They needed evidence to bring down Chelsea.
“Sweetie, when Elliot Foster came over today, he said you hid in your room when you saw him, “Avery
said worriedly. “This is your home. You don’t need to hide from him.”
“I wasn’t hiding,” Hayden said as his brows furrowed.
“I just don’t want to see him.”
“He’s planning on moving in to help with your little brother once he’s born.” Avery was in a dilemma and
let out a sigh.
“Would that make things hard on you?”
Hayden’s brows furrowed even more tightly as he said, “I’ll just ignore him, then!”
“Thanks, sweetie.” Avery patted her son’s shoulder with a pained expression on her face.
“I don’t want him to move in either, but he thinks your little brother will need his care. The baby doesn’t
belong to just me, so I couldn’t refuse him.”
Hayden took a deep breath, then promised, “Don’t worry, Mommy. I won’t acknowledge him! Layla also
won’t! I won’t let our little brother acknowledge him either!”
Avery wascd stunned.
What was the initial reason for having a heart-to-heart with Hayden again?
It was to mitigate the relationship between father and son, and not to deepen the conflict between
them!It seemed like Hayden misunderstood her meaning.It was fine. They can settle in once Elliot
moves in!
Two weeks later, Nora’s bandages were removed from her face. She was being discharged from the
hospital today.
Chelsea helped her over to the bathroom.
Nora felt like her legs turned heavy. She did not dare look in the mirror,
However, Chelsea forced her to face her ruined face.
The moment Nora stood in front of the mirror and saw the hideous scars and twisted nose bridge on
her face, she could not hold back her shrill cry of shock.
“Monster! Monster!”
She buried her face in her hands, but Chelsea did not let her cover her face.
“Avery Tate was the one who made your face this terrifying.” Chelsea gritted her teeth and shoved
Nora’s face closer to the mirror.
“Look at how hideous you look right now. Nobody will ever love you again! There’s no longer any
meaning to your life other than getting revenge on Avery Tate!”
Through reddened eyes, Nora mumbled softly, “Revenge…”
“That’s right. Revenge.” Chelsea said in her ear, “I’ll give you one last chance. If you succeed, I’ll pay
for you to get a new face. If you fail…”
“I’ll definitely succeed! I won’t keep this ugly face for the rest of my life!” Nora clenched her fists and
cried, “I want a new face!”
Over at the Starry River Villa, Avery was looking through the calendar and discovered that she was
exactly thirty weeks pregnant.
The baby would come to full term in another month.
Full term meant that the baby had reached a point in its development where it could be born at any
time.
Mike had asked Avery the night before if she wanted to throw a baby shower.
She was feeling a little excited, so she sent a text message to Elliot to ask for his opinion.
In the end, she mistakenly sent the text to Tammy.
Tammy immediately called her after receiving the text.
“Avery! Great minds really do think alike! I was just about to text you! I just got a positive pregnancy
test! I might be pregnant!”
“Congratulations, Tammy!” Avery exclaimed happily.
“I’m so nervous right now! I haven’t thought about how to tell Jun about this!” Tammy cried out in
excitement.
“You’re thinking about throwing a party, right? Maybe I’ll wait until the party to tell him! I’m coming over
to see you right now!”
Avery waited the entire afternoon for Tammy to arrive, but she never did.
When she dialed Tammy’s number, she received nothing but the cold sound of a prompt telling her that
the phone was turned off.
