelashes innocently. "You can cure her if she falls sick, Mommy.""I am not a miracle-worker! I can't cure all the illnesses in the world!" "But she didn't fall sick! She was yelling at you!" Layla muttered, "Mom, we can't just let others bully you!"Avery's heart softened at her daughter's words. "They weren't bullying me. I'm not that easy to bully," she said in an attempt to reassure her children. "But you didn't come home last night… Hayden and I waited so long… Uncle Mike said that the dirtbag took you away…" Layla po
The nail salon was located inside a luxury brand boutique, Avery had only known that it was a brand that sold handbags and clothing, and it was amazing to see that the company had entered into the nail salon business. "Avery! Jun and I are going to get married in May!" exclaimed Tammy. "And you are going to be my maid of honor! Your two kids will be my ring bearer!""My kids can be your ring bearer," Avery said with resignation, "but forget about me being your maid of honor… You should find someone else!"She was divorced with children. Therefore, technically she could not be someone's maid of honor. "I've already talked to my parents and Jun! They all say it's okay." Tammy dragged Avery and made her sit next to her. "Let's get matching nails!""Matching nails are fine, but I really can't be your maid of honor. Unlike me, I want you and Jun to be happy, Tammy," said Avery as she lowered her gaze. "I am as happy as I can be right now, but I want you to be even happier." The smi
They had broken up before, but the man had returned to Wanda after she had sold all her overseas properties for four hundred and fifty million. "Sanford, I heard that Elliot gave your daughter one hundred and fifty-five million dollars, is that right?" Wanda raised her voice on purpose. Zoe's father spotted Avery as well and responded proudly, "Yeah! He did, yesterday.""Why don't you tell your daughter to invest with me? I can multiply her one hundred and fifty-five million in folds," Wanda said with a smile. "Sure, I will discuss it with her when I get home! She admires you and is very supportive of us being together."Wanda looked at Avery, who was walking over, with a smug expression. "I'm back, Avery."Avery stopped and stared coldly at her. "Good. I would have gone looking for you even if you hadn't returned.""Oh… I came back for you as well. Your mother's life isn't compensation enough for the lives of my daughter and brother!" Wanda said and lifted an eyebrow. "You l
He stood under the warm street lights. He was wearing a light brown trench coat. It was refreshing to see him in a new style, as he was usually seen dressed in darker colors. The atmosphere in the yard shifted drastically with his appearance. Tammy gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She looked like she was going to punch Elliot in the face. It was clear that Jun had brought Elliot over. Avery looked away hastily after spotting Elliot. Everything that happened the night before was still in her mind, but she knew that he would not do anything with so many people in her house. Elliot had thought of himself as the one who owed Avery, but now Avery was the one who owed him. It was why he had dared show up at her house uninvited.As the two men walked through the yard, Tammy reached out to pinch Jun on the arm. Jun shrugged in resignation as if he was saying, 'Not my fault! I didn't bring him here!'Tammy shoved him toward Avery so that he might explain and apologize to her
Chad took a skewer with cooked meat and shoved it into Mike's mouth to make sure that he stayed quiet, before walking up to Tammy and Jun, who came back with a few bottles of wine. "These are great vintages! Did you steal it from your dad's wine cellar?""What do you mean, steal? How can you call it stealing if I'm taking something from my own house?" Jun opened the bottles with an opener. Chad brought one of the bottles to Mike and poured a glass for Elliot as well. Even Wesley, who could not quite drink, took a glass. "It's a fun night, so I should drink a bit as well.""Are you in a good mood, Mr. Brook?" Tammy poured wine into his glass and looked over at Avery. "Avery, you want some?"Avery shook her head. "I need to take care of the kids. You guys go ahead!""Alright! I will deal with this unwelcome guest of yours!" said Tammy, before sitting down next to Elliot. "Mr. Foster, why aren't you staying with your fiancé at the hospital? You can't possibly be thinking of dump
Hayden turned around and glanced at Elliot. Coincidentally, Elliot happened to be looking at them. The father and son stared daggers at one another. Hayden glared at him and looked away. "Layla, he won't eat anything we give him.""Sigh… Hayden, why do you think he is here?" Layla hated Elliot from the bottom of her heart, but she could not stop herself from sneaking glances at him."I don't know. Are you done eating?"Layla shook her head. "I'm waiting for Mom to bring the tomato sauce."Just then, Avery stepped out of the house with a bottle of ketchup in her hand Tammy went toward Avery and whispered, "Avery, you don't have laxatives in your house, do you?"Avery shook her head. "Why?"Tammy told her everything that had happened earlier. "I came so close to laughing myself to death. You should have seen the look on Elliot's face, hahaha! He wanted to explode but couldn't… Our Layla is so cute! After all, who would have the heart to be angry with her?"Avery was speechle
"Are you?" He grabbed her slim wrist and pulled her toward the bed. "You have to be in a good mood to ask your friends over for a barbeque. Are you tired because I am here?"His fingers began working on the buttons of her jacket. She grabbed his hand and said, "Elliot! Don't do this in my house!""Why not?" He did not give her a chance to answer and said sternly, "Why can't we do it in your house? Is it because you had other men in your bed before?"Avery shoved his chest. "Because you are dirty!"He froze at her words. She thought that he was dirty because he had slept with Zoe. She raced to the door, unlocked it, and told him to get out. He stared at the open door, walked toward it, and shut it."And you are not? You were pregnant with another man's baby." He locked the door and grabbed her by the waist, before lifting her up. She had a C-section, and there was a scar across her abdomen. The last time they had been intimate he had frozen at the sight of the scar. He had
