Chapter 1646
Elliot hasn’t ended the video call yet.
Rebecca was even more certain that Elliot had feelings for Haze and had deep feelings.
This bond of flesh and blood couldn’t be stopped by anyone.
“Elliot, I didn’t mean it just now. I won’t lose control like this in the future. I will take good care of Haze and bring her up.” Rebecca assured him.
“It’s very late, put her to bed!” After Elliot finished speaking, he hung up the video call. He clutched the phone tightly, in a mess.
Before looking at the photos alone, it was not so intuitive and strong impact. When he saw Haze in the video, her frowns and movements attracted his attention and easily tugged at his heartstrings.
If it wasn’t for reason to stop him, when he saw Haze crying just now, he would have wanted to fly to her side immediately and carry her back.
There was a knock on the office door, pulling his sanity back to reality.
Chad pushed the door open and put a cup of coffee on his table, “Boss, are you okay?”
“Shea is pregnant.” Elliot picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, “I don’t want to kill it, I have to give birth.”
Chad’s face changed greatly: “Why is Shea like this? Wesley also… How can he be so careless?”
Elliot gritted his teeth: “Wesley followed her in everything!”
“…Yes. If Wesley treated her badly, how could shea be willing to leave your side.” Chad Sighing, “What should I do? I can’t really let her give birth to the baby, right?”
“She won’t listen to me.” Elliot felt a throbbing pain in his heart at the thought of Shea crying and asking him to treat her as a normal person. ” Avery is persuading her.”
“Then let Avery persuade her.! I’m afraid she can’t bear your temper.” Chad said here, the conversation changed, “Brother Ben is going to Yonroeville?”
“Well.” Elliot’s expression darkened, “Ben is very Sympathy for Rebecca and that child.”
“It’s understandable that he sympathizes with that child, but why should he sympathize with Rebecca?” Chad was greatly puzzled, “Isn’t Brother Ben so unclear?”
Elliot did not expect Ben Schaffer will do this.
“Then how do you explain that he lives in Rebecca’s house? Is there no hotel in Yonroeville?”
Chad was surprised: “He lives in Rebecca’s house?! He is crazy, what the h-e-l-l is he thinking? Shouldn’t he think that Gwen doesn’t look down on him and is ordered by Avery? Otherwise, why would he stand on Rebecca’s side?”
Elliot: “It’s not as complicated as you think. He advised Rebecca not to come to me and persuaded Rebecca to change the child’s surname.”
“Oh…it scared me to death. I thought he was going to be with Rebecca and against us!” Chad breathed a sigh of relief.
Elliot: “It’s not.”
“Well. It should be late at night on his side. I’ll call him when it’s dawn on his side and ask him to come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’m really worried about what Rebecca will do to him.” Chad said.
Elliot: “Rebecca needs Ben to help her, so he won’t be in danger.”
Chad coughed lightly: “I’m worried that Rebecca will use a beauty trick on Brother Ben.”
Elliot couldn’t help admiring his imagination, “What do you have in your head? Is Ben Schaffer so hungry?”
Chad scratched his head: “Although I have never met Rebecca, I feel that Rebecca is a ruthless character. First of all, she is just married to you. When she was a child, she thought of a way to secretly create a child first. Secondly, she was able to kill her own father ruthlessly. Most people would not dare to do this. She is definitely the kind of person who will do anything to achieve her goals. Afraid that Ben Schaffer will be bribed by her and help her deal with me?”
Chad said, “Not against you, but to seduce you. She has never concealed that she wants to get you.”
Elliot picked up the coffee cup and took a sip: ” Ben Schaffer won’t betray me.”
Chad said, “Indeed, I was overthinking it. Probably because Rebecca has your child this time, I always feel uneasy. It would be nice if I could get custody of the child. It’s gone. But I know your difficulties. You definitely can’t want that child.”
Before today, he really thought so, and firmly believed that he would not want that child.
But after a video call with Rebecca and seeing the living child with his own eyes, his determination began to waver.
“If Rebecca doesn’t take good care of that child, I may take that child over.” Elliot expressed his thoughts.
