Chapter 367
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

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,

Chad opened the door to Elliot's office in Sterling Group once the company network was restored. "Mr. Foster, the Network Security Department asked me to take this to you," he said while setting down a stack of documents before Elliot. Elliot glanced at the document and asked, "What are these?""… I think these are the codes of the malware written by Hayden Tate." Chad simply glanced through it. He did not dare continue reading. Elliot opened the file and saw a sentence hidden within the code that said, [Elliot Foster is an idiot.]His expression darkened. When he flipped to the second page, he saw another sentence. [Elliot Foster falls into the river while driving!]On the third page was [Elliot Foster runs out of toilet paper in the bathroom], while on the fourth page, there was another sentence [Elliot Foster chokes on bread.]…Elliot picked up the documents and tossed them into a paper shredder. Despite the dark expression on his face, he did not respond in any way. H

Elliot might as well just be blunt and say that he only wanted Avery to bear his children and that he did not care if his children with any other woman died, because he did not want them to begin with. "So you want Avery to bear your child, then?" Ben teased. "Yeah."Ben gasped and almost dropped his cup. "You really want her to bear your child?!""Zoe asked that I avenge our child's death.""So you are trying to get Avery pregnant with your child as revenge?" Ben was amused. "Zoe is probably going to cry so much that she passes out if she learns that this is your way of taking revenge.""How I take my revenge is up to me.""Is Avery willing to do it?" Ben instinctively knew that there was more to the story.Avery already had two children, and even if Hayden was adopted, Ben could tell that she saw Hayden as her own from the way she treated him. It was only natural that she was unwilling to give birth to any more children."She isn't." Elliot scowled. "She hates me now.""O

When he saw how cheerful she was in the photo, his heart ached at the realization that it had been so long since she had last smiled at him. It was almost five years ago. In the wedding dress shop, Avery had taken the wedding dress off and picked out a light purple dress to wear to Tammy's wedding. "I will be thirty in a few years, and I won't get to wear dresses like this by then," she said. "I should buy a few more like this one while I can still pretend to be young.""Avery, with your face, people would believe you even if you say you are twenty. It's not like you will grow old overnight when you are thirty, so relax and be young all you want!""That sweet tongue of yours! No wonder you have Jun wrapped around your fingers," Avery said with a smile. "He is the one who benefited from me choosing him, okay?" After trying on the dresses she had ordered, Tammy said with satisfaction, "All that's left right now is to wait for the wedding! Oh, isn't the kids' birthday soon? How do

Tammy and Avery were seated next to the window. They had a good view. "Mom!" Layla ran toward Avery while holding her brother's hand. Avery lifted them up and sat them down on the couch. "Did you have fun in kindergarten today?"Layla shook her head. "Mom, the teacher says we need to poke our fingers next week… I'm scared…""It's a blood test. They are going to check our blood sugar levels," said Hayden. Realizing what her daughter meant, Avery immediately comforted her and said, "Don't be scared, baby. It will just be a pinch."Layla's attention was instantly drawn toward the cake on the table. "Mom, whose birthday is it today, Aunt Tammy?"Tammy shook her head with a smile. "We are having an early celebration for you and your brother's birthday! Surprised?" She then took out two beautifully wrapped gifts and handed them to the children. "I am!" Layla accepted the gift excitedly and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tammy! I love you so much!""I love you too!" Tammy patted Layla

When Elliot appeared by the table, Avery was about to take a bite of the cake and she almost snapped the plastic fork in half at the sight of him. What were the odds that she would run into him in the rare chance that she dined out?Tammy frowned. "What a coincidence, Mr. Foster. Do you have a meeting here?"She waved at the group behind Elliot sarcastically, and the others gave her smiles that were both polite and careful at the same time. Elliot glanced at the cake on the table and looked at the two children. "It's your birthday?" His voice was low, powerful, and confused. He remembered that Hayden's birthday was on the 13th of April, not today. Avery's blood ran cold at that very instant. She had not wanted to celebrate their birthday because she feared that he would get suspicious. Yet, he had still caught them celebrating in secret.Elliot studied the panicked and anxious expression on Avery's face thoughtfully."So Hayden's birthday isn't on the 13th of April, but today
