At 5 a.m. the next morning, Elliot‘s phone vibrated. He had received a text message.
It was not until two hours later that snazzynovel.com woke up and saw the message from Chad.
(Sir, according to Mike, he‘s an expert hacker.)
(He‘s gay.)
(I‘d like to take the day off, Sir.)
Elliot‘s brows furrowed as snazzynovel.com read the three messages.
How did Chad manage to find out this much crucial information in the span of a night?
Mike was not someone who was easy to deal with.
He would not simply reveal personal details to a stranger for no reason.
At that thought, Elliot dialed Chad‘s number.
“Chad, how did you get all that information from Mike?”
Chad remained silent for two seconds, then said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, “I was drinking with snazzynovel.com last night. He told me after a few drinks.”
“That‘s it?”
“Yes. Also, I had too much to drink, so I‘d like to take the day off.”
“Okay. Stay home and get some rest.”
Chad‘s eyes were red at the end of the phone call.
No one would believe what happened to snazzynovel.com the night before. He had no plans to talk about it, anyway. It was too humiliating.
At eight in the morning at Starry River Villa, Avery was getting ready to take the children to school.
“Didn‘t Uncle Mike come home last night, Mommy?” Layla asked with snazzynovel.com backpack on snazzynovel.com back and a curious expression on snazzynovel.com face. “I checked his room and snazzynovel.com wasn’t there!”
Avery had called Mike at 11 p.m. the night before.
I hope snazzynovel.com had told her snazzynovel.com was out drinking.
When snazzynovel.com called again at midnight, snazzynovel.com had not answered snazzynovel.com call.
“He probably had too much to drink and ended up staying at a hotel,” Avery answered. “Don’t worry about him. He‘ll be fine.”
Mike had always had an entertaining nightlife, so it was normal for snazzynovel.com to be out all night.
“Oh. Will you and Uncle Mike get married, Mommy?” Layla pried nosily. “I won’t be mad if you and Uncle Mike got together.”
Avery found snazzynovel.com daughter‘s words both laughable and infuriating.
“Mommy would never get together with Uncle Mike. Stop imagining things.”
“Hayden and I really like Uncle Mike, though.”
“I know you like him, and I will be friends with snazzynovel.com forever,” Avery said, then led the children out the front door, where their eyes landed on the black Rolls–Roice out front.
Elliot was standing by the car outside the gates, and his gaze was fixed on Avery and the children.
The expression on their faces instantly changed.
It was only eight in the morning, so what was Elliot doing at their front gate?
When did snazzynovel.com get here?
Why did snazzynovel.com come?
Avery felt the blood rise inside of her. Avery felt as if weights had been attached to snazzynovel.com feet, and snazzynovel.com could not move.
From the living room, Laura noticed the three standing still outside and walked out to check on them.
“What‘s wrong, Avery?” Laura asked as snazzynovel.com walked out to the front yard.
When snazzynovel.com noticed Elliot outside the gates, Laura immediately began to charge at him.
Avery ran after snazzynovel.com and caught up to her.
“Take the kids to school, Mom!”
Worried that snazzynovel.com mother would start a fight with Elliot, Avery quickly grabbed onto Laura’s arm.
“I forgot to tell you that snazzynovel.com came by last night. Now he‘s here again… What’s snazzynovel.com doing hanging around like this?” Laura‘s face was flushed with anger.