Chad pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, doubting that he heard it wrong. “Boss, you took that child over…Who will take care of it?”
“Look for a babysitter.” Elliot said, “certainly not beside me.”
Chad reminded, “Boss, let me be fair, Avery is right this time. You are really tolerant, I can’t fault her. Don’t break her heart. I suggest that if you really want to take back that child, it is best to keep it outside secretly and don’t let Avery know that the child is being raised by you.”
Elliot didn’t know how to answer Chad.
–What Chad just said was just an assumption.
If Rebecca treats Haze badly, Elliot will do this. But Rebecca promised him in the video call that he would take good care of Haze. So this assumption should not become reality.
After coming out of Elliot’s office, Chad went to the tea room to take a breath.
–Why does Shea’s pregnancy make Elliot suddenly have feelings for the child in Yonroeville?
–Obviously, Elliot didn’t have such an attitude towards Rebecca and the child before.
After Chad poured a large glass of cold water into his stomach, he pressed Curiosity and walked out of the tea room.
In the evening, he couldn’t help but chat with Mike about it.
“I think the fact that Shea’s pregnancy has stimulated my boss. Otherwise, he would not have the idea of taking Rebecca’s child over.” Chad said.
“Haha, scmbag!” Mike picked up the bottle and poured the wine himself, “I promised Avery, and I will treat him well in the future. Because Avery told me that she is now very happy with Elliot, a scmbag. Whoever wants to look forward, the past is gone…”
Chad was not in a hurry to defend Elliot.
“He coaxed Avery well on the surface, but in private he told you that he would take back that illegitimate daughter. He only dared to tell you the truth, do you think he dared to tell Avery that?” Mike fought for Avery.
“Mike, people who become fathers may think differently.” Chad did not defend Elliot without thinking, but expressed his feelings, “No matter how naughty I was or how angry my parents were when I was a child, they would forgive me in the end. The feelings parents have for their children are constantly giving up.”
“Sorry, I don’t have such tolerant parents, and I have never been loved by my parents. So Elliot’s behavior is disgusting in my opinion. What’s the difference between him and stepping on two boats?” Mike drank the wine in one gulp and put the glass down heavily, “I can’t move Elliot, but I can go and teach Rebecca a lesson!”
Chad was startled: “I think you want to court death! Yonroeville belongs to the Jobin family. The site…”
Mike sneered, “Kyrie is dead! Yonroeville is no longer the site of the Jobin family. The era of the Jobin family is over!”
“Even so, you can’t go there. Trouble with Rebecca! Rebecca is not alone now, she has a newborn baby. They will solve their business themselves. If my boss really decides to take back the child, this matter must be concealed she can’t live with Avery. Avery will make his own decision at that time.”
“F*ck! Avery will always be wronged, Why?” Mike jumped out of his chair and stood up.
Chad was afraid that he would mess up, and immediately pushed him back into the chair.
“Mike, don’t be impulsive. If you tell Avery what I said to you, and they break up, what good will it do for us? Besides, my boss didn’t really pick up the child. He just said that He will pick up that child only if Rebecca harm that child but that child is also Rebecca’s flesh and blood, and Rebecca will not do such cruel things.”
Chad reassured him.
Mike rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, very confused.
……
Foster family.
8:00 p.m.
The black Rolls Royce slowly drove into the front yard.
Elliot went upstairs and passed the children’s room when he heard Avery telling Layla a bedtime story.
So he went back to the room to take a shower.
About half an hour later, Avery came out of the children’s room and strode towards the master bedroom.
Elliot had already taken a shower and was blowing his hair.
Avery stood at the bathroom door, looking at him.
Elliot quickly dried his hair and put the hairdryer in the cupboard.
“Elliot, I talked to Shea, but as you said, she insisted on giving birth to a child.” Avery’s face couldn’t hide the tiredness, “Even if I told her that giving birth to a child might lead to death, she said she was not afraid. “
Of course she’s not afraid. If she was a little bit afraid of death, she wouldn’t foolishly give blood to Robert.” Elliot was not surprised by this result.
