Chapter 794


    After Elliot exined his reason, Mike bawled in a fit ofughter.


    "From your gift-picking skills, I have reasons to believe that you only attracted Avery because of your


    face and your money," Mike teased him mercilessly.


    "She doesn''t like my money," Elliot corrected him.


    "You can earn money, that means you have capabilities. You''re not all useless." Mike roared in


    I''m sure you’re delighted?"


    "You sure don''t mince your words." Elliot furrowed his brows.


    What did he mean by free? La was his daughter. This was a fact. If La was willing to let him raise


    her, he would take the time out to do so too.


    "The truth is always harsher. How are you and Avery doing? Are you still at a standoff?" Mike changed


    into a subject that made Elliot feel worse. "Shea''s funeral has been done. Let her rest in peace! You


    still have to live your life."


    "Are you asking me to go to Bridgedale and take her home?" There were hints of mockery in Elliot''s


    tone, "She treated Shea, yet she didn''t tell me. No matter what she does, she always ces herself


    first and I''m at thest."


    "Don''t you think you''re thinking too much into this?" Mike crossed his hands on his waist, trying to talk


    sense into Elliot. "Why does she not spend her life with you? Why did she secretly give birth to the

    children? It''s because you said you didn''t want children! You didn''t want children, but she chose to


    have kids, so she gave you up! Until now, I still don’t understand why you insist on not having children!"


    "I''ll tell you the reason!" Elliot’s gaze darkened. He enunciated, "Shea and I are twins. When I was


    young, I also had Shea’s condition. Shea is retarded, and so was I! Do you know Shea''s condition is


    much more serious than mine? All because she is a girl! My father not only hates retards, but he is also


    a misogynist! I received the best treatment when I was young, yet Shea got worse after being beaten


    up by my father over :e&;RIT: over again! I don’t want children because I don’t want to pass on my


    terrible genes to the next generation!"


    Mike never thought that Elliot would spill out all of the things that have to do with his reputation. He


    blushed and awkwardly turned around, pouring Elliot a cup of water.


    "Is it because Shea is dead, so you have no regard for this anymore?" Mike touched his nose. "Don''t


    worry, I won''t say a word of this. Chad too."


    "You also think this is a shameful matter, huh?" Elliot epted the cup of water, but he did not drink it.


    He looked at Mike calmly with a glum expression.


    "It''s not that shameful. It''s just that your identity is rather special. If this were to spread, others would


    surely talk." Mike analyzed, putting himself in Elliot’s shoes." No wonder you insisted on not saying this.


    Are you afraid that Avery would look down on you? She is not this type of person."


    "I know that she is not this type of person, I just don''t want to have any offspring." "But you two now


    have three healthy children," Mikeforted him, "Since the three children are healthy, you don''t have


    to think that your genes are inferior anymore. Also, your condition was healed when you were young,


    which meant that your condition wasn''t that serious."


    Elliot did not want to discuss his condition. It was an ugly scar. At that moment, he had the power and


    wealth to cover up that ugly scar. He did not want others to know about this terrible past.


    Mike looked at Elliot in pain. He suddenly hadpassion for Elliot. "I won''t give you a hard time


    anymore."


    "I don''t need your pity." Elliot put down the cup without drinking a single drop. "I also don''t need Avery


    to take pity on me."


    He turned around and walked into the cold night.


    Mike saw him leaving. He took a deep breath and collected his thoughts.


    Hayden was standing in his room. He heard the sound of a car engine roaring and immediately ran to


    the balcony, watching the ck Rolls-Roice leaving.


    He had mixed feelings toward Elliot. What he was sure of, was that he hated Elliot, yet sometimes he


    also longed for Elliot''s attention.


    A momentter, Mike knocked on the door and entered.


    "Big H, Elliot bought you a gift." Mike walked over with a small box. He showed the gold bar to him.


    "This gold bar is amazing!"


    Mike looked at the gold bar. His gaze instantly lost his previous sharpness. He was lost and confused.


    Why did Elliot give him a gold bar? Did he look like the person that likes gold?


    "Look! There''s an engraving on it!" Mike said excitedly! "The words were engraved by Elliot himself!"


    What Elliot said as he picked a gold bar because it was huge enough, he could engrave words on it.
