"Then... What does Avery think?" Ben hesitated for a moment before asking this question because the answer was already clearly written on Elliot's face.
Elliot took out a cigarette and lit it up.
"Don’t smoke so much, Elliot." Ben noticed the new lighter in Elliot's hand and guessed that he had probably smoked a lot in the past few days.
"I didn't want to embarrass the children," Elliot said as his bloodshot eyes glistened with deep hatred. "I want Charlie Tierney to die a horrible death!"
When he said that he did not want to embarrass the children, Ben instantly understood what he was feeling.
Layla and Hayden were already attending school. They were no longer three-year-olds.
They could find out about any of society's trending news from their classmates and teachers.
If things got blown out of proportion, would their classmates view them differently? Would they also think that Layla and Hayden were abnormal?
Over in Bridgedale, Eric took Avery and the twins out skiing.
Avery did not feel like going out, but since the children wanted to go, she had to agree to it.
She was not very good at skiing, so Eric guided her the entire time.
Experiencing new things could indeed make a person temporarily forget their troubles.
After spending the entire day out, Avery was completely out of energy and had no strength left to think too much.
"Thanks for today, Eric!" Mike said. "Did you post the photos up on social media to try to p*ss someone off?"
"I just wanted to share my daily life with my fans," Eric responded.
Mike especially liked this about Eric.
