Chapter 1645
After about a week or so, Ben Schaffer set off from the airport of Aryadelle and appeared at the capital airport of Yonroeville in a low-key manner.
On this trip, he didn’t specifically report to Elliot again. But when he called Elliot to ask for leave, Elliot didn’t ask anything. The things they said at Shea’s wedding before were like mirrors in their hearts.
Ben Schaffer strode out of the airport, and a figure immediately swayed in front of him.
“Are you Mr. Schaffer?” A middle-aged man asked politely.
Ben Schaffer nodded.
“My lady sent me to pick you up. Please come here.” The middle-aged man said.
Ben Schaffer saw that the other party was polite, so he followed. He originally wanted to contact Rebecca after he came over, but Rebecca kept asking him when he would come.
So before boarding the plane, he sent Rebecca flight information.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Ben Schaffer got off the car, and the nanny came out immediately and invited him into the house.
“Our lady is still in confinement and is not suitable to go out. Please forgive me.” The nanny explained.
“Is Hazel okay?” Ben Schaffer was more concerned about the child.
“The doctor comes every day. The doctor said this morning that Hazel is fine. As long as there is no recurrence within a month, it will be fine.” The nanny brought Ben Schaffer into the house.
After changing the shoes, Ben Schaffer saw Rebecca holding Hazel in the living room.
“Hello Ben Schaffer.” Rebecca walked to Ben Schaffer and greeted him gently, “Thank you for coming to see me and Haze. When Haze grows up, I will definitely tell Haze that Your Uncle Ben has given this name to you.”
Ben Schaffer looked at Haze in Rebecca’s arms.
The little guy was much smaller than expected.
She slept soundly with her eyes closed.
“Do you want to hug Haze?” Rebecca asked.
Ben Schaffer coughed lightly: “she’s too young, I can’t hold her. And she’s sleeping, I’m afraid to wake her up.”
“She won’t wake up. She has 24 hours a day, about 20 hours of sleep.” Rebecca took the initiative to hand the child to Ben Schaffer, “Elliot can’t come here. If you hug her, it counts as Elliot hugging her too.”
Ben Schaffer was afraid that Haze would fall to the ground, so he immediately stretched out his hands and took the child over.
Probably because his posture was too rigid, after the child was held in his arms, he opened his big bright eyes shortly after.
The moment Ben met the child’s dark eyes, Ben Schaffer’s heart was struck like an electric shock!
This child, this living child…isn’t it Layla?
Ben Schaffer stared blankly at the child’s little face, speechless in surprise.
Rebecca noticed ben’s abnormality. She smiled sweetly and said, “Do you think Haze is very similar to Layla? Because she is Elliot’s child, she and Layla are a bit similar. If Elliot could see her with his own eyes, definitely not willing to abandon her.”
Ben Schaffer recovered from the shock.
“Rebecca, Layla looks like Avery, not Elliot.”
“I’ve seen photos of Layla, and I think Layla also looks like Elliot otherwise, how would you explain it? Elliot’s child and I look like Layla?” Rebecca argued with him.
Ben Schaffer was speechless when Rebecca questioned him.
He didn’t know how to answer, and he couldn’t explain it.
“The doctor said that the child may become more and more like me when he grows up.” Rebecca continued, seeing that he did not speak, “I don’t want her to look like me. I hope she can look like Elliot.”
“Rebecca, the name I gave your child… Why don’t you change it?” Ben Schaffer’s eyes fell on Rebecca, “I came here this time not only to visit the child, but also to tell you Elliot’s thoughts.”
Rebecca quietly waited for him to say the following words.
“Elliot won’t recognize this child. He don’t want this child to have his surname. So you can change the child’s surname to Jobin.” Ben Schaffer looked at her, “Hazel Jobin, it sounds very nice.”
Rebecca’s eyes were slightly red: ” Do you have to change it?”
Ben Schaffer said, “I suggest you to change it. If you choose to give this child the surname Foster, believe me, Elliot will only hate her more. If her surname is yours, Elliot may not hate her so much. Because of this incident a few days ago, he was very unhappy. I showed him the pictures of the child, and he also knew that the child looked like Layla, but this will not change the fact that he will be loyal to Avery and his marriage. “
Rebecca felt like she had been beaten by frost, and her whole body wilted.
