Chapter 556 Avery saw Elliot’s shimmery wet eyes. She wanted to say no. It was not how he put it.
However, Elliot suddenly stood up and left in front of her. He slammed the door next to her shut with a loud bam!
Elliot did not go to the driver’s seat. He stood outside the car, took his phone, and made a call.
Avery silently looked at him. They were divided by a car door, yet it seemed like they were divided by an unbridgeable gap in between35 them.
He said that in her heart, the child was more important than him. How could she compare them together? The child was a weak being, of course, she would protect the child even more.
He said that she did not have confidence in him. It was more like she did not have confidence ine8 herself.
Not long after, Mike ran over. Avery saw the two of them talking outside the car. She did not know what they were talking about. Mike quickly accepted the car keys from Elliot and came to the driver’s seat.
Elliot had his back facing here from beginning to end. Avery saw his back muscle tense79. up.
Once Mike got in the car, she retracted her gaze.
“He said that he’s going back tomorrow. Did you ask him to go back?” Mike started the car and87 asked.
“Hmm.” Avery could not help but look out the window once more.
“He said that he will be staying at the hotel tonight. Did you two argue?” Mike drovega off.
Avery ignored Mike.
She leaned against the car window. She saw Elliot’s figure getting further and further away from her. It was until when she could hardly see him then only, he turned around.
“Why do you two do this to yourselves?” Mike stopped in front of the red light and sighed.” Would you be even happier if you split up with him?”
“My head hurts.” Avery inhaled and closed her eyes. As long as she thought about Elliot, her brain would hurt as if it was going to explode.
“Go back and rest well. Your body has not recovered. I shouldn’t have brought you out,” Mike said, “Also, I talked to Wesley. He never blamed you at all. No matter what his mother said, don’t take it to heart.”
During dinner, Shea lost her appetite. The first was because she had to return to Aryadelle with Elliot the next day. The second was because she knew Elliot and Avery fought again.
Mike took some food for her. “Shea, you can always come here whenever you want.”
Shea asked, “Then, when are you guys going back?”
Mike thought for a while. “We’ll have to see when Avery recovers. Once she recovers, we’ll definitely return.”
Shea took a small bite and asked softly, “Why did they fight?”
Layla and Hayden wanted to know the answer too. They looked at Mike.
“Uh…I can’t explain it in a few simple sentences, but what I am sure of is that this time, Elliot did nothing wrong. Of course, Avery did nothing wrong as well.” Mike changed the subject.” Shea, let’s take you out later. You have been here for so many days, but you have not had the chance to look around!”
Once they left, the entire mansion was in silence.
Avery lay in bed. Her arm hurt badly, but her heart hurt even more.
This time, she was the one that pushed him away. She did not know whether this decision was right or not, but besides this decision, she had no other better choice.
