Elliot carried Robert from the bed and touched the boy's forehead with his fingers. "How did you get all these mosquito bites in the two days that | was away?" After a pause, he looked at Mrs. Cooper, "Didn't you get rid of the mosquitoes? Prepare a mosquitofor him." "I did. | already bought a mosquitoyesterday and | was planning to set it up later today," Mrs. Cooper replied.
Robert grabbed Elliot's shirt buttons and had a great tplaying with them.
"Master Elliot, Layla got suspicious when you did not chthe night before last. She might be young, but she understands a lot of things at her age," Mrs.
Cooper advised. "You must take into account the children’s feelings, or else it'd be very difficult to win back the heart of a child.” Elsewhere, Cole finally met Harvey, with the former looking around cautiously when they met.

"Mr. Goodman, is Elliot fuming right now? Be honest with me. For my grandma's sake. I'm not in any danger now, am 1?" Cole asked in a low voice.
Harvey pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said awkwardly, "I don't know how to answer your question, Mr. Cole. | was merely entrusted by Mr. Elliot to discuss the share transfer. | do not know about anything else.” Cole heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'm just worried this might be a trap! After all, it's a little hard to believe that everything went so smoothly.” The waiter cover and served them a cup of coffee, respectively.
Harvey picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
Cole was not in the mood to drink coffee. " Mr. Goodman, about that share transfer, is there anything | need to prepare? Could you helpmake a list? After all, they're not for me. It would've been much less troublesif it was, though. Also, Adrian doesn't even have a bank account.” Harvey was stunned to hear that. "Adrian?" "Yeah! Adrian's my uncle. You read the news, right? Avery hates=g$:RJS; my dad, which is exactly why she asked for the shares to be transferred to Adrian,” Cole said, then frowned slightly. "Of course, it's the sif the shares are transferred to my uncle. After all, we're family." Harvey was dumbfounded.
Elliot did not give him any such instruction. He was supposed to transfer the shares to Cole but not to Adrian.
When Cole said that the shares were going to be transferred to Adrian, Harvey was a little confused and got up immediately.
"Excusefor a moment. | need to use the restroom.” Cole uttered an oh’ and watched as Harvey walked toward the restroom.
Once he was inside, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Elliot.
"Mr. Foster, Cole said that he spoke to Avery about transferring your shares to Adrian, not to him. What's going on? Would you like to confirm with Avery?" Elliot's expression froze suddenly on the other side of the phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAvery asked to transfer his shares to Adrian? His shares belonged to him, yet she acted as if she could transfer them to whoever she wanted.
He wondered if she liked Adrian that much, or whether it was simply an opportunity for her to return what was owed to Adrian because she felt that he had taken over Adrian's life.
His heart was in so much pain that he found it difficult to breathe.
His eyes turned moist when he looked at Robert playing with the toys on the bed.
Less than five minutes had passed after he persuaded himself that he and Avery were more or less even because Avery— despite hurting him and making him feel bad-had given him three children and suffered a lot herself too.
However, the budding idea he had disappeared in an instant.
He could not forgive Avery! Even though their children were obedient kids, it in no way meant that he could live a good life with her.
Once Avery exploited his interests and hurt his feelings for the sake of another man, a similar situation was bound to happen again, in the future.
