NovelEnglishAvery and Mike were in a cafe near Starry River Villa.
After Chad sent Elliot there, he grabbed Mike and walked out.
"Why'd you dragout for? What if Elliot bullies Avery when I'm not around?" Chad adjusted the glasses on his nose bridge. "My boss suspects that you're behind what happened to the Goulds, so you'd better not hang around in front of him!" "Oh. Who cares if he suspects me? Does he have proof that | did it?" "He wants to settle things with Avery right now, so for God's sake, don't stir up any trouble!" "lI don't care what your boss thinks of me, but | can't forgive you for doubtingalong with him." Mike's face was cold. "I like to be around Avery because she trusts me. She trusts every single word | say!" Chad pursed his lips and did not know how to answer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe did not know Mike as well as Avery did, so the truth was that he did suspect Mike of doing it.
Inside the cafe, Avery handed the divorce agreement and a pen to Elliot.
When Elliot saw the words 'divorce agreement’, all the feelings he had in his heart were stifled.
He picked up the agreement with his slender fingers.
Avery watched him flip through them one by one, but her heart only tensed up when he reached the last piece of paper.
On the last piece of paper, two blank columns were left empty for both sides to write down their demands.
Avery wrote hers in the woman's column.
She did not negotiate with Elliot in advance and hesitated for a moment before deciding to write it down. She did so because she knew that Elliot would likely disagree with her request, and they might just get into a heated argument if she wrote it in front of him.

"Why not?" Avery tried to use a calm tone to negotiate with him. "I gave birth to all three children, so why can't | ask for custody of all three of them?" "Would you have been able to give birth to them without me?" he retorted. "Don't you think you're a little too greedy to want them all?" Avery understood what he meant from those remarks.
"You want custody of Robert?" she asked tentatively.
Of the three children, Hayden ;b#>V|S? Layla grew up with Avery and would almost certainly choose Avery.
Robert was the only one who was born in Elliot's company and was closest to Elliot.
Avery would not be worried if he wanted Robert's custody, and she was not too worried to let Robert be with him either.
"lI want custody of Robert, that's a given." Elliot's Adam's apple bobbed in his throat. He then said in a low and powerful voice, "I want Layla to be withtoo." Avery's expression changed instantly. “ Don't be greedy, Elliot! Layla grew up with me! She would never agree to go with you!" "As long as you don't provoke my relationship with Layla, she'll eventually accept reality even though she might not be able to accept it immediately." Elliot's tone becfiercer when he said that. " You're the one who doesn't want the kids. You're the one who wanted to break this complete family." "Do you honestly think you can change anything if you say that? The children can judge for themselves if you want to speak ill ofin front of them. Sign the divorce agreement!" Avery looked at his stern face. She remembered how indifferent he was on the day she lost her vision and tried calling him for help.
Now that the two of them had finally met, Elliot did not show the least bit of concern over what happened to her eyes. He did not seem to care about her at all and was more focused on getting custody of the children after the divorce.
