"I haven't. Did you have anything in mind?" Elliot asked.Avery's heart tightened in her chest, and she hesitantly said, "Rowan Tate."Elliot put down the menu. His hawk-like eyes bore into her as he said, "Are you serious?""Both Hayden and Layla have my last name. The child would be confused if he had a different last name." Avery's cheeks flushed as she shared her thoughts. "Of course, I would respect your opinion.""If you're worried that the baby would be confused, then you could just change Hayden and Layla's last names. I don't mind them taking my last name."Elliot's response was so casual that it almost felt like he was joking.He ordered his food, then handed the menu to the waiter.The waiter confirmed their order and walked away."Since you don't agree, then let's just name him Rowan Foster!" said Avery, compromising. She was happy enough with the custody of the baby."I'm not disagreeing." Elliot raised his brows and looked at her with fascination. "Let the baby

Avery was sorting the baby's clothes in the master bedroom of Starry River Villa.Tammy was sitting leisurely next to her and watching her tidy away all the clothes."Do you seriously plan to raise the baby yourself, Avery? That would be exhausting!"Avery folded each piece of clothing, one by one, and said gently, "That's true. My mother was the one who helped me with the kids before. I've never really had to go through that kind of exhaustion.""That's right. Your mother's gone, and I bet you wouldn't feel secure leaving the baby with the nanny," Tammy said. "You said Elliot is moving in. Is that for real?""That's what he said." Avery placed the clothes in the closet, then said, "I'll let him do what he wants.""If that's the case, then how would that be any different from a normal married couple?!" Tammy exclaimed, then teased, "Oh, I guess there is a difference. The difference is that he's moving into your house and not the other way around."The mention of Elliot made Aver

Cole could clearly see that the areas on Nora's face that the liquid had touched were turning red, and they began festering.He took a few steps back in fear, then stammered, "Don't be scared, Nora! I'll… I'll call an ambulance right away!"The other customers in the restaurant scurried away in horror, and the restaurant's staff hurried over to check on the situation.Their faces turned pale with terror when they saw Nora's face.Nora's face was covered with tears. Through her blurred vision, she saw the fear in the eyes of the people that stared at her. She removed her trembling hands from her face and looked at them…There was blood… There were also what looked like pieces of flesh…As if she had gone insane, she let out a blood-curdling scream.…Avery was eating ice cream when she got Cole's phone call.The restaurant's food was great, and their ice cream was even better.Avery always watched what she ate, but the ice cream was so good that she could not help but take a f

When Avery glanced at her phone, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she answered the call."Avery!" Elliot's roar rang through the phone.Avery was taken aback, then asked, "What's wrong?""You're alright?" He sounded surprised to hear her voice. "You're alright, Avery!""I'm fine. Were you hoping something happened to me?" Avery teased. "Who told you I wasn't alright?""Someone saw you at a restaurant and said you were in trouble." Elliot's voice returned to its usual calm. "It's a good thing it wasn't you.""Oh. If that's the case, the woman must look a lot like me… Could she have been Nora?" Avery had deliberately said this.Elliot was not interested in this at all. "I don't care who it was, as long as it wasn't you."Avery hummed in response. "Where are you right now?" Elliot asked after two seconds of silence."I'm eating with Tammy.""Did you bring your bodyguard?" he asked."I did," Avery said as she glanced at the bodyguard standing nearby."Go home once you're done

After hearing Chelsea's accusation, Elliot glanced at Avery.She was in the middle of telling the hair stylist the length she wanted cut off."I suggest you file a police report immediately and let them handle it." He walked out of the salon with his phone and said in a low and ominous voice, "So what if Avery actually did it? If I were her, I'd be a lot crueler."Chelsea felt lightheaded.She did not expect this kind of answer from Elliot."For now, I don't have evidence to prove that the person who impersonated Avery was your cousin, but that doesn't mean I don't know who was behind it," growled Elliot. "I won't show you mercy once I have proof, Chelsea."Forget disfigurement, he would not feel bad even if Nora was dead!The way he saw it, even if Nora had died a hundred deaths, it would still not be enough!Chelsea hung up out of fear.She might have really messed up this time!She recalled Ben's warning.She actually was gullible enough to think that she understood Ellio
Chapter 690
Elliot felt that Avery was overreacting, so he sat down next to her.When the nanny came over with the bowl of soup, she saw that their eyes were glued to each other. She quickly placed the soup on the table and left."If he really is tired, then he can rest at home for as long as he wants. I have no opinion." Elliot was worried that Hayden might hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's been a month since school started. Hasn't he had enough rest after staying home for a month?""I'll go talk to him later." Avery picked up her bowl of soup and ate a spoonful of it."He might not be tired, but he might be hiding something from you." Elliot took the spoon out of her hand and continued, "Your son is more complicated than you think.Avery wanted to snatch the spoon back, but Elliot had already picked up a spoonful of soup and held it near her lips."I don't want you to feed me." She got the spoon back with reddened cheeks. "I called his teacher and spoke to her about it. She

They needed evidence to bring down Chelsea."Sweetie, when Elliot Foster came over today, he said you hid in your room when you saw him," Avery said worriedly. "This is your home. You don't need to hide from him.""I wasn't hiding," Hayden said as his brows furrowed. "I just don't want to see him.""He's planning on moving in to help with your little brother once he's born." Avery was in a dilemma, and she sighed. "Would that make things hard on you?"Hayden's brows furrowed even more tightly as he said, "I'll just ignore him!""Thanks, sweetie." Avery patted her son's shoulder with a pained expression on her face. "I don't want him to move in either, but he thinks your little brother will need his care. The baby doesn't just belong to me, so I couldn't refuse him."Hayden took a deep breath, then said, "Don't worry, Mommy. I won't acknowledge him! Layla also won't! I won't let our little brother acknowledge him either!"Avery was stunned."What did I want to talk to Hayden abo

"Why's her phone off?" Avery mumbled softly to herself, then walked out of the house."Are you going out, Avery?" When the nanny saw her on the move, she quickly followed her."Tammy said she was coming over but she's still not here yet. Even if there's traffic, she should be here by now." Avery walked past the front gates and looked around.The nanny comforted her and said, "Maybe she's gone to buy presents! She always brings all kinds of presents when she comes over."The nanny's consoling words made Avery relax slightly."It's windy out here, Avery. Let's get back inside!" The nanny was worried that Avery would catch a cold. "Mr. Foster especially asked me to take good care of you and not let you get sick.""I stay at home every day now. I'm like a flower in a greenhouse. I'd get sick easier that way.""You still shouldn't be out here in this wind!" The nanny helped Avery back into the house. "It's easy to get sick when the seasons change.""Is lunch ready?" Avery asked."I
