Chapter 211


    Avery returned home earlier than usual that evening.


    Once Laura took Hayden home from school, she picked up La and went into the bedroom.


    Hayden already knew what was about to happen when he saw his grandmother carry his sister away.


    "Give me your bag, Hayden," Avery said as she stretched a hand out to Hayden.


    Hayden passed his bag to his mother with both hands.


    Avery opened the bag and took out theptop.


    She did not open theptop, but said, "Uncle Mike told me everything. You''ve used the skills he taught


    you to do a lot of bad things. Did you know that was illegal, Hayden? Do you know what you would


    have to face if they caught you?"


    Hayden answered his mother without batting an eyelid, "I''m only four. Can they throw me in jail?"


    Avery was at a loss for words.


    Even if Elliot ruled over Aryadelle, he probably had no way of sending a four-year-old to prison.


    However, that was not the point.


    The point was that Hayden''s values were beginning to get twisted. 1


    "You won''t be four years old forever. You''re bound to grow up," Avery said as she tried to educate her


    son. "I can''t watch you make the same mistake again, so I''m confiscating yourptop for now."


    "Uncle Mike would just get me a new one," Hayden said.


    Avery felt her head throb, then sighed and said, "Are you nning on acting up again?!"


    Hayden shook his head and said, "I won''t mess with Elliot Foster again."


    As long as he left Elliot Foster alone, nobody else would be able to figure out that it was him.


    "No dinner for you tonight," Avery said, then walked towards her room with theptop in her arms. Her


    eyes were red.


    Hayden knew that his mother would nevery a finger on him, but the thought of Avery''s angry face


    upset him.


    All he wanted to do was punish the person who picked on his mother.


    At seven in the evening, Zoe received a text message.


    [Meet me tonight at 10 at the Scenic Hotel, Room V809.


    I want to get to know you better. Elliot.] 1


    Did Elliot just invite her to a hotel at 10 p.m.?!


    It was hard not to let one''s imagination run wild considering the meeting ce and time.


    They were both adults.


    Even someone who had never dated would know the deeper meaning behind that text.


    Why was Elliot suddenly changing his behavior toward her?


    Zoe did not overthink it, because her head was spinning with joy.


    She had to dress up tonight and make sure to leave asting impression on him.


    She was determined topletely take over Avery''s ce in Elliot''s heart.


    Over at the Starry River Vi, Hayden and La climbed in bed after washing up.


    La pulled out a piece of chocte from underneath her pillow, then said, "Grandma asked me to


    give this to you, Hayden. She was worried you''d be hungry... Hurry up and eat it!"

    Hayden shook his head and refused.


    La shoved her hands back under her pillow and fumbled around.


    Suddenly, she pulled out yet another piece of chocte.


    "This was from Mommy. She''s also worried you''d be hungry. Just eat one of them, Hayden! We''ll take


    one piece each. How''s that?" La begged gently.


    "Did Mommy really ask you to give that to me?" Hayden said as he stared at the choctes in his


    sister''s hand.


    They were clearly identical.


    "That''s right! Actually, they''re both from Mommy. She told me to say it was from Grandma at first


    because she felt bad..."


    A hint of warmth washed over Hayden''s cold face.


    At 10 p.m. that night, an alluring person appeared at the entrance of the Scenic Hotel.
