Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690

Elliot felt that Avery was overreacting, so he sat down next to her.

When the nanny came over with the bowl of soup, she saw that their eyes were glued on each other. She quickly placed the soup on the table and dismissed herself.

“If he really is tired, then he can rest at home for as long as he wants. I have no opinion.” Elliot was worried that Hayden might hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, “It’s been a month since school started. Hasn’t he had enough rest after staying home for a month?”

“I’ll go talk to him later.” Avery picked up her bowl of soup and ate a spoonful of it.

“He might not be tired, but hiding something from you instead.” Elliot took the spoon out of her hand, then continued, “Your son is more complicated than you think.

Avery wanted to snatch the spoon back, but Elliot had already picked up a spoonful of soup and sent it to her lips.

“I don’t want you to feed me.” She got the spoon back with reddened cheeks. 

“I called his teacher and asked about it. She told me that he gets along very well with his schoolmates. Everything was normal during summer camp, too.”

“He could be exposed to other things besides his schoolmates.” Elliot was sure about his guess.

“Besides, he wouldn’t stay at home for a whole month if nothing was wrong ated school.”

Avery did not suspect anything at first, but Elliot’s words instantly filled her with anxiety.

“Finish your soup first.” Elliot picked up his own bowl of soup and casually took a sip. 

“You might not get anything out of him if you asked him directly. You’ll have to ask Mike.”

“I got it. I’ll ask Mike when he gets back,” Avery said softly as she finished her soup. 

“We’re speaking very softly. Someone might think we’re plotting something.”

“Hayden came out for a second but went back to his room when he saw me,” Elliot continued to say softly

“Oh… How about…”

“How about I go and talk to him?” He cut Avery off mid sentence. 

“If I don’t settle the grudge between us, we’ll have more problems when I move in.”

Avery raised her brows and looked directly into Elliot’s burning eyes.

“Do you think you can settle the conflict between you two? Being confident is a good thing, but you’re obviously blindly confident in yourself.”

“What do you think I should do?” Elliot’s mood turned cold after being insulted.

 “He won’t accept any of my good will and avoids me every time he sees me. I’m out of ideas.”
