NovelAppWhen Avery saw the call from Elliot, she hung up without hesitation.
With his pride, he definitely would not call back after she hung up on him.
Elliot was taken aback when his call was declined within seconds.

Elliot found Mrs. Cooper's number and dialed it.
He had already come up with an excuse before he called Avery. It was that he had heard about Robert's fever and wanted to call to check on things.
If Mrs. Cooper answered the phone, he could use the same excuse.
In the end, Mrs. Cooper also declined his call.
Elliot's face was frozen still as he stared at the rejected call.
It had barely been more than two weeks since Mrs. Cooper resigned from her job with the Foster family. How could she be this heartless?! They had an employer-employee relationship for decades, after all. Was that nothing compared to her new friendship with Avery? It was heartbreaking! Over at Bridgedale, Mrs. Cooper saw Avery let out a sigh of relief after she heartlessly declined Elliot's call.
Mrs. Cooper was not a fool.
She had clearly seen how Avery declined the call earlier.
Besides, Avery had already told her before to sever all ties with Elliot.
How could she possibly answer Elliot's call in front of Avery's face? Even if she had to stay in touch with Elliot, she would only do it in secret! "| didn't answer his call, Avery." Mrs. Cooper slipped her phone back in her pocket. "Even so, could he be calling about something urgent?" Avery shook her head and said, "He most likely wants to ask about Robert's cold."

"We might have broken up, but it's not like there's any deep hatred between us. | can't stop him from using your luggage as an excuse to sneak a peek at the kids, nor will I pick a fight with him about it." "Okay. | knew you weren't such a heartless person, Avery. What parents won't miss their own children?" Mrs. Cooper said, then glanced at the time and added, "You should be hungry by now. I'll go put something together." Once Mrs. Cooper walked into the kitchen and put the stew on the stove, she quickly sent Elliot a text message.
[Robert is fine for now. Avery said she doesn't hate you that much. Give her some time.] Once the message was sent, Mrs. Cooper put her phone away and began to cook.
After Elliot saw Mrs. Cooper's text, his emotions gradually calmed down.
