Chapter 575
“I accepted the offer because I feel relaxed whenever I’m with Shea and I love it,” he continued, “Elliot then gave my parents a tremendous amount of money in secret.”
Avery’s lips curled into a smile. “You should take the money if he insists.”
Wesley shook his head. “I told my parents to donate the money. I don’t like the feeling of being a charity case. It makes me look pitiable, but I’ve never considered myself that way.”
“Maybe he doesn’t mean it like that Wesley.”
Wesley looked over with gentle eyes and responded in a calm tone, “I know he meant well. Avery, if you can say all these things to me, why couldn’t you think the same way?”
She blushed slightly. “Can’t I?”
“It’s not wise for you to break up with Elliot. You are pregnant and you need someone to take care of you.” Wesley studied her face and deadpanned, “after what happened, can you not tell how he feels about you?”
Avery lowered her gaze as her heart grewóf heavier.
“You are gentle and reasonable in front of everyone else; you only become rude and arrogant whenever you are with him. He’s spoiled you.”
“Wesley, how can you say that about me?” Avery felt a bit68 misunderstood.
Wesley’s tone softened and said, “it just pains me to watch you raise three kids on your own.”
“Hayden and Layla have grown up and they don’t worry me,” she said, “you probably think that Elliot acts as mature to me as he does in front of everyone else, don’t you? He talked about Chelsea yesterday on purpose to piss me off. He is ridiculous and childish, and I might as well depend on myself instead of hoping that he can raise children.”
Wesley had no experience in this regard and was rendered speechless.
That afternoon, Avery received a call from Chelsea.
Elliot had told her to contact Chelsea to pay him back the night before. However, Avery didn’t feel comfortable about it and did not reach out to Chelsea, but to her surprise, Chelsea took the initiative to call her.
