NovelApp"Oh, is your charger broken? | have a charger with me. I'll get it for you..." "No need." Elliot's charger was not broken. He just did not want to charge his phone. His phone ran out of battery from listening to the recording of Avery. He listened to the recording the entire afternoon.
At that moment, as long as he heard anything that had to do with Avery, Adrian, and Henry, his heart hurt. He also felt nauseated.
Chad could not help but ask, "Mr. Foster, what is happening between you and Avery this time?" "Don’t ask things you're not supposed to ask. Don't tell things that you're not supposed to tell." Elliot looked at Chad coldly.

"If you don't return her calls, | think she’ll cto the office to look for you later, " Chad reminded Elliot, "You have never left her hanging before. She would surely think likewise." "It's because | have never left her hanging, so she always did not care about my feelings." Elliot's gaze was cold. His tone was even colder. "Previously, when | fought with Henry, | was not even afraid. But right now, I'm tired." He was not tired. He was sick of it.
He thought about how he had been taken advantage of since birth. At that moment, he was successful and famous. He thought he had control over everything. He thought that he had found true love and a home, yet he still could not escape being taken advantage of! Avery had said more than once that she would not lie to him anymore. He had once believed her.
At that moment, the facade had been torn apart, rearing its ugly side! He was sick of it! Chad had never seen Elliot so depressed.
When he was angry, whether it was a fullblown temper or ice-cold revenge, Chad had seen it all. He had only never seen Elliot calling it quits.
Chad wanted to know what had happened between him and Avery, but he knew that asking Elliot once more would not get him an answer.
Also, Elliot had already told him not to ask things that he should not ask or tell things that he was not supposed to tell.
Chad not only could not ask him what had happened, but he could not tell what was happening to others too.
At Elliot's mansion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAvery :g(=SIP; Layla were sitting by the dining table having their dinner.
"Mommy, our house is so empty!" Layla lamented, "Uncle Mike is no longer staying with us. Hayden is not here either. Daddy has gone back to work. Maybe he was going to work late daily. My classmate toldthat she could only see her father three times a month because her father has to go on trips frequently.” Avery said, "Your daddy won't be like that. Even if he has to work late, he will return home." "But if he comes back late, | won't be able to see him! | have to go to school early. He won't be able to seeeither." Layla puffed her cheeks. "My classmate says that her father has an affair with another woman, which is why he rarely returns home." Avery was stunned by what Layla said.
"Layla, your father is not that type of person.” "I do hope that he isn't that type of person. If not, I'll be sad. You'll be sad too. Hayden would hate him even more." Layla sniffled her nose. "Why don't you call Daddy after dinner. Get him to cback earlier." Avery said, "I have already called Uncle Chad. He said that Daddy would surely return our call once he is less busy. If he doesn't return my call, that means he is already on the way home." "Oh." Layla was relieved. "Mommy, when are you going to see Hayden? It's almost my summer break!" Avery thought for a while. "When you're on your break, we can see him whenever we want." Layla was excited. She placed her utensils down and ran out of the dining hall.
Avery saw how happy Layla was. She picked her phone up to check if Elliot had replied to her messages.
Sure enough, he still had not replied to her.
It had been half an hour since the call she made to Chad.
Logically speaking, Chad should have already passed on the message to Elliot. Why had Elliot not replied to her yet? Whether it was a message or a call, as long as she did not receive an answer from him, she started to worry.
She dialed his number once more. What replied to her was still the automated system.
