Chapter 764
The way Chelsea saw it, Hayden Tate was young, but he was smarter than a typical adult.On the other hand, Avery's daughter was just an average innocent little child.It would be easier to handle Layla.Charlie went into deep thought after hearing Chelsea's suggestion.This was a risky move. He did not dare make that move easily without absolute certainty.At 7 a.m. the next morning, Avery walked into the nursery.The baby was still asleep, but Mrs. Cooper had already woken up."Thanks for last night, Mrs. Cooper. You can go and rest now. I'll watch him during the day," Avery said."Alright. He had milk three times last night. He's got a good appetite, and he's quite strong," Mrs. Cooper said with a chuckle. "He's a good baby. He only cries when he's hungry, and falls asleep right after he has his milk.""Hayden was like that at his age, too. Layla was a little noisier, though," Avery said.Mrs. Cooper froze for a moment, then said, "Avery, Layla and Hayden are Master Elliot'

Suddenly, the wailing sounds of a baby's cry brought her back to reality.Robert was probably crying because of the noise outside.Avery quickly picked him out of the cradle.The moment he was in his mother's arms, Robert instantly stopped crying."You big brother and sister are playing in the snow outside, Robert. You'll play with them once you grow bigger, okay?" Avery stood by the window as she carried her son and looked at the scenery outside.Robert could not be held upright yet, so his twinkling black eyes were fixed on Avery's face in fascination."Are you hungry, sweetie? I think it's been two hours since your last feeding… I'll go make you some milk." Avery carried him to the crib and placed him inside.The nanny wanted to help, but she found that Avery was an expert at both handling the baby and making milk. There was no room for anyone else to interfere."You're amazing, Miss Tate. You're so good at everything," praised the nanny.Avery accepted the praise, then ask

In truth, Avery felt uneasy. Her senses told her that so long as Elliot's issue wasn't resolved, bringing the child over to pressure him would only make things worse.She regretted it as soon as she stepped foot into the living room of Elliot's mansion, but Mrs. Scarlet was extremely pleased to see Robert.Mrs. Scarlet accepted Robert from Avery's arms and played with him for a while, before passing him back to Avery."Avery, Mr. Foster is upstairs. He's only had some soup tonight. That can't possibly be enough, but he won't even take another bite of food. I'm not sure if he's resting or in the study room right now," Mrs. Scarlet said as she led the way, "watch your steps while you are carrying the child.""Mrs. Scarlet, maybe it's best that I don't disturb him," Avery said hesitantly, "I'm worried that it would only increase his burden if he sees Robert."Mrs. Scarlet was slightly stunned at her words, but then proceeded to say, "but what if he finds relief in seeing Robert? He i

Avery turned around with Robert in her arms and was about to leave, when she heard Elliot coughing.She immediately stopped on her track.Elliot didn't cough all that often and would only do so when he was ill.She strode to the stairs where Mrs. Scarlet was waiting and handed Robert to her, before turning around to head back into the study room. She strolled towards him and studied his flushed cheeks resulting from the constant coughing.There was a strong emotion in the air that no one could label, but it felt like something would explode at the softest touch."Are you sick?" Avery asked and reached up to touch his forehead to test his temperature.Elliot took a few steps back. "It's just a cold. I don't have a fever."Avery closed in on him and asked, "did you ask me to take Robert away because you are sick and don't want him to catch it, not because you don't want to see him?"He stared at her with dark, brooding eyes and answered honestly, "both. Who asked you here?""No

After she left, Elliot called the family doctor once again and said, "I'm fine. You don't have to come now."The doctor was slightly confused. "Mr. Foster, I'm already on the way there. Why don't I come and have a look?"Elliot hung up. He reached up to touch his forehead and noticed that his skin was slightly hot to the touch.He did not realize that he had a fever before Avery arrived. Though he did feel unwell, it did not affect his work; after Avery's visit, however, he felt as though all strength had been drained from him.He lied down on the bed and tried to empty out his emotions, but no matter how many times he tried, his effort ended in failure.Whenever he tried to forget about what happened earlier, Robert's face would appear in his mind.Robert's adorable, little face, and his bright, curious eyes were like a blinding ray of light that pierced through the darkness.By the time the doctor arrived at Elliot's mansion, Elliot's had already drifted off to sleep.The doc

Because Robert was identical to Elliot. If Shea was still alive and saw Robert, she would have spoiled the boy senseless.A young woman as kind as Shea would never want to see Elliot keeping a distance from his son because of her.Mrs. Scarlet left the dining room after saying what she had to say.The spoon in Elliot's hand dropped into the bowl at the news that Avery had taken Robert to Bridgedale.'She must be really mad to leave in such a hurry,' he thought.Avery told him that she would raise Robert on her own; she took the boy away with her to Bridgedale so that he wouldn't have to see him. Elliot felt like he was supposed to be relieved, but he simply couldn't feel the slightest joy.The thought of rushing to Bridgedale to find her even came across his mind, but was soon rejected.'It's a good thing that she took him away,' he thought, 'that way, I will have time to cool down and keep check of my emotions.'…It was a spontaneous decision for Avery to take Robert to Brid

Hayden was immediately alerted because he had been stalked before. He took out his phone and called Eric.His phone was a gift from Eric; it was a cell phone tailor-made for children and Eric even saved his personal number in the phone.Hayden told Eric about being followed and Eric immediately arranged a few bodyguards to wait for Hayden where he got out of the taxi.The black car that was following Hayden raced by him as soon as he got out of the car, as though to make a statement that it was not following him, but simply happened to be driving on the same road."Are you here alone? Why didn't you bring your bodyguard?" Eric took Hayden's hand and took him into the building, where Eric and Layla trained for the entertainment company."It's new year soon and I told my bodyguard to go on leave," Hayden said."Your mom is going to be worried if she finds out." Eric remained thoughtful for a moment, before suggesting, "that person who was following you must have known that you don'

Seeing the determination in Layla's eyes, Hayden simply said, "Good luck."Meanwhile, Cole stood in front of the office window and watched as the neon lights lit up the city. The bustling night view outside signaled the start of the night life.Had it been any time before, he would have left the office and headed out to enjoy the night life; but today, he was not in the mood.He had been forced into bankruptcy by his own uncle and would be bearing a tremendous amount of debt.He did regret what he had done, but mostly, he resented it all.He had been leading a comfortable life as Elliot's nephew, and yet, it was as easy as killing a bug for Elliot to crush him.For the past few days, Cole watched his own father called Elliot countless times, begging for mercy in order to salvage the situation. His father had hoped that Elliot would forgive him for the sake of their kinship, but Elliot would either refuse the call or transfer the call to his assistant.'Elliot is merciless! My ow
