Nick didn’t receive the news that Elliot was coming over, so he didn't tell him that Avery had left in advance.
Elliot wanted to look nonchalant as if he didn't cto Ylore to look for Avery, but he couldn't hide his expression.
"Didn’t she chere to look for Ivy? "
"lI don't know! She didn't tellwhen she left. | wanted to invite her to dinner, but | couldn't get to her, so | suspected she might
have left. | called the airport to check and found that she had left." Nick didn't know if Avery was still looking for Ivy or not.
"Since you're here, take sdays off and stay withfor a few days!" Nick enthusiastically pulled Elliot to sit down on the
couch, "Did you chere for Avery or to askabout Ivy?"
"lI want to know why Avery suddenly suspects that Ivy is her daughter." Elliot looked calm, "She saw Ivy's photo three years ago. It
wasn't anything new to her."

"Oh...then she probably didn't tellthe truth! After all, I'm not that familiar with her. She didn't want you to know that she was
looking for Ivy. She toldseveral times not to tell you... I'm afraid she won't tell you anything either."
"Of course, | won't ask her directly." Elliot knew Avery wouldn't tell him anything.
Since Avery blocked him more than two years ago and refused to have any communication with him, he knew that the two of them
were complete strangers by now.
"Then what are you doing here? What if Avery didn't leave? Wouldn't the two of you have met?" Nick narrowed his eyes, "Since
you're here, it means you're ready to meet Avery. In that case, when you return home, you can go look for her."
"Has she returned to Aryadelle?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah! She has returned to Aryadelle. | suspect she may have gotten the news somewhere that Ivy is in Aryadelle. Hence, she flew
to Aryadelle immediately." Nick pondered, "Didn't you look for Ivy in Aryadelle?"
"I didn't." Elliot was saddened, "If lvy is still alive now, she is only two years old. If the people who raised her kept her at home, |
can't find her no matter what | do." "Yeah. You can ask the people around Avery to see what inspired Avery to insist on looking for
Ivy. | think she looks very determined."
"Let's talk when | get back to Aryadelle!"
In Aryadelle, after Avery I:c,

She put her luggage down and looked at Mike.
"Did you ask someone to clean up every tyou returned to Aryadelle?" She wiped the coffee table with her fingers, but there
was no dust.
Mike shook his head. "No! Whenever | go back to Aryadelle, | hang out with Chad, but | don't chere. Maybe Mrs. Cooper comes

Avery dragged her luggage into the bedroom.
"I'm going to take a nap and discuss it after srest."
"Aren't you going to eat something?" Mike asked.
"I'll eat on the plane. I'm not hungry now."
"Right, go to sleep then!" Mike had slept on the plane, so he was in good spirits now.
Avery went back to the room. After closing the door, Mike leaned on the sofa and sent a message to Chad: [We are back home!
