Chapter 536

Chad deeply understood Elliot’s feelings.

He was on Elliot’s side in the same way that Mike was on Avery’s side no matter what happened.

It was two in the morning when the black Rolls-Roice pulled up at the Foster mansion.

The living room lights were still on.

When Elliot got out of the car, Mrs. Cooper immediately emerged from the house.

“Did something happen over at Avery’s, Master Elliot? Hayden called Shea around 10 p.m. just now
asking her to go over there.”

The moment Elliot heard Hayden’s name, his frigid heart began to ache once again.

Avery did not only abandon him, he also left behind her two79 children.

“It’s late, Master Elliot. You should get some rest!” Mrs. Cooper saw the darkness on Elliot’s face, and
did not say more.

Elliot dragged his heavy body and walked into his bedroom like a zombie.

When his reddened eyes landed on the bed, the memory of Avery cruelly walking away from him
entered his mind.

He could not help but suspect that they had not made up at all, and that everything that happened that
day was his ownza imagination!

It was only in his dreams that he had ever seen Avery make the first move like that.

That’s why, he was sure that none of it was real!



However, the pain in heart was more real than any of the times he had woken up from his nightmares.

Time went on through the night, and dawn quickly showed its face.

A car pulled up in front of the Foster mansion at seven in the morning, and Shea emerged from it.

When Mrs. Cooper saw Shea return, she rushed up to her and asked, “What happened, Shea? Isn’t
Avery home? Where did she go?”

“Avery went to Bridgedale,” Shea said. “Is Elliot home?”

This was the first time Mrs. Cooper heard Shea address Elliot by his name, so she was stunned.

“Yes, he is. He got home late last night, so he might still be sleeping.”

Shea made her way upstairs.

When she arrived on the second floor, the door to Elliot’s room suddenly opened.

Elliot did not get a wink of sleep.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot and a strong wave of tobacco seeped out of his room.

Fear rose inside of Shea as she looked at the haggard yet eerie man standing before her.

“Shea, how are Layla and Hayden?” Elliot said, breaking the silence.

His voice was hoarse from staying up all night.

“Oh…” Shea mustered up her courage and said, “Big Brother, let’s fly over to find Avery!”

“Did the kids tell you to say that?” Elliot’s eyes were cold, and his voice was even frostier.



Of course he had thought of going after Avery.

However, the desire to do so vanished every time he thought of how heartless she had behaved toward
him.

He had abandoned his pride, but she refused to even give him one last look!

Shea knew she could not hide it from Elliot, so she walked over to his side and held his arm.

“Big Brother, I feel bad for Hayden and Layla… Layla fell asleep last night but woke up crying again…
She wants to go find her mother… She only calmed down after I promised to take her.”

Layla’s adorable little face instantly popped into Elliot’s mind.

His frigid heart wavered.

“Where are they right now?” he croaked.

“They’re in the front yard.”

Elliot’s heart tightened in his chest. He turned back into his room and washed up.

Hayden held Layla’s hand as the two of them stood unmoving in the front yard. Their stern expressions
were in complete contrast with the bright sun shining down on them.

“Do you think Elliot Foster will take us to go find Mommy, Hayden?”

Layla’s eyes were still swollen from crying all night.

Hayden responded in a cold voice, “If he won’t take us, then he will be dead to us from now on.
