" Avery shot back. "If you don't want Layla and Robert to be sad, you can givecustody of them. If you agree, I'll go over right now and pick them up." Elliot's breathing becheavier on the other side of the phone.
He had a lot of things to say to her, but her attitude made it difficult for him to say them.
"I'm about to board the plane," Avery's heart started to count down the time. "Are you going to givethe children or not? You can always find sother woman after that and have as many children as you want..." The more Elliot listened, the angrier he became.

His face becashen, then pale, while his body could not stop shaking at all.
When he was about to hang up, he felt as if his fingers were frozen stiff.
He pressed the red icon several times before managing to end the call.
Avery took a deep breath and adjusted her mood when she heard the call being ended by the person on the other end of the line.
Elliot refused her request, which she interpreted as him calling her to ask if she could go back and live life like normal as if nothing had happened between them.
She did not know whether to call him naive or smart.
Back at Starry River Villa, Elliot hung up the phone with a cold expression on his face.

Robert was not crying anymore, but his eyes were red and swollen because he was crying too much. The crying fit also caused his body to twitch from tto time.
"Do you have a spare key at home? Layla locked the door." Elliot said to Mrs. Cooper," Go and comfort her." Mrs. Cooper nodded and went to find the spare key.
Chad could not help but sigh when he saw Elliot holding Robert. "You're lucky that Robert is still young, unlike Layla and Hayden. | can't even begin to imagine what will happen if he's the sage as them." "They can cry a river for all | care. | won't give Avery custody of them." Elliot's heart had becharder than a rock after it had been broken.
"Why don't you lethold Robert while you get srest." Chad saw that Elliot was tired >c, Elliot shook his head. "I'll rest when Layla calms down." "I don't think she'll be able to accept what happened anytsoon." Layla's sadness rubbed off on Chad.

He then paused for a moment, before continuing, "Hearing the children's heartwrenching cries breaks my heart. | don't understand why Avery is so cruel all of a sudden. | keep having this impression that there was skind of misunderstanding. " Chad then tried guessing, "Did you ask her exactly what was wrong?" Elliot's mind buzzed as he sat down on the sofa and held Robert.
Whenever he thought about anything that had to do with Avery, his bodily functions becabnormal-he would lose the ability to think and react normally.
Chad saw that Elliot's expression was not quite right and realized that it would be best not to continue talking about that topic.
