Chapter 2133

After Avery got into the car, Wilson did not bother asking where she wanted to go and sent her home straight away."Miss Tate, you look so tired. You should rest at home!"Avery touched her face and mumbled, "It's all happening too fast. I've never expected things to turn out this way. It's just strange, but I can't seem to put my finger on which part of it didn't make sense.""It is strange. I have been checking the news and all the netizens have gone crazy over this." Wilson glanced at the clock and said, "You should go take a nap. You said that Elliot will be home at night, right? When he comes home, you two will have to have a long talk and you can't talk to him if you are exhausted.""Do you think I was wrong, Wilson?" she asked."No, you are not, Miss Tate, but neither is Elliot. Fate just loves to torture people is all," Wilson consoled her. "If I know that you are at fault here, Elliot should know that as well."Avery felt the urge to chuckle at the clumsy consolation.I

"Hayden! How could you say something like that to your dad?!" Avery's blood ran cold, stricken by the shock that her son would say such a thing to Elliot."I don't want someone like this to be my father!" Hayden shouted. "You've never given up on him, so what gave him the right to give up? What else can he do apart from causing you trouble?! He's a good-for-nothing!"Slap!Unable to contain her rage, Avery slapped Hayden on the face.It was the first time she had ever hit her children. Her palm felt numb, and her heart twitched with pain.Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw the look of disbelief on Hayden's face.She wanted to apologize right away, but Hayden beat her to it and turned to run away."Hayden!" Avery wanted to go after her, but the nanny came and stopped her."Avery, you've just slapped him. He probably hates you for it right now. Just let the bodyguard go after him," the nanny said. "Hayden is your son. He won't be mad at you for long. It'll be fine once he fig

"You don't understand me enough. I can bear with the suffering, but I can't let you marry some other guy for my sake. Never," he said in a determined tone. "If something like that happens again, I will still do something that disappoints you two.""I get it. I won't do it again.""Eat! We can talk after you finish your dinner."Avery had no appetite, but because Elliot was staring at her, she had to force the food down.She came to realize how Elliot must have felt from her forcing her will on him recently after finishing her dinner."Let's go out for a walk!" she suggested."Okay.""It's a bit cold outside. I'll go grab the jacket." She glanced at the sky outside, before going to take two thick jackets.She handed Elliot his jacket and put on her own.The two stepped out of the house and strolled toward the center of the residential area."I went to the hospital to look at Angela's body earlier today." She grabbed onto his hand and felt how hot his palm was. "Dean's men were

Chapter 2136

"If you call her now, she might just run away," Elliot joked.Chad could not help but chuckle. "You know her well.""If I still don't know her despite everything that has happened, I would be a fool.""What are you going to do, Mr. Foster? Dean has lost Angela and poses no threat to you, so we don't have to hold back.""I won't go easy on him, of course." The look in Elliot's eyes darkened. "Even if he is still a threat to me, I'm not afraid of him. I'd rather handle all these people before I die instead of just surviving."Chad frowned; his heart dropped from the word 'die'. "I thought Avery talked to you last night.""I talked to her, and she promised to not do anything that will enrage me again," Elliot said casually. "I will give her another chance."Chad had thought that Avery would lecture Elliot so that he would not throw away his life, but to his surprise, it was Avery who was lectured.In the mansion, Avery was supposed to meet with the five experts she had hired befor

Chapter 2137

"Alright. Go to work!""Yeah." Avery grabbed her purse and jacket and headed out.The temperature in Bridgedale had dropped drastically as though they had skipped autumn and went straight into winter.She went into the car and gave Wilson the address of her destination."Miss Tate, have you made peace with Hayden?""Not yet. I was out of line and if I was him, I would still be mad as well," Avery said casually. "He likes chestnuts so let's buy some on our way back in the evening.""Yeah. Last night, he was the one who said he wanted to go to the drug store," Wilson said. "I didn't realize it last night but after thinking about it, I realized that he went to the drug store not because his cheek hurt, but because he didn't want you to feel overly guilty if it gets swollen."Avery felt even worse when Wilson said."Miss Tate, I know you didn't mean to hit him. It's just too hard for you to be stuck between Elliot and Hayden. No one on earth can handle their career and family affai

