Chapter 843
If Layla found out that her father was about to return to Aryadelle to marry another woman, she would be devastated!Once Hayden found out about this, he would definitely despise Elliot even more.Was Elliot really doing this for the sake of profit? If not, then why was he doing it?He had said himself that he did not love Chelsea.Was money more important than love and their three children?Avery could not understand Elliot's decision.He was more than capable of earning his own money, and a lot of it at that. Her company was also steadily making a profit. How much money did he need to finally be satisfied?Tears streamed down Avery's cheeks and soaked her pillow.When there were no longer any sounds coming from outside the door, she turned on her back and stared at the ceiling as she cried silently.Downstairs, once Elliot was done with breakfast, he picked Robert up in his arms.Robert's glistening black eyes were fixed on his father's face, and Elliot wondered what he was

Avery never believed in fate.Even if life wanted to stop her, she would never give in that easily.She opened the car door then stepped into the cold winter snow without hesitation.She ran frantically toward the airport.There was only one ending she wanted. She was not going to let Elliot go just like that!At the VIP waiting lounge at the airport, Elliot lifted his wrist and checked the time on his watch.His flight was one in the afternoon. There was another hour until the plane would take off.He stood by the giant windows and his heart felt as cold as the fluttering snowfall outside.If there was any other way, he would never do anything to hurt Avery and the children.Being cruel to her and the children was the same as being cruel to himself. He would be in more agony than them.Charlie had something on Elliot and was now forcing him to marry Chelsea. He had no other choice.If he did not act out this play, there would be no end to the torment he would have to endure

After Avery spoke, the security personnel reminded Elliot that it was time to board the plane."I need to head back to Aryadelle to settle some things, Avery. Please give me some time…""I won't! If I give you time, then you'll go and marry Chelsea! I won't accept you marrying another woman, Elliot! It doesn't matter if it's with Chelsea or anybody else! As long as I'm not the bride, I won't allow it!" Avery clenched her teeth, then said, "If you leave today, you can forget about ever seeing me or the kids ever again!"Since her begging did not work, she could only resort to threatening him.If the Tierneys were using something to threaten or lure him, then she could threaten him, too!She refused to believe that the Tierneys had a bigger bargaining chip than she did.Elliot's eyes were reddened and glistening with tears as he gazed at Avery with a pained expression on his face.He had gone from being forcibly calm to teary-eyed in a matter of seconds.Avery had pushed him to t

By the time Avery walked her way back home, it was already evening.The weather was not great today, and it had turned dark outside earlier.Mrs. Cooper was shocked to see her drenched and in a daze."What happened, Avery?" Mrs. Cooper held Avery's hand. "Did you not want Master Elliot to leave? Don't be like that. You can go back to Aryadelle whenever you want, right?"Avery shook her head, then croaked, "Where are the kids?""Robert is sleeping. Layla and Hayden are taking a shower. They were making a snowman in the front yard earlier and got soaked," said Mrs. Cooper. "You're drenched, Avery. Go and take a hot shower. Do you need my help?"Avery shook her head, then turned away and headed toward the bedroom.Mrs. Cooper was worried and followed behind her."By the way, don't mention Elliot Foster in front of the children ever again." Avery stopped in her tracks, then turned to Mrs. Cooper and continued, "We broke up. You and Mrs. Scarlet work for him…"She could not bring h

Mrs. Cooper was going to Avery's room to get Elliot's suitcase to hand over to Mrs. Scarlet.She figured that Avery would not want to see Elliot's things. Instead of throwing it out, it would be better to let Mrs. Scarlet take them with her.Mrs. Cooper knocked on the door, then walked into the room."I already gave Master Elliot my resignation, Avery." She sat by the bed, saw that Avery's eyes were open, then continued, "I'm here to take his suitcase for Mrs. Scarlet to bring back with her."Avery's complexion was haggard, but her tone was certain as she said, "Since you've already resigned, don't contact him again from now on. Don't even send him any photos of Robert.""Alright.""I've already packed his things. The suitcase by the desk is his." Avery had a fever the night before and took some medication when she woke up. When she saw Elliot's suitcase, she stuffed all of his things inside of it."You don't look so good, Avery. You should get some more sleep," Mrs. Cooper said

"Did you meet her?" Elliot picked up a cigarette and held it between his fingers."I did." Ben saw that Elliot did not lose his temper, so the rage inside of him calmed down quite a bit.He even lit his cigarette for him when he saw that he didn't have a lighter."She was the one who called me." Ben took a seat next to Elliot, picked up a cigarette from the coffee table, and lit it. "Does she have something on you?"Elliot lowered his gaze slightly and then said bitterly, "Not her.""Oh. The Tierneys have something on you? I was thinking, the Chelsea I know wouldn't have the guts to show up in public with the way she looks right now. Even if she really wanted to marry you, she wouldn't want a big wedding."Elliot turned to Ben and asked, "What does she look like now?""It's hard to describe. I panic every time I think about her face," Ben said through gritted teeth as he snapped his cigarette in half. "All of the love and hate in the past have paled. I can't tell what she's feel
Chapter 849
No matter how you looked at it, Elliot was in the wrong this time.Even if there was something he could not talk about, what did Avery do wrong to deserve this?Mike got into the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt, then remembered what Mrs. Cooper asked him to do.He pulled out his phone and called Tammy.Over in Bridgedale, Tammy immediately drove over to Avery's place after receiving Mike's call.Avery had taken medication for her fever the night before, but her fever only subsided temporarily. In the morning, her fever came back.She had planned on explaining the change in her relationship with Elliot to the children after she got up that morning.However, she was worried that she would pass her fever to the children, so she spent the entire time resting in her room.After Tammy entered the room, she shut the door behind her.Avery heard her and opened her eyes."Are you not feeling well, Avery?" Tammy approached the bed and touched Avery's forehead. "You're a littl

Tammy felt she was being too cruel.She could have waited until Avery had recovered and let her tell the children about the matter herself, but she could not bring herself to let the children stay in the dark."Hayden told me about it this morning, Aunt Tammy." The moment Layla spoke, her eyes reddened. "I won't trust Daddy anymore. He's a bad man!"Tammy pulled Layla into her arms and cooed, "Don't cry, Layla. Even without your father, you still have your Mommy, your brother, and me. We will always love you.""I'm mad at Daddy for lying to me." Layla rubbed her eyes, then said, "I'm also mad that he made Mommy sad. Mommy's so upset that she got sick. I can't cry… Mommy would be even sadder if I cried."Tears were streaming down her face as she said those words."I'll try to cry softer…" she sobbed.Tammy's heart was breaking. "Let's stop crying after this, sweetie. That dirtbag isn't worth your tears. He could be living his best life in Aryadelle right now!"Layla felt betraye
