When Elliot arrived at the school, he immediately held Shea in his arms and patted her back
lightly upon seeing Shea’s swollen eyes. .
“Stop crying, Shea,” Elliot comforted.
Shea was having a headache because she had been crying too hard. After hearing Elliot’s voice, she felt
safer and leaned on Elliot’s chest while her emotions began to stabilize. After a while, she fell asleep
Elliot carried her to bed and placed her on the bed. After that, he walked out of the room. He needed to
go look for Hayden to find out what happened. Later, he arrived at Hayden’s
classroom.
The teachers saw Elliot coming and left the classroom. As such, only Elliot and Hayden were in the
classroom.
Elliot walked over and stood in front of Hayden. Hayden saw him coming and started to pack his books
into his backpack.
“Hayden Tate, I already know who your mother is,” Elliot pulled a chair over and sat in front of Hayden to
block him from leaving.
Seeing how domineering Elliot was, Hayden knew that he did not have the chance to leave the
classroom. Hence, he sat quietly and pretended Elliot was not there.
“Since when did you know Shea?” Elliot asked while looking at Hayden’s half-covered face.
He had no idea why Hayden kept wearing his cap. It made sense to wear it outside, but why wear it
inside the classroom too? Was it because Hayden did not have any hair or was he just trying to be cool?
“As long as you answer my questions, I won’t give you any trouble,” Elliot said while feeling his patience
disappear little by little, “If you are not going to talk, then we can sit here until you do.”
It was a threat. However, Hayden was not afraid. He rested his head on the table and closed his eyes to
sleep.
There was nothing Elliot could do, other than stare at how cool and snobbish Hayden acted. He could
not possibly bully a four years old boy, especially when this boy was actually Avery’s son.
The classroom was so quiet that the both of them could hear their heartbeats. Ten minutes passed.
Twenty minutes had passed and both of them were still at a standstill.
Elliot was convinced that if he still did nothing, the boy would just fall asleep. He walked over to Hayden’s
side and used his strong arms to carry Hayden.
Hayden was shocked and thought, ‘What is this jerk trying to do?’
“Don’t touch me!” Hayden shouted angrily.
As Elliot heard Hayden speak, he felt he had the upper hand and that he had regained control.
Looking at Hayden now, he had spoken even when he had a bad temper alongside his habit of not
talking to strangers. It just meant that his illness was not that serious. If he was in the worst stage, he
would not talk even under such circumstances.
“Tell me! When did you know Shea? Why did the both of you argue?” Elliot held Hayden’s body tight as
Hayden struggled to break free.
Elliot could tell that Hayden disliked people touching him. If that was the case, Elliot was determined to
hold him until Hayden answered.
Hayden was outraged. How could this jerk hold him? Hayden decided not to answer the question.
‘Why didn’t Elliot just ask Shea if he wanted to know? Why should Elliot think it was other people’s fault
just because Shea cried? No wonder, mummy decided to divorce him,’ Hayden thought in his mind.
Hayden’s eyes were reddened because he was really angry at Elliot. In the end, he took a bite out of
Elliot’s neck.
