Mike: [She cto Aryadelle to look for Elliot. Elliot, that jerk, actually went to meet her! Letask you! Is he a jerk or not! 1 Chad: [... He is a jerk!] Mike: [Hahaha!] Chad: [How could he do this?! How could he do this to Avery and his three children?!] Chad was a little sad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike: [When he's smart, he is pretty smart, but when he's dumb, he really is an idiot. He has been tricked by Ruby!] Chad perked up. [He has been tricked? My god! Has Ruby tricked him to sleep with her?] As Avery had run away from home, Chad thought that the matter was much more serious.
Mike: [Hah! If he has slept with Ruby, | wouldn't tell you that he has been tricked. | would just say that he had an affair, okay!] Chad: [Oh, then how was he tricked? You say things halfway! It's annoying! | really want to hit you!] Mike: [Ruby said the child in her looks like Layla and he believed it. Don’t you find it funny! I'm really laughing to death!] Chad: [What is so funny about it! You're strange!] Mike: [You idiot! Layla looks like Avery, yet Ruby lied to Elliot saying that their child looks like Avery, don't you find it funny!] Chad: [F*ck me! Ruby isn't really bright either, right? She could lie once, but she can't like it for the rest of her life!] In the guest room, Avery sat down by the side of the bed. Elliot bent down in front of her, looking at her piously.
"Last night, Ruby looked for me. She wantedto see her and the child one last time. She said she won't cto Aryadelle anymore, so | went." Elliot explained the incident the night before to her.
"Why would you believe her? After she gives birth to the child and takes the child to see you, you will still see her," Avery said firmly." Elliot, | underestimated the threat Ruby poses to our relationship." "Avery, I'm sorry. | shouldn't have seen her. | shouldn't have believed her words. She said that the child looks like Layla. | went to see her out of curiosity..." Elliot cclean. "I really don’t have any feelings for Ruby." "I know. | believe that you don't have any feelings for her, but | also believe that you do have feelings for your child with her." Avery clutched his face. "You can’t just ignore your children. You used to hate children, but when you saw Hayden =a"= RIW; Layla, you naturally assumed responsibility for them." Elliot lowered his gaze. He could not promise Avery that he would not see the child ever again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Ruby took the child over to his house, how could he shut the door on their faces? He felt that Ruby would surely do such a thing, just like how Ruby kept using the fake ultrasound photo to lie to him! Ruby could cup with anything! "Avery, | won't divorce you. | won't give up our children," Elliot told her about his decision after sthinking. "Don't you dare think of leavingor taking the children away!" "Are you coming here to argue with me?" Avery retracted her hands. She was so furious she was trembling.
"No." Elliot got up. He hugged her in his arms once more. He choked up a little. "lI don't want to make you angry. Seeing you sad is the last thing 1 want. I'm only afraid that you would secretly decide to leave me." "Elliot, letbe alone. | want to be alone." Avery's eyes reddened. Tears swell in her eyes.
"No. | can't leave you alone." He knew her too well. If she were to be alone, she would surely overthink things and do something extreme.
"Then, what do you wantto do!" Avery cried and threw a punch at his shoulder." Are you askingto bear with it for the rest of my life? You want the child you have with Ruby...” "No! Avery, | don't want that child." Elliot clutched her angry face with both hands tightly. He placed his forehead against her forehead. "I swear | won't ever see Ruby again, but if that child comes to find me, | can’t promise you that | won't see her." "What are you going to do then, after seeing that child?" Avery glared at him. "What if the child wants to acknowledge you as her father. What if she kneels and cries and begs you? Elliot, you dare tellthat you will say no! You might make promises tonow to console me, but what if the child is born and you acknowledge her as your daughter. What could | do, then!" Elliot's body tightened. He was speechless.
"Promises are the most worthless thing in this world!" She held his wrists tightly, wanting to pry them off her.
