Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 501

After listening to Mike, Elliot turned and left.

Once Elliot’s car sped off, Mike finally let out a heavy sigh.

Shea arrived at Avery’s house the next morning accompanied by Mrs. Scarlet.

The children were in the middle of breakfast when they saw Shea walk in. Their eyes flickered, but they did not say anything, nor did they walk out of the dining room.

Mike flashed a smile at Shea and asked, “What brings you here this early?”

He thought that Elliot was the one who arrived!

“I came to apologize to Avery, Layla and Hayden, “Shea said in a clear, determined voice. “It was wrong of my brother and me to be late last night.

“You don’t need your apology, Shea. The one who should be apologizing is your brother,” Mike said as he walked over with a glass of milk in his hand.

“Big Brother will come over to apologize later,” Shea said as her cheeks turned pink. “I couldn’t wait, so I came myself first.”

Mike chuckled , then said, “This has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to apologize, nor do you need to feel bad.”

Shea did not agree with him.

“My brother took me to meet a new doctor yesterday. The doctor was staying somewhere really far away and we drove for a long time before we got there… If it weren’t for me, Big Brother wouldn’t have been late.”

At this point, Layla walked out from the dining room.

“Is that true, Shea?”

Hey eyes were still swollen from crying too much the night before.

Shea nodded furiously and said, “It’s the truth!”

Hayden finished his breakfast and walked past the living room. He picked up his backpack and prepared to leave for school.

Shea saw him, then hurried over to him and said, “I’m sorry, Hayden! I really didn’t mean to be late last night.”

Hayden was not upset with Shea.He shook off Shea’s hand, then said coldly, “I’m going to school”
