Chapter 192

When Avery heard him, she frowned.

“What do you mean by that dude? He has a name.” Avery corrected him, “Can you show some

respect?”

Elliot said, “Respect? You’re speaking of respect? You were together with that dude before our divorce,
did you show me any respect?”

“Please be clear. I filed for divorce four years ago. You were unwilling to sign then!”

“As long as I haven’t signed, we’re still legálly married. How could you cheat on me!?” Elliot interrogated
her.

Avery saw how serious he looked, she was almost convinced by him that she had cheated on him!

“Since when have I admitted that I was with him before our divorce?” Avery refuted, “It’s all your
speculation! If you want to suspect yourself of being cheated on, don’t blame me!”

Elliot took a deep breath to calm himself down, “Then, what’s his name?”

“Why would you want to know his name?” Avery asked cautiously.

“Didn’t you ask me to show some respect? How am I supposed to respect him if you don’t tell me his
name?!”

“Oh…even if I do tell you, you would not show him respect anyway.” Avery did not want to tell him
because she did not want Elliot to run a background check on Mike, “Elliot, you already have a new
girlfriend. Since we both have new lives now, let’s stop bothering one another!”

Avery finished speaking as Elliot’s phone rang.



He took out his phone and looked at the screen.

It was Zoe calling

Today was Zoe’s birthday. Yesterday, she had invited him to eat out with her today.

Since this was Zoe’s first birthday on her return, Elliot agreed.

Zoe had arrived at the restaurant so she phoned Elliot to ask him when he would arrive.

Elliot looked at his phone screen and hesitated.

Avery saw the name on his screen and turned to leave.

He grabbed her arm and did not want her to leave. He had not finished talking to her.

Even though they got divorced, he did not want her to self-sabotage.

That dude looked like a gangster!

How could she find this type of man!?

He accepted the call, “Doctor Sanford, apologies, something’s up…” Zoe, “Oh, it’s okay! I can wait for
you. It’s still early.”

Elliot said, “I won’t be able to come.”

Zoe felt as if she was splashed in the face with water, she said disappointedly, “Elliot, can you tell me
why?”

Elliot looked at Avery and said, “Shea is not feeling well. I need to stay with her.”

Zoe said, “I see, why don’t I come to join you two?”



Elliot said, “No need. Shea needs to be alone.”

After ending the call, he tossed his phone on the table.

Avery found it ironic.

It seemed that he was not so into his new girlfriend.

To him, Zoe was merely a chess piece of his to treat Shea.

How ironic and sad!

“Elliot, your wrongdoings will come back at you.” Avery kindly warned him.

“This was her choice, I made it clear to her in the beginning.” Elliot ended this quickly and changed the
subject back to her.

“Why did you find such a man? Did you do it to trigger me?”

Avery was speechless.

Outside the study room.

Shea almost wanted to knock on the door to go inside.

“I hear nothing…nothing at all…”, she frowned.

‘Hayden did not hear anything as well.

Either the room was sound-proofed or they were not fighting at all.

Hayden went back to the living room and Shea followed behind him.



“I’m sorry!” Shea grabbed the hem of her skirt. She stopped for a moment and said bravely,” Hayden, I’m
sorry!”