“What should I do?” Avery was worried, “I talked to Brother Wesley, and Brother Wesley said that he had nothing to do with Shea.”
“He’s a bum!” Elliot couldn’t help scolding, “Since he can’t control it. Shea, you shouldn’t promise to take good care of Shea! Shea is a fool, is Wesley also a fool?”
Avery looked at the angry blue veins on his forehead, and the words he just said echoed in her mind.
Elliot hated the most when others said Shea was a fool. But now, the words came out of his mouth. This means that he lost his mind in anger. He also quickly realized that he had said something wrong, but he didn’t want to correct it.
Because Shea’s current behavior is simply hopelessly stupid.
“You ask me what to do, I don’t know either. If I force her to have an abortion, she will hate me for the rest of her life. And maybe she will secretly get pregnant in the future and won’t tell me anymore…” Elliot said.
“Elliot, let her give birth!” Avery grabbed his arm and looked at him fixedly, “I know you won’t force her. In that case, don’t force yourself.”
Elliot’s mood relaxed a little.
The two went to bed and lay down, Avery turned off the light. Her eyes were open and she couldn’t sleep. She knew that Elliot couldn’t sleep either.
This afternoon, she failed to persuade Shea. When Wesley sent her away, she told her that Shea was like this because of his mother.
Her mood was more complicated.
Although Wesley said that she would go to her mother and let her persuade Shea, she felt that there was little hope. Moreover, she did not dare to tell Elliot the truth.
If she told to Elliot, Elliot might find trouble with her.
If this happens, it will become more and more out of control.
“Avery, what are you thinking?” Elliot saw her eyes open by the moonlight outside the window.
The way she opened her eyes and didn’t speak made him vaguely uneasy.
Avery turned to him and whispered, “Thinking about all kinds of things… my mind is very messy. When I was young, I always thought that I could change everything, but in just ten year , the mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes.”
“Don’t be pessimistic about it.” Ellio comforted.
“It’s not pessimism. It’s that I feel that I can do very little. I thought that after I studied medicine, I could take good care of my mother and let my mother live a long time, but in the blink of an eye, she left me. I thought she was like Tammy. The princess who is held by her parents will be carefree in this life, but her fate has made her experience pain that ordinary people can’t bear. I also thought that Shea would die and be safe and happy in the second half of her life, but…”
Hearing her murmuring beside the pillow, his mood became extremely heavy and depressed.
She thought Elliot would say something, but he said nothing.
The sudden silence made her heart pound violently.
“Elliot, I was going to see your mother.” Avery changed the subject.
Elliot responded with a sound from his chest.
“I asked the prison administrator how the sentence could be reduced.” Avery told him her thoughts truthfully, “Sofia is getting older, and she fell to this point because she was framed by Wanda. Let’s help her!”
Elliot’s breathing was a little heavy, and his voice was calm: “How can we reduce the sentence?”
“Performed well during the sentence, or made meritorious contributions, or made outstanding contributions to society.” Avery told him the method she inquired about, “We can let Sofia Donate a large sum of money to social charities, or repair the prison.”
“Avery if you’re sure you want to help her, then help her!” Elliot had no objection to this, “I will pay for how much money you need.”
“Okay.” Avery stretched out her arms and hugged his body, “Elliot, the reason why I dare to tell you is because I know you won’t refuse.”
“She’s not guilty of this, but I feel bad for her.” Elliot said.
Avery: “Then I’ll handle the matters related to her. If there are no special circumstances, I won’t tell you about her.”
Elliot: “Well.”
“Elliot, let’s sleep, if Brother Wesley can’t solve it, and we certainly can’t.”Avery put her head in his neck and rubbed lightly.
“You go to sleep first.” Elliot’s big palm landed on her back and patted her back lightly, “I’ll sleep when you fall asleep.”
His palm patted her back, as if Magic, she fell asleep quickly.
……
Yonroeville.
When Ben Schaffer woke up, the sky was already bright. He took a deep breath with a headache.
“F*ck! Why does my head hurt so much?” Ben lifted the quilt, found his phone, and turned it on.
No missed calls, no unread messages. No one in the country was looking for him.
