Chapter 483

The moment Hayden’s eyes met Elliot’s, he felt the blood in his body freeze!

His mother had told him to stay far away from him.

Hayden immediately walked off.

“Hayden Tate!” Elliot called out when he saw Hayden avoid him like the25 plague.

Hayden’s footsteps slowed down, but he did not stop walking.

Elliot had to quicken his steps and run aftergc him.

He blocked Hayden’s path, then demanded, “What are you doing here alone? Where’s Shea?”

“Stay away from me!” Hayden did not want to speak to him, nor did he want to see his face.” Didn’t you
owe me a wish? I want you to grant it right now. Stay away from me! Never come close to me ever23
again!”

A peculiar sense of frustration surged inside of Elliot as he watched the conflicted expression on
Hayden’s face.

He did not want his relationship with Avery’s son to be thisza horrible!

Breaking ties with Hayden would have a severe impact on his own relationship with Avery.

If he did not mess up and almost strangled Hayden to death back then, Avery would not forbid him from
entering her35 home.

“I’d like to apologize,” Elliot said as his Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. “I’m sorry.”

Hearing his apology made Hayden think he was hearing things.



How was it possible for someone as prideful as Elliot to admit he was wrong?

“I don’t need your apology!” Hayden said, not giving Elliot any room left for his dignity.

Hayden then picked up his backpack and stormed towards the park entrance.

Elliot was concerned for his safety, so he ran after him and said, “I’ll take you home.”

“I don’t want you to!” Hayden refused loudly.

Elliot swiftly picked him up and said, “I’m taking you home! There’s no use in throwing a tantrum! I’ll leave
once I send you home!”

Over at Tate Industries, Mike pushed open the doors to Avery’s office, then yanked her out from behind
her desk without a word.

“What’s wrong?” Avery asked as her eyebrows twitched.

“There’s trouble!” Mike said with a heavy face. “I wouldn’t have found out that Big H did something this
big behind our backs if I hadn’t read the news! He competed in the National Youth Programming
Championships! He won, but someone’s causing trouble.”

Avery’s brows furrowed tightly as she asked, “What kind of trouble? Is Hayden okay? Where is he right
now?”

“Elliot Foster sent him home!”

“What does this have to do with Elliot?!”

“Shea was the one who took Hayden to the competition,” Mike said in disbelief as he led Avery into the
elevator. “She was the one who got him straight into the finals! The other participants felt suspicious after
the competition and caused a ruckus.”



Avery was stunned.

“How did Shea pull that off?”

“What’s even scarier is that she hid it from Elliot, too. She’s definitely not just an idiot now!” Mike said
with certainty. “With her current mental abilities, she shouldn’t have any trouble taking care of herself at
all.”

Avery felt relieved, but still asked with concern, “Is Hayden okay?”

“He should be alright, but he hates Elliot to the core… They’re together right now… I don’t want to
imagine what that’s like,” Mike said as he shrugged.

Cold sweat began to form on Avery’s back.

When Hayden was sent back to the Starry River Villa, he immediately locked himself in his room.

Elliot sat in the living room and waited for Avery to come home.

He was surrounded by pin drop silence, but he could not calm his chaotic mood.

He had always thought that Hayden looked a little like him.

However, he found out today that Hayden’s looks were not the only thing that resembled him, but his
temper was also as bad as his!

Elliot could not stop himself from overthinking. Did Avery really adopt this strange, temperamental boy?
Was Hayden really not his son?!
