"Mommy, the nurse told Hayden to go first because I was scared of the pain. She wanted me to see that there was nothing to it," explained Layla. "Hayden only had his blood taken for my sake. He loves me!"
Avery sighed at the explanation and said," You are both so adorable and good.
Mommy loves you more and more as the days go by!"
"Mom, we love you too!" Layla’s doe-like eyes were filled with joy.
Their bodyguard stood on the side and scratched his head. "Miss Tate, should I cook?"
"Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?"
The bodyguard shook his head. "It is no
problem."
With that, he went into the kitchen.
"Mommy, that uncle cooks really well! He is making buffalo wings for us tonight." Layla grabbed Avery’s hand and mumbled, ’’ Why didn't Uncle Mike come home with you?"
Avery's brows twitched, and she said, "He is busy with something, so we didn’t come home together."
Elliot had turned off her phone, and Mike must have gotten extremely nervous when he could not find her.
She immediately took out her phone from her purse and turned it on. When she saw the missed calls from Mike, she immediately called him back.
Mike picked up right away. "Avery! Can't you just give me a heads-up next time
Elliot takes you away?! Don't you know how worried I was?"
Embarrassed, Avery changed the subject." Why were you fighting with Chad again?"
Zoe came out from the living room and stood before him.
"Elliot, I came here tonight to check on Shea," she said with a calm smile on her face. "She is recovering well. I think you are able to tell that as well. Also, I am here to inform you that I will be moving out of the old Foster mansion in a few days." "You can stay there," he said. Zoe shook her head. "It's not appropriate. I will go apartment hunting soon."
"You don’t want to stay in the place I arranged for you?"
"No. I've already taken so much money from you, so I can't possibly stay in your place? I will find a place that’s nearby to facilitate Shea's recovery," Zoe paused for a brief moment, before continuing, "It's late, so I won't overstay my welcome. Hurry inside. Shea has been waiting for you."
Elliot felt slightly surprised at how determined Zoe appeared to be. In his mind, Avery's face appeared.
Avery used to love him, and she was just as determined when she broke up with him.
The looks in his eyes turned cold at the thought.
