Chapter 497

Although Elliot once had a relationship with Zoe, rumors about his love life were less scandalous
compared to successful men.

At six in the evening, Avery and the children arrived a t the restaurant that Elliot sent her the location to
the night before.

Elliot had reserved a private VIP room.

When Avery mentioned the room number at the reception desk, a waiter immediately led them to the
room.

The moment they stepped in, Layla exclaimed in shock! "Mommy! It's beautiful here!"

The room was decorated in a Children's Day theme.

The colorful balloons, lights and flowers, as well as the presents that covered the floor left them in awe.

"What's in all these gift boxes, Mommy?" Layla asked as she picked up one of the presents.

"They're decorations.There's nothing inside of them, " Avery said.

The waiter smiled and said, "Actually, Miss Tate, there are gifts in every single one of these
boxes.Mr.Foster was the one who prepared them.They're all Children's Day gifts for you and your
children."

Avery was stunned.

Her lips moved, but she did not know what to say.



"Miss Tate, Mr.Foster said to serve the food if you arrive before him," said the waiter.

"Would you like dinner to be served now?" Avery shook her head DAv'uJK said, "We'll wait for him."

Dinner was on Elliot, so it did not feel right to start eating before he arrived.

Besides, the dining table was covered in all kinds of fruit, desserts and snacks.

"Alright.Please call for me if you require any assistance.I'll be waiting right outside," said the waiter
before leaving the room.

Layla wanted to open the presents, but Hayden stopped her.

"I'm just lookin, Hayden," Layla said as she put ona pitiful face.

"Dirtbags are the best at wooing women.You'd definitely like the presents he gives you," Hayden said.

Layla pouted, then reluctantly put down the gift box.

Avery saw how much her daughter wanted to open the gifts, then said, "Hayden, no matter what
presents Elliot Foster gives you, I can always return a gift to him.Let's let Layla open them! We should
have some fun today."

Layla leaped in joy upon receiving her mother's permission.

"I promise I'll just take a look, Mommy! I won't take them with me!"

Avery agreed, but since she was worried that Layla might not be able to open the presents herself, she
walked over to help.

Hayden had no interest in the presents, so he took a seat at the table.He was a little hungry.



Normally, they would have already finished dinner by this time.

Avery opened up the first gift and pulled out an exquisite fighter jet model.

It looked like a miniature version of the real thing.

The quality was exceptional.

Layla grabbed the model, then ran over to Hayden and said, "Hayden! Didn't you say that I'd like
anything Dirtbag Dad gave me? Well, I don't like this one very much, but I think you would."

Avery opened up another gift to reveal a child's tiara that was embellished with colorful gemstones.

Sparkling accessories like this were Layla's favorite.

There were a total of eighteen presents.

Eight for a boy and eight for a girl.

When Avery was tired of opening presents, she pulled out her phone to check the time.Her back broke
into a cold sweat when she saw what time it was.

It was already seven in the evening, but Elliot was nowhere in sight! The children were hungry and
were sullenly snacking at the table.

The presents were beautiful, but how could Elliot make them wait this long? Avery's emotions were a
mess. dialed Elliot's number, and her call was answered more than a few
seconds later.

"Elliot..." she began.



As she was about to ask if he was stuck in traffic or if something important came up, she heard Zoe's
coquettish voice come through the phone.

"Elliot, if Avery didn't kill our baby...He would be celebrating Children's Day today, too!" Zoe sobbed.

"Did you forget about our son? He looked so much like you...How could you forget him?!"

A high-pitched buzz rang in Avery's head as the color drained from her face!
