NovelApp"Are they quarreling?" Mike kept paying attention to Avery's figure outside the door.
He saw Avery clench her fists.
"Probably! Elliot doesn't like other people doing stuff without his knowledge." Ben said, "I brought Robert out today and didn't tell
him."
"He can't take his anger out on Avery!" Mike said, put down his glass, and wanted to go out and speak in Avery's defense.
Chad immediately dragged him back.
"What do you think you are doing? They're in the middle of a quarrel! | don't think Avery will lose. My boss is not good at
quarreling." Chad didn't want to let Mike get in trouble because of his own foolishness. "The two of them haven't discussed their
visitation rights before, so now is a good chance for them to figure it out."
Hearing that, Mike sat back and said," Aren't you afraid Avery might lose to Elliot?
"You're not of much help anyway!" Chad teased, "You're more of a hindrance than a help."
Mike glared at him. "I don't like to hear you say that."

"Whether you like it or not, it's the truth. As long as Avery doesn't ask you to help, you can leave them alone." Chad glared back at
him, "Full of righteousness, aren't you?"
"Why are the two of you quarreling?" Lilith asked and stopped them, "Stop quarreling; | have something to say."
Mike and Chad immediately shut up.
Ben felt that Lilith was going to target him first.
"Ben, you lied just now and didn't even blink your eyes. Now | suspect you didn't have a word of truth in your mouth." Lilith was
really targeting Ben.
Ben was ashamed. "I can't tell the truth to Elliot, can 1? Do you wantto tell him that Robert was brought to Avery's house on
purpose? What would he think? Would he still treatas a friend if | told him the truth? If he doesn't treatas a friend, | won't
have a chance to bring Robert out to play in the future. Lilith, the world is not set in black and white; we look at problems and need
to analyze many things."
Lilith didn't expect him to speak out to her.
"I just can't stand your cowardice." "Cowardice? I'm telling a white lie for the greater good." Ben said, "Lilith, | know you must be
doubting what | said to you...| can swear that what | say to you is the truth!”
Ben raised his h=e%=QKX> and swore to the heavens in front of everyone.
Chad was stunned.
Mike thought: This old man is playing tricks again!
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the sky! Immediately afterward, with a loud 'boom’, thunder began.
Lilith heard the thunder and saw the lightning, and her face distorted in fright.
"Did you have to swear in the middle of our meal? Look what you've done. You've summoned Thor!" Mike was laughing. "Il would
advise you against leaving tonight.
I'm afraid you might get struck by lightning!"
Ben angrily withdrew his hand and explained with a red face. "Today's weather forecast said there was going to be a thunderstorm!
| didn’t bring the thunder!"
"Never try to prove what nobody doubts." Mike picked up the glass and poured him a drink, "I'd advise you to drink smore
beer. | think Lilith will believe everything you say after you take a few shots. Hahaha!"
Ben picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Avery walked in and returned the phone to Ben.
"It's raining outside." She said calmly and sat down in her seat.
"How was your chat with Elliot?" Lilith asked, "Did you quarrel? How was it? Did
you win?"
Avery's face was calm. "It's not a quarrel. | said | wanted to see Robert in the future, but he couldn't stop me. He just wantsto
tell him in advance."
"Did it go so well?" Mike couldn't believe his ears.
Avery nodded, picked up the water glass in front of her, and took a sip.
It didn't go well.
Elliot felt she wasn't taking him seriously by seeing Robert without permission.
He argued that if he were the one who went to Bridgedale to visit Hayden without her knowledge, she would be furious as well.
Since she had decided to take the blfor Ben, she could only admit her mistake to him.
She apologized to him.
