Chelsea did not expect Elliot to still protect Avery under such circumstances. Feeling wronged and bitter, she began to cry. Chad hurried inside and dragged Avery out from where she was seated."I don't know why Chelsea showed up," he explained seriously. "Let me see you off first!""No thanks." She pushed Chad's hand away and strode toward the elevator.She was overwhelmed at the moment. She came with the intention of confronting Elliot, but she had not expected herself to strike him. Though he had instigated her into striking him, it did not change the fact that she had hit him. Elliot was hot-tempered and would often get into arguments with her, but he had never raised his hand at her.After exiting the elevator, she walked toward the parking lot. She then got into her car and drove back to the company. While she was driving, she received a call from Tammy."Avery, I heard that you hit Elliot for me… Didn't I tell you to not go looking for him?" Tammy was so stunned by th

Avery thought about it from another perspective. If Elliot had slapped her, she would resent him for life. She would have gone to the hospital and gotten an abortion out of spite. When she thought about it that way, she secretly thought that Elliot might never look for her ever again. A week had passed, and Tammy and Avery were in one of the most elite restaurants in the city. The bruise on Tammy's face was almost gone, and Tammy had asked Avery out for a meal. Tammy fully intended to buy Avery a meal.Initially, Tammy had invited the children, but Wesley had taken them and Shea out."Avery, Elliot did not go looking for you for the past few days, right?" said Tammy, worry tinting her voice."Hmm." Avery ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to Tammy."I heard that he has been at home for the past few days. He never left the house." When Tammy said that she could not help but laugh. "I don't really hate him anymore. For real. It really tickles me that now he is feeling wor

"Hah! As I thought!" Tammy sneered. "Chelsea brought that lady over to present her to Elliot."Avery looked away. Although she found the entire situation to be absurd, she did not have any control over the actions of others."How unlucky! We were having such a good time, and now, they are here," said Tammy. She took a sip of water and looked at Avery. "Avery, why don't we go somewhere else?" Avery shook her head. "We came here first.""Won't he upset you?""Even if he upsets me, we can't leave," said Avery calmly. "We have already placed our orders. We can't let the food go to waste." "Why don't we take it away. We can eat at home!" Avery said, "Tammy, I don't remember you being such a coward? If that lady has truly altered her face to look more like me, it is she who should be nervous about running into me. I don't have to avoid her." "Of course, I'm not a coward! Even if Elliot approaches me right now, I won't be afraid!" Tammy might say that she was not afraid, but she s

After Avery finished her meal, she placed down her utensils.Tammy followed suit. "Let's go! Do you want to do some shopping? If you want to shop, I'll accompany you."Avery shook her head. "I had too much food. I'm a little sleepy." "I'll send you back," Tammy grabbed her bag and walked over to Avery, helping her up.Avery suppressed her laughter, "You don’t have to be so cautious. I can walk on my own.""I just want to hold onto you!" Tammy touched Avery's tummy. "It sure does look quite big. You're wearing baggy clothes, so it doesn't look like it, but when I touch it, it's obvious. It's like a huge watermelon.""It's clearly a small watermelon," replied Avery."Have you ever seen such a huge small watermelon? Sigh. We should be able to see the child's face already, right?" Tammy asked."Hmm. I saw the baby on the ultrasound scan when I was in Bridgedale." "Who does the baby look like?"Avery was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It looks like itself.""Is the ba

Tammy took the report downstairs. Elliot heard footsteps and looked up at the staircase. Their eyes met. The awkwardness filled the entire living room "Mr. Foster, what brings you here?" Although Tammy was a little afraid of him, she was in Avery's house. She had strong backup.Elliot ignored Tammy's sarcastic tone. His gaze fell on the report in her hands. "Is Avery still asleep?""Oh, are you here to take Avery to the hospital?" said Tammy, and she flung the report at him. "She has already gotten the report." "Give it to me." Elliot took two steps forward and stretched his hand out.Tammy hid the report behind her back and took a jab at him, "Has your face healed? And here I thought you wouldn't come looking for Avery. I never thought that your child would be more important than your so-called ego!"Elliot's expressions darkened immediately when he heard Tammy mocking him."You really care about that child. Do you have a throne that he needs to inherit?" Tammy would not le

Avery had been trying to get back to sleep, but the commotion between Elliot and Tammy over the results affected her, and she no longer felt the urge to sleep."Let's do it now then!" Avery headed upstairs to grab her bag.A moment later, she returned with her bag in hand.Elliot's gaze fell on her tummy. "Avery, do you not have a lift at home?""No." She knew what Elliot was thinking. He was worried that the pregnancy might be affected if she exhausted herself climbing up and down the stairs. She, however, did not feel exhausted at all. Even if her tummy got bigger during the later stages of her pregnancy, she could still carry herself up and down the stairs. "Either you move downstairs, or you install a lift. Your choice," said Elliot in a tone that brooked no argument."How am I going to install a lift? Are you asking me to tear down my house?" Avery glared at him. "If I can't climb the stairs anymore, naturally, I'll move downstairs."Avery strode out of the house with El

"Congratulations! It's a boy." The head of the department pointed at the child's body on the screen.Elliot swallowed and said hoarsely, "Let me have a look at his face."The head of the department immediately moved the scanner up. It was a pity the child had already turned around. At that moment, they could only see the side of his face."I have saved the photo of his front face." The department head tapped the screen and showed Elliot the child's photo. "Mr. Foster, your son looks just like you! It's already so obvious."Elliot looked at the child's photo. His heart softened. This was his first time perceiving the child as a human being. He suddenly understood why Avery had been so angry with him. She had seen the child as a human being faster than he had. "I'll print the photo out for you later," said the head of the department. "Let me have a look at how this child is developing."Elliot nodded.A moment later, the head of the department said, "The child is on the smaller s

Chelsea picked the ultrasound scan up. She saw the child that looked like Elliot and her heart filled with disgust."The baby looks like you! It's a boy, right?" Chelsea asked with a smile.Elliot responded in the affirmative and stored the ultrasound scan. "Why are you here?""It's my cousin's first day at the office, and I thought I'd let you know." Chelsea smiled gently. "Elliot, congratulations! You're going to be a father! The baby looks so much like you. I'm sure he'll be as amazing as you are."Elliot slowly relaxed, and he looked less severe. That child was his only hope now.Chelsea walked out of his office. She maintained the smile on his face as she walked back to her office. The moment she entered her office, her expression immediately changed! She was furious! 'The child is fine! How could God be so cruel!' she thought.Nora entered her office and saw the documents scattered on the floor. She immediately asked, "Chelsea, what happened?""Hehe, what happened? I'm
