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

"Mom!""Mom!"The shouts of the two children echoed inside the mansion. Inside the master bedroom, Avery heard her children shouting and tensed. She tried to escape from Elliot— who was on top of her. She could not break free. "Elliot Foster! Let me go!" Tears began to well up in her eyes as she grew anxious.He grabbed onto her wrists tightly. He had no intention of releasing her."I'm not done!" His voice was low and tinted with annoyance. "Do you really believe that they need something from you?""It doesn't matter when or why they are looking for me, all that matters is they need me!" She struggled to fight him off. Her eyes grew red with tears as she struggled against him.He simply tightened his grip. There was no way she could escape if he was determined to keep her there. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and her eyes slowly filled with resentment. Outside the door, Layla was about to burst into tears, and Tammy immediately lifted her up. "Don't cry, Layla! I just h

When she went to turn off the lights, he could see the tears rolling down her face. Though he was physically satisfied, he felt discontent. He felt worse when she remained quiet. The room was dark with only the faint light coming in from the street lights down below. He started at her back and furrowed his brows. Instinctively, he wanted to be closer to her, so he stretched out his arm and tried to pull her to him.She shoved him away with all the power she could muster. The moment she felt the warmth of his body, she shouted, "Let me go!""No!" He tightened his arms around her and indulged himself in her scent. He rested his chin on her shoulder. "I'm not leaving tonight."Avery felt as though she had been tied up, and she could not move an inch. Elliot had not been gentle, but he was not as rough as the last time. "When has he ever asked for my opinion before showing up or leaving? What I think doesn't matter to him, so he doesn't even need to say anything! He would just d

Elliot sneered and thought to himself, "Hayden Tate wants to be my dad? How hilarious. But, that kid has guts."Elliot guessed that him staying over had frustrated Hayden greatly. He must not have been able to get any sleep, and that was why he had attacked Elliot's company. Hayden had the right to be angry, but when Elliot pictured how Hayden had lost sleep over anger, he could not help but smirk. "Mr. Foster, should we call the police?" Chad asked. Elliot continued his way downstairs as he drawled, "What's going on in the network security department?""They trying to get the system up and running as soon as they can." "How long until it's fixed?""They should be able to fix it by noon today," Chad said. Elliot reached the first floor and said, "We are not calling the police.""Noted. Mr. Foster, do you suspect that this is Hayden's doing?""No."Chad could barely hold back his laughter. "Well, he sure is a genius child! The IT department has strengthened the firewall
Chapter 369
Once she was inside, Rosalie picked up the phone and said, "Hello, do you know Elliot Foster? I'm his mother.""Hello, Madame Rosalie. May I know why you've contacted me?" The person on the other end of the line said. "You have a student named Hayden Tate at your kindergarten, right?""Yes.""The thing is, I need a few strands of his hair, and I was wondering if you can get me some. I will pay you, so just name your price," said Rosalie.Confused, the other person asked, "Why do you want his hair? It's not that I don't want to help, but you probably don't know much about that child. You see, he does not allow anyone to touch him. The only person who can touch him is his sister."Rosalie had not predicted that something this simple would turn out to be so difficult. "Think of something! If you can't get your hands on his hair, blood will also do!" she said. "I'll be honest with you, that boy's mother was married to my son for a while… and I suspect that boy is my son’s son. So,