Ben’s heart was a little lost, a little sentimental. He has been in Yonroeville for a whole day and night.
–Doesn’t Elliot care about him at all? Even if he doesn’t care about him, doesn’t he care about Haze?
Ben went to the bathroom to wash his face and came out of the room.
Rebecca was playing with the children in the living room.
Haze was lying in the crib with her eyes open. Rebecca took a small toy and dangled it in front of her.
The scene was very warm.
“Brother Schaffer, are you up yet?” Rebecca saw Ben Schaffer come out and immediately put down the toys, “I asked the nanny to boil the soup, you should drink some soup first!”
“Where’s Lorenzo?” Ben Schaffer walked over to the baby At the bedside, he glanced at Haze.
Haze is still like yesterday, cute, innocent, soft, and small.
If it weren’t for the smell of alcohol on his body, Ben Schaffer really wanted to hold her in his arms.
“I asked the driver to take Lorenzo back last night.” Rebecca replied, “He doesn’t live with me.”
“Oh…actually you can stay with him. I heard that he is very I like you.”
“Brother Schaffer, Elliot asked you to come here, right? Although you don’t admit it, I can see it.” Rebecca pulled out a humble smile, “Yesterday you persuaded me to change the child’s surname and I don’t take the child to Aryadelle, I promise you.Ben, you started to persuade me to marry Lorenzo.”
Ben Schaffer scratched his head embarrassedly: “It’s not that he asked me to come. I came here mainly to see Child.”
Rebecca: “If you want to see the child, I’ll show it to you. You don’t have to persuade me to marry Lorenzo. You make it seem like I can’t get married.”
“Rebecca, that’s not what I meant. If you want to marry another man, you can. I don’t think you need to spend your youth on Elliot. He and Avery have three children, even if he is not for Avery, It’s impossible to choose you just for those three children.” Ben Schaffer reasoned with her.
Rebecca: “Understood.”
“Also… if you bring Haze, will it affect your future mate choice?” Ben Schaffer said about the purpose of his trip, “I can take Haze, and you want to see it later. Haze, you can come and see at any time.”
No matter how good Rebecca was in disguise, her temper couldn’t help but explode at this time.
“I called you Big Brother Schaffer, I respect you so much, yet you want to take away my child.” Rebecca blushed and was furious, “You are going too far! Since you hit my daughter’s mind, I can’t let you continue to live here. Let’s go!”
Ben Schaffer saw the ferocious bodyguard next to him, and immediately went back to his room to pack his luggage.
After coming out of Rebecca’s house, Ben Schaffer glanced at the time.
He originally wanted to call Elliot to tell him about his trip, but because it was late at night in Aryadelle, he could only give up.
But he didn’t vomit unpleasantly, so he sent a message to Elliot: [I tested Rebecca just now, and I asked her if she could take Haze away with me, so that she could start a new life in the future. ]
Foster family, master bedroom.
Ben Schaffer’s news got into Elliot’s phone. The moment the screen of the mobile phone turned on, Avery was awakened by the white light.
She slept lightly, so she woke up now with a particularly clear mind.
She stared blankly at Elliot’s bright mobile phone on the bedside table. After thinking for a few seconds, she got out of bed to drink water, and took a look at his mobile phone.
Ben Schaffer’s message immediately caught her eye.
Ben Schaffer tested Rebecca and asked if he could take Haze…
Why did Ben Schaffer test Rebecca? Why do you want to take Haze away?
The child belonged to Elliot, not Ben Schaffer, so Ben Schaffer did what Elliot meant, right? !
——Elliot wants that child!
Avery put down his mobile phone and went back to the bed to lie down.
Her mind was in chaos. She didn’t expect that Elliot promised her that he would not want the child, but in private, his best friend was trying to find a way to have the child.
It’s just a pity that Rebecca refused to give the child to Ben Schaffer.
She doesn’t know if Elliot wants a child and Rebecca will give it. In her heart, like a needle pierced, there was a dense pain.
She thought that she and Elliot had overcome all difficulties. In the future, if the husband and wife are of one mind, no difficulty will be able to stop them.
