Chapter 1018
“Nathan White, let’s meet!” Avery had to meet with him to find out his true intention for coming to Aryadelle, or he
would soon become a ticking time-bomb. “Sure, but you are not to tell Elliot that we are meeting!” Nathan chuckled
evilly, “Or he is the one who’s going to suffer!” “You said that you didn’t know Elliot!” Avery shouted, “I asked you if
you knew him before and you said you didn’t know him!” “I wasn’t lying. I didn’t know him before, and I’ve come to
know him since I came to Aryadelle. “Nathan’s voice was both devious and casual. “Why are you getting so worked
up? Is it weird that I know Elliot? Or is it that you think of him as some kind of high mighty god that ordinary people

and said, “Let’s just talk when we meet! Where are you right now? I’ll go find you!” “There’s no need! Give me an
address and I will go find you.” Avery cursed inwardly and thought, ‘This old fox! He is trying to keep his location a
secret!’ In the evening at Starry River Villa, Hayden had returned home from school earlier than usual. He had
completed the assignments his teacher gave him ahead of time and he was also curious to see the gift Elliot bought
for him. He had avoided the topic instinctively when his mother mentioned it earlier that morning, so he hadn’t
seen it, when in truth, he was slightly curious. When he arrived home, Layla immediately ran towards him as though
she had received a big surprise. “Hayden! You came back so early today! I’m so happy to see you!” Layla
suggested enthusiastically, “Let’s take Robert out in his stroller! I take him out to play every day so he likes me
most!”
Hayden had not returned home early to take care of a baby, so he rejected Layla’s proposal with a cold expression.
“Hayden, are you going to do your homework? Me too! Let’s do them together!” Layla followed her brother upstairs
and said, “Oh, right. You haven’t seen the gift Dad bought you,
right?”
An awkward expression flashed by Hayden’s face. “Mom told me this morning.” “I know, but you haven’t even
opened it.” Layla grabbed his wrist BUG2{nGQ said, “I’ll take you to it!” The siblings entered the room and Layla led
Hayden to the box that contained miscellaneous documents. She pointed at the box and a new handwriting
workbook inside and said, “There.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat’s the gift Dad bought for you!” Hayden stared at the workbooks and widened his eyes in disbelief and surprise,
before rage
filled his eyes.
‘What kind of gift is this?!’ He thought, ‘Elliot thinks that my handwriting is so horrible that he has decided to buy
these workbooks to mock me?’ Hayden raised his leg and kicked the box. Layla scowled when she saw the box
being kicked at and exclaimed, “Hayden, why are you kicking the box? Do you not like the workbook Dad bought
you? Mom bought you the same thing before and you didn’t get mad! it’s okay if you don’t like Dad, but you
shouldn’t kick stuff around!” :
Hayden’s expression darkened. “Get out, Layla!” Layla narrowed her eyes and shouted furiously, “Fine! I don’t ever
want to see a brother as rude as you are!”
Downstairs, Mrs. Cooper heard the siblings arguing and hurried upstairs. Hayden and Layla had always been close
and though the two had occasionally gotten into arguments, they had never been in a big fight.
