Chapter 1010
Avery walked up to him. "What did you buy?"
She had a clear view of what was in his trunk, and she instantly froze. The trunk was spacious and
there was no telling what could be in it. Currently, it was jammed packed with boxes and bags.
"Elliot, didn''t you tell me to go to your ce tonight?" She changed the subject and said, "I thought you
weren''ting."
"Youing over, meing over, aren''t they the same thing?" He took the bags and boxes out of the
trunk and said, "I was walking past a street this afternoon and saw some nice things that you and kids
might like, so I bought them all."
Avery was stunned for a moment, before finally realizing what he had just said. "Are you saying that
you spent the entire afternoon buying all these for me and the kids?!"
"Yes." He continued to move the things he bought out of the trunk.
She grabbed onto his arm and said seriously, "Elliot Foster! Are you still drunk fromst night?"
He leaned toward her.
Avery flushed and shoved his handsome-looking face away. "What are you doing? Our daughter is
watching! Quit fooling around!"
"I''m giving you a chance to check whether you can smell any alcohol on me," he said seriously. He
then turned to La, "La,e here. Daddy bought you gifts."
La immediately hopped toward him like a bunny as soon as she heard that there were gifts.
Avery noticed that Elliot was acting oddly and pulled him aside. "Is today some kind of special asion
or anniversary? Why are you buying me and the kids so many gifts?"
Suddenly, she was reminded of what Tammy told her earlier that day. "Is it that... you wronged mest
night and you are now trying topensate me with gifts?!"
Elliot''s expression shifted drastically from her theory. He had gone and bought this many things after
being provoked by Nathan. Nathan had asked for fifteen million a month as an allowance. Elliot had
spent far less on Avery and the children in the span of a year.
Nathan mentioned that Elliot was so wealthy that he would never run out of money, so Elliot had
decided to spend more on Avery =h,=VIW= his children.
Seeing Elliot''s silence made Avery''s heart sink. She had chosen to trust him, but judging by the look on
his face, she could tell that he was hiding something from her.
"Who exactly were you drinking withst night?" Avery stared him directly in the eyes and lowered her
voice. "I don''t want to suspect you, Elliot, and I don''t want to argue with you in front of the kids either,
but you have to give me a reasonable exnation, otherwise, how am I supposed to ept all these
gifts?!"
Elliot nced at the children and saw La standing next to the trunk while looking at them seriously.
La was concerned that her mother would be hurt, so she was observing the situation and was
ready to attack Elliot if he dared to upset her mother.
"Darling, I am not fighting with your mom." Elliot directed an endearing smile toward his daughter.

La scowled in disbelief.
"Avery, I did lie to youst night." Elliot faced Avery and said, "But I didn''t wrong you in any way. I lied
and said that I was out drinking with friends, but that wasn''t the truth. I was drinking alonest night."
Avery was confused. "Why would you lie to me? Why were you drinking alone? You said that you were
in a good moodst night and that was a lie as well. You weren’t happy at allst night."
"Yeah." He stared at her doe-like eyes and pulled her into his embrace. "I wasn''t upset because of us. I
was just reminded that I don''t have any family that I can invite to the wedding and that made me a little
depressed."
Avery hugged him back tightly. "It''s okay, we can invite more friends."
"Yeah. I''m fine now." Elliot adjusted himself and let her go. "I bought gifts for you and the kids to make
you happy and to give me more motivation to make more money."
"But you bought too much." Avery took his hand and walked toward La. "If you buy us this many
things every time youe over, there wouldn''t be enough space in my house forthem."