Unexpectedly, everything good is just an illusion. The two of them have different dreams in the same bed.
Avery fell asleep.
She opened her eyes and looked out the window. She didn’t know how long it took. The dark night like thick ink seemed to be mixed with water, and it melted and faded little by little until it turned white.
Her eyes were sore, and the pain in her heart did not ease in the slightest. She closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep as quickly as possible.
At 7:00 in the morning, Elliot woke up.
His conditioned reflex glanced at Avery. She slept soundly, and she was probably too tired yesterday.
Elliot picked up the phone and saw the message from Ben Schaffer.
Ben Schaffer: [I tested Rebecca just now, and I asked her if she could take Haze with me, so that she could start a new life in the future, my good fellow, she was blown away!]
Half an hour after this message, Ben Schaffer sent several more messages.
Ben Schaffer: [When I asked her to be with Lorenzo, not only did she not listen, but she felt that I had insulted her. She just kicked me out of her house. I am now ready to go to the airport and go home]
Ben Schaffer: [By the way, I forgot to tell you that after I came here, I originally booked a hotel, but Rebecca kept me at her house so that I could see Haze. You never know how cute Haze is! If I didn’t say that this child was born by Rebecca, I would have thought it was your and Avery’s child. Really f*cking like Layla! I took a lot of photos of Haze, and I will show you when I return home.]
The latter two messages were sent later, so Avery didn’t see them.
After Elliot read the message he sent, he glanced at Avery.
Ben Schaffer said that Haze is like his and Avery’s child, if this child is really his and Avery’s child… that’s great!
Then there will be no contradiction.
It is a pity that God did not wish.
Elliot got out of bed and went to wash. When he went downstairs to finish breakfast and came up again, Avery was still sleeping. And slept very deeply.
He reached out and touched her cheek, which was soft, warm, and nice to the touch.
Her body temperature was normal and her breathing was normal, just didn’t know why she was still sleeping.
–She usually wakes up with him.
–Did she not sleep last night?
After Elliot changed his clothes, he sat down beside the bed, not in a hurry to go out.
About half an hour later, Avery turned over, Elliot glanced at the time, it was almost 9 o’clock.
So Elliot tried calling her out.
Avery heard the sound and opened her eyes immediately.
Elliot said, “Avery, didn’t you sleep last night? Did you wake up at night?”
Avery reached out and rubbed her eyes, recalling what happened last night in her mind.
“No…I probably didn’t take a nap yesterday.” Avery propped herself up and sat up, “What time is it? Are you going to work?”
“I don’t think you’re awake yet, I’m afraid your body uncomfortable.” Elliot said.
Avery smiled and shook her head: “I’m fine…you go to work!”
“Well, if you haven’t slept well, continue to sleep. Company affairs are secondary.” Elliot stamped on her forehead With a kiss, “I’m leaving.”
Avery responded and watched him leave the room. After Elliot left, she immediately lay down on the bed. She didn’t get enough sleep and was a little dizzy. But continued to sleep and couldn’t sleep.
She picked up the phone, but didn’t know what to do.
She want to talk, but doesn’t know who to talk to, and doesn’t think it’s appropriate to talk to anyone.
After all, Elliot hasn’t had a showdown with her yet.
But what is certain is that Elliot has feelings for the daughter of Yonroeville.
…….
Sterling Group.
Not long after Elliot arrived at the company, Ben Schaffer pushed open the door of his office and broke in directly.
“I went home to take a shower after I got off the plane, and I came over after taking a shower.” Ben Schaffer sat down in the chair opposite him and tapped his fingers on the table, “Take me a cup of coffee, and I’ll show you a picture of your daughter.”
Elliot: “You were drunk at Rebecca’s house, and Rebecca took your mobile phone and made a video call with me.”
Ben Schaffer: “!!!”
“In a stranger’s house, you are so unprepared, I don’t know. You should say that you have a big heart, or you should say that you are getting more and more stupid.” Elliot said, picked up his mobile phone, called Chad, and asked him to order coffee.
Ben Schaffer raised his hand and rubbed his temple: “Rebecca took my mobile phone secretly! Where did she get the face to drive me away!”
