Chapter 761 Elliot‘s job was secondary. It was mainly to escape.
As long as he thought about how Shea had sacrificed herself for Robert, his heart would be torn apart again and again.
The phone screen lit up and he tapped the message.
A photo jumped into view–Robert‘s dark, dark eyes were open, looking adorably at the camera. As if she was looking into his eyes.
His breath hitched as he saw the picture.
He took a deep breath and put the phone down.
His rationality told him that Shea‘s death had nothing to do with Robert, but he could not cross the hurdle in his heart.
As long as he thought that Shea would never appear again and call him brother sweetly, his sorrow couldn‘t help but surge up and destroy all his rationality.
At night, at Starry River Villa.
Mike invited Jun and Ben over to celebrate Robert‘s discharge.
Babies Robert‘s age slept more.
Robert was sleeping when they arrived.
When they said that Robert resembled Elliot, Avery naturally thought to herself, Robert doesn‘t look that much like Elliot.
Because she had seen a photo of Elliot when he was young not long ago.
When Elliot was a baby, he did not look like this.
She kept those words to herself.
Because at a glance, Robert did look a little like the current Elliot.
At dinner, Ben poured a glass of fruit juice for Avery.
“Avery, I sincerely apologize for misunderstanding you previously,” Ben said. “And you‘ve worked hard giving birth to Robert!”
Chad asked, “Ben, do you know when the boss will be back?”
“You‘re his special assistant. If you don‘t know, how would I know?” Ben said. “But I know something. He did go to Hartsburg for some business, but he chose the location. He insisted
on going to Hartsburg.”
“Maybe it‘s because Hartsburg is warmer!” Chad did not forget to defend his boss.
“He probably just doesn‘t want to face Robert‘s discharge.” Ben changed the topic. “Avery, don‘t worry. He‘ll be fine after a while. He‘s been busy dealing with Cole recently and doesn‘t have the energy to care about anything else.”
“Deal with Cole?” Avery was stunned.
Cole‘s mother had already died for him. Was Elliot still angry?
“That‘s right! He wants Cole‘s company to go bankrupt FKyIBT=c spend the rest of his life in poverty,” Ben said. “If Cole wasn‘t his nephew, he wouldn‘t have left Cole alive.”
Avery didn‘t feel sorry for Cole.
Cole had brought this upon himself.
“Avery, has Tammy contacted you recently?” Jun suddenly asked, changing the topic.
“She sent me a message,” Avery said. “She went overseas with her family after she was discharged. After she heard about Robert, she sent me a message to comfort me.”
Frustrated, Jun picked up his glass and drank from it..
“Jun, don‘t be discouraged. Look, Avery and Elliot are divorced and haven‘t remarried... Aren‘t they still together?” Ben comforted him.
Avery corrected him. “I only have contact with him because of the child.”
‘I can‘t have children with Little Sweetie. So it‘s most likely impossible for me to have children with her.‘ He drank again to drown his sorrows.
“Jun, live well first.” Avery couldn‘t bear to see him so sad. “No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If you two are fated, you‘ll meet again in the future.”
“Thank you,” Jun said. “You have a worse problem than I do, but you have to comfort me.”
Avery‘s heart sank. She picked up her juice glass and took a sip. After a while, Mrs. Cooper walked out of the master bedroom on the first floor and came to Avery‘s side. “Avery, Auntie Hong called me just now and said that Sir is back. He must have come back to see Robert! I knew he wasn‘t such a heartless person!”
