"Go hand care for Robert, let Mrs. Cooper rest." Elliot placed his utensils down. He picked up the bow! of soup with his left hand, showing Avery that he had no problems eating.
His left hand was a comminuted fracture. He had already rested for more than a week. It should not have much problem at that moment.
"Then, I'll head back first. Callif there is anything." Avery leaned in and kissed Elliot on the forehead before leaving the room quickly.

Mike touched his nose and teased, "Get a room! You literally treat Chad andas if we're not here!" Chad continued chiming in, "If Mrs. Cooper was not sick, I'm guessing Avery won't return home." Mike walked over to the guest bed and sat down, looking at Elliot drinking his soup casually in bed. "Elliot, | think you have changed. Avery was here just now, so | was embarrassed to say it out loud." "What do you mean?" Elliot looked at him.
"Let's talk. I'm now Tate Industries’ Director of Operations, talking to you as the boss of the Sterling Group!" Mike confronted Elliot, "I hear that you used to be generous to Avery in the past, but now you have a large share of her company.
You two are in a good relationship now, so it's fine, but what happens if the two of you break up? You'll just be able to do whatever you like then." Chad gave Mike a look, asking him to stop talking. However, Mike ignored his hints. He continued confronting Elliot, "I think your feelings for Avery have changed. You used to love her unconditionally, now you're starting to be calculative!" "Mike, shut up!" Chad thought that he had crossed a line, so he reprimanded him.
Even if Elliot and Avery's relationship has changed, this was their private affair. An outsider has no right to interfere.
"Chad, take the documents in the drawer to the lawyer. | want to talk to Mike alone," Elliot instructed Chad.
Chad immediately walked over to the cabinet, pulled the drawer open, and took all of the documents out.
Before leaving, Chad gave Mike a death stare for about two seconds. Mike cleared his throat Chad left and closed the door.

"Mike, | have indeed changed," Elliot admitted, "I am no longer who | am in the past. My attitude toward Avery has changed too." Mike gasped when he heard what Elliot said.
Avery, that idiot! Could she not feel the changes in Elliot's attitude toward her? Before leaving, she even kissed him! She should have slapped him instead.
"I have known her for more than ten years. | have already forgotten sof the things that had happened all these years, but s| will never forget for the rest of my life." Elliot looked at a spot without any focus in his gaze. His tone was cool. "I can be sure that even if my attitude toward her has changed, my love for her has never once wavered." Mike was stunned.
"I only made changes to protect our relationship better. If she lovesas usual, | will not do anything to harm her." Mike asked, "What if she doesn't love you anymore in the future?" "If she doesn't love me, then, just like what you predicted, she will lose everything." Elliot swallowed his saliva and said coldly, "Not only will she lose Tate Industries, but she will lose custody to the children as well." Mike instantly understood his intention." You're using this to control her and get her to stay with you." "You can read it this way." "You're evil! A relationship is made of mutual consent. How could you force her!" "You can tell her what | said verbatim. If she doesn't accept it, she can leaveright away." Elliot looked at him coldly.
