Hayden did not stop biting until he tasted blood in his mouth.
It was four o’clock in the evening. The school had called Avery telling her that Hayden had bitten
someone and requested her to go to the school.
Avery did not understand. Hayden was the only student in his class. Since he did not have any
classmates, who could he bite? Was it the teacher who got bitten? With the possibility in her mind, Avery
quickly shut down her computer and took her keys with her.
‘How could Hayden bite his teacher? Even if he had an argument with his teacher, he should not resort
to violence.’ Avery kept on thinking.
She remembered Hayden was a well-mannered boy. When did he change?
Avery had been working very late and she had recently somewhat neglected her two children. She
decided to have a good talk with the both of them tonight.
After reaching the school, Avery’s teacher said apologetically, “Miss Tate, your child has been taken
away.”
Avery was shocked.
“But don’t worry, Hayden was taken away by Mr. Foster. You should have heard about him. I can give
you his address and you can go pick Hayden up,” The teacher explained.
Avery was so angry that her cheeks started to turn red, “Why did he take Hayden away with him?
Doesn’t the school have any policies against it? Why didn’t you inform me when he took Hayden away?
I’m very disappointed with the school.”
The teacher explained immediately, “Miss Tate, please listen to me. Mr. Foster has just taken Hayden
away. I wanted to call you but since I knew you were coming, I did not call you. As for why Mr. Foster
insisted on taking Hayden, it was because Hayden had a big argument with Shea. When Mr. Foster
arrived, he asked Hayden for the reason they argued and Hayden refused to tell him. Shea woke up just
now and wanted to go home. That’s why Mr. Foster brought Hayden together with him. He wanted to
understand why they had an argument.”
Even though the teacher had explained in detail, Avery was still very angry. With the car keys in her
hand, she strode off.
The teacher followed closely behind Avery and said, “Miss Tate, please don’t be angry. I can go pick
Hayden up with you. I can go with you since you don’t know Mr. Foster’s address…”
Avery was having a headache, “Stop following me! I will go on my own!”
The teacher replied, “Oh, okay. Let me tell you the address. It is…”
“Stop talking and stop following me!” Avery’s heart was on fire.
She had no idea how Hayden would be treated when he was in Elliot’s house. She was extremely
anxious and needed to rush to Elliot’s house immediately.
Her car sped off after Avery started the car engine.
The teacher mumbled as she saw Avery’s car driving off, “Does she know Mr. Foster’s address? Why
didn’t she let me tell her?”
.
After Elliot brought Shea and Hayden back to his house, Mrs. Cooper quickly served them snacks and
fruits.
Mrs. Cooper looked at Hayden and asked curiously, “Master Elliot, who is this boy?”
Hayden was wearing a baseball cap and carrying a large backpack. His hands were grabbing the
shoulder strap of the backpack tightly. The baseball cap had covered his eyes. However, it did not
prevent Mrs. Cooper from knowing that Hayden was very angry with his pouted cheek and pursed lips.
“Avery’s son,” Elliot answered plainly while sitting on the couch, “adopted.”
That last word had startled Mrs. Cooper and stunned Hayden
‘Adopted? When did I become mummy’s adopted son?’ Hayden thought. Soon, he realized his mum
must have told Elliot that on purpose. He remembered his mum say that Elliot would
strangle both him and Layla if he found out about them.
“Oh… Avery is such a kind-hearted person,” said Mrs. Cooper as she peeled a banana and gave it to
Hayden.
Hayden refused to eat any food from this house. He turned his body around.
Mrs. Cooper put the banana down and went to the bathroom to take a bucket of warm water. Without
asking for permission from Hayden, she took off his baseball cap, “Look at all the sweat on your face, let
me wipe it off.”
The moment Mrs. Cooper took off Hayden’s baseball cap, Elliot finally had the chance to see Hayden’s
face clearly. The thought of Hayden looking similar to Elliot immediately sprung into his mind.