“He won’t come here to see me and the child… If I take the child to Aryadelle to find him.”
“Don’t do this.” Ben Schaffer continued to persuade her, “At least not now. Until his relationship with Avery changes, he will never see you and Haze. If you insist on doing your best, only you and your children will be hurt. “
“I see.” Rebecca had tears in her eyes, “Ben Schaffer, when are you going to leave?”
“I don’t know. But I won’t stay here for long.” Ben Schaffer replied.
“Can you stay here for a few more days? Spend more time with Haze? I feel like you’re gone this time, and you’ll never come again.” Rebecca choked, “Maybe I gave birth to Haze, just one Wrong.”
Seeing her so pessimistic and painful, Ben Schaffer couldn’t bear it and said, “I’ll stay for three days at most.”
“Thank you. Can you stay at my house? After my father died, I was the only one at home. I often feel like a dream.” Rebecca and the child now lived in the house where Kyrie lived before.
Ben Schaffer looked around.
In this house, in addition to Rebecca and Haze, there were several nanny and bodyguards. He’s not too embarrassed to live here. In addition, he came here to see Haze, so living here makes it more convenient to see Haze.
Ben: “That’s bothering me.”
“Why bother? It would be great if you could come to see Haze every year.” Rebecca said gratefully.
“As long as you don’t mess around, I can come to see you every year.” Ben Schaffer’s eyes fell on Haze’s face and couldn’t help but praise, “Haze is so cute. As cute as Layla.”
…….
Aryadelle.
p>The series of events involved in the listing review of Wonder Technologies was dubbed the black swan event by netizens.
No one would have imagined that such a large company would fail. Not only did it go down, but it was also implicated in more serious economic crimes.
Even Elliot was involved.
At the Tate Industries’s new product launch conference, reporters raised their hands and asked Avery questions.
“Ms. Tate, some people said that Wonder Technologies was destroyed by Tate Industries. I wonder if you have anything to explain.” The reporter asked.
Avery looked at the camera calmly: “You should ask this question to the person who said Wonder Technologies was destroyed by Tate Industries. Because I don’t know anything about it. My team doesn’t know either.”
The reporter continued to ask : “Ms. Tate, I heard that the new product you launched this time was originally planned by Wonder Technologies… You poached the R&D team of Wonder Technologies before Wonder Technologies was ready to launch the new product. Is this something?”
Avery: “I don’t know if everyone skips the slot. If you skip the slot, then you should be able to understand other people’s job-hopping behavior.”
“Ms. Tate, now the Tate Industries is affiliated to the Sterling Group, Is it under the control of Sterling Group, or is it operated independently?”
Avery: “Up to now, the management has been with the original team.”
“Ms. Tate, is it true that Sofia, the legal person of Wonder Technologies, was sentenced to five years in the first instance? She is really Elliot’s mother. Is the relationship between their mother and son not very good? The Internet said that Sofia was framed, if it wasn’t for Elliot, why didn’t Elliot help her?” The reporter threw more tricky questions.
Mike directly took the microphone from Avery and answered for her: “Do you think Elliot is a god, or do you think Elliot is a law maker? Sofia has committed a crime, so she must be punished by the law. In Aryadelle, you must abide by the rules of Aryadelle. The law, I thought it was common sense that everyone knew, but I didn’t expect you to understand it.”
The reporter who asked questions from the audience turned pale and red.
“Also, you care so much about Elliot’s relationship with the f*ck, why don’t you leave me a number, and when the press conference is over, I’ll let him call you directly, okay?” Mike’s tone carried Strong smoke smell.
Avery brought the microphone over to ease the atmosphere of the scene.
“I hope all journalists and friends will ask more questions related to the press conference. I will not reply to any irrelevant questions in the future. Thank you for your understanding.”
After half an hour, the event ended.
Mike unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Avery.
“Is there a sense of emptiness?” Mike picked up his water bottle, took a sip, and asked.
