Chapter 234

Hayden watched his sister‘s innocent little face, then shattered her fantasy.

“A dirtbag is called a dirtbag because he can love multiple women at once. Don’t be fooled by Elliot
Foster.”

Layla felt a little disappointed.

She did not dare tell her brother that, even though Elliot was a dirtbag, she could not help but feel drawn
to him.

After dinner, Avery called Hayden to her room for a private conversation.

“Do you know what I want to talk to you about, Hayden?”

Hayden hung his head and said nothing.

“What did you promise me before? You said that you would never mess with Elliot Foster again, but you
broke your promise,” Avery said as her heart filled with uneasiness. “I know you did it for me today, but
this isn‘t the way...”

“I‘m sorry, Mommy,” Hayden apologized as he lifted his gaze. “I won‘t do it again.”

“You don‘t want to get on his bad side, Hayden. We‘re already divorced. If you anger him again one day,
and he decides not to take our past relationship into account, he won‘t let us off that easily... I just want
you, Layla and Grandma to live a quiet and peaceful life.”

“I know,” Hayden said as he lowered his head once again.

“Bring me your laptop,” Avery said.

Hayden went back to his room to grab his laptop and handed it over to his mother.



“Get your Uncle Mike for me,” Avery said as she put the laptop aside.

Mike showed up soon after.

“I‘m surprised you invited me into your room, Avery!” Mike said as he sat down next to Avery and hid his
nervousness behind a smile.

Avery looked at the bruises on his face, then said with a sullen expression, “Did you fight with Chad
Rayner again? You even broke his glasses? Great job!”

Mike lifted his hands in surrender and said, “He was the one who yanked at my necklace first. It was a
gift from my ex boyfriend...”

“Who is it, Elliot?” she asked on purpose.

She said it for Avery to hear. She wanted Avery to know that Elliot was out on a date with her.
