Chad deeply understood Elliot's feelings.
He was on Elliot's side in the same way that Mike was on Avery's side no matter what happened.
It was two in the morning when the black Rolls-Roice pulled up at the Foster mansion.
The living room lights were still on.
When Elliot got out of the car, Mrs. Cooper immediately emerged from the house.
"Did something happen over at Avery's, Master Elliot? Hayden called Shea around
10 p.m. just now asking her to go over there.
The moment Elliot heard Hayden's name, his frigid heart began to ache once again.
Avery did not only abandon him, he also left behind her two children.
"It’s late, Master Elliot. You should get some rest!" Mrs. Cooper saw the darkness on Elliot's face, and did not say more.
Elliot dragged his heavy body and walked into his bedroom like a zombie.
When his reddened eyes landed on the bed, the memory of Avery cruelly walking away from him entered his mind.
He could not help but suspect that they had not made up at all, and that everything that happened that day was his own imagination!
It was only in his dreams that he had ever seen Avery make the first move like that.
That's why, he was sure that none of it was real!
However, the pain in heart was more real than any of the times he had woken up from his nightmares.
Time went on through the night, and dawn quickly showed its face.
A car pulled up in front of the Foster mansion at seven in the morning, and Shea emerged from it.
When Mrs. Cooper saw Shea return, she rushed up to her and asked, "What happened, Shea? Isn't Avery home? Where did she go?"
"Avery went to Bridgedale," Shea said. "Is Elliot home?"
This was the first time Mrs. Cooper heard Shea address Elliot by his name, so she was stunned.
"Yes, he is. He got home late last night, so he might still be sleeping."
