Chapter 1769
Author: Simple Silence
Layla had told him that she intended to be away for a month and a half. He had told her the max she could be away for was half a month.

He had not yelled at her. He had only informed her of how long he was comfortable letting her out of his sight. Layla had cried endlessly and thrown many tantrums.

After sending Shea back to the Brooks, Elliot drove home.

When he reached home, the snow had stopped. The courtyard was covered in a layer of white, adding some brightness to the night.

Avery liked building snowmen. If she was here, she would surely pull him out to the courtyard to build snowmen.

This thought suddenly came to him, unbidden. Elliot could not help but furrow his brows.

Entering the mansion, he stood by the door to change his shoes.

Mrs. Cooper walked over and said, "Master Elliot, Layla has left. Eric came to pick her up an hour ago."

"Did the bodyguard go with her?"

"Yes," Mrs. Cooper said. "I'm worried that if Layla is allowed to be away for so long, she will just g

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

When will the story end we are tired of waiting

I wish for a happy ending. Why doesn’t Eliot ask his sister she knows the truth and why does Avery cling on Mike the junk l really hate Mike he doesn’t like Eliot all along the story why

Who ever wrote this novel is stupid. Please I want my money back

Same here!!! I want all my money back SMDH!! This is such a stupid long story. GO TO HELL whoever wrote this book

So for 2 years they didn’t get back together, and it was just a misunderstanding on both parties.

After Elliott found out why didn’t he go talk to Avery and show her. Why was he scared of her. He should have took the kids and when to her. Mike could have took the kids to eat.

The story stoped at showing Ben the recording. Then what??? Shouldn’t he have gone to talk to Avery and show her? No! Elliott next was seeing Shea’s baby, then taking her home. To Mike being in there area then all of a sudden Layla went with Eric to see her mom. Then it was 2 years.

Right now that Jed is dead, they need to find out why, also check his computer. Hayden could hack it and help him and Elliott work together.

What? So instead of Resolving the Misunderstanding between Avery and Elliott. We skip 2 years. Why? What couldn’t they get back together?

Why any and everybody can come do what they want.. Eric shouldn’t even be taking Layla without Elliot being present. I guess everybody else as a say except for Elliot .

Layla needs a whipping with a big belt.

Hey, never say THE END. Update soonest. Why not try to find ways to reveal the TRUTH about Ivy being Elliot & Avery’s child. Shorten the story, reveal all facts & reconcile the couple & children. Give us our money’s. Spending more than $700 on this is no joke. I am just finishing this off.hurry up

that's it. hate this book, author

Cause her azz hit the mute button but didn’t know cause she went blind, talking about he knew but he didn’t just no communication at all for none of them ugh

Kim absolutely

So do I crazy right

Denise I co-signed exactly what you just said! No one is on Elliot’s side not his close friend Ben, not even his kids that lives with him. They need to know that Ivy is their daughter together and was never Ruby’s! Please get rid of Natalie with her scheming self Eric can go to with his negative azz

ok why are they still split up instead of him proving he never heard Avery say she was blind? where's Ivie? Did Wanda take her since Elliot family killed her daughter? why hasn't anyone located her friends text from internet due to hit Avery 18yrs later. why not now and get the family back together

no we all want a happy ending. however it takes them way to long to come up with more chapters. why wasn't this book finished before it was published? and why wasn't it proof read? so many errors and repeat paragraphs it's ridiculous. they charge you for them though!

So over this, 2 years has passed. Seriously. How messed up are you. This is ridiculous and I want my money back.

Not let’s get IVY and reunite with them and be a family. If Mike is the one that cause the shooting that took Ivy away Elliott needs to kill him. And get everyone out also need to teach Hayden to respect Elliott

obviously not

at first I skipped chapters but now I only read the last chapter posted.

this roller coaster is too much, is he only meant to suffer? this is way too much, can you just get this done ... either a happy ending or tragic one.

Great...️ At least the AUTHOR has finally realized to revolve & divulge to Elliot what exactly happened to Avery. Remove “OTHERS”, NUISANCE IN THEIR LIVES- NATALIE ERIC. Eric should remain her friend , nothing else.Eliminate CHARACTERS not needed in this story. Shorten it w/ a happy ending

Good, you finally was able to center the story around them

How long before the next chapter comes out? I'm way too curious now ...... are i The only one who want to see a happy endning?

The author doesn’t give a shit about our opinions

I was assuming that something good will happen when Mike went back to bridgedale but what a disappointment. They make Elliot's character smart but in the story he is actually dumb.

STAY ON THE MAIN STORY ONLY ELLIOTT AND AVERY. NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE REST THEY ARE USELESS AND WASTE IF STORY TIME
