"Are you Avery?" Susan had a kind and restrained smile, "You are so beautiful.” Avery was also a little awkward, so she tried to find a topic: "Auntie, do you live in Bridgedale? When did you go there?" Susan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: "I've been there for quite a few years. This matter is a bit complicated... | was smuggled over to work there as an illegal immigrant then, but | didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet my future husband there... | didn’t use the identity of Susan there." Elliot's doubts were explained.

"Then did your husband cwith you?" Avery asked.
Susan shook her head. "He passed away the year before. In fact, | saw Elliot on the news before. When | saw Elliot, | thought he looked like me, but | didn't dare to think about it because he was so successful. | discovered that Elliot's biological father was Nathan, and | started to doubt it." "Well, let's eat first! Otherwise, the food will get cold." Avery said with a smile.

"Auntie, are you a little nervous?" Avery saw this >a%=TLW> broke the awkwardness, "Don’t be nervous; Elliot doesn't have any ill will towards you. Otherwise, he won't agree to eat with you." Susan stopped cutting steak with a stiff smile on her face: "lI am indeed a little nervous... After all, | am a lowly woman, and Elliot is so... successful." "Auntie, don't say that. We can't decide our origin, and we can't change our destiny in most cases. Most people are mediocre all their lives. Elliot will not look down on you because of your past." "Avery, you speak so nicely." Susan looked at her with envy, "I heard you are an excellent doctor. It's amazing that you have such high achievements at such a young age." Avery's cheeks flushed with praise:" Auntie, I'll cut ssteak for you!" "No, | can cut it, but today my fingers are not very good at it, it seems." Susan smiled and declined, then lowered her head and continued to cut the steak.
"Auntie, may | take the liberty to ask how old you are?" Avery asked after eating a piece of beef.
"Ah... | just turned fifty-three this year." Susan looked embarrassed when she answered this question, "When | was born, | just dropped out of school and cto work, and Nathan lied towith his pretty words and cheated me." Avery was shocked.
