"I’m looking at photos of me and your father.Would you like to see them?" Avery asked.
Hayden immediately turned to look out the window and said, "I don‘t."
"I won’t look at them either then."
Avery put her phone down, then turned to her son and said, "Thank you for today, Hayden.I suggested
taking family portraits because we haven’t taken one since your grandmother passed away.There’s
also another reason."
Hayden withdrew his gaze from the window.He was willing to listen to his mother.
No matter what Avery said, he could take her seriously.
"Last night, your father told me that he’s been depending on medication to fall asleep ever since Shea
passed away.He didn‘t bring his pills, so I went out to get some for him last night.He isn‘t perfect, but
neither am I.I‘ve thought about it seriously, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him."
Avery was informing Hayden that she would be living with Elliot in the future.
This was something that Hayden had already expected.
Since Elliot arrived, Avery spent all of her time with him, day and night.
Whenever the two of them went on a date, Hayden had to stay home and watch Layla.
He did not like sharing his mother with Elliot, but he could tell how much happier Avery became since
Elliot showed up.
"As long as you‘re happy, Mommy."
Hayden‘s brows furrowed as he said words way beyond his years, "When Robert, Layla, and I grow up,
we might not be able to spend as much time with you."
"I’m not thinking that far ahead, because the future is ever–changing."
Avery held Hayden‘s hand, then said, "Let‘s appreciate what‘s in front of us right now."
After the photographer posted the photos of Avery and Elliot on social media, the photos were
immediately spread far and wide.
This was because of their good looks, and also because of their status.
One was the richest man in Aryadelle, while the other was a prominent entrepreneur in Bridgedale and
a fameded neurologist.
Their photos very quickly made it to Aryadelle.
The entire country celebrated the news of their relationship.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Avery and Elliot were a match made in heaven.
If one were to search their names online in Aryadelle, the first result was a news article about them
donating drones to the Border Security Force.
This further deepened the public’s admiration for them.
That night, Avery woke up from a18 nightmare. She dreamed that Elbot left without saying goodbye
and returned to Aryadelle.
She reached out her hand, and the uneasiness she felt instantly calmed down the moment she felt his
warmth.She checked the time on her phone and ended up noticing that someone had sent her a friend
request on social media.
Avery did not normally accept friend requests from strangers, but the verification message that came
with the request caught her eye.
[Avery Tate! This is Chelsea Tierney‘s cousin! You‘re so shameless!]
Seeing those words in the middle of the night instantly woke Avery up.She accepted the friend request
and wanted to ask this person what made her so shameless.
However, before she could confront the person, they sent over a photo of Avery and Elliot with the
message: [You’re so shameless , Avery Tate! Elliot Foster is my cousin-in-law.Who are you trying to
disgust with such a revolting photo?]
Avery was stunned.
[Cousin–in–law? Who‘s your cousin?]
[Are you blind? I made it clear in my verification message! I’m Chelsea Tierney’s cousin!]
[When did Elliot and your cousin get together? They weren’t together before, and they never will be!]
To get the person to stop harassing her, Avery turned on her phone camera and took a photo of Elliot
sleeping next to her.
Then, she sent the photo over with the message:
[He‘s lying down next to me right now.Should I wake him so you can talk to him?]
