Chad nodded: "You know Mr. Foster's temperament. He ain't afraid of Avery finding out."A blissful day had gone by in the blink of an eye.At dusk, Elliot planned to treat everyone to dinner.Layla had enjoyed her time in the park for the day. She had a blast and at the same time, she was starving.That was why she had no objection to Elliot's invitation to dinner.At that moment, Mike's phone beeped.Mike whipped out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the number, he made a 'shush' sign with his index finger. "It's Avery. Everyone, be quiet."He answered the phone as soon as he saw their nods. "Hi, Avery. Were you trying to make a video call with Layla? We're outside now! Once we get home, we'll give you a call back, alright?""I'm back in the state and I'm at home now." Avery's voice was slow and steady, never pushy. "Bring Layla back, will ya?"Mike was stunned at the request. Before he had time to emanate his shock, Avery had hung up."F*ck me!" Mike's face turned red

Elliot was here.Everyone was surprised.Avery hated him and didn't want to see him. That much was clear in her heart.His pride was so strong. Why would he have served himself up on a plate to be humiliated?Elliot pushed open the car door and stepped out of the car.He stood at the gates of the courtyard. He saw Chad striding out of the villa."Sir, let's go back!" Chad opened the courtyard gate and walked to him. Feeling embarrassed, he said, "She doesn't want to see you. I was kicked out too."In fact, it was not as serious as Chad put it.Avery had given him a chance to redeem himself. As long as he managed to get Elliot to go back, she wouldn't hold him accountable for taking Layla to Dream City today.The reason why he ramped up the seriousness of the matter was for Elliot to leave quickly."She hasn't been blaming Layla, has she?" Elliot was concerned."Nope. After all, Layla is still a kid. Even if she made a mistake, Avery wouldn't blame her. You don't have to worr

Mike said, "That's perfectly fine. With your brother's good looks, I'm sure there will be girls who will pursue him. Even if he can't find a girlfriend, you can still find a boyfriend."Layla was silenced.Hayden put down the knife and fork with a sullen face. "Boring."After Hayden left the table, Avery followed, having completed her meal.Due to jet lag, she wasn't feeling too well.She tidied up her bedroom and then lay on the bed.She turned on her phone, intending to text Tammy Lynch that she was back.However, dozens of messages from Elliot Foster greeted her instead.She froze for a moment, before opening up the messaging box.Everything he had sent was Layla's pictures in Dream City earlier in the day.In each photo, Layla's smile was bright and she was full of joy.After browsing through all the photos, she saved the better ones in her gallery. She exited the messaging app.She didn't know what to say to him. The time they parted at the airport seemed like it was only yesterda

While passing by a fine dining place, Tammy's eyes were attracted by a luxury car parked outside the restaurant.Tammy had an idea. "Avery, let's splurge on a nice meal!"Avery was looking at her phone when she responded, "Sure thing. Let me treat you."Tammy drove the car near the entrance of the upscale restaurant and stopped the engine. After getting off, she gave the key to the valet.Avery put away her phone and noticed the restaurant. "Oh, this place. I've been here before. The food is really good.""When was it? I haven't had the chance to visit it much! Not only is the price high, but we also have to make a reservation in advance. Otherwise, you won't even get the chance to taste their signature dishes."Avery thought about it, and her face was hiding her feelings. "It was with Elliot.""Oh, no wonder! A person like him would visit all the expensive spots. I guess when the two of you were dating, you have checked in at every single high-end place in town.""Not to that

Avery's head started to hurt. "If you didn't have it in the kitchen, you could have just told me that. Why did you have to go to him about it?""I'm so sorry! I thought that you were very close to Mr. Foster as you came here with him before. Your friend seemed upset, so I..." The manager said.Avery interrupted him. "How much is the dish?""It's been paid for by Mr. Foster," the manager said with a smile, "You can transfer the money back to him if you don't want to accept it. The price of this dish is 58888 dollars.""???" Avery had known that this restaurant was famous for the red lobster and that it was more expensive compared to other restaurants, but she had not expected this to cost so much.Seeing that she was stunned, the manager immediately explained, "This red lobster is different from the rest. It's top tier and we haven't caught a red lobster with such high quality for a really long time now."Avery took a deep breath and waved at him. "I get it."Once the manager lef

"When I say take care of him, I don't mean to let him do whatever he wants; I mean to increase the level of difficulty in his studies so that he can learn more... He is my son, so he should be just like me, which means the harder it gets, the faster he grows.""Alright. We will keep you posted on matters regarding Hayden's study from now on.""Yeah. The tutor I hired will be here tonight. I will provide you with his contact and he will take the elite class to participate in the International Hacking and Programming Contest," Elliot said.He had laid out the path for Hayden to become the best on the international scale. He had no expectation as to how much his son would earn, but he believed that to be Hayden's target as well; as a father, he had to work hard to help him achieve it."You are definitely a good father, Mr. Foster. It's a shame that Hayden is too young to appreciate what you've done for him," the man said, "He will understand someday when he grows up.""I hope so!" El

Tammy was just mocking the fact that Elliot had to pay with his card. She had not expected that it wasn't his bill he was paying for, but theirs. Though he didn't speak to them at all, he had paid their bills.Avery hurried to Tammy and said, "I'm going to go out for a bit. Wait here for me."Before Tammy could react, Avery was already striding out.As she had expected, Elliot was waiting outside the restaurant. It seemed as though he was certain that she would come out to find him, and the feeling of being manipulated brought a frown to her face.Their eyes met and he instantly faced her.Emotions boiled within her.'Did he think that sending me my daughter's photos and paying my bills are going to erase everything that had happened?' She thought.She stood by the restaurant's door and unlocked her phone, before locating his account number and making a transaction.Once she had completed transferring all the money for the restaurant's bill, she headed back inside without looki

He let out a breath of relief when he heard her response. He didn't want anything; he just wanted her to speak to him."You didn't reply to my messages." He felt so clumsy when he was standing before her."Then don't send me messages." She gave him a cold look and got into the car.The red BNW's engine rumbled and turned swiftly, before racing off into the distance.Once they were on the highway, Tammy asked, "Avery, have you fallen for him again? You look just like me when I couldn't sleep for nights in a row."Avery lowered her head as she was not in the mood for a discussion."I checked Elliot out carefully just now and realized that he sure maintains himself well! He looks so handsome for his age that he doesn't even look any different from the first time I saw him..."Avery interrupted her and said, "Tammy, how old do you think he is?""Forty?""Probably not that old." Avery scowled. "Definitely not forty. I should know if he is.""Why? Is there supposed to be a grand ce
