NovelEnglishAvery's answer stunned Hayden for a few seconds.
He was still a child, and the most he could express was his 'like' for someone, not ‘love However, Avery said that she loved Elliot and could never love anyone else except him.
There was nothing Hayden could do except accept that.

Avery turned around and saw Elliot walking over with Layla in his arms.
"Don't you think you were a little too direct earlier?" Elliot blushed slightly. "What | mean by that is, do you think you are pushing him a bit too much?" Avery knew that she was a little impulsive earlier.
Then again, they would have to face it sooner or later. It would be better off talking about the elephant in the room instead of pretending that it did not exist.
"Maybe | was a little impatient.” She lowered her eyes slightly and sighed. "I don’t want to have to worry about how he would react when we finally get married. Whether he’s able to accept it or not, at least | don't have to be so cautious with you anymore after being upfront with him." "Daddy, could you putdown?" Layla struggled. "I'm going to talk to Hayden." Elliot put her down right away.
"You can do that later, Layla. Hayden said that he has a test, so bothering him at this tmight not be a good idea.” Avery held her daughter's little hand. "Let's go down and play with Robert!" "Oh, is it that important competition that Hayden is going to participate in?" Layla asked curiously.
Avery looked at Elliot. "I's in June, isn't it? " "Yeah. He has to pass the qualifying round before he can participate in the competition. It's soon," Elliot said. "We'll see how he performs then." "The qualifying round? You mean the one where the whole class is fighting for one spot?" "Yes." Avery frowned immediately. "This competition is very important to him. If | knew he was going to be competing soon, | wouldn't've picked this tto upset him." Elliot held her by the shoulders =d#;PKU< comforted her. "Don't blyourself. I'm sure he can handle it." "He might be smart for his age, but he's still a child. I'll find a tto apologize to him later.” Avery felt even more guilty. "It's all your fault, Elliot." Elliot was speechless.
"I wouldn't need to put him in a tight spot if it wasn't to make your life at ha little more comfortable.” She made a point to vent her frustration onto him. "You might not have put any pressure on me, but | feel that pressure whenever | see you." "It's my fault." He apologized. "How about | go back to my place and stay there for a couple of days?" "Did you forget that Adrian's living there now? Are you fine with living with him if you went back?" she reminded.

He had completely forgotten about it! The past few days had been quite blissful for him and he forgot Adrian's existence since that man was never mentioned! "You should just stay here with me. I've already had a heart-to-heart with Hayden, and from what | know about him, he wouldn't treat you as an enemy anymore," Avery reassured. "l know my son." Elliot's pupils widened slightly. "Really?" "Yes, really. He's very obedient." Deep down, Avery felt a little uncomfortable when she said that. "That's why | never wanted to force him because | knew he'd listen toif | did." Elliot was a little excited.
He longed to reconcile with Hayden, and although the process was a little unpleasant when Avery stepped forward and explained things, he could always make it up to Hayden in the future if the results were positive.
"Thank you, Darling,” he said in a low and hoarse voice. He could not resist kissing her on the cheek.
Avery blushed shyly.
