Chapter 826 A minute later, the car stopped by the roadside urgently. Chad got out of the car and ran home!
Mike punched the steering wheel! He could not ask Chad to give up on his family, but he also did not want to be the one that was given up on.
He felt aggrieved, so he took his phone out. He wanted to call Avery to complain. Before dialing, he suddenly remembered that Bridgedale has a time difference. At that hour, Avery must have already been in bed.
He did not want to disturb Avery’s sleep, but it would be fine to disturb Elliot. He sent Elliot a message. About an hour later, Elliot gave him a call. “Is Avery asleep?” Mike asked. “She just fell asleep. What’s up?” Elliot was having the call in the bathroom. Even so, his voice was very soft. “Chad’s mother fainted due to high blood pressure. I caused it.” Mike was smoking gloomily.” I’m guessing Chad hates me to death right now.” “He told you about this before.”
“Yes! But I can’t just stay silent about our relationship just because of this right? Is this fair to me?” Mike let out a puff of smoke. “He doesn’t want to answer my call right now nor reply to my messages. What does that mean? Is he breaking up with me?”
Elliot said, “Give him some time. Maybe his mother is in the hospital, and he needs to take care of her.”
“Oh. Before I told them about my relationship with Chad, his parents liked me a lot.” Mike felt terrible. “After announcing to them, their attitude toward me changed very quickly. I’m very lost right now. He doesn’t let me go look for him, but I don’t want to see you and Avery being all lovey-dovey.”
Mike was waiting at the Starry River Villa at that moment.
“You can’t ask others to think like you,” Elliot said calmly, “His parents are rather conservative. It’s normal that they can’t accept it. Before they can accept you, you have to bear the so-called unfairness.”
“Are you trying to ask me to be Chad’s secret lover?” Mike snorted. “I can’t f*cking take it! I won’t accepted it!”
“Then, break up.”
“F*ck off!” Mike was already annoyed. After listening to Elliot, he was even morele so.
He should have called Avery instead. Avery would never put it so harshly. Elliot came out from the washroom. On the bed, Avery slept94 peacefully.
There was only a night lamp by the bed, it was dim, so it would not affect her sleep. He wanted to lay down next to her and fall asleep together, but he could not fall asleep at all. From the day before until that day, he felt enormous joy. The more joyous he felt, the more worried he18 was. He could lie to himself that this is all a dream. Once the time was up, he could leave, but what would happen to Avery and the children? He could not imagine what Avery’s and the children’s reactions would be once she finds out that he was marryingd3 Chelsea. They would be in pain. They would be disappointed, and even in despair.
Elliot has regretted it! He should have succumbed to her temptations to come tocb Bridgedale.
If he was in Aryadelle alone. Even if he was lonely and unhappy, at least he would not be so conflicted and worried as he was at that moment.
He could have settled his issues before asking for forgiveness from Avery and the children, but it was too late! Elliot walked to Avery’s desk and stopped in front of it.
