NovelEnglishBen erupted in laughter and could not resist slapping the table.
"I took her word for it and didn’t notice anything wrong with it. | even thought to myself that | was let in on a huge secret, but now
that you mention that, | realize that | was a little stupid. How rich is 'rich' for Lilith? A hundred and fifty thousand is probably an
astronomical sum of money for her."
Elliot could sense that Ben was in a good mood from the latter's self-deprecating laugh.
"You just said that Avery went to Ylore, right? What for? Do tell!" Ben remembered what he wanted to ask and sat upright. " Why
did she go to Ylore for no good reason? | don't remember her having any relatives or friends in Ylore!" "She wants to find Ivy." Elliot
rubbed his eyebrows. "She suspects that Ivy is her child and she wants to do a maternity test."
"But..." Ben had a look of disbelief on his face. "lvy's been missing for three years! Why would she decide to look for Ivy and do a
maternity test after so long? To be honest, when | saw Ivy's photo back then, | did notice that she looked a little like
Avery. | just didn't dare to bring it up. After all, children's appearances change as they grow. They might look like their father at a

"Where did she get that idea all of a sudden?" Elliot murmured. "She's seen
Ivy's photo before, so there's no reason for her to have doubts now, if indeed she does have them." "Exactly! It's been three years
and | almost forgot what Ivy looks like. Was she looking at Ivy's photos all day or something?" Ben wondered. "Who told you that
she went to Ylore to look for Ivy? Was it Nick?”
"Yes."
"Would you like to pay him a visit, then?" Ben cocked his eyebrow and asked. "We failed to find Ivy at the beginning, right? | don't
think you've given up on your daughter either, and since Avery is also looking for her, you can both look for her together! And if Ivy
really is the daughter to you and Avery..." Ben paused there.
Everything was so thrilling because there was no telling what would happen to how Elliot ;b!=S]Q= Avery's relationship would end
up if Ivy was in fact their daughter.
After all, it was Ivy who led to their divorce in the first place.
"Do you honestly think that's possible?" Elliot was appalled by his assumptions.
"Haven't you heard of the saying that' nothing is impossible'? Ivy looks so much like Layla, and Layla is practically Avery's spitting
image. If you go by this reasoning, then there is no reason for Ivy not to be Avery's child?" Ben becmore animated. "Besides,
Avery isn’t going to just bring up Ivy's condition for no reason. Does she know something that we don’t?"
Elliot's eyes sharpened and his brain was running at full speed.
"You should go to Ylore and have a look! It doesn't matter whether Ivy is Ruby's daughter or Avery's daughter. What's certain is
that you're her father," Ben said. "| can't leave Robert alone." Elliot thought about how lonely and miserable Robert would be if left
all alone.
"You can. He's three years old now. He can talk and walk. If you think he’s too lonely, you can ask Shea to bring her child to keep
him company! If that’s still not enough, I'll help you take care of him also. "

"You? Helpingtake care of a child?" Elliot scoffed at his offer. "You can’t even handle a woman. How do you think you can
handle a child?"
"Your son is much easier to deal with compared to your sister! | guarantee that Robert will likeif | feed him and bring him to
play. If | treat Lilith nicely, she thinks | have sreason for doing so." Ben shrugged helplessly. "I know your heart has been
moved. You should go and see if you can figure out why Avery is suddenly paying so much attention to Ivy."
Over at Ylore. The sun started to rise and sunlight shone into the hotel room through the translucent curtains.
Avery was woken up from a nightmare, and she stared blankly at the unfamiliar room while beads of sweat fell from her forehead.
It did not take long before the doorbell rang.
She walked to the door and opened it.
"Did your room have a power outage too?" Mike was sweating profusely. He flicked the light switch in her room but the light did not
turn on. "This hotel is the worst! | can't believe they had a power outage! Man, this heat is killing me!"
Mike had just finished complaining when firefighter sirens were heard coming from downstairs.
