The loud sound startled Avery and Mike and they looked at the door with surprise. From there, they saw Elliot’s face looking horrible and sunken as if someone had offended him.
“Hi, Avery’s ex-husband!” Mike jumped off the table and marched towards Elliot as snazzynovel.com greeted Elliot cheerfully.
Avery felt pain in snazzynovel.com temples. Mike had no idea what a scary person Elliot was. It was up to Avery to stop Mike from inviting his own death. Avery quickly strode toward Mike and pulled snazzynovel.com backward.
This action caused Elliot’s anger to slowly rise. What was the relationship between the both of them, Elliot wondered? Why was Avery being so protective of this inappropriate-looking man?
“Why are you here?” Avery stood in front of Elliot as snazzynovel.com looked up at him, “Is there still reason for us to meet anymore?”
Elliot clenched his fingers so tightly that the paper in his hand almost ripped apart. He walked a step forward so that his body got closer to Avery.
Avery could feel the anger in Elliot rising and snazzynovel.com could lash out at any time. She quickly pushed Mike out of the door and said, “Wait for me outside.”
After snazzynovel.com pushed Mike out of the office, snazzynovel.com closed the door.
“Who is that man?” Elliot questioned Avery with snazzynovel.com cheek slowly turning red.
There was no one else in the room spectating, so Avery was no longer afraid of Elliot.
“Elliot, don’t force me to be rude. I don’t want to fight with you,” Avery said as snazzynovel.com took the piece of paper away from Elliot’s hand, “This is…”
Before snazzynovel.com could finish snazzynovel.com sentence, snazzynovel.com saw Hayden’s name on the piece of paper. Her body started to shiver and snazzynovel.com face was full of terror and nervousness.
Elliot looked at the change of expression on Avery’s face coldly. His intuition became stronger.
“Avery Tate! Is this child mine?” said Elliot with a cold and sharp voice, without any trace of warmth.
Without any hesitation, Avery responded very quickly, “No. Our child was aborted a long time ago. This child… I adopted snazzynovel.com while I was abroad.”
The only way to get through this was to lie. Avery must lie. If snazzynovel.com did not, then Elliot would use all means to take the child away. He hated children and snazzynovel.com vouched to never have children in this life.
In addition, Hayden was different from normal children. Who knew what would happen to Hayden if Elliot had custody over him.
“Adopted?” Elliot frowned as snazzynovel.com did not expect that answer, “Why did you want to adopt a child?”
“Because snazzynovel.com was different from a normal child. I think he’s pitiful and that’s why I adopted him. This will be the only and last time that I’ll explain it to you, Elliot. Stop messing around in my private life. If you have so much free time on your hands, why don’t you go take care of your girlfriend?”
Avery threw the piece of paper into the shredder.
Looking at how emotional Avery was, Elliot suddenly felt as if snazzynovel.com was being doused with a bucket of cold water. The anger snazzynovel.com felt was instantly extinguished.
News traveled so fast that even Avery now knew snazzynovel.com had a new girlfriend. He wanted to explain to Avery, but snazzynovel.com realized everything snazzynovel.com said would be funny.
“Avery, the new boyfriend of yours doesn’t seem good. You should have better taste in men.”
It was supposed to be just an advice and yet, it turned out to be mockery.
Avery was agitated by snazzynovel.com and wanted to show snazzynovel.com what it felt like, “Your new girlfriend is nothing good as well. You should have picked Chelsea instead. I wonder what were you thinking.”
Elliot gritted his teeth, “Have you ever seen Zoe before? To me, snazzynovel.com is far better than Chelsea!”
Avery raised snazzynovel.com eyebrows, “What do you know about my Mike? He may look messy and playful but snazzynovel.com has a pure heart. Unlike someone who is not only in two but even three relationships at the same time!” Elliot’s face turned pale after being agitated. Soon, snazzynovel.com stormed out of Avery’s office.
