"I'm making it clear now, to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future." Avery said calmly, "It's very late; why don't you go back
first? I'll accompany her when Layla finishes her filming."
Elliot originally wanted to wait for his daughter to finish filming before taking her home.
His mood was somewhat dented by the fact that her daughter said that the person she hated the most was himself.
He didn't want his daughter to hate him.
"How is Hayden?" He asked before leaving.
"He's fine." Avery replied, "He's in good health, and his academic performance is good. If you want to see him, you can go to
Bridgedale to see him anytime. You should know about his new school, right?"
Avery was feeling generous, which made Elliot especially helpless.
Elliot wanted to find Hayden, and Avery would not stop him, but Hayden would not see him.

The relationship between father and son had eased previously when they were back in Ylore. At other times, Hayden was not on
good terms with his father.
"When you go back to Bridgedale, letknow. I'll go with you." Elliot thought about it for a while and made his own request,"
Without you, he won't see me."
"lI have no plans to go back to Bridgedale for the tbeing." Avery understood his mood. "As long as you letvisit Layla and
Robert, | will help you to visit Hayden.” Elliot pondered for a moment and accepted it.
He didn't hate her as much as he did when they first got divorced.
He didn't hate her so much after knowing the divorce was partially due to her illness.
It's just that they couldn't go back to where they were now.
After talking about the children, the two of them fell into silence.
This made the atmosphere extremely awkward.
"You go first!" Avery felt uncomfortable.
"I want to talk to her after she finishes filming." Elliot said, "She will be filming tomorrow, so she won't be able to go hwith you
tonight."
"I didn’t say | was going to take her back to my home. | just wanted to spend more twith her."
"Is there a party at your house tonight?" Elliot recalled that Ben said he was at Avery's house when Elliot called him.
There must have been other friends besides Elliot >c!;YLW; Lilith.
Before the two divorced, everyone liked to go to her house for parties.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" She asked softly.
"Nothing. Just asking." Elliot realized he was not qualified to ask about her private affairs, so he could only put aside his curiosity.

| took a look at the Tate industries branch you built in Bridgedale."
Elliot was stunned.
"I heard Tate Industries made much money in the past two years." Avery raised the corners of her mouth, looked at him with a
smile in her eyes, and continued, "The person in charge you found really knows her job. The person in charge is called Natalie, isn't
she?"
"Yes." Elliot looked at the smile on her face. He didn't know where she was going with this.
If the two of them hadn't divorced, Elliot wouldn't dare to change the head of Tate Industries that easily.
He thought she would be angry and question him, but the smile on her face clearly meant she didn't seem to care too much about
it.
"If you want to find a stepmother for Layla and Robert, | have no problems with that," Avery changed the conversation, which
caught Elliot by surprise, "As long as your new love can get along with the child, it's fine."
Layla needed a mother who was nice to her.
