Avery did not respond to Mrs. Cooper.She should not have come here.She should have listened to Mike.Shea had her own phone. If Avery wanted to thank her, all she had to do was give her a call and ask to meet her.Once Avery arrived on the ground floor, she walked over to the couch and picked up her bag.At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce came to a halt in the front yard.Elliot was home.Avery was mortified.If she had come down a minute earlier, she would not have run into him.She was upset enough as it was and wanted to be alone to release her frustrations."Master Elliot's home, Avery!" Mrs. Cooper said."So what if he was home?" she thought. Avery lowered her gaze and walked toward the front door with her bag.Elliot had already noticed the Land Rover parked in the front yard.He did not expect Avery to come here.As he got out of the car, his deep-set eyes watched her as she walked out of the house.Elliot walked over to Avery's car and waited for her there.

"Let's go inside, Master Elliot!"Mrs. Cooper walked up to Elliot after waiting for a moment.She did not know what he and Avery had talked about, but she knew that he never wanted Avery to suffer. After all, she was now pregnant with his child.Zoe had gone too far tonight, but it was understandable.If she had not suffered a miscarriage, her baby would have been born by now.Elliot clenched his fists tightly and walked into the living room.Zoe was sipping a cup of tea on the couch.She placed her cup down when she saw him walk in."Elliot, I gave Shea a sedative. She hasn't slept for twenty-four hours, so she will need a nice, long rest," she said as she looked at Elliot. "She'll need to go to the hospital for a cranial checkup tomorrow."Elliot responded curtly."I hear you passed out today. Are you alright?" Zoe asked with a thoughtful expression on her face. "You have to prioritize your health no matter what. Not only for yourself, but for Shea's sake, too. She hasn't

"Hey, Elliot. Did you take Shea to the hospital for her checkup already? Didn't we agree to go together?" Zoe said disconcertedly.She had driven to the Foster mansion, but Mrs. Cooper told her that Elliot had already left the house with Shea.Elliot watched the bustling hospital entrance, then said plainly, "The results were fine.""I see. That's good. I'm already preparing a third treatment plan for Shea," Zoe said enthusiastically. "I have a new idea. If everything goes well, we should be able to proceed with her third surgery later in the year.""Can you guarantee that a third surgery would guarantee that she will have a normal life?"Zoe was stunned.Even a miracle worker would not be able to guarantee they could successfully cure a patient."I'm not a hundred percent certain, but I think—""In that case, let's just stop!" Elliot said coldly. "Come to me again once you can absolutely guarantee that Shea will be normal." Zoe was shocked by his words."Elliot… Are you say

The weeks flew by in a flash.The next day was Children's Day, as well as the day of Avery's prenatal checkup.In the beginning, she was afraid that the baby would not make it. After all, she had ingested plenty of drugs during the early stages of her pregnancy. Unexpectedly, the baby was strong enough to hold on until today.If the checkup goes well tomorrow, the hospital would open a new pregnancy medical file for Avery."Is Elliot going to the checkup with you tomorrow, Avery?" Mike asked during dinner."Do you have a date tomorrow? I can just go by myself," Avery said.Mike raised his brows and asked, "Elliot isn't going with you?""I don't need him or you to come with me. If you come, people might start to think that you are the father." "Get the nanny to go with you."She needs to stay home with the kids. Go on your date and don't worry about me," Avery said, then took a sip of soup. "I already made an appointment. I should be done by noon.""Okay," Mike responded

Elliot was standing as straight and as still as a statue at the front gate of Avery's house.Avery's heart began to pound wildly against her chest!She rushed back to the side of her bed and picked up her phone to check if Elliot had called or left any text messages.He did not.He did not contact her at all that morning."When did he arrive?"Why is he here this early?" she thought.If she had not noticed him, would he have waited silently out there the entire time?Avery quickly pulled out a dress from her closet and quickly changed into it, then rushed down the stairs.When the front door of the villa opened, Elliot's deep-set, hawk-like eyes looked over.Dressed in a white dress, Avery slowly walked out of the house.Elliot lifted his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch."It is only seven in the morning. Why was Avery up so early? "Do pregnant women not tend to suffer from lethargy?" thought Elliot.Avery arrived at the front of the yard and opened the gate.

Avery's mind went blank.She forgot everything she wanted to say."They're not even denying it! Hahaha!" teased Wesley's mother.Wesley scratched his head, then awkwardly changed the subject."The results from the blood test should be out by the time we're done with lunch."Avery nodded, then lowered her head and began to eat.After lunch, Avery insisted that Wesley did not need to accompany her back to the hospital to get her results.She already felt bad for troubling him that morning.Wesley's house was near the hospital, so Avery and Elliot walked to the hospital together."Why didn't you let me clear up the misunderstanding? Do you take pleasure in people's misunderstanding?" she said."We're not exactly close to Mrs. Brook, so there's no need to argue with her."Elliot walked by her side as he kept an eye on his surroundings."You might not be close to her, but I am.""Since you know her so well, you can explain things to her at any time."When the light at the cros

Although Elliot had once been in a relationship with Zoe, rumors about his love life were less scandalous when compared to other successful men.…At six in the evening, Avery and the children arrived at the restaurant. Elliot had sent her the location the night before. Elliot had reserved a private VIP room.When Avery mentioned the room number at the reception desk, a waiter immediately led them to the room.The moment they stepped in, Layla exclaimed in shock!"Mommy! It's beautiful here!"The room was decorated to reflect Children's Day.The colorful balloons, lights, and flowers, as well as the presents that covered the floor, left them in awe."What's in all these gift boxes, Mommy?" Layla asked as she picked up one of the presents."They're decorations. There's nothing inside of them," Avery said.The waiter smiled and said, "Actually, Miss Tate, there are gifts in every single one of these boxes. Mr. Foster was the one who prepared them. They're all Children's Day g

Elliot had not come to dinner because he was with Zoe. That was, however, not what had caused Avery the most hurt.The most painful thing for her was remembering the fact that Elliot and Zoe had once shared a child together.Moreover, Zoe had accused Avery of murdering her child… and Elliot had believed her.If not for his belief, Avery would not be pregnant with his child.At this point, her eyes filled with tears.She hung up as all the energy drained from her body, and she had to hold onto the dining table for support.When the children noticed the change in their mother's demeanor, they immediately leaped out of their seats."Mommy! What's wrong?!" Layla exclaimed as her eyes glistened with tears."Is he not coming, Mommy?" Hayden guessed. "Don't cry, Mommy. Let's go home!"Avery forced herself to swallow her tears, then guiltily said, "You're both hungry, right? Let's go somewhere else for dinner."The children shook their heads in unison."I'm not hungry, Mommy! I'm
