"Hayden, he's indeed the father of the both of you. However, he doesn't like kids so it's best if the both of you don't go to him. If he finds out that you're both his kids, | don't know what he'd do." Avery said.
Hayden replied, "We don't want a father like him!" "Hayden, | feel that after you've come back home, you've changed and improved a lot," Avery said.
"Mom, I'm not ill, | just find those people childish and boring," Hayden said.
Avery nodded, "I know. You like smart people like Uncle Mile. However, when you're older, you will realize that the people who are not as smart are equally special. We must learn to focus on the merits of others, such as kindness and innocence." Hayden did not agree with that but he did not refute her.

Zoe arrived home at seven in the evening. She opened the gift she received in the afternoon.
She was disappointed in Elliot because it was likely that this gift was not chosen by Elliot.
The shop assistant sent it over, it could have been Elliot's assistant choosing it.
She was right. Elliot made Chad choose it. Chad picked her a Chavel handbag.
Zoe looked at this bag and the image of Avery's face came to her mind.
Elliot lied to her for Avery.
He claimed that Shea was not feeling well and that he had to stay home with her. The truth was that he was staying home for Avery. 1 He canceled their date for Avery. 1 Normally, she would not mind if he had done this to her. However, today was her birthday! She felt very mistreated. 4 On the next day at Tate Industries.
The front desk called and announced that Elliot's girlfriend came.
"Miss Tate, this woman would like to meet you." The secretary said to Avery, "I phoned Sterling Group to verify her identity. They confirmed that he did have a new girlfriend.” Avery looked down and thought for a moment. She put down the work she was working on.
On the first floor, Avery saw Zoe.
Zoe did not have makeup on today. She had a white t-shirt and jeans.

"Miss Tate, | heard that you're a student of Professor Hough. So | came to you to have a chat...| wonder if you have time in the afternoon to have lunch together? " Zoe smiled politely.
It appeared as if Zoe merely wanted to catch up.
Avery knew her intentions. Though she still agreed to have lunch with her. 1 The both of them went to a restaurant close by. 3 After getting a table, Zoe smiled and asked, "Miss Tate, you started your business right after graduation? | heard that Tate Industries is your company. You're so successful, unlike me. | have been working at the hospital and don't earn much.” Avery asked, "Didn't Elliot pay you for treating Shea? No way! He spent a billion lucks searching for her, he should have paid you at least a billion, right?" 1 Zoe's smile stiffened, "He did try to pay me one billion but how would | take that from him?" "Oh, you're afraid that if you take that, you won't be able to ask him to be your boyfriend?" Avery said directly.
Zoe was speechless.
"Please excuse me, Miss Sanford, for being blunt. Hope you don't mind." Avery picked up her green tea and took a sip.
Zoe smiled, "It's fine, | know you have your opinion on me. Without me, you might have a chance to get back with Elliot." Avery said, "Miss Sanford, you've mistaken. The reason | have an opinion on you is because of how insensitive you are." Zoe looked wronged, "Why would you say that? Is it because of how | took Elliot away from you and so you hate me?"
