Chapter 1140
By the time she woke up, in deep sorrow, it was already dusk and the sky looked like it was on fire.
She picked up her phone and took a look at the time, only to realize that it was already half-past five in
the evening and Elliot was no longer in the room.
She took a deep breath and sent a message to Cole.
''Have you taken Adrian for the tests?''
The door to the bedroom was pushed open once she sent the message and La''s face appeared
before her.
"Mom, are you awake? Why have you been asleep for so long?" La immediately went into the room
when she saw that her mother was awake. "I am here to tell you that dinner is ready."
Avery set her phone down and lifted the nket to get out of bed and put on her shoes. "La, how are
you getting used to Daddy''s house? We still have a lot of our things back home, so if you are having a

hard time getting used to this ce, we can move back anytime you want."
"It''s a bit hard to get used to it! Dad''s house is so big, like a maze." La sighed. "But it''s nice, and a
bigger house means we can put more things in here. It would be better if Hayden likes this ce too."
"It''s going to be very difficult for your brother to ept this ce." Avery walked towards the
washroom. "Once your brotheres back, we will move back into our house." "Oh." La followed
her into the washroom. "Mom, there''s a parents'' meeting tomorrow at school. Are youing, or is
Dading?"
Avery was taken by surprise for a moment. "Would you prefer me or your dad?"
"Of course I want you toe. You are so pretty!" La''s lips curled into a smile before her expression
suddenly turned into a scowl. "Dad really wants toe but I don''t want him to."
"Do you want me to go simply because I look prettier than your dad? La, we shouldn''t judge a book
by its cover!" Avery felt more refreshed after washing her face and said, "Your dad is going to be really
sad if he knows that you think he doesn''t look good."
Avery had never considered Elliot to be a fragile man before, but the more she spent time with him, the
more she realized how sensitive he truly was. Perhaps it was because he was growing older?
"I don''t think that he doesn''t look good; I just think he looks too stern might scare our teachers. Mom,
can youe to the parents’ meeting, please?" La begged.
"Sure! I will talk to your dadter."
The two stepped out of the master bedroom and went downstairs. Elliot had Robert in his arms and
was smiling gently as he weed them down the stairs.
It took only one look for Avery to notice what he was thinking.
"Avery, let''s go to La''s parents'' meeting tomorrow together!" He said to her with a grin.
Avery looked at La. "How about we both go?" "But my teacher said only one of the parents is
required to participate!" La felt troubled.
"I will talk to your teacher about it." Elliot desperately wanted to attend his daughter''s parents’ meeting,
but he could tell that La preferred to have her mother participate, so the solution to everything would
be for both him and Avery to attend together.
"How about we let your dad go this time? I''ve already been to a couple of your parents '' meetings, but
your dad hasn''t gotten to go to his kid''s parents'' meetings his entire life, " Avery consoled La and
said, "Let''s take pity on him!"
La burst outughing. "Alright, let’s take pity on him!"
The smile on Elliot''s face froze as he felt weak in his knees. Going to his child''s parents'' meeting was
supposed to be something to be happy about, but Avery somehow managed to make it sound
horrendous.
During dinner, Avery had only managed to take two bites of her food before she received Cole''s
message.
She took out her phone and saw the test results Cole sent her. She forwarded it to Wesley so that he
could check if the results matched with Shea.
"Don''t use your phone while eating," Elliot said, "Who are you messaging?"
