The waiter left after serving the food.
Elliot pondered for a while. He was just about to say something when Avery jumped the gun and said something first because she was afraid that Elliot would make Hayden angry.
"Hayden, didn't you say you were hungry? This restaurant is quite good. Have more food." Avery placed a huge pile of food in Hayden's dish.
Hayden lowered his head and ate. He did not even look at Elliot.

Avery did not want to talk to Elliot in front of Hayden because Hayden was extremely sensitive to Elliot. She was afraid that if any sentence of his would make Hayden unhappy, it would only deepen the rift between father and son.
"Let's eat first!" Avery lowered her gaze and took small mouthfuls.
A moment later, Hayden was full. He placed his utensils down. "Mommy, I'm tired. I'll go home first." Avery immediately placed her utensils down. She wanted to go with her.
"Mommy, you're not finished yet! I'll get Uncle Bodyguard to send me back." Hayden grabbed his bag and headed out.
After the little third wheel left, Elliot could finally speak.
"Hayden is going back to summer camp tomorrow. When are you planning to return to Aryadelle? We could head back together, " Elliot said.
"I don't want to return tomorrow." Avery politely refused to return to Aryadelle with him tomorrow.
"Then, | won't go back tomorrow," Elliot said, changing his mind.
Avery was speechless.
"Don't worry, | won't bother you." Looking at how stunned she was, he changed the subject. "Soon, our child will be six--months - old. Time passes by quickly." "Is that so?" Avery did not think so because too many things had happened. Sometimes when she thought back about it, it was like she was having a strange nightmare. "Life passes by quickly too." Elliot's gaze was suddenly in the distance. "Recently, I've been thinking about the things that happened when | was young. The past few decades have passed in a blink of an eye. It feels like in another blink of an eye, I'll be old >g(>VLY? white-haired." "Did you have an unhappy childhood?" "What makes you say that?" Elliot smiled but he had no expression on his face.
"I guessed." Avery took a sip of the soup and said peacefully, "You find it hard to trust others, including me." "What about you, then?" Elliot's tone was peaceful too. He did not want to provoke or start any fight. "Nora and | are innocent.
Why are you angry then? Avery, you can't not trust me but expect me to trust you fully." In this round, he won.

"All the problems between us, can we lay it out on the table once and for all tonight?" He wanted to resolve the conflicts between them.
Soon after, their child was going to be born. They needed to bring the child up together.
"There are no problems." Avery put down her spoon. She did not want to discuss such a heavy topic. "I'm a little tired. | didn't nap in the afternoon.” "I'll send you back." Elliot got up from his chair and walked over to her. He helped her up.
"Where are you staying?" Avery picked her bag up and asked.
Elliot hesitated for a while.
Avery looked at his slightly blushing handsome face. Her heart skipped a beat. ” Elliot, don't tell me you only came here today, and you haven't found a place to stay?" "Hmm, I'll just find a hotel near your place later.” Elliot seemed like he wanted to assure her, but it also seemed like he did not.
"Anyway, this time | didn't bring a bodyguard with me. | can just stay anywhere. It's easy." He did not bring a bodyguard with him! Avery furrowed her brows tightly.
