The car window rolled down and Mike's face appeared in front of them."Hey! You two! What are you doing in front of the office? Sunbathing?" Mike teased, "It's almost lunch. I suggest that you two find a restaurant to sit down and slowly fight it out. It's bad to fight in front of the office."Avery's expressions turned a little colder.Elliot said, "Lunch?"Avery replied, "I'm not having it with you." Then, she turned around and headed back to the office.Mike honked and said to Elliot, "Buy me lunch!"Elliot swept him a cold glance and planned to leave."Buy me lunch and I'll bring back lunch for Avery too!" Mike called out after him. Elliot stopped in his tracks.They found a restaurant nearby and sat down. Mike ordered food for Avery and wrote her number down. He got the waiter to directly deliver it to her.Elliot furrowed his brows. "You're exposing her privacy!"Mike tutted. "Avery always orders from here!"Elliot was speechless."Do you think that everyone is like y

"What about my thoughts?" Avery pushed Mike's hand away. "Since when has he ever considered my thoughts?"Mike was a little baffled. "Why don't you call him and ask?"Avery said, "Why should I call him? If he wanted to know what my thoughts are, why doesn't he ask me himself?"Mike said, "Oh, should I get him to call you?""Mike, whose side are you on?""Yours, of course! If I was on Elliot's side, I would help him pursue you no matter what! If not, he wouldn't be in so much pain now."Avery did not doubt Mike's loyalty to her."I'm planning to go to Bridgedale. The company is doing fine recently. The children are doing quite well. I'll go there and come back soon," Avery said.Mike said, "What? Are you going to see that patient? It takes a day for you to go there and return. The children's birthday is in a few days. Do you want to go after the birthday party instead?"Avery thought about this. Adrian has called her twice. She did indeed want to go and have a look and see what

At that moment, a huge hand patted Ben on his shoulders from behind.Ben pursed his lips. His body stiffened. He slowly turned around."Ben, Mr. Foster doesn't like noise. Please be quieter," Elliot's bodyguard gently reminded him.Ben could see Elliot's darkened expression from nearby. He felt as if someone had shot him in the knee. He wanted to kneel on the ground. He was bad-mouthing Avery and their relationship so loudly just now. Elliot must have heard it! He must have!"Elliot!" Ben forced a wide and apologetic smile."F*ck off!" Elliot spat. The bodyguard immediately got Ben to leave.…Ben got in the car. He sighed."Ben." Chad's voice came from his phone. At that moment, Ben realized that he did not hang up the call! When Elliot chased him away just now, Chad heard it all.Sigh! His ego is now deeply bruised."Are you going to laugh at me?" Ben was bitterly upset."No, but you should consider my suggestion seriously. Avery is quite nice. You haven't spent much time

"Avery, what are you doing?" Elliot's voice was hoarse and cold.Avery could hear that Elliot had just gotten up because his tone was rather emotional."I'm going to Bridgedale to tend to something." Avery went past security and headed inside. "It's early. Who told you I'm going abroad?"Elliot did not answer her question, but asked, "It's almost the children's birthday. Do you have to go to Bridgedale now? Is there something urgent?"If it was as usual, Avery might have said that he was being nosy. However, at that moment, she was strangely calm. She did not want to fight with him over such a small thing.Elliot was asking her all these questions out of concern."It's nothing urgent," Avery said calmly, "Elliot, these are my private affairs. I don't need to tell you. I will be back before the children's birthday."Elliot rubbed the middle of his brow. He calmed down. "As long as you're fine.""Hmm, go back to bed. I'm about to board." Avery lowered her gaze. She thought about

Adrian must be delighted, right? Although his family might not welcome her that happily, they were all polite people. They would most probably not chase her away.When she passed by a florist, Avery stopped her car by the side of the road. She picked a fresh bouquet of carnations. After paying, she entered her car with the bouquet in her hands.She was once again on the road. She needed to go past two traffic lights and go forward for another two kilometers or so before she would reach the Whites.She was humming a song. It was green all the way. The traffic was smooth all the way to the Whites.She parked her car outside the Whites' courtyard.She got out of the car and saw that the gate was locked. She looked at the shut door of the mansion too. It seemed like no one was home.She furrowed her brows and fished her phone out. She found Nathan, Adrian's father's contact, and dialed him.She had thought of the worst-case scenario. Perhaps Nathan had blocked her number. However, t

Avery returned to her car. She unlocked her phone and dialed Adrian."Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later."She had a strong feeling that it was not Adrian who switched off his phone. Avery's brows throbbed. She dialed Nathan."Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try again later."Avery's heart sank!What was he trying to do? Before the surgery, she felt that he was still quite normal.At that moment, with what the neighbor told her, she shuddered.Did he move houses to prevent her from looking for them or did he plan it a long time ago, waiting for Adrian's condition to become better then move?However, why did they have to move right after Adrian's condition got better? Where did they move to?Avery was lost. She picked up her bottle of water and drank some water. After calming down, she looked through her contacts and found the contact of Nathan's friend who introduced her to Nathan.This friend was the family

Should he let Elliot in or not?Mike did not have any grudges against Elliot. If it were not for Avery, Mike would have welcomed him in.Just as Mike was pondering this question, the bodyguard walked over and opened the door for Elliot.Mike was bewildered.If Avery was home. She would surely loudly question the bodyguard, "Whose side are you on?"Mike had been questioned by her more than once."Avery's not home, so you've become the master of the house!" Mike said sarcastically to the bodyguard.The bodyguard looked indignant. "Even if I don’t open the door, you will open it. We'll just say that you opened it later."Mike said, "Not only will you act first and ask for forgiveness later, but you also know how to shift the blame!"The bodyguard ignored him, turned around, and left.Elliot approached Mike and asked, "Are the children home?"Mike raised his eyebrows. "I knew you came here for the children. Don't you find it embarrassing? You're the high and mighty President of

Avery pushed the door open and instantly saw a heartwarming scene in front of her.Elliot was carrying Robert, standing in the living area. Layla was holding her new toy, and talking to Robert.Mrs. Cooper was standing by the side looking at them, smiling.Avery stood by the entrance. Her feet felt like lead. Elliot, who was holding Robert, looked tender and fatherly. If she told others that he was an aloof and violent man, no one would believe her.Elliot suddenly saw her. His smile instantly plastered onto his face. He never thought that she would return so quickly. No one told her that she would return that day.If Mike knew that she returned today, he would not have abandoned the children to go for a play.Mrs. Cooper was stunned when she saw her. It was almost a reflex. She immediately took Robert from Elliot."Mommy!" A loud sound came from behind Avery. It was Hayden.The bodyguard parked the car, Hayden immediately pushed the car door open and got out of the car. He ran
