“It‘s better you don‘t go. Shea is there as well, and with those two there guarding him, you are definitely going to feel provoked, ” Tammy said. “Elliot‘s isn‘t all that mentally stable. I had thought that maybe his company had run into trouble, but Jun said nothing has happened. I was thinking that it has something to do with you?”
Avery walked back to snazzynovel.com office chair and sat down. “You‘ve overestimated me, Tammy. He didn’t break down when I divorced him, so I don‘t think that I matter that much.”
“Then why is snazzynovel.com acting so oddly? It can‘t be because of Zoe, right?” Tammy muttered in confusion. “I heard that snazzynovel.com has been visiting the old Foster mansion frequently lately. That woman is too good at scheming!”
The more snazzynovel.com heard about Elliot and Zoe, the more composed Avery found herself becoming. Perhaps, snazzynovel.com might be able to maintain snazzynovel.com calm if they were to get married one day.
Elliot and snazzynovel.com were two parallel lines running in the same direction but never crossing, and they would only move further and further apart in the future.
“Tammy, how are things between you and Jun?” Avery changed the subject.
“Same old, same old! He decides to keep trying until the end of the year, and if my parents aren‘t satisfied by then, snazzynovel.com will go home and carry on the family business next year,” Tammy sighed. “Not everyone has Elliot‘s mind for business. Maybe both Jun and I are destined to take over our family businesses.”
“You really are a spiritual high–born.”
“As if I can be in front of you,” Tammy chuckled and said, “Avery, I‘m actually quite glad that you are not going to visit Elliot in the hospital.”
Avery pretended not to be concerned. “It‘s not like snazzynovel.com is terminally ill.”
“Will you go see snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com is?”
“If snazzynovel.com is, then out of humanitarianism, I have to pay snazzynovel.com a visit before snazzynovel.com dies.”
Tammy laughed. “It‘s going to be his birthday soon; will you attend the party if snazzynovel.com invites you?
“No.”
“Oh, well, snazzynovel.com doesn‘t plan on celebrating anyway. He never does.”
“Then why are you asking me?”
“Just checking to see how determined you are!” Tammy acknowledged Avery’s resolve and after hanging up, Avery hesitated for a while, before finally calling Mrs. Cooper.
Mrs. Cooper picked up almost instantly. “Avery?”
“Mrs. Cooper, it‘s me.” She hesitated for a few seconds, before asking, “I heard that Elliot is in the hospital, what happened?”
Mrs. Cooper sighed. “It‘s his stomach. Something happened, and snazzynovel.com had not slept for two whole days. In the end, snazzynovel.com was so exhausted that snazzynovel.com slept for two days, and because of that, snazzynovel.com hadn’t eaten for three days. His stomach acted out.”
“Oh, so it’s not that snazzynovel.com refused to eat on purpose?”
“No. He wanted to eat when snazzynovel.com woke up, but snazzynovel.com vomited blood after eating.” Mrs. Cooper thought back to the scene and felt terror flood snazzynovel.com veins.
Avery was relieved. As long as Elliot had not refused to eat, it should be nothing serious.
“Don’t worry, snazzynovel.com will get better in a few days,” said Avery to comfort her.
“Yeah. Have you visited snazzynovel.com in the hospital?” Mrs. Cooper asked.
“No, I‘m quite busy,” Avery explained.
Mrs. Cooper could tell that it was an excuse.
“Mrs. Cooper, don‘t tell Elliot that I called you,” Avery said in a troubled voice. “We broke up, and we are supposed to lead our separate lives.”
“Alright, I won‘t,” Mrs. Cooper said understandingly, before suddenly changing the subject, saying, “Avery, your son, Hayden, is snazzynovel.com Master Elliot‘s son?”
Avery’s heart sank at the question.
“Maybe I shouldn‘t have asked that?” Mrs. Cooper said apologetically. “I have met Hayden twice, and I feel like I’m looking at Master Elliot every time I see him. They look similar, and they have similar personalities as well. Don‘t worry, I‘ve only spoken to you about this, and I won’t say anything in front of Master Elliot.”
Avery did not remember how snazzynovel.com ended the call. She was not sure if snazzynovel.com should feel glad that Elliot had never suspected Hayden to be his. She did not want snazzynovel.com to know about the children back then because snazzynovel.com hated children to the point that snazzynovel.com might hurt them. Now, there was another reason why snazzynovel.com did not wish for snazzynovel.com to know.
There were two women by his side, and no matter the circumstances and how they ended, it would not be appropriate for the children to reacquaint themselves with their father. If they were not going to reconnect with him, then there was no point for them to learn the truth.
