Chapter 1647

She rubbed her eyes and recalled what had happened last night.

"Nothing...It's probably because I didn't take a nap yesterday."

She sat up in bed.What time is it? Are you going to work now?"

"You overslept so I was worried that you weren't feeling well." She shook her head with a smile.

"I'm fine...Go to work!"

"Okay.If you didn't sleep well, you should go back to sleep.Leave work behind for now."

He planted a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm going now."

She hummed in response and watched as he left the room.

After he was gone, she lay back down in bed.Her head felt dizzy from lack of sleep, but she simply could
not go back to sleep.She picked up her phone, but she was not sure what to do.She wanted to talk but
was not sure who she could talk to because it did not seem appropriate to mention what had happened
to anyone.

After all, Elliot had yet to tell her the truth.One thing she was certain of was that Elliot had developed
feelings for his daughter in Ylore.

In Sterling Group, Ben barged into Elliot's office shortly after Elliot's arrival.

"I went home for a shower after my flight and came straight here once I was done."



Ben sat down on a chair across from him and tapped his finger on the table.

"Buy me coffee and I'll show you photos of your daughter."

"When you were drunk at Ruby's place, she stole your phone and video called me."

Ben stared at Elliot in shock.

"You are so defenseless at a stranger's house that I don't know whether to call you brave or stupid," Elliot
said, before calling Chad to ask him to buy coffee for them.

Ben massaged his temples.

"Ruby took my phone?! How dare she even chase me out after that?"

"How dare YOU get drunk while drinking with Paul? Do you not know what kind of man he is? I
remember telling you about him," Elliot said sharply.

"I know he's not a good person, but I have no grudge against him, " Ben said.

"I just wanted to plant the idea of dating Ruby inside his head so Ruby won't come looking for you."

"Ruby has not fallen for Paul through the years they have known each other, so what makes you think
that you could change that?"

"Doesn't matter if it works.I just wanted to speak my mind," Ben said.

"If Ruby video called you, you must have already met Ivy, then?"

"Yeah."

"Doesn't she look a lot like Layla?"



Ben unlocked his phone showed Elliot the video he took of Ivy.

"I really wanted to bring her here. It's a shame that Ruby won't let me."

"Why would you bring her here? Without a plan, it would be like bringing a ticking time bomb back"

"We will just see how it goes from there! Ylore is too far, and it's too much trouble to see her."

Seeing how serious Elliot was when he looked at the video, Ben teased, "I thought you would be mad at
me for going to see Ivy!"

Elliot ignored his tone.

"How would Avery feel if she sees Ivy?"

"I'm not sure...But I don't think she would be too mad about it, because she's the exact replica of Layla,"
Ben said.

"I wouldn't have traveled that far if Ivy looked like Ruby." Elliot regained his composure immediately and
gave Ben the phone.

"I won't break my promise with Avery."

"It's up to you! I can go see her every year for myself.If I were you, I wouldn't give Avery and your three
children up for Ruby and Ivy either."

In Wesley's house, Wesley had discussed the risks for Shea to get pregnant with his mother the night
before and informed her of the consequences of insisting to give birth should something go wrong.

Sandra was terrified because Wesley stressed that he would not live if Shea died trying to bear his child.



"Shea, this is my fault.I thought that with how advanced the medical industry is lately, you would be like
any ordinary person as long as you get treatment.Wesley told me that your body would never be
normal."

Sandra held Shea's hands and continued, "Listen to Wesley and get an abortion!"
