Chapter 947
The bodyguard had checked the surveillance footage from the previous night and discovered when it was that the man came.
That man came after the sun set and waited there for about 20 minutes until Elliot came back.
He left as soon as he spotted Elliot.
His car was parked in the surveillance cameras’ blind spot and was therefore not photographed. Without the car plate number, there was no way to find out his personal information.
The surveillance cameras did not capture a clear shot of his face either, since he kept his head down when he saw Elliot.
It was only when he and Elliot looked at each other that his face was caught by the camera. However, the lack of proper lighting meant that the picture was very blurry. The bodyguard took a screenshot of the video and printed it out to show Elliot. Elliot looked at the photo over and over again but could not quite remember where he had seen that person before. For some odd reason, however, he felt that the person was quite familiar.
One could not even begin to describe how weird it was that he came over the previous night just to wait there and smile at him before leaving!
Elliot made up his mind to grab that man the next time they showed up.
He came out of the room at eight in the morning.
Mrs. Scarlet said to him, “Coffee and breakfast are ready, Master Elliot.” After a pause, she said, “Mrs. Cooper sent me a message saying that Avery and the others are heading to the hotel. You should go after breakfast!”
“That early?”
“Well, she said that Eric came very early.” Elliot had a scornful look and spoke in an even more disdained tone. “He’s veryed considerate.
“He is! He cares very much about Avery and the children, but it doesn’t really matter how considerate he is if you’re around. Avery’s heart is always with you, and no one can take that away.” Mrs. Scarlet’s words made Elliot feel at ease and erased all his exhaustion.
Avery allowed him to stay for dinner the previous night and even thanked him when he wasze leaving
Her attitude toward him had changed significantly. He believed that it would not be long before she accepted himf2 again. “By the way, Mrs. Cooper also said that Wesley sent a package. It was a birthday card for Hayden and Layla.” Mrs. Scarlet’s face darkened when she mentioned Wesley. “His whereabouts, and Shea’s burial ground, remain unknown.”
A bone-chilling glow appeared in Elliot’s eyes and he clenched his fists so tightly that his fingers turned4e pale. He hated Wesley, but at the same time, he could not bring himself to hate the man. Shea was important, and so was Robert. God must have been playing some kind of practical joke on Elliot when the man was given that ‘either-or’4e scenario.
All Wesley did was make a choice for him.
If he had been asked to choose, he would have chosen98 Shea. Then again, choosing Shea would leave him spending the rest of his life feeling guilty for Robert.
How could he blame Wesley when neither of those choices could be regarded as superior to the other?
He might not do anything to Wesley if Wesley appeared in front of him right then, but it was impossible for him to view Wesley as a friend. “You should let bygones be bygones, Master Elliot! Today is a festive day, so don’t feel sad.” Mrs. Scarlet recalibrated her mood and comforted Elliot.
Elliot responded with a deep grunt. Inside the hotel’s banquet hall, guests had begun to arrive one after another., and Avery being the host-greeted them at the entrance of the banquet hall. Mike was entertaining the other guests in the banquet hall. Lots of children cáme that day and the atmosphere was very lively. All of a sudden, a boy walked up to Avery and asked, “Will Hayden’s father come today, Auntie?
Avery recognized the boy as Daniel – Hayden’s best friend at school. “He will,” Avery answered. Speak of the devil! Elliot strode in wearing an exclusive bespoke suit and looked dazzling in it. He walked up to her and paused before glancing boldly at her face.
