Chapter 618
Mike looked at Avery and asked, “Do you want to go talk to him?”
Avery seemed to have not heard him.
Her gaze was looking out of the window. It was as if her soul had been sucked away by that
man.
Mike stopped the car and said louder, “Avery, go and talk to 46 him.”
Avery came to her senses. She pushed the car door open and got out of the car. When she was in the car, it was
air-conditioned, so she did not feel the heat outside. The moment she got out of the car a wave of heat washed
over her. Her forehead soon started to sweat.
She looked at Elliot’s face, which had been burned red by the sun. His forehead was sweaty. His shirt was soaked
through by sweat, sticking to his34 skin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe could not imagine how long he had been under this hot son.
“Miss Tate, you’re finally back. If you still don’t return, Mr. Foster’s life will probably end here today,” Elliot’s
bodyguard said unhappily, “We have been here since eight this morning! We’ve waited untilcd now!”
Avery was upset. Her body was trembling a little.
At the thought of him foolishly waiting under the sun for her the entire day, she could not control her anger. She
said, “Elliot, I’m not home. Can’t youge see?”
“You’re not picking up my phone. Did you miss it? What if you’re at home and you just don’t want to see me?” His
voice turned hoarse because of the lack of water.
Avery’s eyes instantly23 reddened.
She only did not pick up his phone call the night before. If he were to call her that day, perhaps she might have
picked up?
“Why are you here?” Avery forced back the tears in her eyes. She choked and said, “Is it because of Layla being in
an entertainment program? She’s back. Whatever you want to say, you can say to her!”
It was easy of Avery to say that, but how could her children possibly listen to him?
“Layla’s still young. Why does she want to earn money? It’s because she knows that you owe me money, right?”
Elliot’s cold voice rang out. “You put this pressure, which should not be borne by children, on your child. Might I ask
if you’re a competent mother?”
Avery choked on her words by Elliot’s questions.
Layla indeed participated in an entertainment program to earn some money. Her goal was just
ke what Elliot said, to help Avery pay back her debt.
Elliot, the person who has no right to talk about me in this entire world is you!” Avery wiped way the tears from the
corner of her eyes. “You don’t need to care about Layla’s affairs!”
‘Avery, I will not give in to you all the time!” He looked at Avery with a sharp gaze. His tone was rather harsh. “Take
this card! This is for giving birth to our child! Take it to pay your debts! I don’t want to see Layla going to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmentertainment world! Also, don’t let me see you taking on private engagements behind my back! Before you give
birth to the child, don’t think you can escape my control!”
Elliot stuffed a bank card into Avery’s hands and left as quickly as he came, disappearing before her eyes.
Avery held onto his card tightly. She secretly mocked. Did he just give her money to repay her debt to him?
Only Elliot would be able to think of things like this! Not only think, but he would also do such things.
Avery felt as if all of her energy had been depleted. She went back to the living area listlessly.
Mike passed her a cup of water.
“Avery, did he give you this card?” When Mike passed her the cup of water, he took over the card in her hands.
Avery picked up the card and drank some water.
“I think there’s an ATM in our neighborhood.” Mike had an excited expression. “Why don’t I go and check how much
money is there on this card?”
Avery could roughly guess the amount, but she said nothing.
“Uncle Mike, take me along! I want to have a look too!” Layla tugged on Mike’s clothes.
Mike lifted Layla. When he was by the door only, he remembered to ask Avery, “Why is he giving you money?”
Avery placed her cup down and got up from the sofa. “You ask him.”
