NovelEnglishInstantly, Elliot focused his attention on Hayden.
They had rarely spent time together in private, mainly because Hayden did not like him and would avoid Elliot whenever he had the chance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause of that, Elliot did not quite know how to face his son. Had it not been for the circumstances, they would not find themselves alone with each other.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to just come here?!" said Elliot, unable to refrain from reprimanding his son.
"Mind your own business!" Hayden said.
"Didn't you think that your mom would challenge Christopher if he had caught you?" "Christopher wouldn't have been able to capture me even without your help! | wouldn't have come here if my mom hadn't begged me to! " Elliot arched his eyebrow. "So you are refusing to eat because your mom is not begging you to eat? Should | call her now and get her to beg you?" Hayden glared at him coldly. "Leave my mom alone!" "I will, but you will need to listen to me while you are here!" Elliot stared at the face that resembled his own, and he did not have the heart to strictly reprimand his son. "I will ask the nanny to send your meal here. You better stay in this room and not come out unless it's absolutely necessary." Hayden scowled in displeasure.
Elliot knew that Hayden did not want to see him, so he left the guest room and headed downstairs to ask the nanny to send food to Hayden's room.
As the nanny carried the food upstairs, Ruby looked at Elliot and said, "You can relax while Hayden is here. The nanny works for me so she won't say a thing to anyone else. " "Yeah. Don't talk to him unless you need to, Ruby, he is quite short-tempered,” Elliot reminded her, "like me." Ruby could not help but chuckle. "He sure is. | was stunned when | first saw him. He looks so much like you, but he is probably more short-tempered than you are. | feel like you are more approachable." "That's because he hates me. He doesn't treat other people the same way." "Why does he hate you? Is it because we are together?" Ruby asked gingerly.

Elliot felt irritated by the subject >h-;YJR; said, "I'm a little tired. | will head back to my room to rest now." Concerned that her father or brother would come over, she said, "Sure, go rest! | will let you know if something happens." Once Elliot was back in his room, he called Avery. "He is safe now. You can relax.” "He told me that Christopher will die within a day, but | just can't figure out how he's going to kill Christopher." Avery was in the hotel room and was struggling to sleep. "You have to keep a close eye on him and stop him from going out." The mansion Elliot stayed in was in the same area as where Gary and Christopher stayed, so if Hayden stepped out, he would be spotted right away.
"I will protect him. Whether Christoper dies or not, | will find a way to send you two away. Keep your phone on, and | will contact you as soon as | find a way," he lowered his voice and said.
Avery could sense how protective his tone was when he was talking about her and the children.
"Elliot, are you still reluctant to tell me the answer at this point?" Avery paused for a moment and asked, "Do you, or do you not remember me?" In order to put her mind at peace so she would leave, he said, "I do." "Oh? Tell me, then, what was the gift | bought you on our first date?" Avery would not simply believe whatever he said and would not buy it unless he could answer the question.
Elliot had not anticipated the question.
