They were already estranged, and here she was pregnant with his child. Avery had no words or emotions to express the shock she felt. It reminded her of the time she had been pregnant with Hayden and Layla. She was extremely heartbroken. Back then, Elliot was fighting for a divorce. Now, things were different. She was financially independent. She could raise the children herself. It did not matter if it was one, two, or three; she could raise them all. However, should she tell him about this matter? After all, back when Zoe had a miscarriage, he blamed it all on her, insisting that she give him a baby in return. Although they were no longer in contact, what if he tried to get in contact with her because she had not given him a child? Mike saw her panic through the corner of his eyes. He immediately closed the distance between them and glanced a

When the guard saw Avery, he thought he must be hallucinating. She had had a terrible fight with Elliot! How dare she show up here?Previously, the guard would immediately let her in. Now, he did not open the gate for her. Using the internal phone line, the guard called the living room. Mrs. Cooper picked the phone up."Avery Tate is here. She's standing outside the gate," The guard said.Mrs. Cooper was stunned. "Oh, I'll go have a look." After hanging up, Mrs. Cooper strode outside to have a look.The skies, which had been clear, were now dark and cloudy. Mrs. Cooper did not let Avery in; she walked to the gate."Avery," Mrs. Cooper had a dark expression on her face. "Are you here to see Mr. Foster?" She knew that Avery was the one who had hurt Elliot, therefore she did not feel any pity for Avery. Elliot had almost lost his life this time. He would definitely not want to see Avery again.Avery nodded. "Is he home?""He is. After being discharged from the hospital, he ha

If Elliot did not see her or think of her, he could eat, sleep, and live like a normal person.However, the moment he thought of her, his body would begin to react to her. A moment later, a knock came on his door. Elliot entered his room from the balcony.He opened the room door. Mrs. Cooper was standing outside."Sir, Avery came by just now. She said she was looking for you. I asked her as to her intentions for seeing you, but she did not tell me," Mrs. Cooper said. "She left.""I saw." Elliot's expression was calm. His tone was cold."Oh, the next time she comes, should I invite her in?" Mrs. Cooper asked."No," he muttered after a while. …When Avery returned home, she was completely drenched."Mommy, why are you so wet? Did you not bring an umbrella?" Layla said, heartbroken.Mike pushed her upstairs. "Quickly, go take a shower. You might catch a cold."Avery headed upstairs."Uncle Mike, why did you let Mommy come back alone?" Layla looked at Mike reproachfully.Ha

Avery was still worried for the child in her womb. There was something that she had to do before the date of the examination came. She wanted to rectify the situation at hand. Not caring whether it was too late or not, she would do what she had to. It would at least give her some peace of mind. Avery put on a jacket and left with an umbrella.There was a pharmacy that was a three-minute walk away from the neighborhood. She bought a bottle of folic acid and placed it in her pocket. She was walking in the rain beneath the protection of the umbrella. Although the rain was heavy, she was not cold. It was spring. Spring was the time when all beings came to life. It was a season of hope. She hoped that the child in her womb was as healthy as Layla and Hayden. As long as the child was healthy, she would carry it to term. Elliot was no longer important. Walking without an umbrella under the rain that evening had helped her figure many things out.She and Elliot would never cross pa

After tossing around for a while longer, Avery picked up her phone and looked at the time again.It was past midnight, and it was soon going to be one in the morning. She was completely wide awake. Almost by reflex, Avery pulled open the drawer of her nightstand and took out a bottle of melatonin. She unscrewed the bottle. Just as she was about to swallow the pill, she caught sight of the bottle of folic acid. She immediately threw the pill into the bin.She had to sleep. It was for the child in her womb.The next day at eight in the morning, after Avery had sent the children to kindergarten, she brought breakfast home.As she entered, Chad came out of Mike's room. He was swiftly buttoning his shirt while he walked. He had planned on leaving before Avery could find out about him. "Chad, I bought you breakfast," Avery said politely.Chad was speechless. Hearing Avery's voice, Mike came out of his room."Avery, uh…" Mike blushed a little, trying to explain himself.Avery ca

His office door flung open. When Ben saw him coughing violently, he immediately walked over and gave him a cup of water."Don't come to work if you have not fully recovered! You never listen to the doctor."Elliot placed the cup down on the table and strode over to the washroom. Ben wanted to follow him, but he saw what was playing on Elliot's computer screen from the corner of his eyes."Eric, everyone is curious as to why you chose to collaborate with Tate Industries? Was it because they offered you a good deal?" The reporter chuckled.Eric looked at Avery and smiled. Just when he was about to answer, Avery said, "No. Eric told us that as he had been out of the industry for three years, we would only pay him the amount we would pay a newcomer." There was an uproar below the stage. Miss Tate, how do you know Eric? Are you two close? I see that you are both wearing cream sweaters…" The reporter sounded like a gossipmonger. Avery blushed a little."It's just a coincidence," Eri

"Avery has some tricks up her sleeves!" Wanda said coldly.Although Eric was not currently the hottest celebrity, he had been one! His comeback swayed the entire entertainment industry!Wanda did not understand why Eric wanted to help Avery. Previously, he had tweeted for Tate Industries, rescuing them once.This time, he actually wrote a song for them! How absurd! Wanda called Zoe. The call was soon answered."Zoe, do you know why Eric Santos is helping Avery? Are they secretly together?"Zoe was also watching the live stream. She was also in a bad mood.Eric was not only talented, but he was also very good-looking. Women would find it hard to resist his seduction."He already told us the answer just now on the live stream," Zoe said frigidly. "He said that he knew Avery when he was sick."Wanda did not understand what Zoe meant. "What's so strange about that?""He had been comatose! He would not have been conscious! Even if Avery had stood in front of him everyday, he woul
