Mike: [She came to Aryadelle to look for Elliot. Elliot, that jerk, actually went to meet her! Let me ask you! Is he a jerk or not!
]
Chad: [... He is a jerk!]
Mike: [Hahaha!]
Chad: [How could he do this?! How could he do this to Avery and his three children?!]
Chad was a little sad.
Mike: [When he's smart, he is pretty smart, but when he's dumb, he really is an idiot. He has been tricked by Ruby!]
Chad perked up. [He has been tricked? My god! Has Ruby tricked him to sleep with her?]
As Avery had run away from home, Chad thought that the matter was much more serious.
Mike: [Hah! If he has slept with Ruby, I wouldn't tell you that he has been tricked. I would just say that he had an affair, okay!]
Chad: [Oh, then how was he tricked? You say things halfway! It's annoying! I really want to hit you!]
Mike: [Ruby said the child in her looks like Layla and he believed it. Don’t you find it funny! I'm really laughing to death!]
Chad: [What is so funny about it! You're strange!]
Mike: [You idiot! Layla looks like Avery, yet Ruby lied to Elliot saying that their child looks like Avery, don't you find it funny!]
Chad: [F*ck me! Ruby isn't really bright either, right? She could lie once, but she can't like it for the rest of her life!]
"Elliot, let me be alone. I want to be alone." Avery's eyes reddened. Tears swell in her eyes.
"No. I can't leave you alone." He knew her too well. If she were to be alone, she would surely overthink things and do something extreme.
"Then, what do you want me to do!" Avery cried and threw a punch at his shoulder." Are you asking me to bear with it for the rest of my life? You want the child you have with Ruby...”
"No! Avery, I don't want that child." Elliot clutched her angry face with both hands tightly. He placed his forehead against her forehead. "I swear I won’t ever see Ruby again, but if that child comes to find me, I can’t promise you that I won't see her."
"What are you going to do then, after seeing that child?" Avery glared at him. "What if the child wants to acknowledge you as her father. What if she kneels and cries and begs you? Elliot, you dare tell me that you will say no! You might make promises to me now to console me, but what if the child is born and you acknowledge her as your daughter. What could I do, then!"
Elliot's body tightened. He was speechless.
"Promises are the most worthless thing in this world!" She held his wrists tightly, wanting to pry them off her.
