Avery's heart tightened in her chest, and she hesitantly said, "Rowan Tate." Elliot put down the menu. His hawk-like eyes bore into her as he said, "Are you serious?" "Both Hayden and Layla have my last name. The child would be confused if he had a different last name." Avery's cheeks flushed as she shared her thoughts. "Of course, | would respect your opinion." "If you're worried that the baby would be confused, then you could just change Hayden and Layla's last name. | don't mind them taking my last name." Elliot's response was so casual that it almost felt like he was joking.
He ordered his food, then handed the menu to the waiter.
The waiter confirmed their order, then walked away.
"Since you don't agree, then let's just name him Rowan Foster!" Avery compromised.
She was already happy enough that she got custody of the baby.

She would be fine if he was being sullen and savage.
She was used to seeing him angry.
Instead, Elliot was half smiling and his eyes were cold. His expression was enigmatic and hard to put one's finger on.
It was slightly terrifying.
"I don't like my last name." Elliot pondered for a moment, then said, "I don’t have a choice, though.” Avery did not expect him to say that.
She had known him long enough to assume that she knew him well, but he felt like a stranger at that moment.
"You've never mentioned your father before. Did you have a bad relationship with him?" she guessed.
"Yes." Elliot's eyes darkened as he held back his temper. He looked at Avery and said, "Let the baby take your last name! We don't need to discuss this further.” His tone sounded calm, but Avery could feel his patience running out.
He was trying his best to endure. One wrong move and he would turn into a monster.
Her mood suddenly turned sour.
She was filled with an indescribable sense of helplessness.
He fought for nothing ;b-:YLR? could give her everything. He looked carefree, but his heart was heavily shackled.
That weekend, Cole asked Nora out to meet.

Cole called her to say that he had a gift for her. She did not overthink it and came out to meet him.
"Open it up, Nora.” Cole handed a large paper bag to her.
Nora opened the bag with an expression filled with anticipation and saw an Armes bag.
"There's a skirt dress in here, too?" She put the bag away and held the dress. "Oh? | think I've seen Avery Tate wear this before.
"That's right. She’s got the exact same one. It's not cheap! | was sure you'd look more beautiful than her in it, so | bought it," Cole cooed. "Why don't you try it on now?" Nora's vanity was greatly satisfied by his praises.
She felt like she was walking on air.
She went to the bathroom to change into the dress, then reappeared in front of Cole.
"You're beautiful, Nora! You're even more beautiful than that big-bellied Avery Tate! She looks like a servant compared to you! Come on, I'll take you out for a feast!" Cole put his arm around her and walked toward a restaurant.
When the person in black who was lurking outside the restaurant saw them, their menacing eyes instantly lit up!
