Chapter 484 Avery arrived home about half an hour later.
She rushed into the house, and charged toward Elliot without even changing into her house slippers.
“Where’s Hayden? Why are you here alone?”
Elliot was about to speak, but Avery interjected when she noticed his disheveled25 clothes.
“What happened to your clothes?” Elliot’s shirt was completely wrinkled. She followed the wrinkled lines to his back
and saw a piece of his shirt that was ripped9c off.
She saw the bloody bite mark under the ripped fabric.
The bleeding had stopped, but she could imagine how painful it must have23 been.
Avery faced them, then asked, “Did Hayden bite you?”
“I brought it onto myself,” Elliot said nonchalantly. “He’s in hisza room.”
“I see. I’ll go take a look. Wait here for me,” Avery said, then walked up the stairs.
Mike sauntered behind Elliot, took a good look at his wound, then sighed and said, “Big H really did you in! You look
like you were bitten by a35 dog!”
Elliot turned around and stared grimly at Mike, then said, “Mike, is Hayden my son?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike’s face froze, and he did not snap out of his daze until a few seconds later.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Didn’t you force Avery to abort your first baby with her? Hayden was adopted!
Do you want to see the adoption papers?”.
Elliot nodded and said, “Show me the adoption papers.”
Mike was dumbfounded.
“Is something wrong?” Elliot said. Mike’s face flushed with guilt as he said, “I don’t have the paper! You have to get
them from Avery. Although I don’t suggest you bother her about it. If you mention Hayden, she will definitely recall
the time you almost strangled him to death!” “I already apologized to Hayden about that today.”
“So what?” Mike said as he decided to take the opportunity to test him. “Even if Hayden was your son, he won’t
accept you after what you’ve done to him.”
Elliot felt as if a knife was pierced through his heart.
Mike was right.
Even if he was Hayden’s biological father, Hayden would never forgive him.
Just like the way he had never forgiven his own father.
Elliot did not expect himself to turn into the person he despised the most in the world.
Mike noticed Elliot’s reddened eyes, dejected expression and silent demeanor, then coughed awkwardly and said,
“I’m just messing with you! Hayden does have a bad temper, though. He won’t forgive you if you wrong him.
Unless…”
“Unless what?” Elliot asked in a hoarse voice.
“Unless Avery asked him to forgive you,” Mike suggested.
Then, he changed the subject and said, “Why didn’t Shea come along? I wanted to ask her what she was thinking! I
can’t believe she snuck Hayden out to join such a huge competition. It’s a good thing he won. Otherwise, it’d be
embarrassing.”
“I asked the bodyguard to send her home.”
“I see. I think you should have a nice, long talk with her. Maybe you could also give her a more advanced
education.”
As the two men conversed, Avery walked down the stairs.
She was holding a first aid kit and a men’s t-shirt.
“Go sit with Hayden, Mike,” she said.
“I’ll take him out for a drive!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMike walked over to the stairs, then whispered in Avery’s ear, “Elliot suspects Hayden is his
son.”
Avery was stunned upon hearing those words.
Elliot was sitting on the couch with his deep set eyes fixed on her.
She felt his searing gaze, then composed herself and walked toward him.
“Let me tend to your wound,” she said.
Elliot meekly unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his chiseled torso.
Avery lowered her gaze in embarrassment, then opened up the first aid kit and took out the disinfectant and anti-
inflammatory cream.
“Can I ask you something?” Elliot said suddenly, making Avery tense up.
“Don’t distract me while I’m cleaning your wound. Don’t blame me if I mess up.”
She was afraid he would ask about Hayden’s parentage.
As long as Elliot looked deeper into it, he could quickly find out that Hayden was his son.
Avery’s threat was effective, Eliot did not say another word before she was done dressing his wound.
