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

Elliot pursed his lips tightly. Avery's voice made him slowly come to his senses. He let his hand go and Hayden immediately ran upstairs!Avery did not let go of Elliot's arm. "Elliot, what were you doing! You said you wouldn't force the children! What were you doing there then?"Elliot swallowed his saliva. His voice was hoarse. He enunciated, "I-I only wanted to apologize to him.""The way you're doing it is not right. He is a child, not an adult. You were too forceful." Avery pulled him along and pressed him down on the sofa."Elliot, you were badly affected by your family. The trauma is still there now. Why did you think Hayden would reconcile with you so quickly?"Elliot lifted his head and looked at her closely."I'm not blaming you." Avery inhaled rather helplessly. "Don't be so impulsive in the future. You made Robert cry. Layla was surely frightened too." "I'm sorry." Elliot looked in the direction of the children, self-reproaching. Mrs. Cooper was carrying Robert.

At Elliot's house. He returned home and was about to head upstairs when Mrs. Scarlet called out after him."Master Elliot, there is something I wonder if you've heard about?"Elliot turned around and looked at Mrs. Scarlet. "What is it?""It's about the old mansion." Mrs. Scarlet had a heavy expression. "Your brother is planning to sell it."Elliot's gaze darkened a little. "Who did you hear it from?""My nephew is into real estate. He called and told me." Mrs. Scarlet's eyes reddened and glistened with tears. "Master Foster, your brother surely must have run out of money, which is why he is selling the mansion. Sigh! How could he bear to do it!""Are you trying to ask me to give him money?" Elliot put both hands in his pocket. He looked straight at Mrs. Scarlet.She shook her head furiously, "Of course you can't give them money! They are ungrateful people. Madam Rosalie treated them so well, yet they killed her! I thought that you might want to buy the old mansion. Even if you

Avery was confused. "Didn't you say you like Hayden the most?""Yes! I do like Hayden the best, but I only want to play for Robert, because Robert wouldn't know if I played it wrongly," Layla explained.Avery smiled. "Hayden doesn't know if you played it wrongly or not too! He doesn't know how to play the piano."Layla was stunned. "Oh, you're right! I thought that Hayden was a superhero. He knows how to do everything! Hehe!"Then, she happily pulled Hayden upstairs.Avery smiled helplessly."Avery, didn't you say you were dealing with the time difference? Go shower and get some rest," Mrs. Cooper said."Hmm." Avery returned to her bedroom and went to her closet to take her pajamas.Her abdomen was in sudden throbbing pain. She immediately held onto the closet door for support and slowly bent her back.She gasped for air and her face instantly turned pale!Although she was in a lot of pain, she was not afraid. That was because the pain was familiar to her.After giving bir

At the Starry River Villa, Avery was in her bed, feeling listless. That morning, since her abdomen was in so much pain, she took a painkiller.Previously, whenever she took painkillers, the pain would quickly stop. However, that day, her abdomen was extremely painful. After taking painkillers, it only subsided a little, so she did not go to work that day.In such a situation, even being in bed was uncomfortable for her, let alone going to work.After the call with her receptionist, she got down from the bed. She wanted to drink some hot water.She went to the living area and saw Mrs. Cooper hanging up her call frantically."Avery, why are you out of bed?" Mrs. Cooper asked worriedly. "If you're not feeling well, you should rest in bed.""I'm a little thirsty," Avery said, "I'm feeling much better compared to this morning.""I'll bring you a thermos of hot water." Mrs. Cooper went to look for the thermos. "By the way, Master Foster called just now. He said he was coming over."A

"He knows nothing. We can fight in a softer voice, and it would not even scare him," Avery said quickly but in a hushed tone.Sure enough, Robert still looked adorable. He did not understand what they were talking about.Avery took a teether and put it in Robert's hand. Robert put the teether in his mouth and munched on it."Do you want to carry Robert?" Elliot wanted to cheer her up.Avery replied, "I'm too weak."Elliot said, "Do you want some water?"Avery replied, "I'm not thirsty.""I brought the presents here. Let me show you," Elliot said, about to go to get the presents.Avery saw him pacing back and forth with Robert in his arms. He said, "You're carrying Robert, can't you just sit still? If I want to see the presents, I'll go see them myself."Elliot heard what she said and sat down next to her."Just say that you bought the presents. Don't mention me," Elliot reminded."I will help you pass the presents to the children. Don't you worry about the rest." Avery looke

Back at the Starry River Villa, Avery was feeling much better compared to during the day.Aside from feeling a little exhausted, her stomach did not hurt anymore.After having a warm and pleasant dinner, she brought the two children to the living room and took out the gifts both she and Elliot had prepared for them.Elliot asked her not to tell them that those gifts were from him, but she could not fulfill that request of his because she did not want to lie to the children."Why are there four gifts, Mommy?" Layla's eyes sparkled as she looked at the four gift boxes.She was very excited to open all the gifts."Mommy bought these two, and Daddy bought the other two." Avery made a point to pay special attention to Hayden's expression when she said that.When Hayden heard the word 'Daddy', his warm expression turned cold in an instant."Let's open the gifts and see what's inside!" Avery picked up the gift that Elliot bought first because she knew that Hayden would leave if he ope
