"Just talk to him while he is on break, and set a curfew for him." Mike agreed that Hayden had been working himself to the ground recently, and he knew why. Hayden had witnessed all the things Elliot had been doing to Avery and he held a grudge against Elliot.
Hayden had a strong and proud personality and was definitely planning to counter Elliot's move.
"Yeah," Avery agreed and asked, "What were you going to say?" Mike shook his head. "Nothing much. | just think that it's a good thing that all cards are on the table with Elliot. | don't want to waste my tyelling at him anymore." Avery glanced at the neon lights on the street outside the window. "We don't really stand a chance, do we?" "We don't stand much of a chance if he is determined to destroy us.

"You brought your baby here?" "Yeah! You can't go back, so | am left with no option but to take my baby to you instead!" Tammy chuckled. "I didn't inform you because | wanted to surprise you."

"Is Jun here, too?" "He is! Is he not welcomed? | didn't want him to come, but he's worried about our daughter and insisted on coming with us," Tammy explained awkwardly. "I can tell him to stay in the hotel if you don't want to see him." "No, of course, | welchim." Avery put her phone on speaker and set it down on her bed. "Did you chere just to see me? | feel bad." "Stop trying to be all polite and appropriate with me. If it weren't for my mom and my mother-in-law stoppingfrom traveling because my baby was too little, | would have ceven earlier."
