Chapter 373


    Tammy and Avery were seated next to the window. They had a good view.


    "Mom!" La ran toward Avery while holding her brother''s hand.


    Avery lifted them up and sat them down on the couch. "Did you have fun in kindergarten today?"


    La shook her head. "Mom, the teacher says we need to poke our fingers next week ... I’m scared..."


    "It''s a blood test. They are going to check our blood sugar levels," said Hayden.


    Realizing what her daughter meant, Avery immediatelyforted her and said,"


    Don''t be scared, baby. It will just be a pinch.


    La''s attention was instantly drawn toward the cake on the table.


    "Mom, whose birthday is it today, Aunt Tammy?"


    Tammy shook her head with a smile. "We are having an early celebration for you and your brother''s

    birthday! Surprised?" She then took out two beautifully wrapped gifts and handed them to the children.


    "I am!" La epted the gift excitedly and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tammy! I love you so much!"


    "I love you too!" Tammy patted La on the head.


    Avery signaled Hayden to ept the gift, so he did with a blush on his face and said, "Thank you."


    "You''re wee! Open them up! I''ll get it changed if you don''t like it!" Tammy told them how to open


    the box. "Just pull the ribbon, and it will pop open."


    Soon, the children had unwrapped their gifts. Tammy had gotten La a beautiful delicate doll that was


    made in La''s image.


    "Wow, I like it so much! Isn''t this me?" La lifted the model up and nted a kiss on it.


    Hayden''s gift was the same as La''s. He looked at the handsome doll; he could not say he liked it,


    but he did not hate it.


    The waiter came with the food, and once everything was out of the kitchen, Avery put on birthday hats


    for the children.


    "Let''s just have a simple celebration this year. I will arrange a birthday party for you in the future when I


    have the chance,"


    Avery promised.


    "Mom, as long as you are with us, we don''t care if there''s a party!" La said sweetly." It''s a shame that


    Grandma isn''t around anymore. She said that she was going to make Hayden and I a chocte cake


    before she passed away."


    The smile on Avery''s face froze.


    Tammy immediately changed the subject." Do you want some cake, La? Let''s cut it!"


    "We need to make a wish first, Aunt Tammy.” La picked up the candles and said, "We need to put


    the candles on and sing a birthday song!"


    Meanwhile, at the entrance of the restaurant, a tall figure stood still.


    The man’s dark, brooding eyes locked onto Avery''s familiar face, before moving to look at Hayden and


    La.


    Elliot saw the birthday hats on their heads and thought to himself, "Today''s their birthday?"


    "Mr. Foster, this way," the person behind him said respectfully.


    Elliot ignored him and walked directly toward Avery. Confused, the others could only follow him without


    knowing what was happening.
