Chapter 514

Although Elliot had not done a paternity test, he knew Hayden’s character and he saw Hayden. There
was no denying that Hayden looked and behaved like him. There was no denying that Hayden was his
son.

Avery had also said that Layla was her biological daughter. How could she have given birth to both of
them in the span of four short years?

The only possibility was that the two children were born at the same time.

When Elliot was thinking about it last night, he had found himself seized with excitement that he had
found it hard to sleep… He truly liked Layla.

From the moment he met Avery’s children, he preferred Layla.

It did not matter who Avery had had Layla with, he had never once hated Layla because Layla looked a
lot like Avery. Layla also possessed a very interesting character. Although she was a good child, she was
not a child given to blinde8 obedience.

She was rather eccentric and quirky. Elliot lacked such characteristics which was part of the reason why
he liked her so much.

“What’s a twin?” Layla blinked her curious eyes innocently, fanning her eyelashes. “My Mommy has
never told me about this before! What does that mean?”

The hope that Elliot had felt was rapidly fading. Could things be not the way he had thought them to be?

What were the circumstances that lay behind the two children? He wanted to get a DNA test done,
however, without Avery’s permission and the children’s consent, he dared not do it. It would be harder to



gain their forgiveness than it would be getting their consent for such a87 test.

“If you’re not going to tell me, I’m going to go ask Mommy!” Layla pouted and was about to head
upstairs.

Elliot was afraid that Layla would disturb Avery, so he picked her up in his arms and walked into
the kitchen.

“Twins means that you and Hayden grew together while you were in your mommy’s tummy, and it also
means that you were born together,” said Elliot as he studied her adorable face.

Her brows, nose, and her tiny mouth were exactly the same as Avery’s. “Avery must have been this
adorable when she was young!” he thought.

Time stopped and the air froze.

Elliot pursed his lips. Then, very quickly, he pecked her cheek. Elliot flushed after the act.

At the same time, he realized that he had crossed the line. Layla did not like him, how could he have
kissed her?

He immediately placed the stunned Layla down on the floor.

“I’m sorry, Layla. I didn’t mean to do it,”

“You look too much like your mother. I couldn’t help it. I’m sorry.” He failed to tell her all of that in time.

Layla’s cries rang through the entire villa!

“Woo! Woo! Woo! Mommy!” Layla cried while screaming at the top of her lungs, “Mommy! Hayden! The
bad man kissed me! Woo! Woo! I don’t want him to kiss me!”



Instantly, everyone rushed over.

Avery and Hayden rushed downstairs. Mike, with his blonde spiky hair, was the first to rush over. He
immediately picked Layla up and patted her back. “Babe, who bullied you? Hmm?”

Layla, her vision blurred by her tears, pointed her little finger at Elliot who was in the kitchen.

When Mike saw Elliot, he was stunned. “Why are you here? Is it dark already? Bloody hell! Did I sleep
the entire day away?! Impossible!”

Avery took a piece of tissue to wipe Layla’s tears. “Layla, what did you just say? Who kissed you?” Avery
did hear her clearly.
