Elliot and Avery novel Chapter 718

As loathing seeped out of Avery's eyes, she could not hold her voice back.

Mike and the two children simultaneously turned to look in their direction.

Elliot immediately pulled Avery toward her bedroom.

"What happened? Why are they fighting again?" Mike mumbled under his breath as he pulled out his phone and texted Chad.

Chad: [Watch the kids. Don't care about anything else. ]

Mike: [No wonder you didn't want to come over tonight. Did your boss decide to let Chelsea Tierney go?"]

Chad: [Watch your mouth. He has his reasons no matter what he decides to do.]

Mike: [D*mn it! I shouldn't have showed you the evidence! ]

Chad: [Chelsea isn't in the country right now. How doyou expect us to find her? Find her yourself sinceyou're so amazing. ]

Mike: [I see. If that's the case, then Avery won't be mad.]

In the bedroom on the first floor, Elliot shut the door, then gazed deeply at Avery and said, "Have you met someone with a mental illness, Avery?"

His words made Avery's brows furrow tightly. "Are you trying to say that Chelsea has a mental illness?"

"No, I'm just asking if you've met someone like that." Elliot saw that she had calmed down, so he led her to sit on the bed.

Avery pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I have, but why are you asking me about that?"