“You and Lorenzo are drinking, how dare you get drunk? You don’t know who Lorenzo is. What kind of person? ” Elliot said sharply.
“I know he’s not a good person, but I have no grievances with him.” Ben Schaffer expressed his thoughts, “I want to do work for Lorenzo and let him be with Rebecca well. I won’t come to you again.”
Elliot: “Rebecca hasn’t liked Lorenzo for so many years, how could it change because you work for them.”
“Whether it’s useful or not, I said that I feel at ease.” Ben Schaffer said, “Since you have a video call with Rebecca, you must have seen Haze, right?”
Elliot: “Well.”
“Is it very similar to Layla? Isn’t it?” Ben Schaffer turned on the phone and showed him Haze. “I really want to bring this child back, but unfortunately Rebecca won’t let it.”
“What are you going to do with it? Before you make a plan, if you bring her back, you will bring her back with a ticking time bomb.”
“Bring it back first! Yonroeville is too far away. It’s not easy to see her once.” Ben Schaffer saw that he was watching Haze’s video with a serious face, and teased, “I thought I was going to see Haze, you would Angry!”
Elliot turned his ridicule on deaf ears: “How would you feel if Avery saw Haze?”
“I don’t know…but I don’t think she should be so angry. Because this child , is a replica of Layla.” Ben Schaffer guessed, “If Haze looked like Rebecca, I wouldn’t go all the way to see her.”
Elliot quickly calmed down and returned the phone to him, ” I promised Avery’s matter, which cannot be overturned.”
“Whatever you want. I will visit her every year. I will visit her in my own name.” Ben Schaffer said.
…..
The Brook family.
Wesley had an in-depth chat with her mother yesterday about the dangers of Shea’s pregnancy and the consequences of Shea’s accident if she forcibly gave birth to a child. Sandra was frightened.
Wesley said that if Shea died because she gave birth to a child, he would not live alone.
“Shea, it’s my fault. I thought that now with the advancement of medicine, your body will be the same as a normal person, but Wesley told me that your body can’t return to the state of a normal person.” Holding Shea’s hand, Sandra persuaded, “You should listen to Wesley’s words and go and kill the child!”
With Sandra’s words, Shea lowered her head, and the burden in his heart was not so heavy.
Wesley felt relieved when he saw that Shea was not so stubborn.
Sure enough, it was the mother who put pressure on Shea, so that Shea would not hesitate to resist Elliot and have children.
Shea listened to her mother’s words so much out of love for him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have to take her mother’s words as instructions at all.
“Although I really want to hold my grandson, my son is more important.” Sandra looked remorseful, “I knew that Wesley took you more than life, how dare I do more things?”
Shea listened to her mother-in-law’s words, Immediately looked up at Wesley.
“Shea, we’ll go and apologize to your brother later.” Wesley took her hand and continued, “You hurt his heart yesterday. I also want to apologize to him solemnly, I promised him that he would take good care of him but I didn’t do it.”
“No.” Shea shook her head and said stubbornly, “I apologize to my brother, but he don’t.”
Wesley knew that Shea didn’t want him to be wronged.
“Okay.” Wesley agreed.
He can ask Elliot to apologize in private.
At noon, Avery received a call from Wesley.
“Avery, I have persuaded Shea. When Elliot gets off work in the evening, I will bring Shea over and apologize to him.”
Avery: “It’s okay to apologize. How did you persuade Shea?”
“Mom persuaded me.” Wesley said helplessly, “It was indeed my mother who put pressure on Shea.”
“It’s fine.” Avery pondered for a few seconds, “It’s a pity to kill the child.”
Wesley: “She is in a bad mood. She shut herself in the room. I called her for lunch, but she refused to eat it.”
“It is estimated that in addition to the pressure your mother put on her, she also wants to give birth to this child.” Avery said this, with a little heartache, “Brother Wesley, there is actually another way.”
“Do you mean to transfer the embryos?” Why doesn’t Wesley know this method?
Just after the embryos are transferred, where are they placed?
