Due to the wrinkles on her face, she looked weathered and older than her actual age.
"After | gave birth, I had to go to work and couldn't take care of my child. So after Elliot was born, Nathan's mother took care of him." Susan recalled, "After | saved smoney, | asked Nathan to letsee the child, but Nathan refused. Later, Nathan changed his contact information, and | couldn't find him. Fortunately, | knew his name." "Oh Nathan, he's so bad!" Avery was also a mother now, so after hearing what Susan said, she was furious, "A person like him should die!" Susan's eyes flickered, and her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't.
The atmosphere turned cold for a moment.

Susan hurriedly said, "I can eat these." "Auntie, you don’t have to be polite to us. | don't think you like steak very much. There are other main dishes on the menu. You can order whatever you want." Avery handed the menu to Susan.
Seeing Avery's enthusiasm, Susan took over the menu with a smile and ordered a plate of fried rice with eggs.
"You still like the food in Aryadelle." Avery smiled.
"Yeah." Susan put down the menu, not wanting to talk more about her eating habits.
"Auntie, what's your plan? Do you have a job in Bridgedale?" Avery wanted to know more about her.
Susan shook her head: "I mainly live on the savings my husband left behind." "Then do you plan to return to Bridgedale or stay here?" Avery continued to ask.
"Of course | want to stay here; after all, my husband is dead..." "Do you and your husband have any children?" Susan: "My husband and | have no children, But he and his ex-wife have a daughter. His daughter is already married." "Oh, if you want to stay in Aryadelle, you can!" Avery relaxed, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell us.” "l, I don't have any difficulties... My hush a" =RMV? leftwith enough money to spend... I'll be satisfied as long as | can see the both of you from tto time." A smile appeared on Susan's face.

Avery felt as if she wanted to say something, but the words were caught in her throat.
After lunch, Avery offered to take her back to the hotel, but she refused.
After watching her get into a taxi, Avery looked up at Elliot.
"What do you think?" "How about you?" Elliot didn't know what to think because it felt weird.
Avery opened the door, got in the car, sat firmly, and answered his question: "I always feel that she has a lot of thoughts. She said she had no problems and didn't need our help, but she looked like she was in trouble." "It's not the sbag as the one three days ago." Elliot expressed his doubts, "Today's bag is also from Hermes. If it is genuine, the price is not low." "I finally understand you when you said that her skin was not well maintained. She is only fifty-three years old now, but she looks older." "She and Nathan may not be as simple as she says," Elliot added another point of doubt. He pointed out, "She askedthree days ago why | didn't save Nathan. Her logic didn't make sense, and her temperament was unlike someone not short of money."
