Avery sounded calm as if they were discussing an inconsequential matter.
"Have you thought this through?" "Does this need thinking about?" Avery asked in return.
Elliot shook his head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Don't shake your head. Have you forgotten that you have head injuries?" Avery sighed.
She understood how Elliot felt. After going through so many incidents together, it was easy to understand the other person's heart. "What about next Monday? Hayden said that he is leaving on the weekend. We'll head to the Civil Registry Office on Monday. We'll get Hayden to calong." Avery was reluctant to be apart from her son.
"If you want Hayden to stay with you for a few more days, we can go to the registrar next Monday, instead of this Friday." Elliot understood what she was trying to do, so he made that suggestion.
"I can't force Hayden to stay withjust because he listens to me. This will affect his studies. Do you know how tired Hayden usually is? The things he learns in a year is something students his age will take a couple of years or maybe longer to learn. I can't affect his plans," Avery said.
"What plans does he have?" Elliot did not know much about Hayden's life.
"He surely has his own education planned out. Although I have never spoken to him about it, I believe that he is a person with plans," Avery said determinedly. "Hayden is very much like you, so whatever he wants to do, I'll allow it." "Hmm." Two days later, Sebastian returned to Bridgedale. After a night of rest, he adjusted to the tdifference.
At eight in the morning, he arrived at Dean's mansion.
"Dad, do you know Holly Blanche? She was the criminal that Natalie hired back in Ylore. Natalie got her trick Elliot and Avery into the underground cellar, where she trapped them," said Sebastian, explaining it to his father.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto elcriminal who did all this was Holly Blanche. She and Natalie were recently in contact." Dean's expression instantly changed.
"Why is Natalie contacting this criminal?" Dean asked while tapping the messages on the screen.
"Natalie has nowhere else to go. She has forever lost Elliot's trust. Now that she has betrayed you, she is desperate," Sebastian said sardonically. "She is trying to get to Ivy so that she can get back into Elliot's good graces." "Sebastian, how did you manage to find her phone? Why was her phone at home?" Dean asked.
"I don't know, vtoo. She had been hiding on a hill. There was no one living on that hill. It took us plenty of effort to get up there." Sebastian knew that his father would be. suspicious, so he had taken a video of the hike up the hill. After Dean saw the video, he was no longer suspicious.
"I'm guessing that there are wild beasts on the hill. Perhaps Natalie had been attacked," Sebastian said. "I think the possibility of her being captured is lower. It is not easy to hike up that hill." "Then, we don't need to care about her anymore." Now that Dean had Natalie's phone and there were important messages on her phone, Dean no longer cared whether Natalie was dead or alive.
"Who would have thought that Holly Blanche had been hiding in Bridgedale."
