Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270 

“They have their birthdays on the same day? A coincident?” thought Avery. 

Avery took her son’s hand and walked toward the door.

A towering figure appeared before her. 

Elliot was dressed in a black trench coat that made him look cold and distant. She was not sure if it was her eyes playing tricks on her, or if he really did look thinner. 

After two seconds of hesitation, Avery decided to wish him a happy birthday. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Shea throwing herself at Elliot, and with her arms around him, she said, “Big Brother, here‘s your cake.” 

Avery was standing right next to Elliot and heard every word Shea said. 

“Big Brother?!” she thought, “Did Shea just call Elliot big brother?” 

Avery scowled as she studied Shea. 

Shea could sense Avery‘s glare, and she met Avery‘s eyes. Perhaps it was because of the stern expression on Avery‘s face, but Shea felt slightly nervous. 

She wanted to invite Avery to share the cake, but she ended up choking on her words.

“You called him Big Brother?” Avery asked sharply. She had not intended to scare Shea, but she could not help how sharp her words sounded.

Startled, Shea hid behind Elliot, and he grabbed onto her hand tightly. “Don’t be afraid, Shea. Let‘s go get some cake.” 

The two walked past Avery and stepped into the classroom. 

When Hayden saw the dazed state his mother was in, he tugged at her and said, “Mom, let‘s go home.”

Avery looked away, readjusted herself, and left with her son. 

When they were inside the car, Hayden noticed the frown on Avery’s face and said, “Shea calls me big brother as well.”

Avery turned to look at Hayden as realization dawned upon her.
