Chapter 453
Avery called out to him, “Elliot, can you stay away from me from now on, if I give you a child like we agreed on?”
She didn’t want to be involved with him any longer.
Elliot stopped and responded coldly, “give me back a child, and then you can negotiate with
me.”
With that, he opened the door and stepped out of the25 room.
Ben was waiting outside the door and asked, “Elliot, are you okay?”
Avery heard him; she felt irritated and she could not seem to suppress or avoid the emotions shegc felt.
She collapsed onto the bed once the footsteps outside the door disappeared into the distance. After a few minutes, she picked up her phone to make a video call to Mike.
Mike picked up immediately. “Avery, have you23 eaten?”
Mike was playing with Hayden and Layla.
Avery spotted a faint figure moving in the kitchen from her screen, but Mike adjusted the camera right away to focus on theża children.
“I have…” Avery relaxed at the sight of her children. “Hayden, Layla, what are you two playing?”
“We are playing puzzles! I’m watching Hayden…because he won’t let me do it. He says I’m messing it up.” Layla pouted. “Mom, Uncle Chad cooked for us 35 today.”
Stunned, Mike said, “Layla, didn’t I tell you not to tell your mom? You promised!”
“But I’ve already told Mom!” Layla said with an innocent expression, “it’s not like Mom would get angry.”
“Mike, have you forgotten about the surveillance camera outside our door? I saw Chad’s car parked outside our yard this evening,” Avery said.
Layla burst out laughing. “Stupid uncle!”
“Aren’t you supposed to be on vacation? Why are you going through surveillance footage?” Mike asked in confusion, “are you laying in bed now? What’s going on with you? If you are there to sleep, why bother going all the way there for that?”
