Chad wanted to check on Henry, but considering how Cole refused to make a loan, Chad figured that he might not welchim
into the hospital, so Chad decided to report to Elliot first.
Elliot answered his phone and after hearing what Chad had to say, he drawled, "you can leave now."
"Okay. | won't check on Henry, then."
"Yeah."
Elliot was about to hang up when Chad asked, "Mr. Foster, are you and Avery having fun in Kanton? | saw someone posting your
photos together on the internet. Are you going outside without the bodyguards? Be careful!"
"The bodyguards are with us. Avery just didn't let them stop the tourists who wanted a photo with us."
"Oh, that's good. | won't take any more of your time, then."

"Okay." Elliot hung up.
Avery turned to look at him. "Who was it?"
"Chad. Cole wants money, right? Chad took a loan shark to him and he doesn't have the guts to proceed with it," Elliot mocked.
"He toldhow important his dad is to him, but doesn’t want to make a loan to save Henry. He just wantsto give him the
money for free."
"lI don't understand how a person could change so much. He wasn't like this when | dated him."
Elliot instantly lost his appetite.
Avery chuckled when she spotted the expression on his face. "It's been so many years. How are you still jealous? He really wasn't
that bad before. I'm just impressed by how much a person can change once they becadults."
"I grew up with him and | know him better than you do. You only think he's not bad because he hid that side of him."
"Oh, | see. And here | thought that something had caused such drastic change!"
"His parents spoiled him rotten and so he beca spineless coward who knows nothing but how to spend his father's money. No
matter what he did wrong, his mother would always protect him and as twent by, it beca habit too hard to get rid of."
Elliot grabbed his glass and took a sip of water.
"Indeed. Education is very important. If parents fail at it, it's bad for both the kids and themselves." Avery's heart grew heavier at
the topic. "You are spoiling Robert."
"72?" Elliot was taken by surprise and thought to himself, 'l thought we are talking about Cole? Why are we talking about me
instead?"
"You are too protective of Robert. You are in no place to mock Cole's mother! If you keep this up, aren't you worried that Robert
would grow up to be a spineless coward who knows nothing but how to spend his father's money?" Avery finished her food and set

"How can you compare our son to Cole? | might spoil Robert, but with you and Layla there, he definitely won't go on the wrong
path." Elliot's heart was assured because he knew how his son was under the control of his daughter.
"That's true. | wonder what they are doing. Letmake a video call to them." She set her glass down and called Eric
Eric answered right away and once again, Avery was glad that there was no tdifference.
"Eric, have you guys eaten?" Avery purposely included Elliot's face in the screen as well.
"We finished lunch half an hour ago. Layla and Robert and counting the money gifts you received at the wedding," Eric said, before
showing Avery her children.
Layla and Robert sat on the carpet in the living room and there were envelopes all over the carpet; the envelopes contained all the
cash Elliot and Avery received from their guests during the wedding. If Avery had not traveled out of the country with Elliot that
night, she should be the one opening the envelopes.
"Layla, Robert! Why are you two opening my envelopes!" She chuckled and said.
