The loud sound startled Avery and Mike and they looked at the door with surprise. From
there, they saw Elliot’s face looking horrible and sunken as if someone had offended him.
“Hi, Avery’s ex-husband!” Mike jumped off the table and marched towards Elliot as he greeted Elliot
cheerfully.
Avery felt pain in her temples. Mike had no idea what a scary person Elliot was. It was up to Avery to
stop Mike from inviting his own death. Avery quickly strode toward Mike and pulled him backward.
This action caused Elliot’s anger to slowly rise. What was the relationship between the both of them,
Elliot wondered? Why was Avery being so protective of this inappropriate-looking man?
“Why are you here?” Avery stood in front of Elliot as she looked up at him, “Is there still reason for us to
meet anymore?”
Elliot clenched his fingers so tightly that the paper in his hand almost ripped apart. He walked a step
forward so that his body got closer to Avery.
Avery could feel the anger in Elliot rising and he could lash out at any time. She quickly pushed Mike out
of the door and said, “Wait for me outside.”
After she pushed Mike out of the office, she closed the door.
“Who is that man?” Elliot questioned Avery with her cheek slowly turning red.
There was no one else in the room spectating, so Avery was no longer afraid of Elliot.
“Elliot, don’t force me to be rude. I don’t want to fight with you,” Avery said as she took the piece of paper
away from Elliot’s hand, “This is…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Hayden’s name on the piece of paper. Her body started to
shiver and her face was full of terror and nervousness.
Elliot looked at the change of expression on Avery’s face coldly. His intuition became stronger.
“Avery Tate! Is this child mine?” said Elliot with a cold and sharp voice, without any trace of warmth.
Without any hesitation, Avery responded very quickly, “No. Our child was aborted a long time ago. This
child… I adopted him while I was abroad.”
The only way to get through this was to lie. Avery must lie. If she did not, then Elliot would use all means
to take the child away. He hated children and he vouched to never have children in this life.
In addition, Hayden was different from normal children. Who knew what would happen to Hayden if Elliot
had custody over him.
“Adopted?” Elliot frowned as he did not expect that answer, “Why did you want to adopt a child?”
“Because he was different from a normal child. I think he’s pitiful and that’s why I adopted him. This will
be the only and last time that I’ll explain it to you, Elliot. Stop messing around in my private life. If you
have so much free time on your hands, why don’t you go take care of your girlfriend?”
Avery threw the piece of paper into the shredder.
Looking at how emotional Avery was, Elliot suddenly felt as if he was being doused with a bucket of cold
water. The anger he felt was instantly extinguished.
News traveled so fast that even Avery now knew he had a new girlfriend. He wanted to explain to Avery,
but he realized everything he said would be funny.
“Avery, the new boyfriend of yours doesn’t seem good. You should have better taste in men.”
It was supposed to be just an advice and yet, it turned out to be mockery.
Avery was agitated by him and wanted to show him what it felt like, “Your new girlfriend is nothing good
as well. You should have picked Chelsea instead. I wonder what were you thinking.”
Elliot gritted his teeth, “Have you ever seen Zoe before? To me, she is far better than Chelsea!”
Avery raised her eyebrows, “What do you know about my Mike? He may look messy and playful but he
has a pure heart. Unlike someone who is not only in two but even three relationships at the same time!”
Elliot’s face turned pale after being agitated. Soon, he stormed out of Avery’s office.
