“Isn’t that Elliot’s car?” Tammy said when she saw the luxury car outside the front gates.” Looks like
your intel was wrong, Mike!”
Mike sighed and said, “This man sure is elusive! He’s so unpredictable!”
“Don’t see him, Avery. You should leave him hanging. Let him be restless and stay up all night. Let him
have a taste of pain!” Tammy said excitedly.
Mike completely agreed with her, so he walked to the front door and was about to shut46 it.
Avery grabbed his arm and said, “Let him in.”
The baby was going to be born soon.
There were still things that she needed to discuss with Elliot.She wanted to take this opportunity to
settle things once and for all.
“Have you forgotten how you were wronged, Avery?” Mike was furious.
“If you forgive him this easily, then he won’t learn his lesson. He’ll just be even more ruthless in the
future!”
“I know what I’m doing, Mike.” Avery gazed at Mike with clear eyes.
“Don’t worry. I won’t lose.”
Jun quickly tried to smooth things over and said, “Since Avery’s decided, let’s not worry about it! When
it comes to relationships, it’s better for outsiders not to step in.”
Tammy glared at him and snapped, “Whose side are you on? Look at Mike. He might be dating Chad,
but he’s always on Avery’s side.”
“You’ve got it wrong!” Jun said.
“I’m just respecting Avery’s decision. I’ll agree if she wants to see Elliot, and I’ll agree if she doesn’t,
too!”
“Then, you’re just spineless and don’t have an opinion of your own,” said Tammy.
Jun smiled warmly and said, “You’re the only one who needs to be opinionated in our home… Ah, Eric
made some tea. Let’s go have some!”
They sat on the couch and began to have tea.
When Hayden saw Elliot enter the front yard, he immediately dragged Layla upstairs to their room.
Moments later, Elliot arrived at the villa’s front door. His deep set eyes glanced over at the living room.
Avery handed him a pair of clean house slippers.
“Thank you,” he said, then took the slippers and changed into them,
The group sipping tea in the living room had their eyes fixed on the two of them.
Avery led Elliot past the living room and up the stairs.
“Holy crap! Avery’s taking him to her room! What’s she trying to do?” Mike did not understand and was
greatly shocked.
Mike had thought that, with Avery’s temper, she would definitely humiliate Elliot both mentally and
physically.
Did he guess wrongly?
“If I remember correctly, I don’t think Elliot did anything wrong, right? It’s not like he chastised Avery
over the video,” Jun said thinking he was being fair and just.
“He didn’t do that, but he didn’t help her either,” Tammy mocked. “Why would any woman want to have
a child with a man like that?”
Jun instantly shut his mouth.
Upstairs, Elliot followed Avery into the bedroom.He did not expect her to be this calm.
It felt like the calm before the storm.
The moment the door to the room was closed, He could no longer hold back. He grabbed onto her arm
and croaked, “Do you have something to say to me, Avery?”
Avery indeed had something to say, but she did not plan to be the one to speak first.
“You came to me. Shouldn’t you talk first?” She raised her brows and looked at him.
Elliot’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat as his breathing turned hot.
“I’m sorry about the video.”
“What’s the use of being sorry?” She rejected his apology.
“We’re not children. If you truly want to apologize to me, then give me something practical.”
Her words piqued Elliot’s curiosity.
“What do you want?”
“I want custody of the baby I’m carrying.”
The moment she said those words, Elliot suddenly released his grip on her arm.
