Elliot called Mike. Mike’s phone was turned off.He was worried about the children’s safety, so he could
only ask Avery.
Avery replied, [Hmm.]
After replying to Elliot, she placed her phone down and took Robert’s clothes off.
She wanted to pretend that she did not care about him, but after taking Robert’s clothes off, she could
not help but pick her phone up again to see if he had sent any new messages.
Naturally, there were none.
Avery disappointedly placed her phone down and carried Robert to the bathroom. An hour or so later,
Mrs. Cooper came to take Robert away.
Avery picked up her phone once again. She went through Elliot’s messages once more, also going
back through their chat history.
The more she saw the more upset she was. She was indeed a little selfish and impulsive.
Shea’s passing was a huge blow to him. Perhaps, she should have been more patient and forgiving to
him and not gotten into a fight with him and then brought Robert to Bridgedale.
She wanted to send him a message, but she did not know what to send. She accidentally opened the
calendar. Two days later, it was the New Year in Aryadelle. She would send a message to him then!
In a blink of an eye, the New Year arrived.
Once Avery got up, she got her children into new clothes before decorating the house together with
Mike.
Layla saw how lovely they were before secretly sneaking into Avery’s room. It was the New Year that
day, Layla thought about how lonely Elliot was, so she thought of sending him a message with Avery’s
phone.
Avery’s phone was placed by the side of her bed. When Layla entered her room, she picked her phone
up and easily unlocked it, and opened the chat. Although she did not know how to spell Elliot’s name,
she could roughly recognize it.
She sent Elliot a voice message.
At that moment, it was eight in the evening at Aryadelle. Ben and Chad were over at Elliot’s to spend
the New Year’s Eve together.
The courtyard was filled with fireworks. Ben was about to light them up.
Elliot had just finished a call when he saw Avery’s voice message. His eyes darkened his chest
constricted tightly. He played the voice message with slightly trembling fingers.
“Daddy! Happy New Year! Mommy is decorating the house, so I’m secretly sending you a message
with her phone!”
Layla’s clear voice could be heard.
Chad heard the message and immediately went over to Elliot. “I heard Layla’s voice.”
Elliot smiled mysteriously and played the voice message once more. Chad heard what Layla said. He
was happy for Elliot.
“Mr. Foster, do you plan to give Layla some money as a New Year’s gift?” Chad reminded Elliot.
Elliot keyed in a series of numbers and transferred some money.
Chad coughed and reminded him once more. “Although the other two children didn’t send you a voice
message, they are your children too. You should treat them equally.”
After Avery finished everything, she returned to her room to grab her phone. She was about to call
Tammy to come to have dinner.
Although they had fought a few days ago, Avery was worried for her.
Avery unlocked her phone. Elliot’s chat appeared in front of her! There were three huge transfers from
him.
Avery was stunned for a while. Her heart was beating fast! On an impulse, she dialed him.
