Chapter 1111
He proposed a solution. “Then move to a bigger mansion.”
“The children and I have gotten used to this place, so we don’t want to move,” Avery said with resignation. “Just
keep your urge to shop in check! I know you are rich, but money can be used to elevate our personal lives, and it
can also be used for good deeds. You can make donations to poor communities in the mountains or to non-profit
organizations.”

know you think it’s too troublesome to wear them, but I like them on
you.”
She opened the box and found multiple smaller boxes. “Elliot, did you empty the shops?” “I didn’t,” he said. “I didn’t
buy the ones that didn’t look good.” Avery felt helpless. She knew she should be happy to receive such gifts, but she
was not in the slightest bit happy. Her jewelry cabinet did not have the space for this many new pieces. “What did
you buy Layla?” She suppressed the urge to lecture him and asked.
“Mainly hair clips. There are some other things, but I’m not so sure what those are. They look flashy and seem like
the kind of things little girls would like, so I bought those as well.”
The urge to lecture him rose again at his response. “Did you buy gifts for the boys?” She asked. “I bought toys and
snacks for Robert.” “But not for Hayden?” She scanned the trunk carefully. “I did.” He suddenly lowered his tone.
“Oh?” Sensing the guilt in his voice, she asked, “What did you buy Hayden? Show me.” He walked toward the back
seat and opened the door to take a pile of handwriting practice workbooks out of the car.
Hayden’s class teacher had shown Hayden’s homework to Elliot during the birthday party, and Elliot had realized
that his son’s handwriting was horrible. Therefore, when he walked past the book store earlier, he bought the
workbooks in hopes that his son’s handwriting would improve.

he is going to be so angry that he won’t be able to sleep.” Avery accepted the workbooks ARWDMAFR went inside
the house to put them away. Once Avery was inside the living room, Layla whispered to Elliot, “Dad, why are you
buying us so many gifts?”
“It’s because I’m earning so much money. If I don’t spend some, I will lose the motivation to
make more money.” Layla tried her best to process what her father said and said, “Oh, don’t worry, Dad, I will
spend your money for you.” Elliot received a message from the paternity center at eight o’clock the next morning.
He was having breakfast with Avery in the dining room when he got the message. He opened the message when he
noticed the screen of his phone lit up. He tapped on the link attached and saw the results of the paternity test.