“Well.” Avery didn’t go to the company this morning because of a headache. Although she had a headache, she still took some time to think about Shea’s question, “I checked today, and someone abroad has developed a nutrition bag suitable for embryo growth, also called an artificial uterus. Animal clinical trials have been successful. There are cases. But there are also cases of failure.”
Wesley: “I’ve heard of it. It’s only in the experimental stage, and it hasn’t been brought to the market.”
“Ordinary people can’t afford it at all.” Avery said, “Instead of killing the child, let’s try this method. Elliot will pay for the money.”
Wesley was puzzled by her last sentence: “If I don’t have enough money, I can ask My dad borrows it.”
“No, let Elliot pay.” Avery said firmly, “Brother Wesley, I want him to spend money. Don’t argue with me, okay?”
Wesley heard something wrong with her tone: “Didn’t he have a conflict with him?”
“He didn’t have a conflict with me. He was very good to me, at least on the surface he was very fond of me.” Although Avery didn’t say anything, Wesley understood her overtones.
Wesley: “Avery, if you are unhappy with him, you can separate from him at any time.”
“I will not separate from him.” Avery said decisively, “He hasn’t changed his mind, he just has compassion for that child. It’s constant giving up. He’s also a mortal, and I shouldn’t be too harsh on him.”
Wesley: “You can figure it out. Don’t make yourself too tired because of this.”
“Well, I’ll adjust it.” Avery took a deep breath and spoke again with a more relaxed tone, “Are you at home? I didn’t go to the company today, why don’t I go to you now?”
Wesley: “Okay! You have dinner. Are you ready? If you haven’t eaten, then I’ll do it now.”
“Okay!” After hanging up, Avery went back to the room and changed clothes.
Afternoon.
Avery called Elliot and asked him for 10 million.
Elliot didn’t ask why, just agreed.
“Why don’t you ask me for money?” Avery couldn’t help asking, “Ten million is not a small amount.”
“I don’t have much cash left on this card in my hand. I’ll let Ben Schaffer give it to you later. ” Elliot said calmly, “Is ten million enough?”
“Aren’t you curious what I want the money for?” Avery repeated her question.
“It must be useful for you to ask for money. I don’t have to ask why. If you want to tell me, you will definitely tell me.” Elliot said slowly, “We have been together for so many years, and you have never asked me for money. Now I’m very happy to ask me for money.”
Avery: “…”
“If you insist on asking me why, I’ll ask.” Seeing that she didn’t speak, Elliot added.
Avery interrupted him: “Don’t ask. Just give me 50 million.”
He was startled: “Okay.”
After the call, Elliot called Ben Schaffer and asked Ben Schaffer to give Avery from his account 50 million.
Ben Schaffer: “Why did you give her so much money? She asked for it from you?”
Elliot: “I gave money to my wife, do you need a reason?”
Ben Schaffer almost spit out the tea he just drank, “Then you just hand over all your money to her, and don’t let me take care of it.”
“Okay, then you transfer all my money to her.” Elliot’s tone was understated, as if he was saying something unimportant little things.
Ben Schaffer held back his internal injuries: “You really didn’t ask her what she wanted 50 million for?”
“She really wanted me to ask, but I didn’t.” Elliot felt that this question was not important, “She can’t hold back and naturally follow me.”
“I think you need to be beaten a bit. If I were Avery, I would cheat you for 100 million directly.” Ben Schaffer sneered.
“Maybe I’m a little bit beaten. She originally wanted 10 million, because I didn’t ask her why, so…” Ben couldn’t help laughing and crying: “I’ve convinced you. I’ll call her and ask!”
After Ben transferred the money to Avery, he dialed her number.
Avery answered the phone and said politely, “I received the money.”
“Well. Can I ask what you want the money for?” Ben Schaffer asked, “I asked Elliot, and he said he didn’t know. So I’m curious.”
Listening to Ben Schaffer’s smiling voice, Avery remembered the message he sent to Elliot last night.
She really couldn’t pretend that nothing happened.
Avery: “I’ll explain the reason to him at night.”
“Oh, okay.” Ben Schaffer felt that her attitude towards him was a little indifferent, but it wasn’t easy to say it directly.
