"Don't talk about this in front of the children. We'll talk about our matters in private." Avery planned to properly talk to him after sending the children to school.
Elliot had thought that he could escape the lecture, but looking at Avery, he knew he was going to receive a lecture later.
"Hayden, stay and have fun for a few more days!" Elliot looked at his son benevolently.
Hayden looked at the sickly Elliot. He found it hard to compete head-to-head with him.
"Don't think about me! Just look after yourself!" Hayden did not know how to talk to him properly. Although his words were harsh, it was not as cold and harsh as before.
"Hmm. I will indeed have to care for myself in the future. I cannot be a burden to you all," Elliot said self-reproachingly.
"Hayden's not blaming you." Avery was afraid that Elliot would misunderstand Hayden. "He came back to see you. Naturally, he does not hate you as he had in the past."
Robert heard everything Avery said. He was confused. He looked up at Hayden. "Hayden, why do you hate my Daddy?"
Hayden was speechless.
Avery awkwardly picked Robert up and said, "Hayden doesn't hate Daddy."
"Mommy, you said it yourself just now. You said that Hayden hates Daddy." Robert blinked his huge eyes. He was sure he had not misheard her.
"Hayden did indeed hate Daddy a little in the past, but that's in the past," Avery said, but Robert did not understand.
Robert glared at Hayden.
"Okay, now you've seen Daddy, you can go to school! I'll send you to kindergarten." Hayden took Robert from Avery's arms, forcefully taking him out of the ward.
"We were chatting about his and Lilith's wedding. He said that I have to get better before they can hold the wedding." Elliot said to Avery, "I should be better, more or less, by Christmas, right? Why don't we tell them to hold on Christmas day? I feel bad that they have to delay their wedding because of me."
"What is there to feel bad about? If they really wanted to get married, they can get married whenever they want to. Elliot, don't compromise yourself for anyone ever again."
Avery used that topic to talk to him seriously. "We should put an end to Ivy's matter!"
Elliot wanted to discuss this with her after he woke up too.
"Avery, I won't stop sending people to look for her."
"Of course, there would be no problem sending people, but we should not fall into other people's traps because of this. Many people know about Ivy. Many of them want to secretly use Ivy to set us up," Avery said, putting the situation into perspective.
