NovelEnglishAvery left at six in the morning? It was winter. At six, dawn had not arrived.
Elliot picked up his phone and walked to the door. He looked outside and called Avery.
Soon, she picked up.
"Where are you? Why did you leave so early in the morning?" His constricted heart relaxed a little.
"I'm visiting my mother's grave." Avery's tone was calm. "Why don’t you look after the children at htoday!" "Why don't you wantto go with you?" Elliot preferred to follow her to the grave.

Elliot could sense that she was not in a good mood and was not willing to talk, so he did not say anything else.
After hanging up, Layla walked over to him and asked, "Where did Mommy go? Why did she leave so early in the morning? Did you make her angry?" "Your mother went to visit your grandmother's grave," Elliot explained. " She misses your grandmother." Layla responded, "Oh. | miss her too.
Although | haven't seen her in a long time, | still remember that she lovesa lot." "Hmm. Have you all eaten breakfast?" Elliot asked.
"Yes! Aunt Shea has already left!" Layla said, "Uncle Adrian is not up yet." "Hmm, then I'll go have breakfast." Elliot patted Layla's head and headed to the dining hall.
He has only sat down for not long when Adrian cout of his room.
"Where's Avery?" Adrian asked.
"She went out. Do you know what tshe went to bed last night?" Elliot asked casually.
Adrian said, "She returned to her room after the countdown. We made wishes." Avery was up until midnight.
Logically speaking, staying up so late at night, she should be exhausted. She would not have been able to wake up that early, yet why had she already left the house at six in the morning? She could have headed to the cemetery at any time. She did not need to go so early.
Even if she missed her mother, she offer her prayers at home. She did not need to go to her grave.
The more Elliot thought about it, the more he felt as if she was hiding something from him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCould it be that she has found out about him meeting Ruby? He looked at his phone saw his nappearing on the news, but it was only because of Susan.
Someone took a photo of Susan coming over to his place to spend the new year, so they were speculating about her identity.
Did the paparazzi not celebrate the new year? How were they actually waiting outside his mansion snapping photos? How professional.
Elliot placed his phone down and picked up a cup of milk. After breakfast, he saw the children having fun together in the living area, so he stayed with them for a while before heading outside.
Ruby gave him quite a few photos of the ultrasound the night before. He was dazzled by it.
Previously, the first the saw the child's ultrasound photo, was when the child was five months old.
Back then, he could still comfort himself by saying that the child was still young. Maybe the child's looks will change.
When Ruby brought the ultrasound photo of the child when it was in its sixth and seventh month, not only did the child's looks not change, but she looked even more like Layla.
Elliot had photos of Layla when she was just born. He copied it from Avery's album the last time, so he could make a comparison that the child in Ruby's did indeed look like Layla.
Elliot held the photo. He was lost. He did not know what to do. Ruby kept saying that the child looked like him, messing his mind even more.