Chapter 2138

"Elliot, you have my parents. One thing, or ten, or even a hundred things, so long as I'm capable of doing them, I will do anything for you. All I ask is that you let me live after I'm done. My mom has diabetes and my stepfather has an old injury on his back, so he can't work anymore. They are both living off of the money I make. If I die, they won't survive either." Natalie lowered her head and tears rolled down her cheeks.Chad watched her from a distance and felt nothing but the irony in the situation. He felt no sympathy for Natalie, and her tears just looked like crocodile tears to him. If they took pity on her and let her live, she would definitely seek revenge on Elliot in the future whenever she had the chance."I have ordered my lawyer to draft up a contract. Sign it first, and I will consider if I'm going to let you live," he looked at her while sitting in the office chair."What kind of contract?" Natalie asked nervously.Elliot took out his phone to check the time, but

Chapter 2139

"Hey! Who are you calling Chubby?" The expert who was referred to as 'Chubby' asked angrily."You, of course! You are the chubbiest among the five of us! Your real name is too long for any of us to remember! We are just going to call you Chubby from now on!" Peter said."Fine. Chubby it is, then. My name is quite difficult to remember," Chubby said in defeat."Avery, you live with Elliot so you should know if he's a robot," Peter continued. "Have there been any abnormalities in the way he talks or acts?""I can assure you all that he is no different from the person he used to be," Avery said without hesitation. "He has his own way of thinking, and even his subconscious habits remain exactly the same. He is not being controlled, so we can cross that theory out."Three of the researchers including Chubby appeared to be disappointed."Peter, have you read through Angela's research data? What do you think?" Avery asked."If that device is keeping Elliot alive, and Elliot's mind belo

Chapter 2140

"Wilson, let's head home," Avery said."Aren't we going to buy chestnuts?" Wilson asked. "What happened?""Both Elliot and Hayden are at home. I'm worried that they will fight." Avery's heart sank. "Hayden is still mad at me, so he has to be mad at Elliot as well!""Those two didn't fight last night when you were inside the room! Hayden only got mad after you came out," Wilson said.Avery's head started pounding. "I'm still worried.""Let's hurry back, then."In the mansion, the nanny served Elliot a bowl of soup, before she went up with Hayden's bowl. Setting the bowl before him, she told Hayden that Elliot was home. Hayden immediately stepped out of his room with the bowl of soup in hand.This was his and his mother's house, and Elliot, Avery's former husband, was an outsider. Hayden did not intend on hiding in his room.The nanny was surprised to see Hayden out and about, but she was still relieved. She went into the living room, and when she remembered that Elliot was hom

Chapter 2141

Hayden instantly blushed."You are getting old. It's foolish to commit suicide simply because an old man blackmailed you!" Hayden's stern tone eased slightly."People change when they grow older. When I first met your mom, I wronged her in many ways; but then again, I was quite frustrated as well, because my so-called mother liked Avery."Hayden did not know much about Elliot and Avery's past, so his interest was piqued, and did not interrupt Elliot.By the time Avery hurried back, the atmosphere in the living room was unexpectedly peaceful.The nanny approached her with a smile and whispered, "They didn't fight. Mr. Foster has been extremely tolerant with Hayden, so Hayden couldn't quite find the opportunity to get mad at him."Avery sighed a silent breath of relief."Miss Tate, should I go buy some chestnuts?" Wilson asked."Yeah," she said, before going to sit next to Hayden. "Hayden, let me see your face.""It's fine now." Hayden did not want her to see the bruise on his f

Chapter 2142

The smile on Avery's face instantly froze."I like it that you are dominating," he added. "Back then, I used to consider protecting you and the kids as my responsibility, but now that I can't and need you to protect me instead... It's a hard pill to swallow, so I was quite upset for a while.""And now you are okay?" Avery could sense that he was more relaxed from his tone."Hayden taught me a lesson today." He shrugged. "I feel like maybe I've really aged.""Don't think like that. Everyone ages, and like an old machine, anyone would experience difficulties." She served a piece of steak onto his plate. "Eat well and drink well. There’s always hope.""You went to meet with those experts today, right? Do you think you can rely on them?" Elliot couldn't help but feel hesitant about the people Mike had gathered.Avery bit down on a piece of vegetable and chewed slowly. "I don't know them enough to say anything just yet, but Peter is famous. I didn't think he would come to our aid.""
