"Only he knows," Avery was distracted.She felt that Elliot had already remembered her, but she was not sure as long as Elliot did not tell her personally.To her, Elliot might have saved her last night because of the intimate affair they had on the yacht."What's your next step?" asked Ben, "Do you need my help? He's forgotten you but not me.""Has he ever contacted you?" Avery curiously asked."No," Ben was embarrassed, "I received a call from an unknown number calling from Ylore not long ago and didn't pick it up. However, no one answered when I called back.""I know his phone number in Ylore," Avery anticipated, "Show me.""Okay," Ben then found the unknown number which he did not save in the call log.Avery's heart beat fast when she heard the number from Ben, "Ben, it's him! He's using this number in Ylore!""I knew it! He only forgot you but not me! That's why he remembers my number!" Ben breathed heavily, "But why didn't he pick up my phone? I know he's not into romanc

Hayden saw his face and hurried to another elevator by reflex.Elliot came out of the elevator with his companions and strode toward the hotel entrance.He did not seem to have noticed Hayden, or perhaps he had noticed the child but he had not realized that Hayden was his son.All in all, their encounter went unnoticed.After Elliot left, the elevator door before Hayden opened. After hesitating for a few moments, Hayden decided to check out from the hotel.For him to run into Elliot today, meant that there were chances of him running into that man again. The hotel Hayden was staying at was the best hotel in all of Ylore, and he had booked a room here because it was safer; however, Gary ran that hotel....Elliot went to the hotel today because Gary wanted him to inspect the place.Gary intended on passing all of his businesses to Elliot, as his son, Christopher, was extremely reckless, and he had made plenty of enemies. If it was not for Gary, Christopher would have been killed

She answered the call but did not manage to compose herself in time. "Elliot, I can't find Hayden. I asked the hotel and the receptionist said that he is not checked into this hotel."She felt a lump in her throat as tears threatened to fall. She would not have been this worried if Hayden was alone in a different country."Are you sure you saw him here?" she asked in a muffled voice."Yes," he said with certainty."You've never forgotten about Hayden, have you?" she asked, "Neither have you forgotten about Layla or Robert..."Elliot's breath grew heavier. "I am certain that he is in Ylore. You should be looking for him, instead of asking me meaningless questions like this.""I can't find him!" Tears rolled down her face. "I don't even know where to start looking for him. He won't answer his phone! So unless he contacts me, there's no way I'm going to be able to find him."Hayden was not a three-year-old toddler any longer. Ever since he had spent half a year studying overseas, h

In De Ligt Hotel, Elliot did not head to the reception to ask about Hayden. Avery had done so, and if the receptionist said that there was no information, then it had to be true.It was either that Hayden had come to Ylore with a forged identity, or he had checked out from the hotel as soon as he spotted Elliot.Elliot had to find out if Hayden had indeed been to this hotel, and he went straight to the guard room. There he asked for this morning's surveillance footage. "What does the person look like, Mr. Foster? I can help you look for him.""A child, but he is quite tall. I can look for him myself." Elliot sat down in the chair and moved the mouse to begin adjusting the time of the footage.He only needed to check if Hayden had checked in at the counter and examine the surveillance inside the elevators to see if he had gotten into it to determine if Hayden had truly checked into De Ligt Hotel.Elliot keyed in the time when he ran into Hayden in the search column, but nothing c

"He said he is going to teach Christopher a lesson? You told to him that I had been kidnapped?!" Avery gasped. "How could you tell him this? You know that he is short-tempered—""I didn't do it on purpose," the bodyguard immediately apologized. "He told me to tell you not to worry, and that he will look for you once he's done."Avery felt like someone had grabbed her by the throat. She began to hyperventilate. Her breath came in short ragged pants.The bodyguard heard her panting and asked worriedly, "Miss Tate, are you okay?! Is Elliot next to you right now? Are you still in the De Ligh Hotel?"After he shot all the questions at her, he heard the sound of the call being dropped.Elliot held Avery in his arms and hung up the call. "Avery! Get a grip! Hayden will be fine!"Seeing that she was about to pass out, he lifted her up and strode toward the car. Due to what happened, she had not been able to eat or sleep. She had been drained of strength, and her mind crumbled, causing he
