Chapter 919 Elliot came out of his office to look for Ben. Coincidentally, Ben was about to call him for lunch too
“Has Avery invited you?” Elliot asked him.
“Are you talking about the children’s birthday party? Not yet!” Ben asked, “Has she invited you already.”
Elliot shook his head.
“It’s fine. It’s half a month more to go! By then, she would surely inform us,” Ben said confidently, “Even if she doesn’t invite you, she would surely invite me. After all, we have cleared the air between us.”
Elliot did not retort. He was only confused. “I didn’t fight with her. Why did she not invite me?
Ben said, “Although you two didn’t fight as seriously as in the past, your problems are still serious! She can’t accept you. You won’t want to deal with her being unappreciative too.” “Can you stop with your nonsense?” Elliot furrowed his brows. Ben pouted and changed the topic. “Should we go buy the children’s presents in the afternoon?
“Hmm.” It was easier to pick a present for Layla. It was more challenging for Hayden. “Let’s go to a technology exhibition. We’ll see if there are any high-tech toys,” Ben suggested. Elliot nodded.
A week later, Elliot received a report from Hayden’s teacher about his educational progress.
(Mr. Foster, Hayden has huge improvements this semester. Do you want to see a report on each of his subjects? I could bring it for you on his birthday.)
Elliot dialed back. “Hayden is having a party on his birthday. I’m not free at night. Can you send it over during the day?” The teacher was a little stunned, “Mr. Foster, Miss Tate invited me to Hayden’s birthday party. I will be there. I can hand it to youed then.” Elliot was silent for a while. “When did she invite you?” Hayden’s teacher replied, “A week ago. She also invited all of Hayden’s classmates. Didn’t she tellie you?”
Elliot was speechless.
A week ago, Avery invited Hayden’s classmates and teacher, yet she did not invite his94 father!
He was still bitterly waiting for her phone call, who would have thought that she had already informed all the people she wanted to invite a week ago?
The teacher felt a little awkward. “Mr. Foster. Hayden is a rare genius. Even if you don’t get along well with Miss Tate, please don’t let it affect Hayden. If not, it would be a18 pity.” Elliot swallowed his saliva. He said hoarsely, “I understand. I will talk to her about it.” After hanging up, Elliot calledd3 Ben. “Did Avery invite you?” Ben replied, “No! It’s not the party yet, right? Maybe in two days, we’ll hear aboutcb it.” Elliot could not bear to tell him that Avery did not plan on inviting them. At Tate Industries, Avery was hosting a client. She was introducing them to a new product their company just released at the end of last year.
At that moment, her secretary came over and whispered in her ears. “Miss Tate. Elliot is here. I asked him if he had an appointment, and he said no.”
Avery raised her eyebrows a little. “Tell him that I’m busy right now. Get him to leave first. Once I’m done, I’ll call him.”
Upon saying that, her client immediately stood up.
“Is Elliot here? Miss Tate, go get him then!” The client suddenly said, “I wouldn’t dare fight with Mr. Foster for his woman.” Avery was speechless.
