NovelEnglish"I'm sorry, but | don't have parents who were that tolerant, nor have | ever been loved, so what Elliot's doing simply disgusts me.
How is this any different from cheating?" Mike finished his drink and slammed the glass onto the table. "I can't do anything to him, but | can teach Ruby Gould a lesson!" Chad was stunned. "Do you have a death wish? Ylore is the territory of the Gould family—" "Gary Gould is dead! Ylore is no longer their territory!" Mike mocked. "The reign of the Gould family is over!" "Even so, you can't just go challenging Ruby! She's not alone right now. She has a newborn baby, so just let them settle what's between them on their own! If Mr. Foster really decides to take the baby back, he won't be able to keep it a secret from Avery. Avery will decide what to do on her own then!" "F*ck this! Avery is always the one who gets hurt! Why?!" Mike stood abruptly from the chair.
Worried that he would act out, Chad immediately pushed him back into the chair.

Besides, my boss isn't actually going to bring that child here right now. All he said was that he would if Ruby tortured the kid... That child is Ruby's own flesh and blood, too, so | don't think she is cruel enough to do something like that," Chad consoled him.
Mike pinched the bridge of his nose, struggling.
It was eight in the evening and a black Rolls -Roice pulled up in Elliot's yard.
Elliot went upstairs and heard Avery reading stories to Layla when he walked past the children's room, so he headed back to his room for a shower.
About half an hour later, Avery walked out of the children's room and strode into the master bedroom.
Elliot had cout of the shower and was blow-drying his hair, so she stood outside the bathroom door, watching him.
His hair dried shortly after, and he put the blow-dryer back into the drawer.
"Elliot, I've talked to Shea, but just like you said, she insists on giving birth." Avery could not hide the exhaustion in her expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She said that she's not afraid of dying even when | told her that she could lose her life from trying to give birth." "Of course, she isn't afraid. If she is, she wouldn't have been foolish enough to give her blood for Robert." Elliot was not at all surprised by the outcome.
"What should we do?" Avery said. "I've spoken to Wesley, but he said he can't control Shea." "He is useless!" Elliot roared. "If he can't keep her under control, then he shouldn't have promised to take care of her! Shea might be stupid, but is he stupid too?" Avery stared at the veins popping on his forehead as his words echoed in her mind.
Elliot hated when people called Shea ' stupid’, but he was the one using that word to describe Shea right now. It only showed how furious he was.
He soon noticed that he had said the wrong thing, but he did not want to correct himself because what Shea was doing at the moment was beyond foolish.
"You askedwhat we should do. | don’t know either. She will hatefor the rest of her life if | force her to get an abortion; she might even try to get pregnant again after that without telling me..." Elliot paced back ?e"?YJV: forth in the room, helplessly.
"Then let her give birth to the child, Elliot!" Avery grabbed him by the arm and stared at him. "I know you can't bring yourself to force her. If that's the case, you shouldn't force yourself to act as well."
