NovelEnglishHe met Susan today, and the brief meeting between the two was different from what he had imagined.
She was like a simple old woman, without much scheming and shrewdness.
She cto him, perhaps not for money, but for affection.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn't want him when she was young, maybe because Nathan forcibly took him away or because she couldn't support him.
If she wasn't like Nathan, he wouldn't have such intense malice towards her.
During lunch, he didn't talk to Avery about Susan.
There was no need to let the children know about this before the results cout.
After dinner, when they got hand the two children went to take a nap, the two of them started chatting.
"Do you have her photo? I'm curious, are you two really that alike?" Avery peeled an orange and divided it in half.
"lI don't have a photo of her now." He showed her the photo of Susan when she was young. "Actually, it is more obvious when you look at the photo of her when she was young." Avery glanced at her and nodded immediately: "At a glance, your eyes and nose are similar to hers." "Well." Elliot put down the phone and ate the oranges she gave him, "After taking the test samples today, she wanted to pay, but | stopped her." "Well, she probably didn’t get to know you for your money.” "That's not certain. Knowing what kind of person someone is takes a long time." Elliot ate the oranges.
"This orange is delicious. If Susan is your mother, and she is a good person, you can recognize her. Although you don't say it, | know you yearn for family. You can take a look at your attitude towards Shea.

"Well, | understand your feelings. When the results cout, if she is your mother, let's see what she wants! If she wants to meet you, you can give her a chance and get along more." Avery said, "You're not busy right now anyway." Elliot was thinking about other things.
Avery took another orange from the fruit bowl ?a!?UNT< peeled it slowly: "Elliot, what are you thinking about?" "She was carrying a Hermes bag. The clothes on her were also costly." He expressed his doubts, "But her words were submissive, and the skin on her face is very loose, so she wasn't taking care of it very often." "Oh...maybe she is a little afraid of you!" Avery analyzed, "Speople pay attention to maintaining their physical appearance, others don't. Also, speople's skin is a little tighter, while speople's skin easily gets loose no matter how well maintained it is." "Probably." "Elliot, you are so cautious; this shows your expectations towards her. Unlike Nathan, you thought he was a nuisance.
You didn't care what clothes he wore, or what his skin looked like." "Because Nathan ctoand askedfor money. Susan didn't." Elliot smiled bitterly, "Although I'm not short of money, | don't want to be used as an ATM." "Hahaha, don't worry, no one can use you as an ATM." Avery wanted to say that, with his firm and vigilant personality, ordinary people simply could not take advantage of him.
He looked at her with deep eyes: "You can, and so can my children.” Avery was a little dumbfounded by his sudden loving words.
"Do you want to take a nap? Are you sleepy? " He saw that she was stunned, so he changed the subject.
She stuffed an orange into her mouth, "I'm not very sleepy; maybe I've had enough sleep recently. | want to go to work at the company next Monday." He had no objection.
She had been with him at hfor a long time.
