Avery shook her head. "He said that he went to see a friend. He will return home once he is done.""Why didn't he take you along?" Adrian asked in confusion."Maybe his friend only wants to see him, but not me," Avery replied casually. "Are you hungry? I'm a little hungry. If you're hungry, then I'll go make something to eat.""What are you planning to cook?" Adrian was a little hungry, so he got up.They headed to the kitchen.They made too much ravioli that morning so there was excess."Let's cook ravioli!" Avery took them out from the fridge."Okay! I like ravioli.""Is there anything that you don't like to eat?" Avery asked with a smile.Avery would naturally relax when chatting with Adrian."I don't like bitter squash." Adrian grimaced. "Bitter squash is really bitter, but Mrs. Scarlet likes them.""I don't like them either, but bitter squash is good stuff," Avery said. "But if you really don't like them, you don't have to eat them.""Hmm. Can I try cooking? I want to

The other person immediately replied, [780,000 dollars. I'm sure this is not a huge amount for you, right? As long as you wire the money tonight, I'll make sure to destroy all of the photos.]Avery saw the amount and found it amusing. Was Elliot and Ruby's photo worth that much money? She wanted to grit her teeth and yell at the other person, "Just publish them! Do it now! Even if you take photos of them sleeping together, I won't be afraid, let alone them meeting each other!"If Elliot was not afraid of it, what was she afraid about? She only found it despicable. She was afraid her children would feel so too.As a person ages, they become more stable and mature. They could bear the pain that they might not be able to bear in the past, or perhaps, they might even grow numb to the pain.Avery copied the bank account number the other party sent over, then she tapped into her banking app and wired 780,000 dollars over.When the other party received the money, they sent a message, [

Avery left at six in the morning?It was winter. At six, dawn had not arrived.Elliot picked up his phone and walked to the door. He looked outside and called Avery.Soon, she picked up."Where are you? Why did you leave so early in the morning?" His constricted heart relaxed a little."I'm visiting my mother's grave." Avery's tone was calm. "Why don't you look after the children at home today!""Why don't you want me to go with you?" Elliot preferred to follow her to the grave."Mike is with me. Why don't you stay at home!"Avery was in deep thought. Elliot could sense that she was not in a good mood and was not willing to talk, so he did not say anything else.After hanging up, Layla walked over to him and asked, "Where did Mommy go? Why did she leave so early in the morning? Did you make her angry?""Your mother went to visit your grandmother's grave," Elliot explained. "She misses your grandmother."Layla responded, "Oh. I miss her too. Although I haven't seen her in a

Avery was so wrongfully mistreated. Mike had to give Elliot a proper scolding. If not, he would not be relieved of the anger.Also, he had to make sure what Elliot's feelings for Ruby were!If Elliot decided to get all tangled up with Ruby, Mike had to convince Avery to get a divorce!He dialed Elliot and the call was soon picked up."Avery said that she went with you to the cemetery. Where are you all now?" Elliot sounded as calm as usual."She said that she took me to the cemetery?" Mike was stunned."Didn't you go with her?" Elliot was stunned too."Hehe. Elliot, the cemetery is not the main issue. The main issue is that she caught wind of your rendezvous with Ruby last night!"Mike yelled angrily, "What the hell are you planning to do? If you don't want to be with Avery, divorce her already! Don't lead her on and have an affair outside!""She told you about it?" Elliot did not expect that his suspicions would come true. "I did see Ruby last night. I was about to tell Aver

After Avery had been woken up by the noise, she could not fall back asleep. She had been extremely depressed.Elliot saw Avery coming out. He immediately walked over to her and hugged her in his arms."Avery, I'm sorry," Elliot apologized and hugged her tightly.Her eyes reddened. She looked at Mike from the corner of her eyes. No matter what she said, it was not good to talk there.She pushed Elliot away. She wanted to talk to him in a different place, but Elliot did not let her go."Let's talk in the room," Avery said in a low voice while looking at his guilty-looking handsome face.Elliot took a deep breath and held her arm, taking her to the room. They entered the guest room and shut the door.Mike furrowed his brows. He let out a depressed sigh and headed to the door of the guest room. He wanted to eavesdrop. It was a pity that they were not arguing loudly in the room, so he could not hear anything.He took his phone out and sent a message to Chad. He typed, [Your boss is
