Chapter 182 The loud sound startled Avery and Mike and they looked at the door with surprise. From there, they saw Elliot’s face looking horrible and sunken as if someone had offended him.
“Hi, Avery’s ex-husband!” Mike jumped off the table and marched towards Elliot as he greeted Elliot cheerfully.
Avery felt pain in her temples. Mike had no idea what a scary person Elliot was. It was up to Avery to stop Mike from inviting his own death. Avery quickly strode toward Mike and pulled him backward.
This action caused Elliot’s anger to slowly rise. What was the relationship between the both of them, Elliot wondered? Why was Avery being so protective of this inappropriate-looking man?
“Why are you here?” Avery stood in front of Elliot as she looked up at him, “Is there still reason for us to meet anymore?”
Elliot clenched his fingers so tightly that the paper in his hand almost ripped apart. He walked a step forward so that his body got closer to Avery.
Avery could feel the anger in Elliot rising and he could lash out at any time. She quickly pushed Mike out of the door and said, “Wait for me outside.”
After she pushed Mike out of the office, she closed the door.
“Who is that man?” Elliot questioned Avery with her cheek slowly turning red.
There was no one else in the room spectating, so Avery was no longer afraid of Elliot.
“Elliot, don’t force me to be rude. I don’t want to fight with you,” Avery said as she took the piece of paper away from Elliot’s hand, “This is…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Hayden’s name on the piece of paper. Her body started to shiver and her face was full of terror and nervousness.
Elliot looked at the change of expression on Avery’s face coldly. His intuition became stronger.
“Avery Tate! Is this child mine?” said Elliot with a cold and sharp voice, without any trace of warmth.
