Chapter 640

“Why didn’t you bring a bodyguard? Don’t you know that you are a public figure?” Avery furrowed her
brows. She was suddenly angry. “Did you think that there wouldn’t be danger in Bridgedale? Bridgedale’s
safety is much worse than Aryadelle’s!”

Elliot looked at her agitated face. Words got stuck in his throat.

“Avery, don’t be angry. I came here on a last-minute decision,” Elliot explained. “At that time, there wasn’t
an extra ticket on the flight, so I didn’t bring the bodyguard along with me.

“Can’t you just take the next flight with your bodyguard?” Although Avery was complaining, she had
calmed down. “You’re staying at my place tonight.”

“Okay.”

“Did you do it deliberately?” The more she thought, the more suspicious she got. “Did you really not bring
your bodyguard?”

“What about the trust we just talked about?” Elliot said directly, “If I wanted to stay at your place, I have a
thousand ways to do it. The only thing I won’t do is lie to you and gain your pity to achieve my goal.”

Avery blushed because of hercd suspicion.

Once Hayden returned home, he saw Mike sitting in the living area eating takeaway and drinking beer.

“Big H, didn’t I spend this morning repairing the webpage? Turns out, someone shut it down, “Mike said
remorsefully, “I’m guessing the webpage must have a hugege secret.”

“Oh,” Hayden said distractedly, “Elliot came to look for Mommy.”

Mike knew about this, so he was not surprised.



“Big H, don’t be sad. You’re a man. You should recognize the reality and accept it,” Mike comforted him,
“Your mother loves Elliot. Even if they fight all the time, it can’t change this fact.”

Hayden pouted. He was indignant.

“This is love,” Mike comforted Hayden. “You’re still young, so you won’t understand. You’ll get it once
you’re older.”

Hayden was gloomy from Mike’s comforts. He turned around and returned to his room.

Soon after, Avery brought Elliot home.

Mike saw the two of them and raised his beer on the table. He raised his eyebrow and said to

OW

Elliot, “Come have a drink!”

Avery looked at Mike and said nothing. She was prepared to return to her room to take a shower.

Elliot grabbed her arm and asked her, “Can I drink with him?”

Avery said, “Drink if you want to.”

“Can you two not be so corny? Do you need to ask permission just to drink?” Mike teased, “If those that
don’t understand this situation, they would think that I was about to pick a fight!”

“I’m just afraid that I’ll get you drunk, and she’ll get angry.” Elliot walked over to Mike and sat down. He
picked up a can of beer.

Avery was a little worried. She warned, “Don’t get too drunk. There’s no nanny to take care of you at
night.”



“Avery, don’t worry! I won’t get drunk! As for him…as long as he begs for mercy, I won’t make him drink
anymore!” Mike said while picking up a can of beer and drinking with Elliot.

Avery has predicted that the situation would turn out to be tragic that night. Before returning to her room,
she went to look for Hayden.

Hayden had just finished his shower. His hair was wet, yet he looked sleepy as if he could fall asleep the
next second.

She immediately entered the room, took the hairdryer, and started blow-drying his hair.

Once his hair is dry, she ruffled his head. “Hayden, Elliot didn’t bring a bodyguard over this time, so I let
him stay the night.”

Hayden nodded. “Mommy, I’m sleepy. Go to bed too.”

Avery nodded and returned to her room.

At two in the morning, her phone screen lit up before it started ringing.

Avery woke up in alarm from her sleep. She picked up her phone and answered the call.

Ten minutes later, she left her room with her bag in hand.

The living area lights were still on. Mike and Elliot were each on a sofa, they were drunk as a skunk.

No one won.

Avery long expected this outcome. She glanced at them before leaving in a rush. Something has
happened to the company.
