Chapter 808
Elliot was afraid that once he saw Avery and the children, he would be too engrossed in the happiness that he would not be able to calmly face the darkness behind him.He did not want his terrible problems to affect her and the children.Avery looked at Elliot remaining silent. She could see the complicated gaze he had. She could not read his expressions.She thought that as long as she took the initiative to invite him and be the first one to admit defeat, he would accept it. However, why was he remaining silent?What was he thinking about?"It's fine if you're not free." Avery could not stand such endless silence and speculation, so she said, "Layla said that you were spending the New Year alone, so I…""Do you wish for me to come over?" Elliot interrupted her.If he rejected her, she would be sad. The thing that he did not want to see the most was her being sad.Avery blushed at his question. She had already openly invited him, yet he still wanted her to express her opinion

Since she was the one that invited Elliot over when he arrived, he would most likely stay with them. It was easier for him to spend time with the children that way too.Avery carried Robert to the hall. Mrs. Cooper immediately went forward to take Robert from Avery."Mommy, who called you just now?" Layla has finished her meal. She got down from her chair and went up to Avery."Your father," Avery said. She held Layla's hand and headed to the dining hall. "He has decided to come to spend the New Year with us."In the dining hall, everyone heard what Avery said."Avery, are you saying Elliot is coming?" Mike asked loudly."Hmm. He is going to board the plane soon.""Oh, then what about Chad? Is Chad with him?" Mike was not concerned for Elliot. He only cared about Chad.Avery said, "I didn't ask him about this. Why don't you call Chad and ask?"Mike replied, "Forget about it. I doubt he will come. He said that he is spending time with his parents during the holidays.""Hmm. Tr

Avery did not understand what Mike was trying to say. "What will happen to me when he comes?"Mike said, "What do you think? We don't have any extra rooms in our house. The room that you brought Tammy to is so small. Tammy might still be able to stay in it, how could Elliot take it?"Avery said, "If it's fine with Tammy, why can't he stay? If he thinks that the living conditions here are not great, he can book a five-star hotel outside."Mike raised his brows and looked at her.Avery turned sheepish. "What are you looking at me for! We'll see about it when he comes. Maybe he won't stay with us. Maybe he'll head to the hotel once he lands."Mike responded lightly, "Oh," before asking, "How long is he here for?""He didn't say. Is this important? He won't be here for the rest of his life.""I'm only casually asking, why are you so worked up?" Mike continued to measure her up with a meaningful gaze. "Why did he suddenly decide to come over? Why did he not come yesterday! Don't tell
Chapter 811
At five minutes past midnight, Elliot landed at the airport in Bridgedale. Mike was at the airport to pick him up. It was not Avery that told him to pick Elliot up, but Chad called him to make sure he picked Elliot up at the airport.As for where to send Elliot to after picking him up, Chad said that he was to send Elliot back to Avery's house, to let Avery arrange the next part, so after Mike picked Elliot up, he sent him back home.At that moment, the bodyguard, servants, and the children have gone to bed. However, Avery was waiting in the living area.When Mike saw her, he yawned. "I've picked him up, I don't think there is anything I need to do anymore, right?"Avery ignored him.Elliot was looking at Avery closely. There was no one else in his view. Mike felt as if he was nothing at that moment. He felt awkward and aggrieved at the same time. He said, "So, I'll go back to my room?"Still, no one responded to him. He slipped back to his room and planned to complain about

Avery's room was filled with children's daily amenities. It was obvious that she cared for her children. If she had planned to let him stay in her room, she would have cleared it up.Avery hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to be honest with him. "This house isn't that big. Now that there is another baby around, so I hired a nanny. Although the security here is not bad, for the sake of safety, I hired a bodyguard. They take turns staying over daily…"Avery explained so much when she was only trying to say one thing."If there isn't any extra room, I can go to a hotel." Elliot did not want to trouble Avery."It's not that there isn't any extra room…" Avery lowered her gaze and said softly.If it was not that late at night, she would most likely get him to stay at the hotel already. He came over this time without a bodyguard. It was already so late at night. What would happen if something were to happen to him if he went out alone?Elliot was confused at Avery's answer. If

Although they did not have any obvious conflicts at the moment, in the past, they could take any single matter and fight for three days non-stop! However, after seeing Elliot, Avery calmed down. He was not there to fight with her. Perhaps the children were there, so they were not like before, losing their temper at any moment.In the nanny's room, Elliot finished his shower and walked to the bed to sit.He picked up his phone and saw a message from Chad. It was a message regarding the hotel.[Mr. Foster, I've booked you into a hotel closest to Avery's house. The hotel provides transportation too. It takes less than 10 minutes to and fro. It won't take up much of your time with the kids.]Chad could not accept that Elliot would be treated this way!It was fine if Avery did not love him, but could she not torture him?Elliot replied, [I'm staying at her place. Cancel the booking.][Didn't she put you in the nanny's room? Why doesn't she let the nanny stay there? It must be small
Chapter 814
Elliot let out a muffled harrumph. Avery did not know whether it was in response to her, or he was in pain.There was some shuffling coming from the door.Elliot looked over to see Mrs. Cooper carrying Robert while Mike carried Layla. Four of them stood outside the door, peeking into the room to check out the situation.They could actually just enter the room to have a look. Eliot did not know why they had to stand outside the door.Although it was a little embarrassing that there was a huge bump on his head, it was not that awkward that he did not dare to see anyone.Avery dressed for his bruise and kept her medical suitcase."Go have breakfast. After breakfast, I'll take you to the hospital," Avery said."I'll head there myself.""Are you familiar with the hospital here?" Avery retorted, "I know people. We can go straight to do the scan. If not, if you wait for the hospital's procedure, you might not be able to do it today."Elliot was speechless.Although he was rich, he w

Avery heard Elliot's tone. It did not sit well with her."Elliot, do all men think like you? Why would Tammy want a divorce, don't you know why? If Tammy doesn't love him, she doesn't have to worry about him being pressured by his parents…""Avery, if Jun insists on being together with Tammy, no matter who pressures him, this is something that he has thought about and feels that he could bear it. Now, whether it's Jun changing numbers or him getting married, it's his freedom."…The two of them did not argue over their own matter, but they fought because of Jun and Tammy.However, Avery soon calmed down quickly. She gave Elliot's words serious thought. After some thinking, she thought that what Elliot said made sense too."Why does everyone like to think from their own standpoint and do things that they think are good for the other party when it's actually not?" Avery lamented."Because they think that they are right," Elliot replied. "This not only applies to Jun and Tammy but