“You mean Wonder Technologies has collapsed, and I have no rivals, so it will be very empty?” Avery took a sip of water and began to think about this question carefully, “There is no emptiness. Because Wanda took so much money, I don’t know now. Where are you going to be happy. Every time I think about it, my heart aches.”
“It’s not your money that was taken away.” Mike quipped, “Look at it!”
“Wash your face with tears!” Avery picked up the phone and glanced at the time, “No wonder I feel hungry, let’s go eat!”
Mike: “Well.”
“I want to see Sofia in the afternoon.” Avery walked from the hotel with him, “Sofia called me once before, and Hayden answered.”
Mike teased, “Sofia wants to ask you for help, right? It’s useless for her to ask you. But it’s okay for you to visit her, anyway, Elliot won’t look at it.”
“Why do you have such a big opinion on Elliot? It’s okay for you to say that in front of me, but don’t do it in front of him.” Avery looked up at Mike, and quickly changed her mind, “Don’t say it in front of me either. I also feel sad.”
Mike pursed his lips, looking sullen.
“I’m very good with him now. The past is over.” Avery continued, “Mike, people move forward. I let him go, and I let go of myself.”
Mike was greatly touched when he heard her words.
Mike: “I see. As long as you are really happy, I don’t have to be so careful.”
“I am really happy. Elliot is very good to me and to our children.” Avery recalled the relationship between himself and Elliot. Along the way, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise, “But I’m going to see Sofia, and I don’t want to tell her for the time being. I’m afraid he’s in a bad mood.”
Sofia was a little surprised when she saw Avery.
“Did Elliot ask you to come?” Sofia wore handcuffs on her hands, her eyes flashing with hope.
Avery shook her head: “Auntie, he’s been a little busy recently. When he’s not so busy in the future, I’ll bring him to see you together.”
“I know he’s a busy man. Don’t ask him to come to see me, I don’t want him to come to see me. The children I brought up feel that I am a shame and have never come to see me.” Sofia said sadly, “It can be considered that I am self-inflicted and deserved.”
Avery didn’t know how to answer.
“Auntie, you still have the opportunity to commute your sentence. If you can commute your sentence, you must be careful when you come out later, and don’t be deceived by unfamiliar people again.”
“Thank you for comforting me.” Sofia was a little moved. Also a little uncomfortable.
Avery said, “If you need anything in the future, you can call me and I’ll bring it to you. I can’t help you, I can only do small things for you.”
Sofia: “You can have this heart, I’m very touched.”
Visiting time soon arrived.
Avery watched Sofia being taken away with a heavy and complicated mood.
Five years, for young people, may have passed in a flash, but when Sofia is old, after spending five years in prison, she may feel that the world has changed.
After coming out of prison, Avery quickly adjusted her mood. She planned to talk to Elliot about Sofia at night. Probably because her parents had already left her, she didn’t want to see Sofia’s death tragic.
On the way back to the company, Avery received a call from Wesley. She slowed the car, put on a Bluetooth headset, and answered the phone.
“Avery, can you come to my house now?” Wesley’s voice seemed to be choked with pleading.
Avery immediately pulled the car to the side and stopped.
She frowned and said worriedly, “Brother Wesley, what happened?”
Over the phone, Wesley took a deep breath: “Shea is pregnant.”
Avery was stunned.
…..
Brook family.
Shea sat on the sofa, crying with tears all over her face.
Elliot stood in front of her with a solemn expression, his body tense.
Before getting close to him, Shea could feel the chill emanating from him.
Wesley stood beside Elliot, as if he was afraid that Elliot would get angry and attack Shea.
After Avery arrived, Wesley immediately pulled Elliot away a few steps.
“Brother Wesley, what’s going on? Why is Shea pregnant?” Avery stood in front of Elliot and asked Wesley.
“Avery, it was me… I did it on purpose.” Shea cried with red eyes and her voice was intermittent, “I want children… I see you have children, I am very envious. ……So I…”
Shea said here, crying out of breath, and the words that followed were stuck in her mouth and couldn’t come out.
