Chapter 873


    Avery knew that Elliot would not try to take the children away or force them into doing anything, but she


    still felt uneasy.


    "I''m hanging up, Avery. He''s tailing me right now." Mike''s tone made it sound like he wanted to shake


    off Elliot.


    Avery immediately snapped, "Don''t speed, Mike! Safetyes first. Let him follow you if he wants to.


    It’s not like he can just walk into La’s school anyway."


    "Alright! Maybe he''s just worried about Robert! His face looked terrible when he heard that Robert had


    a fever. I''m guessing his first reaction was the same as mine and he probably thought that Robert was


    in the same condition as before." Mike’s emotions gradually calmed down.


    "Exin it to himter, then! Drive safe.


    I’m hanging up."


    "Okay."


    After he hung up, Mike nced at La.

    She was pouting and her eyes were red. She was not trying, but she looked especially devastated.


    "Did we scare you earlier, sweetie? Don''t be scared. He won''ty a finger on me. Even if we do fight, I


    might not lose!" Mike said.


    "If he hits you, then I''ll never like him again."


    "Oh? Are you saying that you''re beginning to like him again now?"


    La frowned and said in frustration," Didn''t he ask for another chance? I''m still thinking about it!"


    Mike sighed. "Why are you forgiving him so easily? You''ll be easily taken advantage of in the future like


    this, sweetie! You should learn from your mother. She''s..."


    "He’s handsome, rich, and is a sweet talker ... That''s why Mommy gave him three kids," La said,


    Mike was speechless. He stayed silent for a moment, then retorted, "He’s a sweet talker? When was


    he ever a sweet talker?"


    "He called me ''sweetie'' just now."


    Mike was at a loss for words once again.


    She was right. It was not easy for someone as stone-cold as Elliot to call someone " sweetie".


    It was clear that he was working hard to redeem himself with La.


    Fifteen minutester, they pulled up at the


    school gates.


    Once Mike brought the car to a halt, the Rolls-Roice behind him followed suit.


    Mike carried La out of the car.


    Elliot had barely made it out of the car when a h>a*some silhouette suddenly appeared and took La


    out of Mike''s arms.


    A delighted smile instantly appeared on La''s face.


    Elliot watched from afar as La wrapped her little arms around Eric Santos'' neck and gave him a


    peck on the cheek.


    Elliot''s fingers instantly tightened around the car door.


    Now that La had Eric, she immediately forgot about the father standing behind her.


    Eric carried La into the school, while


    Mike leisurely strolled over to Elliot.


    "Go home! You cane back again when Avery returns." Mike pat Elliot on the shoulder and said,


    "As long as Avery forgives you, it doesn''t matter how many kids you have, they will all obediently


    acknowledge you in the end."


    "How''s Robert?" Elliot asked after he calmed down.


    "His fever subsided. It''s not like thest time. It was just amon cold," Mike said. "So Avery won''t be


    Elliot was relieved, then got back into the car.


    "Don''t even think about going to Bridgedale to look for her. You''ll only trigger negative emotions in her if


    you do that," Mike said as he held onto the car and bent over. "If you can''t stand the guilt and can''t wait


    to see her, then you should at least give her a call first! Who knows? She might just pick up"


    Once Mike was done talking, he closed the door for Elliot.


    The ck Rolls-Roice drove off and made its way onto the main road.


    As Elliot sat in the car, he clenched his jaw in torment.


    Of course he had thought of giving Avery a call.


    He held his breath, then pulled out his phone and dialed her number.
